Happy Eid?!

Hillary Clinton (and President Obama) released videos to make sure we are all politically correct and appeasing our Muslim friends on this day of Eid ul-Fitr also known as “Eid”.  Now I have no problem with recognizing that our country is “religion neutral” when it comes to our government and that we are a welcoming country that doesn’t persecute those of other religions. You know, like some of those, er… Muslim countries.

The problem is the lavish praise of Muslims that I don’t see coming from these people toward Christians. It’s that Ms. Clinton - not a known practicing Muslim at least - acts as if she is one.  “I’m delighted to celebrate…” she says.  Let’s see if this same tone comes from the White House about Christmas.

Hello, and Eid Mubarak. I’m delighted to celebrate the end of Ramadan by wishing all of you a happy Eid. In 1996, my husband and I were privileged to host the first ever White House Eid celebration, which has now become a tradition. And this year, I hosted an Iftar at the State Department, with Muslims and non-Muslims attending. We hope that reinforces every year that all faiths have a home here in the United States. For Muslims all over the world, Eid ul-Fitr marks the end of a holy month of fasting and prayer. This time of self-reflection reminds us that the values of Islam – charity, community, cooperation, compassion – are values which we hold dear as Americans and which have contributed so much to American culture. As President Obama said in Cairo, the United States seeks a new beginning with Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect. We know there is more that unites peoples of faith than divides us. So as Ramadan draws to a close, let us hold on to that spirit of community throughout the year to achieve our common goals of peace, prosperity, and stability. And I wish all of you a very happy year as well. Thank you.

    Well, I just found this website while looking for anti-obama/big government stickers and I have to say thanks for speaking up. Hillary and all the rest of these idiots in Washington need to back home, sit down and take a lesson from America’s founders. Government is OUT OF CONTROL, education is key, people think conservatives are bible thumping hicks from Alabama (no offense) who want to tell you how to live your life. NOT THE CASE! Man, Democrats, Liberals trying to say that they believe in freedom, yeah, the freedom of big brother government running every aspect of your life. This is terrible. Educate your friends that Republicanism is the answer!!!
