Rex Murphy: Testing America’s tolerance

[Karen]

Not everyone voted for BHO & a lot of people that did aren't happy with the results.Yes, the Muslims can move back to their own country where they don't have to worship among us Infidels. This country was settled by Christian people with a whole different set of beliefs & values then the Muslims. This is my country & I don't plan on leaving it anytime soon. Forget being humble because that is what is wrong with this counrtry.

They don't need to move - they are as welcome here as any other religious group. What do you have against our beloved Popcornbird, for example?

And if you want to get picky about it, there were people here before white settlers arrived who were not Christians, and it's their country, too. You'd likely have little in common with the Pilgrims, if you looked at what they believed, do you celebrate Christmas? Easter? They didn't.

Not everyone voted for BHO, and sure people are allowed to complain about any politician, but this is a participatory democracy. As Americans, we understand - or should, anyway - that sometimes our party doesn't win, but rather than just complaining, if we don't like the results, we still have to live with it, and work for change in the next election. That's how it works.

The people that were here before the white settlers killed each other. They all didn't live in peace & harmony. Where did they come from?

We don't have to live with it. That is why we are fighting a war.

There were many tribes, that were peaceful, and some that were not. Where they came from in generally thought to be crossing the Bering Straight from Russia and Asia long before countries existed.
