This proud Israeli-American believes "religious right" is wrong about Obama

[SecularMotion]

It is my opinion that the term "religious right" is wrong. There is nothing right with the fundamentalist cults, be they Christian, Moslem or Jewish, that are trying to force their beliefs and prejudices on the rest of us by legislation, terror or judicial decrees.

The fundamentalist cults, and particularly the most conservative Jewish rabbis, are very busy falsely trying to convince their followers that President Obama is an enemy of Israel. His greatest "transgression" is that he advocates a Palestinian state and peace between Jews and Arabs.

As an Israeli-American I am highly offended. As an Israeli I am a veteran of the 1948 war that secured the establishment of the State of Israel. As an American I voted, enthusiastically, for Barack Obama, and I will vote for him again next year, albeit with less enthusiasm, because I still believe that while he means well, he is less than competent in implementing his proposals.

1. Obama doesn't strike me as being an "enemy of Israel"

But, thank-you for posting this.

2. He's trying to strike a balance, but people looking for any excuse to bash Obama...

... will always find SOME excuse to claim he's going way too far in either one direction or the other.

3. Oh, please, the religious right is consistently wrong about everything.

Maybe they'd figure some of it out if they ever sat down and read that book they're worshiping as an idol.
