Obama: ‘We’ are to blame, not Islamic terrorism, for massacre

Obama: ‘We’ are to blame, not Islamic terrorism, for massacre

Omar Mateen called the cops to pledge his fealty to ISIS as he was carrying out his mass murderer in Orlando early Sunday morning. Twelve hours later, the president of the United States declared that “we have no definitive assessment on the motivation” of Omar Mateen but that “we know he was a person filled with hate.”

So I guess the president thinks Mateen didn’t mean it?

Here again, and horribly, we have an unmistakable indication that Obama finds it astonishingly easy to divorce himself from a reality he doesn’t like — the reality of the Islamist terror war against the United States and how it is moving to our shores in the form of lone-wolf attacks.

He called it “terror,” which it is. But using the word “terror” without a limiting and defining adjective is like a doctor calling a disease “cancer” without making note of the affected area of the body — because if he doesn’t know where the cancer is and what form it takes, he cannot attack it effectively and seek to extirpate it.

So determined is the president to avoid the subject of Islamist, ISIS-inspired or ISIS-directed terrorism that he concluded his remarks with an astonishing insistence that “we need the strength and courage to change” our attitudes toward the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.

That’s just disgusting. There’s no other word for it.

NBC already spinning it into an LGBT hate issue rather than ISLAM, not “radical” Islam, in our country.

Gays and straights, all in the US, caused this.

Everyone but the shooter, his religion, and the organization he called into police for which he said he paid fealty (ISIS).

Should we tell them or let them find out by themselves?

He didn’t say the shooter was an illegal alien. He’s saying the shooter worked for G4S, a company which is transporting illegal aliens into the country.
So IOW Mateen could have been using his job to help smuggle in jihadists with whom he might be acquainted.
BTW, has this been called to Trump’s attention? These are outstanding dots when connected.

I would swear I heard it referred today as LGBTQ....are they really going to go by that acronym now? The “Q” that was so reprehensible, it had to be cleaned up some years back?

I've got a word for it

Treason!

Everyone probably has a moment when they became Trump supporters for the LGBT it was today/last night -

They will soon realize they would rather be alive then worry about crossdressers the ladies room.

Lets be clear, Obama's weakness and treasonous refugee immigration policy is directly responsible for these ISIS caused attacks.

There is an ongoing war, we have a traitor in the white house and he is importing more ISIS soldiers as we speak.

I just heard the shooter in Orlando was on the terrorist watch list.

Yet the state of Florida licensed him as a ARMED guard?

If both of these sentences are true and I suspect they are. My question tO

the Federals, the state of Florida and the world is simple

W T F?

It’s a version of Fast and Furious, trafficking terrorists, instead of AK’s.

Apparently, removing the Confederate battle flag from State flags, and trying to remove it from main stream American culture, didn’t solve any of this mass shooting/terrorism. (like anyone thought it really would)

Freakin’ Obama has these nuts on speed dial so he can roll them out as needed. He does only have 7 more months to rescind the Second Amendment, after all.
