This is not about a ‘cartoon’.
It is about TREASON, seen in advance by all of
the American People, as DC did NOTHING
(and will be remembered long after Benedict Arnold
is forgotten).

The only REAL prophet has been the American People
who have watched ISIS grow at the border, grow
in Syria, and spawned by Obama and McCain.

The American People predicted in advance that the
treason by Boehner, McConnell, Reid and Pelosi
would allow ISIS to attack America.
And it has.

Pamela Geller is one of the bravest women on the planet. She is fighting for our civilization. I’m going to send her another $100 today. Her cause deserves to be supported by all of us.

Note to Islamic terrorists: The phrase, “Don’t Mess With Texas” has more than one meaning.

I didn’t hear any of these libtards crying over the “Piss Christ” exhibit of a crucifix in a jar of urine, which was hailed as wonderful ‘art’ exhibit in NY City a few years back.

Thanks.

FRom a local Phoenix station.

Phoenix man linked to Texas shooting

One of the suspects in the shooting in Garland, Texas, late Sunday has been identified as Elton Simpson, a Phoenix man who was previously the subject of a terror investigation, according to a senior FBI official.

Overnight and today FBI agents and a bomb squad were at Simpson's home in an apartment complex in near 19th Avenue and Thunderbird where a robot is believed to be conducting an initial search of the apartment.

Officials believe Simpson is the person who sent out several Twitter messages prior to the attack on Sunday, in the last one using the hashtag #TexasAttack about half an hour before the shooting.

Local police said two suspects opened fire late Sunday outside a community center in Garland that was hosting an event displaying cartoons of the prophet Muhammad. One unarmed security guard was injured, but other security officers managed to fatally shoot both attackers before anyone else was hurt or killed.

Followers of ISIS had been sending messages about the event in Texas for more than a week, calling for attacks. One referenced January's Charlie Hebdo massacre in France and said it was time for "brothers" in the United States to do their part.

Simpson was well known to the FBI. Five years ago he was convicted for lying to federal agents about his plans to travel to Africa, but a judge ruled the government did not adequately prove he was going to join a terror group there.

As for the second suspect, the FBI is combing through files on all of Simpson's known associates in Phoenix and elsewhere, but so far there has been no word on the accomplice's identity.

We need more of these MOHAMMED CARTOONS to blossom in every state, especially in Michigan. This is to tell every Muslim in this country, if they wish to stay in this country, that we are a free people, able to decide for ourselves what we want and don’t want.

In 2011, Elton Simpson was convicted of a felony, for lying to the FBI, punishable with 5 years in prison, but was instead given 3 years probation. The FBI and US Attorney argued for an enhanced punishment of 8 years in prison due to his attempted travel to Somolia to commit Jihad/terrorism. The Judge ruled the evidence his travel was for terrorism was insuficient, even though he clearly spoke of Jihad in conversations monitored by the FBI. Who was the Judge???

Elton Simpson, a Phoenix man who was previously the subject of a terror investigation, according to a senior FBI official.

The media and the man they elected president will soon be condemning the exhibit, not the attackers.

The libtards are the 1st to scream Freedom of Speech when it comes to desecrating Christianity symbols.

...but Pam was antagonizing those radical muslims to action.

That's what we'll hear & read all today from the left.
