With nearly a year in office, we now know without doubt exactly where our own president stands on vital national security matters. He has a track record and has shown his true colors over and over again.
In Honduras, he picked the side of the dictator-wannabe without hesitation. He has used every diplomatic weapon at his disposal to destroy the constitutional democracy in Honduras, even cutting off financial aid and blocking diplomatic visas. He went the full gamut of meddling there and made no bones about it.
He moved to cancel long-planned missile defense shields for Poland and the Czech Republic, alerting Russia that he is not going to put up a fight to preserve freedom in former Soviet bloc countries. He even made a point of denying Berliners his presence on the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Our president sends clear signals when it comes to wimping out on the friends of liberty.
With our sister state Israel the only functioning democracy in the Middle East and the only non-Islamic country, Barack Obama and our Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, have been forceful bullies, demanding up-front, dangerous concessions from Israel, while securing no concessions whatsoever from any of its enemies. While Israel fights for her very existence, President Obama deigns to chit-chat with the Iranian Hitler-act-alike. What signal could be clearer?
President Obama doesn't want to be seen as "meddling" in the affairs of another nation if that nation is Muslim. Hence his reticence in any verbal support for the protesters in Iran. Yet he meddles both in public and behind the scenes nonstop against Israel.

Today, blood is boiling all over America, but apparently not at the White House. Ice water in the president's veins, perhaps? Or passion reserved only for our enemies?
This whole conundrum leaves a sane person speechless.
Their defeat is hinged on using thier own tactics, Alinsky and others, against them. It is time for the intentionally blind, misguided followers of the messiah in the media to step up and be heros and help save this country. yeah sure! Prove us wrong!
Violence doesn't bother 0ba-Mao when it serves his agenda.
This is very disturbing , where is the rest of congress (besides Demint) demanding answers?
MIA apparently.
“I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”
If this is the congressional oath of office in the US, aren’t many of the members committing treason by visiting Castro after the attempt on Kennedy, and isn’t the president doing that by talking to Ahmadinnerjacket and SapoToro Chavez?
Is this only obvious to outsiders studying the US?
It is simple for us to say we are a backward and struggling country and then simply say to terrorists, separatists, stay out of our country, but fortunately that is also common sense.
Why invite enemies to your party? Democracy is so fragile and the 7 vices rail against it constantly, that opening your special society to those who want to destroy it is asking for suffering. Who can keep every drunk at a party from making a scene? Who can follow every enemy invited into your country? ICE needs a policy that discerns the poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free and escape oppression from the disenchanted misfits of upper middle class muslim families that are sent to the US for babysitting since they never received useful guidance about morals in their country, and then are brainwashed by idiot imams that unbelievably are allowed to preach hatred within the country that protects their right to do so. Irony or stupidity? I think here we’d ask them to leave, it is clear that what happened in Texas was a hate crime. Who supervises the supervisors? Clearly, nobody wanted to offend the Muslim before he blew people away. Sad lesson. A lot of psychologists go into that field since “they don’t get people” and “want to self diagnose” so again, there is an element of the blind leading the blind there.
Argh! AAAARRRGH!!!! If in the military, a spade can’t be called a spade, the foundation is floating away.
My family is 1/2 and 1/2 in Honduras and the US, and I have to say, in principles, morals and feeling secure about the stability of the future, I actually for the first time ever am more optimistic about Honduras than the USA. That’s a terrible thing to say, but our example, the country needs to go into political/motivational rehab. If the president can’t say “terrorist” or “jihadist” then what the holy hell is his moral standard to judge anything?
Well, I don't know about that. It depends on the circumstances and the purpose. But I think I agree with the rest of your post. I am pretty discouraged about America's prospects going forward. Looks like we're heading for decades long economic stagnation or worse. Heavy handed authoritarianism and potentially severe and widespread crime.
“Their defeat is hinged on using thier own tactics, Alinsky and others, against them. “
This is a war. The GOP had better be ready to fight it, or get the hell out of the way.
“I actually for the first time ever am more optimistic about Honduras than the USA. That’s a terrible thing to say, but our example, the country needs to go into political/motivational rehab.

Well stated!
Well I hope my comment disses a lot of folks but here it goes, I am supporting ethnic cleansing of our society, but in a manner thats not barbaric.
How many years and how many times will it take before people get it through their thick skulls that Islam is invading our society to control it, there ultimate loyalty is mandated by Islamic teachings no matter how much they pledge allegiance.
Its ALL about loyalty from the POTUS on down.
America can still be the land of the free by defending it from those that want to kill freedom, Islam preaches against our constitution, and they will not change.
I know ethnic means other than religious beliefs but in this case it somewhat describes what we need to do in America, clean it of Islam.
This from 2004 Suck It Up, Buttercup
Via Captain’s Quarters, who writes today about an article where “Muslim-Americans are complaining about their feelings being hurt by most American’s attitude toward their religion.”
The source of the religion (the Koran) has very serious contradictions in it. It does call for peace; but it also calls on faithful Muslims to kill infidels. Islam has not been able to bring itself out of the 17th century. Part of its problem is that any punk can become an Iman or “holy man” and all develop their own following and interpretation of the Koran (and the Koran is open to many, many interpretations). There is no centralization or concensus on what the essence of the religion is. Some claim “jihad” is an internal and individual struggle; others—well, you know how others interpret it. And, the most distressing thing to me is that American Muslims (and Canadian, and European etc.), who live in a free country and could begin to question and debate these issues don’t. There is the quality of playing the sheep that is encouraged in this religion. Dissent is not tolerated. Instead of beginning to question the extremists of their religion, American Muslims appear to spend most of their time worrying about how their countrymen view their religion. Instead of condemning the violent actions of these extremists, American Muslims invite them to speak in their mosques. Instead of taking responsibility for their religion and what it is doing in the world, American Muslims are well on their way to parleying their status into “victimhood” and are demanding that they not be subjected to having their feelings hurt. Well, as Captain Ed says so eloquently above, “Suck it up, buttercup.” I’m ready to live and let live —but only when I know that your religion stands on the side of civilization, freedom and individual rights (including women’s rights). You will be the equal of Christianity and Judaism (and any other religion) when you have condemned the evil within your ranks and expunged it from your religious tracts and schools. Until then, don’t expect much respect from me. - Dr. Sanity
