Well now they have done it.
They killed a priest. A high priest. A secular high priest.
They killed a journalist I mean.
“In the video released on Tuesday,” reports Asia News Channel, “an individual presumed to be [freelance journalist James] Foley - who was captured by militants in Syria in November 2012 - is seen on his knees in a desert landscape reading a statement asking his family to stop the US intervention in Iraq. A man standing next to him dressed in black with his face covered and holding a knife then says in a distinct British accent that the beheading of Foley was in direct response to the US airstrikes on their fighters.”
My condolences go out to the family of Mr. Foley, who presumably was killed by Obama-created allies Team Islam, World Police, also known as the Islamic State in the Levant, or the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria or—sometimes-- Climate Change, when all else fails to confuse the masses.
But my condolences have been going out to all of the families, not just for Foley; especially the families who have lived in fear for so long—the people who live in Syria and Iraq as Christians, and who are bearing the brunt of persecution in Obama’s War on War.
If anything in life is certain it is this: When Obama wages war on anything, including war, we ought to expect a mass casualty event at this point.
When he waged war on old white men, women took the brunt in the so-called War on Women. As Obama panders to the black community, it is the black community that has been left behind in his race to “fix” poverty. As Obama bemoans the plight of male thugs who loot and plunder, he slowly strangles the law abiding, decent, common impulse amongst black males to have jobs, to have families, to have their own slice of the American Dream.
And thus it goes with the War on War.
Because make no mistake: Obama will allow hundreds of thousands to die to burnish the thin metal that is his Nobel Peace Prize. He’s a man of peace, don’t you know? Even as he’s created more war in six years than the George Bushes did in twelve.
Still, it’s nice to see the media world take notice finally of the tragedy in Iraq, but my question is: what took you so long? Did it really need for you to feel the suffering of the Foley family? Do you really only have sympathies for your own?
Journalism has suffered a kind of racism for years, with unwashed outsiders not a part of the chosen race, and with some media members treated by their own like white Hispanics during a lynch mob attack in central Florida.
Hopefully this will help the media see the light, just as the use of intelligence resources directed at intimidating journalists helped turn the spotlight on the White House abuse of its powers on those unfortunates who aren’t part of the media fraternity; people like the Byzantine Catholics, who have been beheaded by hundreds if not thousands in Syria and Iraq.
Freedom of Religion is protected by the same First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America as Freedom of the Press is. And I have this quaint notion that those freedoms apply to everyone equally, regardless of the fraternity, country or class they belong to.
A violation of one part is a violation of all parts.
And that of course is why Obama will never get it, but journalists just might someday.
I can always hope.
War won.
De mortuis nil nisi bonum.
Don’t speak ill of the dead.
FYI: He was a Christian, when he was taken captive on a previous occasion in North Africa, he wrote passionately about how the power of prayer delivered him.
He was working to expose the suffering of the Syrian people.
The problem with liberal BS is that it sounds good, but when put into practice it fails miserably in the test of the real world.
I noted today that not ONE reporter at Obama’s pressure shouted a question at The Messiah as he was leaving. You would think at least ONE would have the stones to ask, “ How is the “Doctrine of Soft Power Diplomacy” working out?
Greenfield: What is Wrong with ISIS, is What is Wrong with Islam
Sultan Knish blog ^ | Tuesday, August 19, 2014 | Daniel Greenfield
“The religious and ethnic strife in the Middle East out of which ISIS emerged and which has become its brand, goes back over a thousand years. If support for terrorism emerges from radicalization, then the armies of Islam were radicalized in the time of Mohammed and have never been de-radicalized. “
“Terrorism is not reactive. As ISIS has shown us, it has a vision for the future. The Caliphate, like the Reich, is a utopia which can only be created through the mass murder and repression of all those who do not belong. This isn’t a new vision. It’s the founding vision of Islam.
“What is wrong with ISIS is what is wrong with Islam.”
“We can defeat ISIS, but we should remember that its roots are in the hearts of the Sunni Muslims who have supported it. ISIS and Al Qaeda are only symptoms of the larger problem. “

There is Power in Soft? And it is a doctrine?
Who formulated this new guide to “leading from behind”?
B. Hussein Obama, COMMANDER IN CHIEF of all US Military Forces, will continue to lead his Generals and Admirals to continued defeat, thus helping to fulfill Obama’s pledge to “Fundamentally transform the United States of America.”
LOL - liberals came up with an answer and excuse for that truth: Liberals say it's the intention that matters... NOT truth, not the reality, but the FEELINGS.
I can’t bring myself to feel sorry for a member of a profession when most of the members qualify as domestic enemies and enablers of an oppressive regime.
“There is Power in Soft? And it is a doctrine?
Who formulated this new guide to “leading from behind”?”
“Soft Power” is a BS Liberal feel-good Doctrine developed by Joseph Nye of Harvard University, after the “Harshness!!!” of the Reagan-Era diplomacy style, to describe the ability to attract and co-opt rather than coerce, use force or give money as a means of persuasion.
The Academic Socialists just eat this B.S. up, and Chomsky was one of the biggest champions of this crap, the idea that if we are just nice to people, and give the ones we want to be in charge money, they will love us.
(How is that working out in Libya, Egypt, Syria, and Ukraine?)
SOUND FAMILIAR???
Remember Obama’s 2008 campaign speeches?
That is where this idea came from.
Machiavelli knew this idea was BS 600 years ago, but that hasn’t stopped the libs from pushing it.
Bump
He had to go back to his golf game, don't you know that? It was bad enough that he had to interrupt his game and had to come and address the nation
“FYI: He was a Christian, when he was taken captive on a previous occasion in North Africa, he wrote passionately about how the power of prayer delivered him.”
Where are you getting this from?
James Foley backed the murderous, Christian-killing jihadists. He hated America and cheered for its destruction. Foley was a left-wing moonbat who stepped on a landmine of his own choosing and got blown up. And he sure as f*** wasn’t a “journalist.”

Give us a link to your claim that he was a Christian. Put up or shutup.
