I like the cover. It shows the very real evil we are up against, whether our Obama recognizes it or not.

Wasn’t he a friend of the moozlums in Syria and a hard-core anti-Semite? He apparently reaped what he sowed.

Why didn’t the NY Post show the 7 minute segment of the british speaking isis fellow sawing off James Foley’s head then throwing it on his back after the event? Now that may have stirred up a few more people. Yes it is a disgusting thing to do, but unless the American people wake up and see these people for what they are, the isis may begin right here in our neighborhoods.

The disgusting garbage that goes on with these Moslem scum needs to be shoved in everyone’s face.

Same with the disgusting behavior of other malcontents. You know what I mean.

The time is long past for the people in this pussified culture to look reality in its ugly face. There are evil people in this world, and they do evil things. If we cannot even look at what they have done and are doing, then there is ZERO prospect of us actually developing the gumption to do anything about it. Thus, seeing this picture at least offers the hope that we may someday confront evil of this type.

Bravo to the New York Post for running that picture. I fully understand that the kidnapping and brutal murder of this reporter was, is, and will continue to be devastating and traumatic for his family. However, I find it hard to believe that members of his family have not already seen the video or at least pictures of this horrible event, if only to verify his identity. That which has been seen cannot be unseen...so what is the point of repressing this picture except to hide the politically incorrect truth?

What should cause outrage is the Clown’s piss poor foreign policy.

Update Per DebbieSchlussel:

"This wasn’t the first time he [Foley]was kidnapped by his Muslim buddies, whose extremism he championed. And not the first time they killed a fellow pro-jihad journalist in his midst. In 2011, Foley was kidnapped and nearly executed by other Islamic terrorists he championed against Qaddafi in Libya. He was kept in captivity by them for 44 days, and at least one other journalist–a photographer–was executed by them. Yet, he continued to champion their cause anyway. Because, again, he “knew better” than logic would dictate. You’d think that after being imprisoned and nearly killed by Muslim “freedom fighters,” he’d face the music and go home. But, no, he found a new group of even more brutal “liberal democrats” who finally finished him off.

Foley, like most of the other “journalists” who went to Syria, was there to champion the cause of the Syrian rebels. He wanted American taxpayers and NATO to finance, arm, and train them against Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, the same thing Foley championed in Libya (and how did that turn out?). He, like Obama, McCain, Romney, and Paul Ryan, wanted us to side with these guys, insisting that the Free Syrian Army–a very tiny part of the Syrian rebel amalgam–was “moderate” and that by giving them arms, money, and training, we would impose HAMAS/Hezbo-style “democracy” on Syria, instead of keeping these people with the brutal dictator that most Muslims really need in spite of–and because of–themselves.

Next thing you know people will start thinking all this has something to do with Islam.

Obama elaborated on this today during his public statement. Lying his arse off about peaceful Islam

I get the NY Post delivered and when I saw the front page this morning, I was happy to see the picture there. Hopefully it will awaken a few of those who still think Islam is a religion of peace.

I think it may be a misspelling of the word twister? I think its a game.

What was done to Foley was the OUTRAGE! Thankyou NYPost for showing it like it is, for letting passers by take a good hard look at the truth. They should thank God that this didn’t happen to them. Yet.
