Not only radical Islam, he specifies, but it’s Islam itself vs. gays.
Slams “social justice warriors” of “the progressive left” as gays’ “worst enemy.”
America is “the greatest country in the world.”
“Western, liberal democratic capitalism” is the best.l
“You are not safe.”
First Amendment underpinned by Second. “Shoot back.”
“Someone comes after you with an assault weapon, have a gun in your pocket.”
Like the fabled Saxon king, who told the waves to recede,
In the spring of 2013 Barack Obama delivered the defining speech of his presidency on the subject of terrorism. Its premise was wrong, as was its thesis, as were its predictions and recommendations. We are now paying the price for this cascade of folly.
“Today, Osama bin Laden is dead, and so are most of his top lieutenants,” the president boasted at the National Defense University, in Washington, D.C. “There have been no large-scale attacks on the United States, and our homeland is more secure.” The “future of terrorism,” he explained, consisted of “less capable” al Qaeda affiliates, “localized threats” against Westerners in faraway places such as Algeria, and homegrown killers like the Boston Marathon bombers.
All of this suggested that it was time to call it quits on what Mr. Obama derided as “a boundless ‘global war on terror.’ ” That meant sharply curtailing drone strikes, completing the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, and closing Guantanamo prison. It meant renewing efforts “to promote peace between Israelis and Palestinians” and seeking “transitions to democracy” in Libya and Egypt. And it meant working with Congress to repeal the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against al Qaeda.
“This war, like all wars, must end,” he said. “That’s what history advises. That’s what our democracy demands.”
King Canute of legend stood on an English shoreline and ordered the tide to recede. President Canute stood before a Beltway audience and ordered the war to end. Neither tide nor war obeyed.
. . . also referred to as his being “cool.” Not always but in certain situations, which Trump neatly identifies:
Mr. Trump remained defiant. “President Obama claims to know our enemy, and yet he continues to prioritize our enemy over our allies, and for that matter, the American people,” Mr. Trump said in an emailed statement on Tuesday. “When I am president, it will always be America first.”
Later Tuesday at a rally in Greensboro N.C., Mr. Trump said, “He was more angry at me than he was at the shooter…That’s the kind of anger he should have for the shooter.”
This is the problem. BO is cool in the wrong places. Drives you nuts.
Which explains their cutting off investigation of Mateen after two interrogations?
Former FBI Agent John Guandolo said the FBI mistakenly closed its investigation because it had no idea how to respond to jihadist threats because the bureau does not teach agents about Islamist doctrine, such as Sharia law, that is used as a guide for terrorist operations and activities.
“This investigation was closed because FBI leadership has systematically refused to look at and teach Sharia to its agents because it is getting its advice on Islam from Muslims who are hostile to us and our system of government,” Guandolo said.
Serious charge, reflecting Obama’s see-no-evil approach to never-named Islamic terrorism.
In the hours after the rampage, President Barack Obama claimed that Mateen’s motives are “unclear,” even though he admitted that the carnage was an “act of terror.”
He moved to blame the national debate on the Second Amendment and possession of firearms by citizens, however, saying “we have to decide if this [an American with guns] is the kind of country we want to be.”
If agents ignore Islamic motivations, they miss a lot. There’s a refusal to connect dots here?
And guns are a favorite with him. (Thank God for the NRA, he says to himself. It’s always there when I need a bad guy.)
So hold yr hats, yet another exercise of cynicism about separation of powers is on its way!
