Mortifying. The only word that can be conjured to describe President Obama’s mechanistic, inhuman response on Tuesday to Lieutenant Moaz al-Kasabeh’s murder by immolation. Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorists set Lt. Kasabeh, a U.S. allied pilot, afire inside a steel cage and watched him roast. Apparently, murdering people by sawing through their necks has become mundane. Judging by Obama’s response to date, ISIS may be right.
Obama’s latest quip in response to ISIS's act of Satanic barbarity was characteristically academic: “…it’s just one more indication of the viciousness and barbarity of this organization. And it I think will redouble the vigilance and determination on the part of global coalition to make sure that they are degraded and ultimately defeated. It also indicates the degree to which whatever ideology they are operating off of, it’s bankrupt. We’re here to talk about how to make people healthier and make their lives better. And this organization appears only interested in death and destruction.”
From this lackluster recitation, one would imagine that Obama was chiding a Fortune 500 company for forecasting a reduction in dividends instead of responding to an act of prehistoric, bestial barbarity—a direct, immanent, and existential threat to our national security from Islamist terrorism.
Obama struggles to ascribe to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria a mystery philosophy, only meekly hinting at “whatever ideology they are operating off of…”At the risk of seeming obvious, one might proffer that it’s Islam since Islam forms the first “I”in “ISIS.”The Obama administration twists itself into pretzels to avoid implicating Islam until an Al Qaeda or ISIS terrorist is captured then they are afforded every necessity and convenience required by a practicing Muslim to include copies of the Quran and halal meals. But, Obama will only carefully suggest that ISIS is an “organization”like IBM, the Moose Lodge, or a junior varsity team. He routinely displays a disconnection that belies a meanness of spirit where passion is reserved only for concerns that fall within the minuscule realm of personal interest.
During Obama’s last State of the Union Address, he displayed a rare moment of passion triggered by what he perceived to be an affront to his prestige. When the Republican’s taunted Obama by clapping at his statement, “I’ve run my last campaign,”Obama responded reflexively and impertinently, with a degree of passion remarkable for him: “I know because I won both of them.”In his speech, Obama bloviated about bigger nations not pushing around smaller nations and dealing with the issues in the Middle East by building coalitions and not being dragged into another ground war. All of which reveals Obama’s underlying assumptions about America. Specifically, that our influence internationally is a net negative. That America is and continues to be an imperial influence globally.
Obama doesn’t believe in America, therefore, he feels no outrage when America is challenged by her enemies. For him, foreign policy is merely a matter of a sterile political calculus that is only satisfied when America and its influence are diminished. His passion is the undoing of our Republic and the humiliation of Israel, the Middle East’s only democracy. Obama uses terms like “degrade”because any substantive American presence in the Middle East is presumptively imperial and immoral. America has no right to wage war since, being the biggest kid on the block, we’ve been bullying the little guys in the region for long enough. This sounds like an oversimplification, but Obama really isn’t very complex. He’s a radical left-wing dogmatist and responds accordingly. Last August, Obama’s aloofness and moral ambivalence were demonstrated in a profound and obvious way when he scampered off to the golf course only minutes after making a bland statement regarding the beheading of American journalist James Foley by ISIS barbarians.
Obama’s manic adherence to referring to The Islamic State (IS, or ISIS) as The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is incredibly disturbing. It is commonly understood that the Levant describes a somewhat amorphous region that definitively includes the state of Israel. Regardless of mutterings to the contrary by State Department hack Jen Psaki, the Obama administration lends credence to the legitimacy of Islamo-nazi claims to Israel by perpetuating the use of the acronym ISIL. If the Obama administration were truly serious about “degrading”ISIS then the administration would seek to reduce the effectiveness of ISIS propaganda efforts and would define the Islamo-terrorists without reference to its’antisemitic and wildly expansionist moniker.
And, to add insult to injury, Obama boldly and recklessly smeared all of Christendom at Thursday’s National Prayer Breakfast. He reverently accommodates any sensitivity of Islam but cudgel’s Christians with reckless abandon. In Obama’s fanciful world, the Crusades were just another white, european campaign of imperialist aggression. Apparently, some things never change. The facts of history are that the Crusades were in response to Islam’s ageless modus operandi—conquest, pillage, and evangelism by force of arms. Collectivists like Obama always have trouble with history since facts so often conflict with political narrative. Thinking, serious people can only stand agog at Obama’s colossus of unabashed ignorance and strange sympathies for a tribe of murderous barbarians. It’s almost enough to make one wonder, whose side is this guy really on?
In stark contrast to Obama’s simpering response to Lt. Kasabeh’s murder, King Abdullah II of Jordan responded with the passion indicative of one who feels the conviction of a just cause. While Obama opines about “degrading”an “organization,”King Abdullah rolls heads in the street. So far, two ISIS operatives have been hung by the neck until dead, with more sure to come. Abdullah’s passion is derived from conviction which is naturally expressed by direct and unequivocal action. Abdullah identifies with Clint Eastwood’s film Unforgiven and resembles the character William Munny who is described in the film as “cold as the snow”and having “no weak nerve nor fear.”Because Abdullah is patriotic he responds logically but with real emotion, promising “retribution like ISIS hasn’t seen.”Even a Jordanian monarch has better sense than to refer to ISIS as ISIL. Abdullah’s justice has been swift and will continue to be direct. Reportedly, Abdullah referenced Eastwood’s William Munny directly who responded to the murder of his friend with: “Any man I see out there, I'm gonna kill him. Any son of a bitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only going to kill him, I'm going to kill his wife and all his friends and burn his damn house down.”Well, that just speaks for itself.
