The trouble with your position is that all belief systems can be called religions. Including liberalism. You just have to "believe," and ignore the naked emperor.
Personal prayer is great if that's what you need. Talking to yourself to mull things over and think things through is a time honored tradition and is very useful. My problem is with people that make religion and scripture the focal point of their life and hold it higher than all else. In ordinary life, these folks are easy enough to ignore, or avoid, but when they start running for public office and positions of power, I get very concerned. History has shown that politics, power and government don't mesh well with religion for the good of the people. I want a secular government that keeps their noses out of people's religions, or lack of religion.
Everything is racist today. I am so sick of hearing about false, made up racism. It is rampant on college campsuses, the media, government, the DOJ, and Democrats politicians. It is tearing this country apart.If there isn't a problem, they have to invent one, so they can blame Republicans. I'm sick of it, too.
Then the response would be to select an administration next year that would support the people's desires and willingness to fight radical Islam.The President wants to be friends with everyone around the world, which clearly isn't working. I think the other part of it is that he wants to be able to end his term and say that he didn't have any terrorist attacks on U.S. soil during his time. That's why he would rather classify it as work place violence or under some other cause.I agree that the French response has been more visible and stronger. I also agree that we should have a better response. However, let's also not forget that when France passed their state of emergency they eroded a lot of citizen's rights. Part of the state of emergency powers allows the government to forbid mass gatherings, limit movements of people and increase the monitoring of people. We don't want to go down that road here. That's allowing the terrorists to win in my book.

I don't disagree, and that's a good point. We've seen that anarchy as recently as Hurricane Katrina, with gun confiscations in New Orleans.
But I think our unwillingness to fight radical Islam right here may be our existential downfall.
As a whole, I don't think it's the American people's unwillingness to fight radical Islam, I think it's that of a select few, those who are in or close to the current administration.
In other news, after years of lying about his religion, Barack Obama told the G-20 Summit attendees that he was part of the Muslim community. If he wasn't ashamed of his religion, why did he pretend to be a Baptist for all these years?Not Baptist; it was United Church of Christ (UCC) he claims to be.
Jeremiah wright said he was involved with helping Obama accept his Muslim faith while he attended wright's hate group church over the course of 20 years, where Obama claimed he never listened to any of the hate whitey sermons when it blew up in the news.
It is certainly time to examine the croons of the President in light of his actions and see if they rise to the level of treason, IMO.
