NCRegister: 3 Things Obama Didn't Say in Cairo

Tom Hoopes has a brilliant re-keying of several passages in Obama's speech to a muslim audience in Cairo earlier this week:

Obama told his Muslim audience: “[W]e must say openly to each other the things we hold in our hearts and that too often are said only behind closed doors.”

Hmmm … here are three things he didn’t seem to want to say openly in Cairo: He didn’t praise doubt, or promote LGBT, or read the Koran’s next verse.

[Read the jarring parallelisms Hoopes sets out to prove these three points.]

David Corn in MotherJones has a perfect phrase to describe what Obama is doing:

"Ultimately, Obama is calling for universal acceptance of a relativistic, ecumenical, multicultural view of human nature and the world."

The problem at the center of Obama's position, of course, is that it is premised on a relativistic world-view. This core despair of truth irrevocably flavors his ecumenical, multicultural outreach, vitiating it of the effectiveness it could have if it were objective.