King Abdullah reminds us that at the root of heroic action is a love of something outside ourselves. Love of country and comrade impel men and nations to extraordinary action. Obama is only capable of producing awkward contrivances because he disdains the idea of exeptionalism and sees America as just one more nation among many. There is little of love in him. It’s easy to spot marriages of convenience where no abiding love exists. The Clinton’s are the archetypical examples of a marriage of convenience, extant only because of a sterile political expedience. Obama is in a similar relationship with the nation he purportedly leads. He painfully feigns patriotism in a half-hearted attempt to convince us that he’s truly wed to our national interests. If you’re paying even a little attention, his ambivalence speaks volumes and emboldens ISIS who recognize his complaisance as weakness and opportunity. Obama is only in love with himself and with a dusty, worn, and failed progressivism whose corpse is warmed and animated only by racism’s hate. How sad for us and for our children that there is more of an admirable manliness in a King than in the President of a free Republic.
Note to the country of Jordon: We will trade you for your king.
You get a vicious radical tyrant, we get a good king,
Occam’s razor... he’s either a devout Muslim, or enough of a Muslim fanboi that he’s rooting for the bad guys. And, he’s our President, with the nuclear football briefcase.
Is this the guy we want asking for War Powers in the Middle East?
I think not.
Progressive poison is being forced on our once-proud Nation-- a Nation bludgeoned by progressive evil. The frightening silence of the left is telling....even they know where we're headed.
=========================================================
As of Nov 2014, an informed, and very wise, electorate gave Obama the royal shaft---he is now on jihad---trying like hell to show he's still got power. Ergo, he will say and do anything---the more outrageous the better---to show his anger at being politically castrated.
WHAT COULD BE MORE OUTRAGEOUS THAN INSULTING CHRISTIANS AT A PRAYER BREAKFAST. The vaunted Progressive mask of "tolerance and compassion" slips.....as we bear witness to the face of evil.
We, the People, top to bottom, all over the map---elected people who moreoless agree with us (and despise Obama). We now control both Houses of Congress, unified state control of Governorships and legislatures in some 30 sovereign states, governorships in Florida, Tx, Ill, Ohio, Mich, MD, Wisconsin, NC, GA, Mass. We ousted 30 lock-stepping Obamacrats who voted for the ACA.
Rejection of Obama could not have been more decisive. Any normal elected official would know he has been made irrelevant. But.....jihadist Obama still has the remaining dark months of his tenure to do damage.
=====================================================
Progressives' fatal flaw is that they are emotionally disturbed---w/ an obsessive need to "feel good" about themselves. Obama obsessively whines about "helping those who are under-served," those who feel "left out" of the process, etc....forcing we the people to foot the bills for his pathetic emotional needs
Obama's Progressive "vision" has several major flaws:
<><> failing to see that people are not intellectually equal---some are vastly smarter than others. Let's see the Ferguson punks run a major company...or even a fast-food joint.
<><> failing to see the existence of evil---Obama equates today's in-your-face Islamic barbarism w/ far-off events that his diseased mind regurgitates from a 1000 years ago.
<><> cavalierly dismissing America's exceptionalism---Obama extinguished a beacon that once lit the entire world.
<><> failing to grow-up---the fact is, he's no longer a campus radical itching for a confrontation in the dean's office.
I would trade Obama for King George III.
Obama is nothing more than a secular Islamist, which is a better name for an apostate Muslim lover who claims he has converted to Christianity, but is as much a Christian as Beezelebub (Satan). Obama a disciple of Alinsky whom devoted his book to Lucifer. Obama his true father Franklin Marshall Davis - Communist extraordinair. Obama’ mother a whore whom was impregnated by Davis in a rape at the age of 14. Obama adopted the muslim name of his mothers 1 st husband as a young adult after he visited Pakistan. Obama is no muslim and he is no christian he is nothing more than a pagan piece of dog excrement!
“....... he’s either a devout Muslim, or enough of a Muslim fanboi that he’s rooting for the bad guys. And, he’s our President, with the nuclear football briefcase.”
.
All bad alternatives.
Can’t see anything good about any of them.
Isn’t that racist? :)
Obammie is the original “Left Shark” of world politics.
The imposter had a real hard time disguising his approval of the pilots burning, confirmed his position at the prayer breakfast.
And now, five Iraqi’s met the same fate as the Jordanian Pilot.
Somewhere, Obama is smiling.
Beautifully written.
Did Precious play golf this weekend?
Can you change that to “I met IT...”
(I would not want you to unintentionally insult most of the women in the world...)
They get into power and never give it up.
He has the nuclear foot ball.
All it takes is hitting one button.
It would not surprise me if that arrogant pos does not want to exit 1600 Pennsylvania Ave on January 20, 2017
