A Complete Repudiation of the Left

In the next two years or so we will see a lot written about this election. Much of it will be written about Hillary with people in her campaign writing tell-alls and Robbie Mook and Jennifer Palmieri writing books to make them look better after a disastrous campaign. They will blame (in no particular order) Comey, Russia, Bernie Sanders, the media, Obama, the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (TM), fake news, voter fraud and a plethora of other BS. What they will not blame is the thing that they can never admit--it was their ideology thrust on the country over the last 8 years that was the real reason they have been shunted to the hinterlands. To admit that would mean to admit their entire paradigm is false and a lie.

During the Obama years we've seen the following:

Obamacare: an ill-conceived scheme that gave government control over 1/6 of the economy and had no chance of succeeding. Instead of working with the GOP, they rammed it down the countries throat to the point we actually had the Speaker of the House say this:





Does anyone outside of DC or NYC actually think that's the right way to handle such critical legislation? No, evidently not. Americans wanted a discussion and Democrats just wanted to pass anything. The GOP did not cast a single vote for the bill and then we watched as the exchanges were botched, we lost our doctors, paid way more for worse coverage and the very people needed to prop it up ran away from it.

The Apology Tour: This was one event liberals really never comprehended. To everyone but the most ideologically left zealots America is unique and special. We are the greatest country on the planet and that's as ingrained in the American psyche as anything. To watch a sitting president bow to every despot and apologize for past actions was just too much to handle. Yes, Obama was re-elected after but there were other factors at work as well including a bad GOP candidate and the fear of being labeled racist. But very few actions by Obama were as detested as his groveling on the world stage. America doesn't do that. Liberals believe very deeply that American actions over the last 50 years have been bad for the world versus good. They do not believe in American exceptionalism but believe the exact opposite.

Race Relations: Liberals at their very core believe America to be racist. It's not even a question to them. From the very beginning of his first term Obama made it clear that he was African-American first and American second. It started with the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry gates--an African-American who couldn't get the door to his house open and when he appeared to be breaking in, police were called. The responding officer allegedly had an altercation and the professor was arrested on disorderly conduct charges. Without all the facts, Obama jumped into the fray:

"I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that. But I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home, and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately." 

His commenting on the event was a clear sign that racial healing was not going to be a strong part of his administration. It just expanded from there eventually hitting a tipping point with Ferguson and the false claim of "hands up, don't shoot". The fact that the words were never spoken was immaterial, it was a rallying cry. The hoax was perpetrated by CNN and others:

Suddenly, all white Americans who did not believe the story or ever questioned it's veracity were labeled racist. A moment known as Black Lives Matter eventually rose out of the incident. Separate event happened in NYC and Baltimore and the media dutifully reported that it was white cops killing unarmed black men when in some cases it was a black cop and the suspect had a weapon. Americans who followed the events were essentially silenced from speaking the truth.  It became clear that white Americans were being excluded from the events in their country. They were scorned by the media and left to wonder whether or not they actually are racist. The fact that they work, socialize and are friends with black and Hispanic people was beside the point.

The Culture Wars: Americans in the aggregate have ceded the culture wars to the left. Gay unions became acceptable, abortion is not nearly the issue it once was except to strong supporters on either side and other issues that conservative fought against for decades became normalized. But liberals couldn't just accept victory and had to keep pushing. It all came to a head when they demanded that bathroom being open to all based on what they identified themselves as that day. When sane people pointed out that this is a major safety concern to us they screamed us down as bigots and homophobes.

Immigration: Americans have had enough of unchecked immigration. The left kept pushing for more and more rights for those who have none in this country. The right to vote, sanctuary cities where those who were already criminals were protected from the federal government and the high instances of crime perpetrated by illegals was too much. Kate Steinle being murdered by an illegal who had been arrested before and should never had even been in the country was enough. When we debated the point we were labeled xenophobic or racist. When we pointed out that ISIS or al-Qaeda can easily traverse the border, we were called Islamophobic and we should just shut the hell up.

Terrorism: This was an enormous part of the equation that ultimately led to Hillary losing and the rise of Trump. The Fort Hood jihadi attack was labeled "workplace violence". A car bomb in NYC, the Boston Marathon bombing and numerous other instances of blatant Islamic terrorism were labeled as "shootings" or "bombings" but never labeled as terrorism. And worse yet, every time an attack occurred, the media and liberals all hoped it was a white man killing minorities but once it became clear it was jihadism, they immediately called for calm and urged that not all Muslims be blamed. The exact opposite happened when a truly deranged white kid attacked a black church and it was blamed on every white person in America. San Bernardino, Orlando and Dallas were treated as normal crimes, not terrorism. When those of us said that this is a concern and something needs to be done, we were scoffed at and called Islamophobes.

Global Warming: This is a bigger repudiation of leftist ideology than anything else. Since the 1990's, the media and left have been pushing global warming as a major issue. Hell, as recently as last June John Kerry labeled it a more dangerous concern than terrorism. Whenever those of us who are skeptical want to debate it we get slammed with the popular "it's settled science" or the erroneous "97% of scientists agree..." bullshit. If you want to spend billions of dollars on a "problem" we at least want the problem identified and the actions expected to be taken.

These things singularly are not that big. These things taken in their entirety is the reason we now have President-Elect Trump. Large sectors of this country have been shoved aside and left out of the American Dream. Obamacare forced their hours from full-time to part-time. Trade agreements have left them jobless when the factories closed. An entire industry that was provided work for generations  was wiped out in the war on coal. The standard of living for millions was reduced and for the first time people had less hope their children would do better than they did. When these very people spoke out and asked why they were ridiculed and called every "ist" in the liberal lexicon.

