President Obama finally decided to take a position on the Ground Zero Mosque, and as expected, he sided against America. Speaking at a White House dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, the president strongly approved of building a mosque near ground zero claiming the country’s founding principles demanded it. But I can find no founding principle that demands a symbol of our enemy’s victory be erected at the site of the greatest terrorist act in our nation’s history.

Obama’s ringing endorsement of a mosque headed by a cleric who has made extremist statements, desires to see America incorporate Shira law, has shady funding, used the conquest-tainted name of Cordoba, and finally the location chosen, all point not to reconciliation, but continued jihad.

But this shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone considering Obama’s positions have consistently favored non-Americans since his unfortunate election. From overseas apology tours, to the Arizona illegal immigration law, to now supporting this mosque with a double meaning, he has without fail sided against the American people at every turn.

Obama opined: “As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country.” No one is saying they cannot practice their religion; it’s the highly suspect location of this soon-to-be largest mosque in America that is at issue. The question of why that location, and not say, in the middle of Utah, never seems to get a straight answer from apologists. Additionally, Islam is more than just a religion to the majority of followers; it is a sociopolitical system that happens to be entirely antithetical to Western culture.

An interesting question is explored by Roger Kimball, who mused over what exactly is Obama the president of?

…mulling over the administration’s position regarding the proposed mosque at Ground Zero - a mosque at Ground Zero! - thinking about the President’s obsequiousness to a Saudi prince, his exclusion of such words as “jihad” and “Islamofascism” from the library of permissible words, I wonder exactly where his loyalty lies.  Not for the first time over the last 18 months or so, I  ask myself: “So here’s President Obama: what, exactly, is he President of.”

“The United States, silly,” you say.

Well, that’s what it says at www.whitehouse.gov.  But is he really the President of the Untied States?  I am not, I hasten to add, suggesting that he wan’t born here or anything like that. No I am just thinking about that little word “of.” It’s a complicated semantic package, isn’t it? Look it up and ponder the page of nuanced definitions all of which suggest some for of union, contiguity, possession, adhesion, filiation.

But is Barack Hussein Obama President of the United States in any of those senses? Again, I don’t dispute his title.  I just wonder what, in his case, it means.

It is, I submit, a question that comes up in his case in the case of Obama in a way that is historically unprecedented.  America has had good presidents and bad presidents, popular presidents and unpopular presidents, honorable presidents and dishonorable presidents, competent presidents and Jimmy Carter. Never before, I believe, have we had a president whose tenure is surrounded by this nimbus of disaffection. You might have thought Jimmy Carter was a sanctimonious nincompoop. You never doubted that he was an American, by which I mean not just that he was a citizen but that his essential identification was with this country.

Can the same be said of Obama? Can it?

If it can, one is hard pressed to find evidence of it.
