OPINION: Obama vs. the JV team

After the Benghazi 9-11 attack on our embassy in Libya, the Obama-Hillary propaganda machine repeatedly came out with the false narrative that “a reprehensible and disgusting video that insulted Islam” was responsible for the “spontaneous attack” that killed four Americans.

Claiming that it wasn’t a terrorist attack was a sadistic Machiavellian ploy right before the election to help Obama’s reelection bid. We now know that military assets were offered and ready to mobilize in the initial stage of the Benghazi attack and the green light somehow never came from Clinton’s State Department. In my opinion, lying to the American people about the attack by blaming a video and withholding military assistance that cost the lives of Americans is treason worthy of impeachment.

Its clear now that Obama’s behavior fits a self-serving pattern of enabling the enemy by willfully obfuscating the nature of the Islamic threat we face.

When ISIS first started its wholesale slaughter in Iraq, Obama did nothing. He had no strategy to deal with the growing threat and in fact dismissed ISIS as the “JV team.” ISIS has been allowed to expand its monstrous caliphate as a direct result of Obama’s complicit inaction and unwillingness to quantify the insidious nature of the enemy.

Why did America’s top cop, Loretta Lynch, just days after the horrific massacre in California threaten to prosecute anyone using “anti-Miuslim rhetoric”? Lynch said her “greatest fear” is the “incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric.” What I find truly disturbing is Lynch’s knee-jerk mentality; throwing the First Amendment freedoms she took an oath to protect under the bus of politically correct expediency.

As this administration goes out of its way to apologize for Islam, it is abundantly clear that Obama cares very little or nothing for Americans and our constitutional liberties. Why does President Obama repeatedly go to great pains to say we are not at war with Islamic extremists and that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) “does not represent Islam”? Excuse me, but who made Obama a cleric or an authority on the subject of Islam? Is it the job of the president of the United States to canonize what is and what isn’t Islamic or what constitutes being a Muslim?

Immediately after the San Bernardino terror attack, Obama went out of his way to play down any Islamic terrorist connection, when the average American watching the news unfold had already put two and two together; it was Islamic terrorism. Instead of waiting for the facts, Barack Hussein Obama callously used the massacre as a political prop to shamelessly promote gun control. Mr. President, if a jihadi has no gun with which to murder and maim, he or she will steal one, or use a bomb, a knife or even a stone.

Is this just another example of Obama’s contempt for the Constitution?

This time it goes beyond contempt for the Constitution, because Obama is openly aiding and abetting the enemy by willful obfuscation. The facts are in and this was a coordinated attack by ISIS devotees who targeted our lax immigration policies. On top of which, for an American president to even postulate and pontificate that this terrorist attack in California could have been “workplace violence” is truly sickening. Mr. President, this attack happened on your watch inspired by that JV team you talked about so dismissively. Don’t tell Americans what to think and stop impugning the Second Amendment and blaming the NRA for your own incompetence, buffoonery and willful neglect of the truth.

In the immediate aftermath of the California shooting, Democrats and the liberal media were quick to shame the GOP for failing to “do something” to prevent gun violence, without even knowing the facts. Just like Benghazi, the Obama regime is quick to lie and blame-shift to cover for Islamic terror. And just like well-behaved brainwashed lap dogs, the Obama media machine follows this politically corrupt line of blather like an army of Pavlovian modified stooges on steroids.

When legitimate concerns are aired about terrorists infiltrating the ranks of the thousands of Syrian refugees Obama has vowed to bring into our neighborhoods, Obama mocks that, “Republicans are afraid of orphans and widows.” Really? The vast majority of Syrian refugees flooding Europe now are actually young men, Mr. President. Even if they were mostly women and children, does the commander-in-chief not understand that little Muslim children are being trained by ISIS in Syria to strap on martyr bombs and kill the infidel? If even a small percentage of those refugees wage jihad on Americans, will Obama be flying out to speak at the funerals of the victims of Islamic terror?

I think not.

America is at war with political Islam, theocratic Islam and ideological Islam, whether we admit it or not, because all three of these have declared jihad on America and the West. Islam is fundamentally and diametrically opposed to Western civilization, civil rights, due process and freedom of speech. If you commit so called “blasphemy” under sharia law, which could be simply drawing a cartoon, you receive a death sentence. Sadly, the vast majority of Muslims sympathize with this kind of supremacist barbarism.

Americans who are against all aspects of sharia law, or Islamic mob rule, are against it for good reason. Donald Trump has been called racist for opposing the wholesale importation of Muslims to the U.S. from Middle Eastern countries. But racism is defined as being against a particular race, not religion. Since Muslims come from all ethnic and racial backgrounds, that politically incorrect labeling is just so much dung. If “Islamophobic” means being against a global political terror movement that espouses jihad and world domination, then count me in.

It is a sad day in America when freedom of speech is muzzled by Muslim sympathizers in the media, who are most likely rabid Christophobes and anti-Semites themselves. But when a sitting American president has a track record of pathologically backpedaling the Islamic threat we all face, the West is at risk of Islamic-assisted suicide.
