But wait, can we have just one more stuffed animal at the scene of carnage? Just one more. . . . Oh, and maybe a little note about how Mommy is so happy to be in Heaven now . . . waiting for the rest of us . . FUBO

“The world is so paralyzed by terror it can’t even raise a hand in its own defense.”

And the companion cultural neurotoxin is political correctness.

I sure hope you’re right. Ryan needs to go. Maybe he will meet Manafort in a dark alley. :-)

How about No More, politicians doing a press conference introducing other politicians, thanking and congratulating each other for the amazing job they have done. Then to make it worse they announce to everyone that the terrorists didn’t win, to cover for their own negligence .........(tell that to surviving families looking at their dead children in the street, treated like roadkill, that in some twisted way, they won)

All the military might and technology in the world is meaningless without the will to use it.

Not paralyzed, but indifferent. Very much like the fictional Eloi, in my mind, notwithstanding the very different circumstances of today's globally connected society, compared with the superficially Edenic existence of the Eloi.

Thanks for posting this. Shared it on FB and I NEVER do politics there. But people need to read this. Our gentle author is a gay as you please btw, but he seems to be on of the few gays who GET IT, that the jihadis want to kill him. Along with the non-gay ten years old, of course.

Muslim enclaves and mosques are like brush piles. If you have rats running in and out of them to hide the only right answer is to burn the brush pile.

I bet muslim terrorists will hijack trains, especially fuel laden ones, or an ultra large vessel such as a natural gas ship, and detonate it in New Yorks harbor.

Or just continue with trucks, i’d be on the lookout for any new activity of big rig wrecks that seem suspicious or are hushed up.

Don’t want to wake the sleeping giant so to say.

Feds are in overtime sprinkling sleeping powder on the social media sites.

“The moderate Muslims need our help, not our pity.”

Several months ago there was a piece on FR by a guy who had spent time talking to representatives of each of the groups in Syria. I’m paraphrasing. “The problem the west has is that although some of these groups are milder than the others they all want the same thing. They want to be the only group in control. They believe in the tenants of Islam, which include slavery, beatings, and Sharia law. If any of these groups win there will be a genocide. The only difference is over who gets killed. Anybody who isn’t Muslim will either be killed, enslaved, or reduced to a second class citizen. The victory by any one of these groups, even the so-called “moderates” will be horrendous.”

The problem is they are all Islamic. Islam is a mashup of everything evil in the world. Do we believe that a victory by the Iranian “moderates” would be any different? The reason Iran is now a leading power is not a tribute to Islam. It is a tribute to the truly moderate, secular Shah who educated the entire country and then was betrayed by Jimmy Carter. As for the Syrians, the secular role of the Assad’s was a godsend. True, he had a secret police and they killed people. How else could you control and modernize a country full of people who want to kill everybody else?

Good observations. A complete end to Moslem immigration tomorrow would not do a thing about the 2nd- and 3rd-generation jihadists found both in the U.S. and in Europe.

After all that, the point required was not made....... the killing must begin.

The enemy must be sought out and slain in massive quantaties