The entire leftist ideology was put on trial in this election and it lost. Not by much as the country was essentially split but things that liberal hold very dear were repudiated on November 8. They will either do some soul-searching and realize that they have no appeal to half the nation or they will continue with their usual arrogant, elitist attitudes and lose again. I'm betting on the latter.

Monday Night News & Notes

The Eagles have a do or die game tonight against the Packers who are in a similar situation. Time for Wentz to come up big at home against a quality QB.

Here's what else is going on:

-It appears Soros picked a complete fucking idiot to mount his recount effort:

Jill Stein has everything she needs to launch a presidential recount. She's got the cash, the grassroots fervor and the spotlight of an adoring media. But there's one thing she needs to overturn Trump's victory: a calendar.Stein missed Pennsylvania's deadline to file for a voter-initiated recount. That blown deadline is a huge blow for Democrats who have pinned their hopes on recounts in the Keystone State, Michigan and Wisconsin. 

-When the hope and change president who ran as anti-war starts more wars than any other in recent history. I imagine the Nobel people will be asking for their peace prize back any day now.

-The Democrats are in disarray and still don't know it.

-Can we now just get rid of Andrea Mitchell? She's about two election cycles past her shelf life.

-The strategy of not calling a terror attack a terror attack don't really seem to be working well.

-CNN goes full CNN and gets their panties all bunched up because Trump is trying to use the death of Castro to bring more freedom to everyday Cubans. CNN would rather leave the people in the horrid situation they currently find themselves. Here's the headline:

Trump threatens to roll back US-Cuba relations

We were at a state of quasi war and Obama gave them concessions without receiving any. They continue to act as thugs and still allow a cop killer to live there. Roll back to what exactly? 

Vile Liberals Rush to Judgement After OSU Terror Attack

It's now way past being a trend, it is strictly embedded in their DNA. Every single time there is a terror attack--be it San Bernardino or Orlando--liberals instantly take to social media and rail against what they believe to be lax gun laws in the US. 99% of the time they are completely wrong. They pray that it is a right wing psycho who is a member of the NRA, KKK and the alt-right who killed because the victims were gay/minority/woman/transgender. But it never works out that way.

Take Orlando as a great example, the killer was a Muslim who pledged allegiance to ISIS and killed them because they were gay. San Bernardino was the same thing, it was a Muslim who waged his own personal jihad at the expense of numerous people. Even the murders in the church in South Carolina were perpetrated by a psychotic neo-Nazi who was not a mainstream Republican but a mentally disabled psycho.

Today, the first reports were of a mass shooting in Ohio. The disgusting Shannon Watts immediately took to Twitter to denounce the senseless gun violence and blame gun owners:

There was no evidence but a report of a generic mass shooting, which is what the university probably calls any event of violence. Instead of waiting, she immediately looked to further her agenda. She took the infamous Rahm Emanuel line "never let a good crisis go to waste" and ran with it.

She was quickly proven very wrong since the "shooter" did not have a gun but did indeed have a car and a big knife, which used to try to kill. Sadly for Shannon, it was a man with a gun who ended the affair by putting a bullet into the wannabe killer and ending the event before it could become a slaughter.

And what about the former VP candidate Tim Kaine? He jumped right in with both feet and had to walk it back:

 Both of these people didn't care about waiting and they didn't care about the victims, they cared about their agenda. They didn't wait for the full story because they wanted it to be true so badly it was uncontrollable to them. To this point I cannot find Watts saying anything to the contrary because she blocked me years ago.

It's at the point now that they just throw anything out and hope it sticks. While most people care about the victims and hope they survive, Watts and her ilk hope that they die and especially they die from a gun. She was probably disappointed there was no gun involved (and doubly so that one ended it) and is probably puking that this was a jihadi terror attack perpetrated by a Muslim man who immigrated to the US in 2014.

This is where the Democratic party is currently and it's abhorrent. This is why they lost to Trump, this is why they are so blinded by their sense of righteousness that they come off as unfeeling lunatics. They will never let any facts get in the way because they try to set the agenda before the facts are out. They further try to shape the story to fit their needs.

This is why they have been cast into the wasteland and are the objects of ridicule and scorn. By waiting one hour they could've saved themselves the indignity of looking like the worst kind of zealot.

One final note: this is the exact type of attack our enemies want. Disaffected young adherents who are easily swayed to commit murder. They don't need guns and they don't need explosives. We saw this in Nice and the UK and now it's here in the US. While Watts and Kaine beclown themselves, it's time for the adults to stand up and start finding solutions.

Out With The Old & In With The New...Thank God

2015 was a strange year in the world.

Looking back, some weird shit happened:

