This is exactly why 0bama’s looking the other way.. They’re bad guys to us, good guys to him. Just like the MB in Egypt and Libya. Why was 0bama so hot to get into Libya, but not Syria? His Al Qaeda friends are winning in Syria!

Maybe Osama bin Laden didn’t build it on his own?

I get confused by all of this.

If we have to support the Muzzies, do we want the Sunni’s or the Shiite’s to win?

You are exactly right: Obama has handed Al Queda decisive victories in Yemen, Egypt, and Libya. Now, he is greasing the way for them in Syria.

What makes this particularly dangerous is that while Obama is handing the Mid East to al Queda, his mainstream media lickspittles are falsely informing the American people that his courageous attack on bin Laden has reduced al Queda to a shadow of its former self.

In short, we are being screwed twice over.

Yet, they like for the people to think that the 2012 general election is all about the economy.

What good would a thriving economy be if sharia law were established? The two are mutually exclusive.

IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT THE ECONOMY — IT’S ALL ABOUT FREEDOM.
