Most Americans get Islam?
Most Americans get Islam. Well, they get it at least enough to know that there's a conflict between Islam and the West. But will they get it enough to vote President Hussein Obama out of office in November? Maybe not. They think the US should leave the Islamic world alone... to do what?Nearly two-out-of-three Likely U.S. Voters (63%) believe there is a conflict in the world today between Western civilization and Islamic nations, but most also think the United States should leave the Islamic world alone.Hmmm.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 18% of voters feel there is not a global conflict now between the West and Islamic nations. Another 19% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters nationwide was conducted on May 10-11, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

The endless harangue about Americans wanting to boss everybody around is soooo wrong. Americans have built a good life at home. They want to live in the home they have created. There is a strong isolationist streak in America, and always has been. If the U.S. goes out, it will be to protect America, protect friends, do business (which helps feed the poor worldwide), attempt (with mixed results) to help the poor, attempt (also with mixed results) to get countries to stop mauling, starving, enslaving, and otherwise slaughtering their citizens and neighbors. If the U.S. can unload the EPA and other dictatorial limitations on the high tech improvements on getting at America's underlying ocean of oil, etc. using increasingly "clean" extraction, processing, emissions containment and energy production from them... then the $$ of oil revenue going to people who want everyone dead or enslaved will dry up. Of course, then the #InternationalOccupy people will moan about it being Not Fair that America gets to eat, live in a house, and have enough electricity for air conditioning. But, Gaia people, you can't have it both ways.
