Americans must be ready to fight jihadis on U.S. soil
The Boston Herald ^ | May 9, 2015 | Adriana Cohen

We knew it was a matter of when, not if, we’d be hit again by Islamist terrorists on our own soil.

Just last Sunday, two ISIS-sympathizing terrorists, clad in body armor and wielding assault rifles, attacked a Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Garland, Texas. Luckily, they were killed before they could slaughter the people attending the event.

Now U.S. military bases and installations are stepping up security, as FBI Director James Comey is warning that there are “hundreds, maybe thousands” of people across the country who are being recruited by ISIS with orders to attack the U.S. Security at these bases is now at the same threat level as it was during the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

America, you’ve just been given your wake-up call.

Clearly the Islamist threat is no longer over there. It is now in our own backyard.

It’s high time our leaders in Washington stop the bickering and come up with a winning strategy to defeat ISIS, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram and the rest of the jihadists once and for all. We need a plan, not “winging it.”

Let’s remember, it took more than 1,000 members of law enforcement to hunt down and capture one 19-year-old terrorist punk after the Boston Marathon bombings. How would we handle a future attack made up of five or 10 terrorists?

We don’t have 300 million-plus military and law enforcement officers to protect us. But we do have that many people here on the homefront. There will be a time when Americans will need to fend for themselves.

That’s another reason Americans must stay vigilant in protecting the Second Amendment. Our founders created the right to bear arms for a reason.

I recently completed a Pistol Firearms Safety Course. Like learning CPR or first aid, one never knows when this basic survival tool may come in handy.

Let’s face the facts that President Obama and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry won’t utter: Radical Islamist extremists are waging a holy war against America and western civilization. Denying that stark reality won’t stop their march and daily massacres.

They only caught the DC Snipers through sheer luck, as I recall.

Op Jade HELM needs to be repurposed to put all mosques in the US as hostile territory and put under 24/7 scrutiny.

Looking for politically correct suspects rather than the actual suspects.

Many of us Americans are locked and loaded and waiting for the party to begin.

Our fathers and grandfathers never would have let this bull**** get this far. They would have told the leftist creeps where they could shove their political correctness.

It is now in our own backyard.

Perhaps declaring an open season on jihadists and paying a bounty on each tagged carcass would decrease the threat.

That pos Cuomo and DeBLAHsio, and even, heartbreakingly, my 9/11 hero, Rudy wont abide by the 2nd amendment.
The time may come when facing a year in jail or your death may need to be weighed against each other.

Should I run to the window to check for aerial pork formations?

What would be the downside to deporting all Muslims and razing all Mosques ?

“What would be the downside to deporting all Muslims and razing all Mosques?”

Can I get back to you on that?

America, you’ve just been given your wake-up call.

The wake up call happened on Sept. 11, 2001.

As I posted on Sept. 12, 2001 I will post again: We should have nuked Mecca, Medina and Qom the next day. We wouldn't be dealing with this $hit now.

Any American who dares get in our way

They were looking for a white guy in a white van with a white gun, as I recall...

That was a fiasco, it looked like it was won by wearing out the patience of the snipers. This wasn’t fun without taunting and that outed the pair.

Maybe we should thank the Lord for small favors, at least the attackers were so consumed with rageful hate that they couldn’t even be all that efficient about it.

Can’t be worse than the idiots there now, both black and white (the incumbent).

You would be making a huge mistake in waiting on our political "leadership" to take any meaningful action against the threat we face. They have proven time and time again, that they are willing to submit Americans to subjugation and slaughter, in the belief that they, "the elite" have purchased for themselves passage that will allow them immunity from the suffering that is assuredly coming.

The quesiton is begged: Who will be the one to strike the first blow in leading the American people back to freedom?

It seemed to help for a while, when the Bush war was making progress. This did not make sense to Muslims in Islamic theology. They weren’t supposed to lose anything, period. But it got undermined by a combination of poor planning and liberals.
