THIS is the speech that should terrify every American.

Senator Tim Sheehy just dropped the most brutal, unfiltered truth about Iran you’ll ever hear.

For 47 years the Iranian regime has been hunting us — vaporizing Marines, skinning Americans alive on camera, cutting our troops in half with EFPs, and celebrating every death.

They don’t care who you voted for. They don’t care where you live. They want every single one of us raped, burned, and cut into pieces. This isn’t politics.

This is a death cult that has been at war with America since 1979… and we’ve been pretending otherwise. Watch the full speech. Every. Single. Second. Then share it.

Because the regime that did this to our brothers is still standing. Iran has never paid the real price. It’s time they do.

I think we can address the issue you point out by formulating immigration policies, how we utilize our IC and in particular federal law enforcement, in a way that looks at risks and trends without violating the individuals civil rights.

There is a systemic problem in that religion which we in the West, especially from the left, choose to ignore.

We should NOT do as Obama did, re-prioritize IC and law enforcement based on some personal and subjective view. He over-rode an analytic process using statistics, probabilities, and weighted averages because of his personal philosophy and more likely pandering to certain electorate groups.

I would argue, to your point, that someone like Obama “set the stage” for what happened at the Boston Marathon Bombing in 2013: https://www.fbi.gov/history/cases-and-criminals/boston-marathon-bombing.

You can’t even blame the senior folks (SSA - DAD) at the FBI for this, except for Comey because he was part of the political fray. These are macro level organizational steering changes.

6 years prior, if you had 2 Muslim Chechen brothers in the US, engaged in some nasty communications, we had been warned by the Russians (they have an intel presence in Chechnya and worked with us back then), we would have dug into these guys far more invasive and aggressively (using FISA authority).

But in 2013 the GWOT was over, Obama ended that in March 2009, and even resource allocation went towards things like white collar crime and civil rights especially since there was a huge concern with fraud as Obama opened the flood gates on federal spending: health care, food stamps, cell phones, a plethora of environmental programs... (he’s probably not wrong).

Sure, on the official FBI list of priorities terrorism remained #1 back then. However, the truth is manpower and money, how aggressive we proceed in these cases, was all reallocated or toned down.

I agree with you 100% that Islam inherently poses some degree of a threat, may it be through terrorism, the decline of Western society as they bring in their values, or an insider threat because it causes for split loyalties (example): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Witt

But how we proceed is important.

There are also millions of people that are not radical, there is a general trend of opening up and liberalizing in much of the Middle East (I would have never expected such in 2005), and you even have many supporting us or even working on our side. There are many who are loyal Americans or loyal foreign nationals that want to see their country prosper and work with us in places like Iraq, Syria, even Iran...

I do not think it to be wise to reject these people, and if they are American citizens, to violate their rights.

Differentiate.

Don’t over simplify.

But at the same time, even if it pisses off many on the left, use common sense in how resources are allocated regards the threats we face.

Just because there isn’t the will to do it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t and doesn’t need to be done. Iran is an enemy, as they have so clearly told us. Plus, don’t get your crazies mixed up. Don’t confuse a lack of will for ‘sanity’ either. It’s either now or when? What do you expect from Iran? Do you take them at their word? Will you gradually bend to Sharia? Sounds crazy now doesn’t it... are you old enough to remember September 11? And now 25 years later we’ve got a jihadist muslim as mayor of ground zero? What’s crazy if that isn’t?

*************************

I’m 55 years old and remember 9/11 very well.

If you’re unfamiliar with my position on Muslims, let me clarify: I want a complete ban on any immigration from Islamic countries.

I won’t get it because the people that want an eternal war “over there” will make sure they’re “over here” so we can ‘understand’ the Muslim Problem.

Isolating the cancer is easier than draining blood and treasure in Islamic shit holes.

I hold that America has the means and opportunity to stamp out a malignant and concentrated bunch of islamist cultists. It should be done so that the any radical islamists anywhere might think twice about so publicly declaring ‘death to America’, planning to kill Americans, and actually killing America, without consequences. We have the means and opportunity, right now, but not the will. That is crucial. It’s 100% of the victory conditions of islam. This will mark a turning point. It’s only a matter of time that Americans start to bend their behaviors, that the Overton window starts to shift so as not to anger local muslims, which might burst into your place of work and start shooting. Do you think Charlie Hebdo publishes anymore drawings of Muhummad? Think that can’t happen here? Really?
