When Will We Wake Up?
Frontpagemag.com ^ | January 8, 2015 | Bruce Thornton

The three Muslim gunmen who killed 12 journalists in Paris targeted not just those people and their satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, but a core ideal and human right of the West––the right to free speech in the public square defined by tolerance for different opinions. That’s why the killers, after they had called out the names of their individual victims before they shot them, bragged as they made their escape that they had “killed” Charlie Hebdo.

The only think keeping the folks slumbering is ignorance and censorship of news.

We must DEMAND that media tell the truth, and politicians also tell the truth and call this all what it is: Islamic Terrorism,

and then “we” will take steps to stomp out this scourge!

Good Grief.

How pathetic is this if it plays out that the FRENCH have the attachments to stand up to terrorism, and WE DON’T.

Thanks again America for TWICE electing that disgrace to the White House.

I would follow a religion led by Charles Manson before I would follow the Islamic cult.

That is why we have the internet sources as part of the “alternate new media”.

The media will also ignore the French Policewoman who was gunned down during the search for the terrorists.

"When will we wake up?"

Let's ask instead, "who's keeping us drugged in a state of sleep?"

I was always awake. Immediately after 9-11 I proclaimed aloud West is best.

We agree ! IMo the west responds to Islamic murder and destruction with candle light vigils and show of standing with those killed or wounded. Then we rush to agree with those who insist the ones killed or wounded brought it all on themselves. And governments living in Fear of the murder and destruction insist Islam is a Religion of Peace which everyone with half a brain knows is a bloody LIE. The backlash is not Islamophobia but a response to the central fact concerning that system of murder and destruction.In a sense I agree with the dead editor I would would rather die a free man than a sodomized slave of Islam.

Most people pay little or no attention to anything UNTIL it directly affects THEM.

To put it simply.. it has to BURN their A$$ before they acknowledge it is a problem.

The American media will never wake up.

As ISIS is slitting their throats after killing their family members, they will be fretting about an “anti-muslim backlash.”

For now. Pay VERY close attention to the "new rules" coming out of the FCC this month on the Internet. My guess is that the Internet is about to become much more expensive.

Asking the current gatekeepers of the major media outlets to provide us with ALL the relevant information is like urinating into the wind. They either are far too fearful of the potential for retaliation from the rabid Islamofascists, or they are actively supporting an agenda to GIVE the Islamofascists supremacy.

So we go around them, and keep this protest of the attempt to crush free speech going in a viral feed around the world. It is impossible to shame those who have no shame into decent and respectable behavior, but they can be subverted and bypassed.

The Amish have a way to showing their disapproval of the actions of one of their community who is behaving badly, it is called “shunning”. The miscreant is shut out of all conversations and interactions with former friends and neighbors, and either the culprit admits of the shame and asks forgiveness, or finds himself exiled from the community.

First, depending on were you get your internet service “from”, it is not cheap to begin with.

Second, look for these “new rules” to land up in fed court(s) down the road.

It doesn’t matter, BG. The FCC can leverage “fines” against ISPs as they see fit, and no ISP is going to take that on the chin. If you think that the executive branch of our government can’t levy taxes on the American people and businesses, I’d like to point to Obamacare as a primer.

None dare call it a cult

We’ll wake up if we face it that we as a country take religion for what it is. We think Christianity is a democratic institution. We want to be able to I tell God what rules we want and what we don’t want

We believe in God but we don’t know Him, as a country

And with the need to keep the practices that tell God who and when people should be born, we are stuck in pride. We respect religion by respecting Muslims’ rights to practice their deal

As long as we can keep practicing what we’ve ended up with We’ll make way for the muzz as long as we don’t have to make way for judeochristian Christianity. Which does not allow rampant sex instead of marriage and family

We ll be told what to do by them even put them in charge of government as long as we can continue taking the sex with no consequences (addictive) drug

We have opted for that slavery

And are not able to face a religious war with our hatred of our own perceived oppressive religion.

Unfortunately, when that happens to some liberals now, they say they deserved to have it happen because of white privilege or some other mumbo-jumbo.