• A former Olympic gold medal decathlete identified as a woman, got a show for doing so, acknowledged that he was also a republican, said he wants to adopt a baby and then got into a verbal war with another self-identified tranny who gave away some of the most damaging secrets ever disclosed. Essentially; two dudes fighting over who is more woman. Amazingly, one was named Woman of the Year for his "bravery". This, of course, left out true women heroes such as Kurdish women fighting for their homeland, a young Pashtun woman who was shot in the head for advocating education for other women continuing her fight and numerous other woman in countless other hellholes fighting for the right to breathe and not the right to chose their gender. 
• The whitest woman in America was exposed by her parents as, well, the whitest woman in America. This was problematic for her because she was a leader in the NAACP and a teacher of African Studies at a college. Liberals lined up to take the side of the white woman against black people who were offended of having their racial identity stolen for financial gain. 
• A former spokesman for a major fast food chain was found to be a pedophile and sentenced to prison. Jared Fogel was intertwined with Subway for a decade and somehow, they didn't suffer when their public face was convicted of sex crimes with children. 
• Bill Cosby was identified as a serial rapist and was subsequently arrested for sexual assault. Rarely has a public figure gone from being so beloved to being rejected so fast. 
• Another major terror attack occurred on US soil and was actually called a terror attack despite the best efforts of the media. While Fort Hood and others were definitive terror attacks--called "work place violence" by Obamatons-- it was much harder to mislabel an attack on a mall that the media followed intensely. We also saw the President of the US make a speech (standing up) from the Oval Office in which he pretended to take action but instead said nothing new. 
• Terrorism also remained a major issue around the world with an attack in Paris that led to millions of people overlaying their Facebook avi with the French flag in solidarity. Alas, not so many did it when America was attacked but I digress. So 2015 became the year that the French looked stronger and more decisive on the world stage than did America.
• The void left by American leadership led to Russia becoming a super power wannabe again. Hard core Americans actually wished we had a leader who led as well as a former Soviet KGB member. 
• Obama and John Kerry pushed a disastrous treaty that will allow Iran to have nukes in a little more than a decade, released $150 billion to them to continue their proxy wars and was backed up by threats and snooping on allies...
• Well, former allies. 2015 was the year that Obama went to war against Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel. He demeaned the leader, sent operatives to agitate against him in an election and essentially shunned them from in front of the world all so he could say he made a deal with Iran and cement his "legacy". 
• 2015 was the year of "trigger warnings", "safe spaces" and the year America learned exactly what we've produced by handing out participation trophies. We now have a country full of gender studies majors getting offended by "micro aggressions" and historic flags and a nation and media that played along further enabling them. 
• 2015 will be remembered as the year that political correctness jumped the shark. Being called a racist, xenophobic, homophobic, war mongering, hater became a badge of honor. Men and women who were sick of the breakdown in the US decided to stand up and start taking it back. They did so with humor and sarcasm because straight discourse is dead (or on life support). By belittling every new case we saw and laughing and pointing at the perpetrators, we've seen the pendulum start to swing back. 
• Which brings me to this: The leader for the Democratic party is the wife of a man accused of rape and sexual assault who had sex with his (much) subordinate intern and she is running on a platform of feminism. She broke myriad laws by mishandling secret information that would have landed the average person in a federal prison for years. Her opponent is a self-declared socialist whom has not the slightest clue about the economy but promises the world to the aforementioned participation trophy winning students. He also has some extreme, non-feminist views on women. So, we currently have two old white people on the Democratic ticket and they're both carrying heavy baggage. 
• And finally, 2015 was the year of Trump. He resonates with people no matter how inelegantly he says things--which is probably increasing the resonance. The man is vicious and immediate when attacked. Within minutes of being called out, he goes on the offensive and does not sugar coat what he says. The media try to take him down and he ridicules them. His own party leadership try to attack him and he goes right back at them ten-fold. The man wields the hashtag like it's a sword. Others rise and fall while Trump remains at the top. Any baggage on him has likely been printed already and he's flummoxed both parties. People may not agree on everything or even most of what he says but they will vote for him when the time comes. If it's him versus Hillary, he will win. He's not afraid to get down in the gutter Clintonistas live in and , in fact, seems comfortable going there. 

Well, that's a recap of 2015. I'm guessing 2016 will hold just as much and to a person who follows politics, we can only hope that to be the case.

Can We Call It Terrorism Now?

Let's see; gunmen attack civilians in an area where they congregate with the intent to kill as many as possible, they arm themselves to the teeth for the task and wear tactical gear for access to said weapons. They murder many and are then taken down by the police force. They do all this in the name of Islam. Is that terrorism?

It sure as hell was two weeks ago in France. The French didn't try to pass it off as anything except for what it was--radical Islamic jihad.

So why are Obama, the media and the entire Democratic party (but I'm redundant) trying to make this what it isn't? This is not workplace violence or a disgruntled worker, this is 100% terrorism as perpetrated by al-Qaeda and ISIS throughout the world.

They are doing this because to acknowledge it as an act of terror would force Obama to act and he doesn't want to act against ISIS, al-Qaeda or any other Muslim group. To be fair, he doesn't want to act against anyone who wishes America harm since many who are of the same mind believe we deserve this. Our past indiscretions around the globe are--in the eloquent words of Obama's pastor-- "coming home to roost".

This is the new face of Islamic terror. It's no longer big events like toppling the World Trade Center; it's small groups with a little funding, some bomb making skills and the will to meet their 72 virgins (or whatever the hell is promised to the women involved). ISIS didn't plan this but ISIS provoked it through constant encouragement on social media. This is the new face of terror and it's just a click away.

From all evidence available, the gunmen was a devout Muslim and a guy who was normal. His coworkers gave him a baby shower and he was evidently well liked. But he visited Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and took a wife who seemed to believe in the cause of jihad. He became radicalized, grew his beard, amassed weapons and ammo, made IED's and killed 14 people without blinking. He was born in the US, raised in the US but he decided to do his part to help the caliphate and did so under the radar. He was in contact with known terrorists and we missed his interactions.

As for the media making this out as a work dispute; please spare me. He went into the party and cased the place. He saw nothing but a soft target and went out, donned his tactical gear, rammed a clip home and he and his bride started killing indiscriminately. Of course he left in a huff, he was planning on coming back in and taking the life of all present if possible. He may have hated some people he worked with--we all have work disputes--but usually that is taken care of one on one. Not in this case, he tried to kill everyone because he was a terrorist, not because some dude had a better parking spot or because of a promotion he didn't get.

