Obama: Radical Islam A "Phenomena," Not A Threat...

Radical islam has taken over countries in the middle east and threatens France, Britain, and other European countries, yet Pres. Obama refers to it as a "phenomena... that has metastasized," but he does 

"...not consider it an existential threat… This is one we will solve. We are stronger, we are representing values that a majority of Muslims believe in — in tolerance and working together to build rather than destroy."

The president cannot just will ISIS or any other radical islamic terrorist threat away. Claiming to have the moral high ground has not stopped radicals from destroying other societies that also claimed to have the moral high ground, and it won't stop them here, either. This is not a problem "… to be solved," it is a clear and present danger to be eradicated.

Thomas Paine made the following observation, and it holds true today: 

"I am thus far a Quaker, that I would gladly agree with all the world to lay aside the use of arms, and settle matters by negotiation; BUT UNLESS THE WHOLE WILL, THE MATTER ENDS, AND I TAKE UP MY MUSKET AND THANK HEAVEN HE HAS PUT IT IN MY POWER," emphasis added.

It is time to take up the musket against these radical islamic terrorists, and thank heaven He has put it in our power.

The Second Amendment - The Teeth Of The Constitution...

I'm betting that there are a lot of middle eastern countries that wish they had the same individual right to own firearms as a deterrent to terrorists that we have here in the US. 

Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto is credited (mistakenly - no one knows where this quote actually originated) with saying, "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." While the quote may be misattributed, the truth underlying it is accurate. 

We have historically had two barriers to terrorism in the US - oceans and the private ownership of firearms that make the unorganized citizen militia a reality. Air travel has largely nullified the first barrier; that makes the remaining barrier that much more important. 

The sculpture in this photo was displayed this year during the Art Prize competition in Grand Rapids, MI, in an effort to get people to focus on gun control. I changed the background and now display this as a reminder of how critical the Second Amendment is to maintaining our Constitutional rights and defending them from ALL enemies - foreign and domestic.

URGENT: Administration Secretly Issuing Warning Of Imminent Attacks Originating In Mexico...

Judicial Watch posted today that, in addition to the uptick in chatter relating to possible 9/11 attacks, DHS, Justice, and State have put agencies on high alert to find out anything they can to verify reports that ISIS and Al Qaeda are staging in Juarez for possible car bombing attacks on the US, and a warning bulletin for border security regarding an imminent attack has been issued. The commanding general at Ft. Bliss has been read into the threat.

Imminent Terrorist Attack Warning By Feds on US Border - Judicial Watch

Britain has taken similar measures - publicly, with PM Cameron stating that they are facing the "poisonous ideology of Islamic extremism."  The White House has said it currently has no plans to publicly raise the threat level here.

There is evidence to suggest that drug cartels and ISIS are teaming up to move terrorist resources over the border into the country.

If it can be proven that Obama's decision to unilaterally relax border security to allow illegals into the country had anything to do with terrorist elements making it in as well, then he must be impeached and held criminally liable for throwing open our doors to any resulting attacks. He, and he alone, bears the guilt for any resulting attacks and the accompanying loss of life. He bragged that he acted alone; he can take the blame alone, too.

al Qaeda The JV? Tell Us Again, Mr. President….

With al Qaeda troops re-taking cities in Iraq and intending to march on Baghdad (al Qaeda pushing towards Baghdad), tell us again, Mr. President, how they are the JV and can be written off without a second thought (Obama-they're the JV).

And while we're at it, tell us again how the release of five taliban leaders represents no threat to us when the guy spearheading the drive to Baghdad was also caught by American troops, a prisoner for two years, and then ordered released by your administration.  All credible intelligence experts believe he will turn Iraq into the next Afghani safe haven for terrorists - and the US will be at the top of his hit list.

Let's face it, Mr. President, your foreign policy has come apart at the seams, your attempts to prove that islam is our friend has been disproved so many times that only someone with a distinct agenda could still believe it, and you have set up our country to lose more citizen lives at the hands of these madmen and their supporters than any president who preceded you - and that includes Jimmy Carter, who single handedly set the stage for the whole islamic revolution by throwing the Shah of Iran under the bus under the misguided notion that the ayatollah Khomeini was a "holy man" with whom he could work (Islamic revolution a Jimmy Carter legacy).  You have effectively re-energized the islamic revolution, and they are coming back with a ferocity that will be unparalleled in recent history.

By all objective standards, your foreign policy is an abject failure - but then, it's just one of several now, isn't it?
