This is Terrorism

Until we actually engage the terrorists where they are at and call them what they are and actually acknowledge who it is that is doing it then this will never change.

 

However, there are countries that harbor these people and support them. The funding comes from places like Iran. Shut the finding down.

Close the boarders and stop letting them come in illegally. But the finding for this activity comes from terrorist states. Organizations like CAIR need to be shut down as well. Aljazeera America needs to be run out of town.

Islamists, this religion is a threat to the world. Those who are not in agreement with this majority of the rest of this relgion need to be outspoken and condemn it. But be sure it is not just a minority of Islamists.

 

It is worse than that much of the so called "aid" that goes overseas ends up in terrorist hands.

 

You are so right, Gina. During the Navy yard "hot coverage" times I threw my headset at the tv (we wear wireless ones so the tv audio doesn't have to be loud as we listen to it while doing our errands at home, and I'm a little hard of hearing, too).

That's because I'm tired of hearing these media people focusing on the emotions of two or three people they interview and say the "people" are scared, nervous, afraid, etc., etc., etc.

The fact is the majority of Americans are NOT scared. It is the media and the police and the feds who are suggesting to people that they are scared. I'm not scared, my wife is not scared, my neighbors are not scared, the people on the streets are not scared. If they are, then traffic will be real light.

When 9/11 just happened, the main thinking among the people was "we are NOT going to let "them" run our lives". no. that was not misspelled. it was not mean to be "ruin".

But the media focuses on the negative because it's good for ratings, and it kowtows to what the Great Narcissist wants, an unarmed public, a fearful public, a government-dependent public.

 

Amen, PinoyBaptist. I refuse to be afraid, or let my family and friends live in fear. In fact, most will not, simply because they will not let the media tell them what attitude to have.

Gina, the truth is, we are simply more alert, not losing our freedoms. We may be inconvenienced at the airport, but even there, where we have "lost freedom"? Are we denied the right to fly, to move about freely, to travel outside the country? Even when a travel advisory is issued for certain countries, does the government disallow U.S. citizens to fly there?

The answer to all these questions is "no." Inconvenience is not "lost freedom," is it just inconvenience, and for good reason.

As Bill O'Reilly said the other night on his Talking Points Memo at the beginning of the show, "The truth is that Muslim jihadists want to kill Christians and Jews." Can you deny that? Does it frighten you? Or, like me and most others, does it just piss you off?

O'Reilly's Memo is here, and it is well worth watching: http://nation.foxnews.com/2013/09/24/oreilly-world-failing-confront-true-nature-muslim-terrorism

He tells the truth. We are trying to fight a war while remaining politically correct. Imagine insisting that Germans were still basically "good people" while fighting the war of attrition we have fought against global terrorism? Think it would have worked? Imagine holding back our reaction to Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor because we didn't want to demonize Asian people. Would the history regarding the Pacific Theater of World War II read the same?

We need to do everything we are doing to fight terrorism, and we need to do vastly more. We are criticized by our own people of "inserting ourselves" into Muslim countries, saying we should leave them alone. Leaving them alone is what led to 9/11 in the first place. We need to fight radical Islam no matter where it is, with every tool at hand -- militarily, financially, socially, ideologically -- just as we successfully fought communism for 70 years. We were not politically correct toward the old Soviet apparatchiks, and we should not be politically correct toward the jihadists.

We have an Empty Suit in the White House, a Great Pretender, who doesn't understand leadership, who doesn't understand the force of right tempered with charity, who doesn't understand the very country which allowed him to rise to a major first in our history. Harry Truman was merciless in prosecuting war against Japan. He probably made a decision regarding the atomic bombs that FDR would have refused, despite having spent the development money on the weapons. Then the old Southern Baptist from Missouri extended great charity -- with a bullwhip in his hand -- to rebuild the nation he helped destroy. This moron occupying the White House now is giving this country away through socialist thought, word and action, both domestically and in foreign policy. He is a dangerous individual, one who has the potential to bring this country down after 226 years of freedom, democracy, and status as the greatest nation on earth -- all because he will not do the right thing as it has always been defined in America, but thinks there is a "better" right thing, which is actually very near treason.

And the belief that we are "losing freedom" because we are at war is aiding and abetting his cause.

 

The government can now spy on us without warrants, track our every move and lock us up indefinitely without due process if it feels like it. The govt can take our children away and force feed them SSRI drugs if it feels like it. The president can even execute us without due process if he feels like it.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

But hey Gina don't you worry that's just a minor inconvenience.

You aren't going to get any real answers about restoring our lost liberties from conservatives especially the "neo" conservatives that hang on every word coming from the Saudi (Sunni Muslim dictatorship) controlled Fox News Network. The fact is they hate the idea of individual liberty almost as much as the liberals. Maybe even more so.

If the government were as worried about Islamic extremists as much as they say then they'd stop training, funding and arming them. It's as simple as that.

Fear is the great motivator Gina. All despots through out history have used fear to control large populations. Our despots are no different whether they call themselves democrats or republicans, liberals or conservatives. If we had no enemies at all the authoritarians in both parties would invent one to keep us in a constant state of fear and emergency.

That's how they gain the three things they covet most. More money, more power and more control. While the liberals and conservatives fight amongst themselves over which authoritarian party is going to be "in control" of government the despots in both parties are dreaming up ways to make everyone more dependent on government and praying for the next big "incident" to come along that they can use to ramp up the fear to gain even more money, more power and more control.