But alas, you'll hear the media play up that angle because they are protecting Obama and according to him and his people there's been no terrorist attacks since he's been in office. The Boston Marathon bombing, Fort Hood and now this were just wackos with too easy access to weapons. The fact that they are all Muslims is just a side note and highly coincidental.

So we don't respond, they continue to attack and more die. That is the legacy of eight years of Obama. The War on Terror is back on our shores and we refuse to acknowledge it's in our own front yard.

Monday Evening News & Notes

I finally got back to writing after a year. 140 characters on Twitter and irritating half my friends on Facebook just didn't have the same effect as possibly pissing off a whole bunch of whiny liberals. I've missed a lot of fun shit since I went on hiatus, from the absorb to the sublime, it's been a crazy year. In no particular order, I missed these events or people that were the lifeblood of a blogger:

• Trump
• Sally Kohn saying something stupid
• Obama on, well...just about everything
• Paul Krugman being Paul Krugman
• John Boehner being his idiot self then bailing out suddenly
• Joe Biden being Biden. That dude is insane
• Seth Rogan being not just a bad actor but an embarrassment to comedy
• Lindsey Graham actually convincing himself to run for POTUS. 
• Scott Walker actually convincing himself to quit
• Putin eating Obama's lunch, smacking the hell out his dog and pretty much running around Europe and the Mideast because, as Obama called it "a position of weakness". Yeah, that one was comical. 
• Sally Kohn saying something stupid
• Charlie Hebdo and the media's reaction to their own being murdered be Islamofascists
• The media just being the media. They were more biased this year than in any single year I can remember and I follow this shit religiously
• The left agreeing with the Pope and thinking he was on their side
• The Pope meeting with a woman who the left absolutely hates after they parsed the Pope
• Planned Parenthood and selling baby parts for profit
• On and on and on. 

It's great to be back. 

I Say We Oblige Nidal hassan

Nidal Hassan is a coward. He armed himself and shot numerous fellow soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas. They were not armed and he knew it would be easy pickings. In short, it was an act of terror even though Obama and his cronies dubbed it "work place violence". Workplace violence to me is when someone doesn't get a promotion or gets fired and loses it because of that. Terrorism is when a pig like Hassan screams "Allahu akhbar" and intentionally kills US soldiers.

So now Hassan wants to be a citizen of ISIS. I say we oblige him. Follow me here. I say we wait until we can locate and terminate ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and spread the rumor that we located him through a contact set up by Hassan. We say Hassan turned and was working with us surreptitiously and his contacts allowed us to find the ISIS main man and eliminate him. Then we set Hassan free in northern Iraq and let them welcome him to the caliphate.

Now that is one beheading video I'd watch in its entirety.

Have We Entered a New Phase in the War on Terror

Are we seeing a new pattern here? We've seen numerous attacks now from "homegrown" Islamic terrorists. From the Lackawanna Six to Nidal Hassan and the Fort hood shooting that left 12 dead, is this the next battle in the overall war? The Boston attack is just more proof of that.

This is truly war that we are not prepared for. How does a nation defend itself against it's own citizens turning on it? Our freedoms become detrimental in the investigation and detention of these men--and they are all men--who believe in the forced adherence to their beliefs over the idea of America. They abhor our freedoms but like the freedom to be left alone and plot. They work the system and collect what they need to take out innocents.

Sadly, it doesn't require all that much anymore as we saw last week and in the Mumbai attacks (although Pakistan had a hand in that, my point is still valid). A dedicated group of a dozen men or fewer can bring a city to its knees. Imagine if five groups of two did what the Tsarnaev's did last week in LA, NYC, Philly, DC and Miami in parallel. What would be the defense? What if the next tactic is suicide bombers walking into theaters and subway stations?

A good deal of why this is happening now is the lack of human intelligence that's gained by capturing enemy combatants. The Obama strategy is war by drone where we never see the enemy except through the lens of a camera. There's two downsides to this: first we end up with collateral damage thus losing hearts and minds. Second, we cannot arrest those who we are targeting if they are in pieces on the side of the road thanks to a drone-launched missile. What they know and what they would have given up is vaporized.

Getting back to my question; are we in entering the next phase in this war? My opinion is yes. The ease with which two young men who've lived here for a decade could fashion crude bombs and amass other weapons while going undetected (or in the case of Tamarlan detected but cleared) is frightening. The ease with which they forced an entire major city to close down must have other Islamic terror groups salivating. I never feared that terrorism would take place at major sporting events because in the aftermath of 9/11 we increased security and battened down the hatches. I do now because we are in Obamanation and he and his acolytes are too afraid of looking like racist's to actually do what needs to be done.

Stop allowing students from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Chechnya, Yemen, Egypt and other predominantly Muslim nations in without sufficient background checks. If they are here and associate with known radical elements, deport them. If they leave the US, ask foreign governments to keep tabs on them and find out who they associated with. Look at who they associate with in the US and see what they are doing. If they aren't citizens, they don't deserve the rights of citizens. The first job of the government is to protect its citizens and that's not happening if we continue the way we are now. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.

So What Did We Learn Last Week?

A bizarre and tragic week to say the least.

On Monday around late afternoon, word started getting out about an explosion at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. At first--just like on 9/11 when people thought it was a commuter plane that hit the towers--we thought it must be a small event or a gas explosion. Even when confronted with those first, now notorious pictures we hesitated to believe just how bad it was. Then the casualty estimates came out and we were told that deaths were possible.

