WRONG.
They are worse than 'worthless'. The Obama regime is an active aider, abetter and facilitator of empowering our enemies and sabotaging our own nation.
We are dealing with a Communist Islamic Trojan Horse, whose entire purpose is to utterly destroy this nation.
Obama and his regime FIGHT FOR the Jihadists and AGAINST America and it's allies.
They ARE our enemy, every bit as much as Al Qaeda and ISIS.
He lost me at ‘radical.’
the absolute best thing we can do for the world is to nuke mecca.
we do that, the muslim religion crumbles and muslims realize they have been following a false religion all along.
Pretty pathetic Republican neocon propaganda.
Republicans had both Houses of Congress and the White House for the years 2003-2006.
They had wars in the middle east going and those wars were portrayed as part of America’s war against Radical Islam.
But all during that time of War Against Radical Islam, the entire US government, politically in the hands of the Republican party mind you, from the White House on down, was partnering in every way possible with ALL THINGS MUSLIM that it deemed were not “radical”.
These United States alliances include military, intelligence, business and financial alliances with most Islamic countries, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia arguably being the closest alliance of all. Islamic sovereign wealth funds (the investments of the governments of Islamic countries and their ruling families) are PREMIER partners of the United States in global trade and finance.
The city of Dubai is the trade and finance hub of the Islamic business world, and its rise to prominence is recounted at this link:
Excerpt from the article “How Dubai Became Dubai”:
“Indeed, until President George W. Bush’s post-9/11 declaration —“Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists” — the Emirati royals really were with both; the UAE played the seemingly impossible game of being friends with both the Americans, for whom Dubai serves as the largest overseas naval port, and the man who had declared war on America. Hardly dyed-in-the-wool jihadis, the Emirati royals likely saw bin Laden as an eccentric buddy — part of their social milieu of Gulf Arab millionaire heirs but with an added frisson of radical chic.”

“With the success of Jebel Ali, Sheikh Mohammed began carving other free zones out of the desert, each specifically designed to woo an industry he felt would benefit Dubai. But carving Dubai up into free zones was more than just an economic development strategy. Being a single city governed under multiple legal regimes would come to define Dubai. Global cities have always struggled with how to apply laws to their diverse assemblages of people. Through its patchwork of free zones, Dubai had come up with a new answer. While in the foreign concessions of Shanghai, different people were bound by different legal codes based on their nationality, in Dubai the same people would be governed by different legal codes depending on where they were within the city. In Shanghai, extraterritoriality meant that no matter where you were in the treaty port, you were, in a legal sense, always back home; in Dubai, the free zones made traveling from neighborhood to neighborhood, in a legal sense, like moving from country to country.
The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) free zone, opened in 2002, is physically set on a block of desert off of Sheikh Zayed Road. The DIFC complex, designed by San Francisco architecture firm Gensler as a massive horseshoe-shaped office building wrapped around a central 12-story arch, soon filled up with the giants of global banking, including Citibank, HSBC, Standard Chartered and Credit Suisse. As with the architectural blueprints, the intellectual blueprints for the DIFC had been drawn up for the monarch by an American firm — consulting behemoth McKinsey — which advised the Dubai government to create a financial district governed by Western-style business regulations. It fell to veteran finance regulator Errol Hoopmann, who was hired away from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission in 2003, to write the legal code. “The whole concept here was to vacate 110 acres of [land of UAE] laws, just empty it of civil and commercial laws,” Hoopmann explained in his Australian accent, wearing a pinstriped suit in his office atop the arch. “And then we had to write our own laws to fill up that vacuum. And those laws are based on mainly UK [regulations] — though there’s an awful lot of Australian because I wrote it.”

All along, however, there were grumblings here and there from the neocon political right about Saudi Arabia “EXPORTING WAHHABISM”.
Nevertheless, the neocon’s grassroots voting bloc solidly supported just about anything the White House did during those total Republican-controlled years from 2003 through 2006.
And now...
the propaganda is attempting to tell us...
we must resume the “War on Radical Islam” to avoid our DOOM - the rise of a “global caliphate” that will conquer America and the rest of the world.
Well, since during the ALL REPUBLICAN years of 2003 through 2006 the POLITICAL RIGHT WING LEADERSHIP in America was HARD AT WORK HELPING to financially grow and financially diversify the sovereign wealth funds of Islamic countries, and doing all they could to foster massive build up of economic development and technical modernization of Islamic countries, and doing all they could to help muslims immigrate to America and gain citizenship, invest, do business, get education and training, embark on their new American life and career, and even get elected to public offices in their new country, America...
it’s pretty hard to argue that the RIGHT WING LEADERSHIP fears ANYTHING about Islam.
The only time the right wing says anything negative about Islam at all is when they point at terrorist acts committed by muslims and then call for a “War on Radical Islam”.
Of course, in very conservative grassroots circles, the rank and file - and perhaps a few who seem like they are there simply to stoke the fire a bit - will often get overexcited and go off ranting about nuking Mecca, or about going to war against “all Islam”, etc., in what seems like a call to go to war against any and all Islamic nations. Also, the grassroots voices an enormous resentment of the continued “cultural invasion” of Islam into the US.
But in these two points, both the foreign and domestic one - the grassroots is ALL BY ITSELF.
Because the Republican LEADERSHIP in America NEVER speaks of those two points, let alone supports them.
So if the conservative grassroots votes for Republican leaders based on pursuing any significant kind of “War on Islam”, they will be sadly disappointed in the results when their Republican candidate takes office. Because the Republican leadership speaks of a war on “Radical Islam” - but NEVER a war on Islam in general.
Quite to the contrary, all lipservice to the grassroots aside, Repblican leaders continue to provide all the support they can towards the improvement of conditions for Muslim nations and Muslim people - both internationally and domestically.
obammy is a mooselimb, plain and simple.
Nothing about this jive ass punk is real.
Our problem is Americans in general are so dumb! and greedy. It’s all about whether or not it affects them directly and if not then there is no problem.
We were waiting for a nation to declare war on.
ISIS now appears to have created one.
So we will learn if they are a genuine and independent menace to world freedom or tools of powerful international financial interests. If the latter, we will be counseled to leave them alone until their task (whatever it may be) is complete.
