When a culture advocates an idea that is completely opposite to the idea of your own culture, you are left with a decision: you cannot support each culture. multiculturalism has limits; some ideas are polar opposites and cannot survive together.
When pelosi made her tantrum trip of treasonous diplomacy to Syria, she dolled herself up in Mohammed's finest... in order to be sensitive to the culture of repression and subjugation of women. Apparently she inst the champion of civil rights she claims to be.
Rosa Parks didn't follow the cultural rules of the day, and now she is a hero of the civil rights movement.
But I digress. The reason for my tirade is this picture I found taken from Laura Bush's latest trip to UAE.
My first thoughtwas: "wow she looks kinda like an ignorant american tourist, thats kinda embarrasing. Like a blonde girl in Mexico wearing a giant sombrero or something." But then I realized that she is the First Lady of the US, she clearly has cultural advisors and wardrobe managers to take care of her. And this is NOT Mexico.
She said no, I dont want to condone and support this aspect of your culture, it is offensive to me and I will not participate in it. And she said it all without actually SAYING a word.
you see, actions speak a lot louder than words. I am hearing a lot of WORDS coming from "THE MOST ETHICAL CONGRESS EVER" (stop laughing!! I am serious, that is what pelosi called it!!) but not a lot of action to back it up.

Senora Bush is a class act - whether in Mexico or Qatar. She, like the Pres, knows what is right and will do it regardless of the opinion polls. Mrs. Pelosi, the distinguished Gentleman Reid, and many, many other politicians are too enamored with their own selves to consider the disastrous consequences to what they say.
well, crap. so much for that.

Yea, but at least hers was given to her as a gift. Pelosi used a scarf she bummed off one of her aides.