It's been quite a while since we saw a mass terror incident. The last was the Fort Hood shooting and the media didn't nearly cover that enough and the government downplayed it because there was no video and they could. But not this attack. this happened in real time and they had no option but to deploy their armies of reporters.

Quite quickly but sadly, not as quickly as I'd assumed, the jackals in the media started speculating who could have perpetrated this attack on us. They secretly--and sometimes not so secretly--hoped it was a white Tea Party member pissed off on tax day. Hell, the president's former chief advisor; the slimy David Axelrod alluded to that in the open. Douchebag David Sirota openly hoped it was a "white American". So we learned that American liberals don't give a damn about terror unless it's perpetrated by white conservative men.

We learned that Boston is one tough city and one to be admired. They handled the quick-moving events with heart and determination. I know of no other large city that would have been shut down as easily as Bean Town was. They grieved when the names of the three dead were released and they rejoiced when the terrorist's were finally killed and apprehended.

We learned that we can mobilize some serious force when need be. From the Boston and Watertown Police to the FBI, they got along and worked to a common goal of catching the jihadi's.

We learned that with all the information available to us, the big media sucks at covering huge breaking events. Instead of being right, being first was more important and we learned that putting out false information can be quite damaging. On the flip side, the blogosphere did better and questioned events instead of inanely reporting innuendo. Sure, we were wrong on occasion but we correct our mistakes and move on. This MSM idiot got what he deserved.

We learned that liberals not only hate America but that some will actively take the side of those who murdered an 8-year old boy and then play the victim card when called on it by right-minded people.  BTW, fuck you Amanda Palmer. I have no idea who you are but hate you with every fiber of my being.

But most importantly we learned that the War on Terror is not nearly over. Last week it was Muslim Chechens, today it was the arrest in Canada of more who looked to attack Canadians and Americans. BTW, they were linked to an al-Qaeda element in Iran (but, but , but Shiite's and Sunni's never work together...yes they do now STFU). Yes, they still hate us and wish us dead. How anyone can say that a supposedly religious man can place a bomb directly near a child and allow it to detonate deserves any sympathy is way beyond me. I won't even discuss how Obama's policies are causing us to lose hard won ground in the battle.

The Tsarnaev's are no different than Mohammed Atta, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed or Osama bin-Laden; they are fighting to spread Islam and dominate the world. We are the ones who are the strongest and stand in their way. It's simple if one were to read the writings in the Koran. this is just the latest battle in a war that will last generations unless we in the west get our collective heads out of our asses and realize that we are in a battle to save morality and humanity.

These people don't care if they kill a child, a woman, a Black man, an Hispanic female or an Asian transsexual. We mean nothing and are nothing but infidels who deserve death. No CAIR, I don't believe your rhetoric. Not all Muslims are terrorists but it seems quite evident that most acts of terror are perpetrated by people who pray toward Mecca five times daily.

Let's hope we take all the things we learned to heart grow through our mistakes.  Unfortunately, that will not happen because we will have to deal with the media and their bullshit stories describing what a tough existence it was for the Tsarnaev's in America or we have to be more understanding. The thing is, I am understanding; I understand that men who frequent a mosque will place an explosive where it is sure to maximize the death toll. I understand that regardless of the opportunities we present to such people, they will still hate us. I understand that even after bestowing money and acceptance into a great school on people who had fled a war torn land, they will still murder us in cold blood.

I believe my understanding meter is pegged at eleven.

See What You Have Wrought, Liberals?

To my liberal brothers and sisters:

We warned you that voting for a man with no experience because it felt good was a horrible idea. Hillary Clinton warned you that some react to the 3 AM phone call and questioned whether her opponent had the abilities needed to answer it and dictate and strategy. John McCain told us the consequences of electing a shady Chicago "community organizer" would result in chaos around the world. But many didn't listen and as one of Obama's spiritual leaders once noted "the chickens have come home to roost".  You called all of us racist and refused to stop screaming "yes we can" long enough to see how factual our statements were.

Obama's self-belief that he had the intellectual power to calm the Mid-East have been laid to waste. When the opportunity arose to assist in protecting a long-standing, mostly secular yet brutal dictator in Egypt arose, we said that to allow this man to be ousted would result in the rise of radical Islam in a crucial nation in the region. We knew that a liberalized Egypt was the only way to counter Islamofascism and the void left would be filled by the Muslim Brotherhood and local salafist's who want a pan-Muslim mega-state reaching from Morocco to Pakistan and further.

We said to do nothing but dither while a nascent rebellion began to rise in the deeply radical and destabilizing nation of Iran would result in a perception of weakness from the Muslim world you said nothing and supported your clearly unprepared president.

We said that launching another war in a country that already had a history of attacking the US but was led by another tyrant who was coming around to the concept of American power, you cheered your hero on and did not think about the long-term consequences for the US. You did however play up the conflict for short-term political game because the only thing that matters to you is to be in power and hold influence and the purse strings.

So here we sit watching our embassies attacked, our ambassador savagely murdered and the US flag burned. This is the consequences of your votes. Radical Islam is counter to everything you hold dear: gay rights, women's rights, abortion, secularism and yet, you support a man who has set the rights of millions of people back a century or more.

And please stop with the silly notion that this was all because of a poorly-edited You Tube video. You just sound inane. This was a well-planned and orchestrated attack on sovereign US territory that was carefully planned to occur on the day that many Muslims hold dear, the day they inflicted 3,000 deaths on the US. Does one actually want to argue that people who raise their children this way need any provocation other than our mere existence?

Also, just stop with the Romney bashing because your savior dropped the ball and his people instituted policies that would not allow Marines to carry loaded weapons in a deeply hostile nation. 

