What We're Really Hearing

"If we're not dealing with some kind of emotional conspiratorial entanglement dating back to your formative years in one of their schools, why won't you say the name?"
"You better be careful you're crossing a line that threatens the unique legacy I've earned to be remembered as the greatest ruler that this country has ever had."
"So what else is not new?  But back to the point.  As you have said, that name is not important, is insignificant, meaningless in the defense of anyone and our country, and in overcoming the enemy, so why won't you say it?"

"Because you're also including the good ones too who're not cutting off people's heads, burning people alive, enslaving women . . ."
"Oh, the good ones who murder their daughters in 'honor killings', don't allow their daughters to go to school . . ."
"Now you're obfuscating the issue --"

"No, you are; every time we mention these atrocities they're committing you hurl at us that Christians enslaved blacks over a hundred years ago, as if their countrymen hadn't been selling them to anyone who wanted to buy them for brute labor, including the thousands of people chanting in their streets for the death of Americans.  You ignore the emphasis that people place on their culture or heritage, coming together when they feel that they and their heritage are threatened; as if we were wrong to have looked suspiciously at all Japanese after they had evilly, treacherously, attacked us or that it was wrong for us to be aware of the Germans among us when the Nazis were trying to take over the world or that we were wrong for fighting in Korea and Vietnam when the communists were trying to take over the world.  Just the other day you brought this reference up to the Christians again and it always comes across as a blatant attempt by you and your cohorts to justify the evil of these terrorists who identify as Muslims . . . ."
