Obama: too soft on Islamic Terrorists; always apologizing for America


"After thinking it over for a day or so, President Obama decided against publicly releasing the pictures of a blood-soaked dead Bin Laden. The President compared releasing these photographs to excessively celebrating a touchdown (“spiking the ball”) and added that such gore would only inflame the “Arab Street” and make the U.S. even more unpopular. He also assured Muslims that bin Laden’s corpse was treated with respect and in accordance with Islamic law.

This is the wrong approach for it projects an image of weakness to a culture that worships strength. Foreign policy is not about gaining a few points in the latest Pew Middle East survey. What Obama (and his weak stomach advisors) fails to realize is that gruesomely punishing one’s enemy offers an all-too-rare teachable moment regarding what happens to bad guys who mess with Uncle Sam."

Romans 13 [NKJV]:

  ¹ Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. ² Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. ³ For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. ⁴ For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.

Incidentally, The New Living Translation Bible gets the intended tone of Romans 13:4 all wrong:

"⁴ The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong."[NLT]


Where's the "avenger to execute wrath" part?