Please stop blaming former President Bush for this because I recall that on January 20, 2009 Egypt was stable and Gadaffi was trying to mend his errant ways in Libya. Both nations are now wastelands with numerous sects fighting to see who can be more radical and more anti-American.

No liberals, you elected a man who was easily the most unprepared for the task he won. He threw our money to his cronies, rammed through a horrible health care bill, alienated the one true ally we have in the region and actually believed that he was so gifted as a person and orator that he could meet with Ahmedinejad without pre-conditions and get him to reconsider his position. You elected a man who shirks any responsibility for anything remotely unpopular while blaming his predecessor as often as possible.

We told you that being the president of the greatest nation on Earth was difficult. It's not just meeting with Beyonce and Jay-Z but meeting with Netanyahu and Karzai and explaining the American position in straight-forward terms. We told you that security relied on intelligence and ones ability to act on it to protect our citizens. You scoffed at the notion that Obama could handle it and continue to do so even though actionable intelligence appears to have been discovered. 

No, leadership is not fundraising, making deals on the golf course and meeting Olympians. Leadership is standing out front and--using either the stick or the carrot--moving the nation and the world into the next era. Obama has never led anyone to do anything of consequence that bettered US interests and has in fact done many that have harmed them. 

I felt that another four years of Obama would cripple us both socially and economically but after this last week, I'm not really sure we can survive another four months until inauguration day. 

Arab Spring Emboldens Islamic Terrorists

Obama and Hillary Clinton praised the Arab Spring where we saw Hosni Mubarak ousted and the Muslim Brotherhood rise to power. Add to that the US-led ousting of Qadaffi and the continued instigation of Iran and you have a toxic mix for the region not seen since 1973 when Egyptian leader Abdel-Gamal Nasser rallied the Islamic states to attack Israel as a united front.

Earlier this week, a Swedish-born, ex-Guantanamo detainee attacked Israeli's in Bulgaria and killed 7 of them on a sight-seeing tour. A man who was caught by our troops in Tora-Bora in the early stages of the War on Terror and sent to Gitmo was responsible.

Mehdi-Muhammad Ghezali was a man who was not poor and raised in a Palestinian slum. Instead he was a Swede who grew up with all the comforts a socialistic society could give him. Instead he went to Afghanistan to wage jihad and was sent to Gitmo for it. Unfortunately Swedish leftists fought for his release and even flew him back to the Nordic nation on their own government-owned jet. 


Ghezali wasn't happy being just an average swede going to work and living a comfortable life. Instead he made the conscious decision to continue his jihad and the result was the death of more Israeli's who wished for nothing more than to enjoy the warm Bulgarian summer. Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu pinned the blame squarely on Iran.


So how does this fit with the new world order where an organization founded by arch-terrorist Ayman al-Zawahiri is considered a responsible part of the world community? The Muslim Brotherhood is Islamist to the bone and will open up Egypt to every terrorist group that has the money to bribe their way in. With huge swaths of desert to train in, Israeli's will never be safe and by extension, neither will the world. 


The new Egyptian junta has already secured an audience with Obama ensuring their legitimacy while meeting with terrorist group Hamas and hailed a "new era" with the organization that has but one goal; the eradication of Israel and all it's citizens. 


Add to this the potential exile of Bashar Assad and you will have a cauldron of Islamo-fascism not seen in decades. Radical Islamist's will be highly emboldened and can fight their war from behind safe borders where they will never be touched. America will not have the will or leadership under the current administration to take the battle to them and Obama will never risk alienating any leader. Said leaders will never allow themselves to be seen as an American puppet and will allow organized terror to thrive and export their power while maintaining plausible deniability. 


We are in the midst of one of those periods that history will note as crucial to world stability. Pakistan, Iran, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia and Syria will unite. Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and Afghanistan will have a hard slog maintaining neutrality as their radical elements will rise up and we could easily face a very determined Arab world with an initial goal of eliminating Israel and the ultimate goal of bringing the US to our knees. 


Strong leadership is needed right now and to sit back and allow the poison seed of Islamic revolt to grow and bloom will ensure 50 years of bloodshed and war.  

War on Terror 2.0

In the aftermath of 9/11, President Bush made several crucial moves to revive an intelligent apparatus that was gutted during the 1990's. He increased training and funding for paramilitary units within the CIA and bulked up our human intelligence (humint) gathering by putting boots on the ground. When Taliban or al-Qaeda fighters were apprehended on the battle field or in raids, trained interrogators were in place to glean as much as intelligence as possible in a short period of time.

Some of this intelligence gathering was restricted by liberals in Congress who screamed torture at every paper cut inflicted on suspected (or known) terrorists. But the overall effort led to numerous arrests and took some big fish out of play before we could be struck again.

Fast-forward to the present and let's examine our intel gathering regimen now. While we are gaining some intel in Afghanistan, the conflict has settled into a stalemate where neither side seems to be gaining any advantage. The American public has soured and we are stretching our military well past the appropriate limits. Our intelligence gathering has suffered as we've changed our tactics. Instead of humint, we are relying more on electronic intelligence gathering or "chatter". While we are very good at this type of collection, we lack the available personnel to decipher the millions of conversations and other electronic communications.

Yes, we did track down bin-Laden but my opinion is that it had more to do with information obtained using humint collection techniques that were residual from the Bush years.

Now we are in a stand-off mode in this global war. Instead of capturing AQ leaders, we are exterminating them with pilotless drones. Yes, we take them out. No, we gain no intelligence from them when they are blown into fifty pieces. This may have far-reaching ramifications as AQ and the hundreds of other offshoots have gotten smarter from a communications perspective. Without humint, we will lose much of the advantage we once gained and good men like Mike Spann died for.

