Rep. Gohmert: If Orlando Was About Guns, Then 'Boston Was About a Pressure Cooker'(video)
CNSNews.com ^ | 6/24/16 | Susan Jones

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) called it "outrageous" that House Democrats would grab microphones and prevent fellow lawmakers from conducting business in violation of House rules, all to make a point about gun control, which is really beside the point, he said:

"And when people go on for 12 hours, saying things, 'It's about guns,' then that means Boston was about a pressure cooker. It wasn't. Both of them were about radical Islam," Gohmert told Fox News's Charles Payne.

"And the reason people died unnecessarily is because this FBI, this Justice Department, this Homeland Security has purged their training materials, so FBI agents don't know what questions to ask to find out if Mateen [Orlando attacker] or Tsarnaev [Boston attacker] had been radicalized.

Once again I’m impressed with this man. I’ve seen him at many Tea Party rallies. He is solid as a rock.

I guess that leaves 9/11 being about airplanes.

RYAN did not want to stop them.

RYAN and the LYING GOP want only to keep ObamaCARE,
ObamaTRADE, ObamaTREASON, ObamaRICO, pumping and growing
as they keep every door open for invasion by Quartering.

RYAN and the GOP were glad to go home and continue
their EXEMPTIONs and alcohol and whoring.

A History Lesson, we should all pay heed to and may all want to try to remember.

Ask any person, not your child between the ages of 18 and 25, if they ever heard of the Nuremburg Trials. 1 in 13 might say they have, but will not be able to tell you “what” was on trial (not who). Those same people will probably not be able to tell you the name of the current Vice President. 84% of those who receive this will not listen to it completely, or at all. 10% will but will also choose not to forward it. The remaining 6% will forward it.

The Islamic war started in the 7th century and lasted through the 17th century. I would contend it never stopped, but historically the facts below are correct. This is why I choke when I hear someone say we will defeat or contain these Islamic terrorists in a few years or even 30 years as recently stated by Leon Panetta. If the latest batch of murders, beheadings, and killing of innocent Christians has shocked you, maybe you should read this compilation of historical facts about the hatred of Muslims.

WE, THE STUPID…This is factually (and historically) correct – and verifiable: In 732 A.D. the Muslim Army, which was moving on Paris, was defeated and turned back at Tours, France, by Charles “The Hammer” Martell. In 1571 A.D. the Muslim Army/Navy was defeated by the Italians and Austrians as they tried to cross the Mediterranean to attack southern Europe in the Battle of Lepanto. In 1683 A.D. the Turkish Muslim Army, attacking Eastern Europe, was finally defeated in the Battle of Vienna by German and Polish armies. This has been going on for 1,400 years and half of the politicians don’t even know it. If these battles had not been won, we might be speaking Arabic; and Christianity could be non-existent. Judaism certainly would not exist.

Reflecting: A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves. Pause a moment and reflect back. These events are actual events from history. They really happened!

Do you remember? 47 years since 1968 and this just keeps going on and on.

1. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male.

2. In 1972, at the Munich Olympics, Israeli athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim males.

3. In 1972, a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted to Cairo where a fuse was lit on final approach. Shortly after landing it was blown up by Muslim males.

4. In 1973, a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome, with 33 people killed, when it was attacked with grenades by Muslim males.

5. On Sunday, Nov 4, 1979, the US embassy in Tehran, Iran was taken over by Muslim males. The remaining 52 prisoners were released on January 20, 1981.

6. During the 1980’s a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim males.

7. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim males.

8. In 1985, the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked, and a 70-year old American passenger was murdered because he was a Jew and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim males.

9. In 1985, TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim males.

10. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim males.

11. In 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim males.

12. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim males.

13. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim males.

14. In 2002, the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim males.

15. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by – you guessed it – a Muslim male. (Plus two other American journalists who were also beheaded).

16. In 2013, the Boston Marathon bombing resulted in 4 Innocent people, (including a child) being killed and 264 people injured by Muslim males.

No Obama, I really don’t see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?

If Charleston was about the Confederate flag, then Orlando was about the LBGTQ flag.

I saw a good one the other day.

If you think guns are responsible for these shootings, next time a cop pulls you over for speeding, tell him it's the cars fault.

Actually, Sirhan Sirhan was a Palestinian Christian. The problem with the “It’s all about Islam” thesis is that it ignores the fact that Arab Christians are not much better. We shouldn’t be taking ANY refugees from that part of the world. In my opinion P. J. O’Rourke nailed it when he referred to the Holy Land as “God’s monkey house”.

We need an immediate ban on assault pressure cookers.

9/11 was about terrorism and planes. Boston was about terrorism and pressure cookers. Orlando was about terrorism and guns. These devices are giving terrorists more power than they would have had 200 years ago.

Ah Ah!, No No, Rep Gohmert. You are applying Reasoning to these tragedies.

This isn't about that, this is about Gun Grabbing and never letting a crisis go to waste.
