NIHILISM

What a mouthful that word is... And you just know that someone who is afraid to show his college transcripts would probably not know what the hell it means.  I didn't know it and I also have a college degree.  I have to presume that Valerie found it for Hussein to use. 

It all started with Hussein's refusal to come to grips with the terminology, "Radical Islamic Terrorist," or anything close to that.  So, while Britain's Prime Minister was not afraid to use such terms in their joint press conference yesterday, Obama came up with the word, "nihilism."  I found it, so no need to Google it: 

American Heritage Dictionary:

ni·hil·ism

(nī'ə-lĭz'əm, nē'-)
n.

1. Philosophy.
   1. An extreme form of skepticism that denies all existence.
   2. A doctrine holding that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated.
2. Rejection of all distinctions in moral or religious value and a willingness to repudiate all previous theories of morality or religious belief.
3. The belief that destruction of existing political or social institutions is necessary for future improvement.
4. also Nihilism A diffuse, revolutionary movement of mid 19th-century Russia that scorned authority and tradition and believed in reason, materialism, and radical change in society and government through terrorism and assassination.
5. Psychiatry. A delusion, experienced in some mental disorders, that the world or one's mind, body, or self does not exist.

I'm sorry, but I do not see anything here that remotely resembles a bunch of radical terrorists running around beheading people, throwing them off of buildings, bombing them, slicing their guts open... all in the name of Islam. 

He's afraid that if he labels it for what it is, we won't trust the good Muslims?  Well, he's correct; I do not trust any Muslim.  Why not?  Because the "good" Muslims are not standing up and identifying themselves and, good or bad, they're all going to the same mosques.   

Hussein can call it what he wants.  The plain matter of fact is that he, himself, is the epitome of (5) in the definition above; he thinks he's invisible.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