So why are we changing our tactics? because liberals have a visceral hatred for intelligence gathering by organizations such as the CIA, FBI and NSA. It goes back to the 60's when the FBI infiltrated home-grown terror groups and the CIA pulled numerous covert ops in Latin America and Africa. many of these operations should never have been revealed but that's a post for another day.

Liberals live in a dream world where nations can be negotiated with and all problems can be solved by the UN. Except the world has changed dramatically since President Obama was inaugurated. Instead of despotic but reliably stable regimes in Egypt and Libya we have radical Islamist's like the Muslim Brotherhood ascending to power. Instead of covert training camps, we now have huge nations that can sponsor terror and still conceal their participation. The rules have changed and we are in no position to adapt. Without human intelligence and people on the ground, we are weaker than we've been in 12 years.

Just a Reminder; Muslim Terrorists Still Want Us Dead

We've all grown accustomed to terror incidents by Muslim's being white-washed and the LA Times is right up there with the worst of them when reporting them.

I give you Richard Serrano:

An immigrant from Morocco armed with an automatic weapon and wearing what he thought was a suicide vest packed with explosives was arrested near the U.S. Capitol building in Washington by FBI agents who had been closely monitoring him in an undercover sting operation, officials announced Friday.

Amine El Khalifi, 29, who allegedly had overstayed his visa after first arriving in the U.S. when he was 16, was charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction against government property. He faces a sentence of life in prison if convicted.

Although it doesn't explicitly say so, I'm sure this guy was not a Methodist.

Overstayed his visa, Mr. Serrano? Overstaying your visa is leaving a few days late. 13 years is most-definitely not "overstaying", it's a felony and he should have been deported years ago.

The thought of suicide vests being used in the US is frightening and would be a major escalation that we are ill prepared for.

Major props to the FBI for sniffing this out and eliminating the threat, our intelligence services and FBI deserve to get beat up on occasion but when they do well it should also be noted. This Moroccan meant business:

According to Neil MacBride, the U.S. attorney in Alexandria, El Khalifi believed he was working for the Al Qaeda terror network when in fact it was FBI agents who had been closely monitoring him for over a year as part of the Washington field office’s joint terrorism task force.

Nevertheless, MacBride said, El Khalifi "devised the plot, the targets and the methods on his own."

His plan was to shoot his way into the Capitol building and then detonate the bomb, according to officials. He reportedly told undercover agents that he "would be happy killing 30 people."

I'll be more than happy if we kill just one particular Moroccan but I digress.

So I'm guessing this guy would have just shot and then detonated without regard to what side of the aisle our elected representatives were on. Maybe the liberals in the House and Senate will take a few minutes to ponder that and stop standing in the way when smarter people are trying to protect them and us.

And for the enlightenment of Mr. Serrano, he would be just as happy to kill you as would all Muslim terrorist's. He planned on hitting synagogues and restaurants before settling on the Capitol. And for the record, El Khalifi prayed at a Mosque the day of the foiled attack, Mr. Serrano.

Wasn't Obama Supposed to Make the World Like Us Again?

You may remember back in this heady days of 2008 when the light bringer Obama promised us that once we elevated him to the highest office in the land he would automatically make the rest of the world our friends. He would accomplish this with his sheer force of will and high level intellectualism if I remember things correctly.

Since a little over half the voters screwed the rest of us and did indeed elect him, we've gone from okay to horrible. The only thing he's gotten Europeans to agree with him on is their joint hatred of Israel and bombing a second world Libya back into the 3rd world.

Now here we are with some German idiot in jail after committing $3-million worth of arson with a view of America that does not seem to be what The One intended:

The man who terrorized L.A. for three nights with a series of 53 arson fires turned out to be a 24-year-old from Germany identified as Harry Burkhart, at least according to authorities.

"I hate America" were the words he reportedly uttered after he was pulled out of his car during a traffic stop at Sunset Boulevard near Fairfax Avenue shortly after 3 this morning following another outbreak of fires in nearby West Hollywood.

Burkhart was booked into jail at 1:48 p.m. and held in lieu of $250,000, according to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department's inmate information database.

So we have what amounts to terrorism anywhere else in the world happening in our second largest city and by the perpetrators own words we know it's due to hatred of the US.

Well, I guess old Harry was just just getting us before we screwed over Germany like we did Poland and the Czechs in what amounted to appeasement to the Russians.

The World Should Be Thanking Israel, Not Condemning

Once again, the Israeli's took things into their own hands. They take the biblical quote "an eye for an eye" literally and must do so for their survival. And once again, the world acts outraged. If this had been done by a Palestinian and he assassinated and Israeli, you'd be hearing much, much less.

The outrage today comes from Britain and Ireland whose forged passports the Mossad agents used. This is a daily occurrence in the covert ops business and every nation is guilty of it. The Brits are trying to keep Londonistan from going insane while Ireland doesn't want to be portrayed as conspirators so they have to feign outrage. There's a US angle as well.

But the Israeli's were well within their rights to take out Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai. He admittedly killed two Israeli soldiers and was involved in numerous other plots. He was the Hamas military commander and would certainly have killed more Israeli's in the future. Hell, he probably plotted attempts resembling the one that finally sent him to meet his forty virgins in paradise.

The man was a member of a terrorist organization and the Mossad did what had to be done because the Israeli's understand something that George W. Bush did but Barack Obama is just starting to: terrorist's understand one thing and one thing only and that is personal fear and force. If they believe you can get to them, they will think twice and the Israeli's don't have Miranda Rights. If they could track Mahmoud al-Mabhouh and kill him in a Dubai hotel then no one who commits acts of terror against Israel is safe.

