Trump, Cruz blister Obama for failing to pin Orlando massacre on ‘radical Islam’
The Dallas Morning News' TrailBlazers Blog ^ | June 12, 2016 | Todd J. Gillman

President Barack Obama called it an act of terrorism and an act of hate. He noted that the massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando was the deadliest shooting in our nation’s history.

But it was something he didn’t say Sunday afternoon that caught the ear of Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz.

“President Obama disgracefully refused to even say the words `radical Islam.’ For that reason alone, he should step down,” Trump said in a prepared statement issued by his campaign.

He added that if Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, likewise fails to invoke the term to explicitly place blame for the attack, “she should get out of this race for the presidency.”

Neither Democrat is likely to heed the unsolicited bit of advice from Trump....

This election could really see us have a sharp clear choice, between liberalism and more realistic views of the world.

It could really see us have a good frank discussion about how political correctness is the “religion” of liberals, and that political correctness is what drives their policies and actions.

And that political correctness is deadly, when liberalism is applied to issues such as Muslim terror.

While I have been stunned and saddened at these continuing massacres perpetrated by Muslims, I hope that these events help focus people on what is at stake. I hope it convinces enough voters that making policy based on political correctness is wrong to do. And that electing Hillary and Democrats will continue our politically correct approach to governing.

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, I hope someday to see political correctness on the ash heap of history.

Is Rafael still “assessing” whether to vote for Trump or Hillary?

Obviously, the only safe individuals in this country are muslimes.
And the includes Obama.
The rest of us have been thrown to the wolves......
A hundred “lone wolf” enemy combatants can kill thousands.
Obama is a deceiver.
We are not safe. Orlando is not now safe.
Far from it.
Arm yourselves.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the snake is still trying to rig the convention for himself...

Obama is making America safe for muslims.

Non-muslims not so much.

Cruz assesses nothing that isn’t an attempt to advance himself, inject himself into pivotal issues and events, while cutting the legs out from under the guy who’s at the head of the class and angling to slither to the center of the political buzz himself.

Cruz pilfers the pages of the nominee’s book, reconstructs them for himself and claims them as his own.

No attribution in sight to Donald Trump, the real dragon slayer Cruz mimics.

I guess we now know that Zero’s Indonesian muzzie roots are stronger than his affiliation for his bath house buddies. I wonder if his reaction would have been different if the nightclub was in Chicag-hole instead.

Iman Baraq is a radical Islamist, and he calls ISIS, ISIL.

It’s not radical Islam; it’s the true face of Islam.