An eye for an eye.

Brit Intel Warns of Surgically Implanted Bombs

The battle against Islamic terrorism just took another turn:

A leading source added that male bombers would have the explosive secreted near their appendix or in their buttocks, while females would have the material placed inside their breasts in the same way as figure-enhancing implants.

Experts said the explosive PETN (Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate) would be placed in a plastic sachet inside the bomber’s body before the wound was stitched up like a normal operation incision and allowed to heal.

A shaped charge of 8oz of PETN can penetrate five inches of armour and would easily blow a large hole in an airliner.

Security sources said the explosives would be detonated by the bomber using a hypodermic syringe to inject TATP (Triacetone Triperoxide) through their skin into the explosives sachet.

I'm not sure if this really possible or just terrorist's trying to scare us even more. US privacy rights will run head on with safety concerns and cause even bigger headaches for TSA and DHS.

Read the article where they mention that the technology is available but the outcry will be enormous from civil liberties groups.

Obama Finally Realizes We Are At War With Islamo-Terrorist's

It's about damn time too as we have credible reports of up to 25 plots and one attempt that would have succeeded but for passengers taking things into their own hands.

Obama had to make a stand and project strength after dithering for the last ten months and calling terrorism anything but. His national security team treated our national security as a joke and that was on full display when Obama's top terrorism--Michael Leiter--guy didn't see the need to cut short his ski vacation after the plot was revealed (Leiter: An attempted plane bomb? Did anyone get killed? Okay, what time do the lifts start running?)

Obama actually said "the buck stops here" and accepted responsibility. He didn't blame Bush and he didn't fire anyone even though the aforementioned Leiter should get canned immediately.

Now that he's acted tough, will he back it up with actions or was it just rhetoric? We'll see.

Here's the AP's take:

30 Terrorist's ent to Hell in Yemen Air Strike

Three big ones in that group including the guy who was pen pals with US Army terrorist Nidal Hasan:

Nasser al-Wahayshi, the Yemeni leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), and his Saudi deputy, Saeed al-Shehri, were believed to be among 30 militants killed in the dawn operation in the eastern province of Shabwa, said the official, who asked not to be identified.

U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki may also have died in the air strike which targeted a meeting of militants planning attacks on Yemeni and foreign oil and economic targets, he said.

If all the deaths are confirmed, the air strike would appear to have struck a severe blow against AQAP, seen as the most dangerous regional offshoot of Osama bin Laden's network.

"Anwar al-Awlaki is suspected to be dead," the official said of the cleric who was on the run in Yemen, where he was on the government's most-wanted list of terrorist suspects.

...The United States cooperates closely with Yemen in combating al Qaeda militancy. Pentagon officials were not immediately available to comment on any U.S. involvement in the raid.

The Yemeni official mentioned only one air strike, which a government website said had taken place at 5 a.m., but Al Arabiya television reported four raids.

Nice. It's good to know that we've retained our working relationship with Yemen and can get at these guys who think they are untouchable. It's also comforting to know that Obama will pull the trigger when we have these guys in our sights.

Ed notes that one of the guys was a guest at Club Gitmo and released under the Bush administration to Saudi Arabia where he was put through a 12-step program to beat jihadaholics. It obviously didn't work and now he's nothing but a million little pieces being mixed with sand and camel dung.

Good work.

Selectively Jumping to Conclusions

The far left site Crooks and Liars jumps to the immediate conclusion that a psycho with lots of guns and lots of explosives is a right-wing anti-government loon. They also add this:

Of course, if this had been a Muslim extremist caught with such an arsenal, we'd be getting talk-show panels on Hannity featuring Michelle Malkin ranting at length about the threat of Islamic jihad, blah blah blah. Not to mention chatty discussion on Fox and Friends and Morning Joe.

But instead, because he's just a white anti-government extremist, hey, let's just give it a big shrug.

Hmmm...white anti-government extremist. Who does that remind me of? Let's see if I can recall. It's becoming clearer...white, anti-government, into explosives...

Oh yeah; the guy who was a mentor of the current president.

Yeah, I recall all the Crooks and Liars pieces condemning Hasan who, you know, actually killed people.

When Terrorism Isn't Terrorism

It's downright Orwellian that the actions of Army officer Nidal Malik Hasan are not called terrorism by any Democrats. The definition of terrorism according to Dictionary.com is as follows:

ter·ror·ism (těr'ə-rĭz'əm)
n. The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

Hasan killed 14 people in cold blood and the daily revelations emerging show that he did it for ideological reasons--the supposed war against his fellow Muslims (and potentially in conjunction with radical elements). That by the definition above is pure and simple terrorism.

Of course, we all know that Obama won't call it terrorism because he would be admitting that we were attacked again after 8-years of George W. Bush stopping another one after 9/11. Obama's essentially putting his hands over his ears and screaming loudly so he can't hear the mean people saying bad things and can right on ignoring what the country knows. He's voting "present"...again.

We are still in a war that all the hopey-changiness will not stop. Many Muslims wish us dead or submissive; a pretty simple concept. Instead of Democrats and Liberals worrying about a backlash that won't happen, perhaps they should do what the country elected them to do and that's protect us from acts of fundamentalist terror from loosely connected Muslim elements.

Instead their policies have neutered us to the point that a guy with the abbreviation for Soldier of Allah actually had it on his Army business card and no one wanted to offend his sensibilities and be un-PC and report this little fact. Lord help us over the next 3+ years; I hopee we make it.
