U.S. Backed Moderate Rebels Put Alawite Women in Cages to Protect Themselves from Airstrikes
The Arab Source ^ | 11/01/15 | Leith Fadel

Posted on 11/01/2015 11:38:42 AM PST by Enlightened1

In order to deter the Syrian and Russian Air Forces inside the East Ghouta (collection of farms) region of rural Damascus, the U.S. backed moderate rebels from “Jaysh Al-Islam” (Army of Islam) and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) have placed kidnapped Alawite women in cages to protect themselves from airstrikes.

The U.S. backed Syrian Opposition’s social media activists posted the photos of the six kidnapped Alawite women on Twitter, adding their extra commentary that included sectarian insults to degrade the helpless women and taunt the Syrian President Dr. Bashar Al-Assad.

This is not the first time that the U.S. backed moderate rebels have used the Syrian people as human shields in order to deter airstrikes; however, this blatant disregard for human life has contradicted their alleged ethos to protect the Syrian people and put an end to the government of Dr. Bashar Al-Assad.

The six women were not identified by the U.S. backed moderate rebels, but they were described by the aforementioned Islamists as Alawites, per their sectarian insults they directed towards the kidnapped civilians.

Last month, the U.S. backed moderate rebels posted pictures that displayed their fighters posing with the mutilated heads of deceased Syrian soldiers; these pictures were followed with multiple videos from the Islamists that contained death threats to the Alawite Muslims of Syria.

MNO ONE who confesses voting for Willard has any business using the word “we” to encompass himself and actual conservatives. You are an ideological treasonweasel and most certainly NOT a conservative.

Nope I am perfectly humane. I advocate their very own method. Starvation. It was good enough for Terri Schaivo and it is beautiful and euphoric they tell us. So I will take them at their word. I don’t wish to offend.

If you have an issue with that, talk to the people that popularized the idea.

Hey snapperhead, looks like you too need to be reminded of traditional and common FR etiquette, which is that if someone does not wish to be *pinged* by another FReeper, it is expected that FReeper will not do so, nothing more and nothing less.

As for Fieldmarshaldj, (not that it's any of your damn business) I certainly do admire him because he was shown himself capable of presenting and expressing his views without the personal rancor and judgmental assumptions which seem to be your stock in trade, simple as that.

I won't keep you now, I know you're a busy soul, scheduling all those trains to the gulags for all the failed and faux conservatives on your purge list.

Don't overwork yourself Commissar.

The typical drama queen ranting.

BTW, are Sarah Palin and Mark Levin “ideological treasonweasels”? They both advocated voting for Romney over Obama.

Is that what Jessup did? He didn't explain the difference between voting for Romney and voting "against" Obama in 2012?

Interesting. My question was straightforward, simple, totally devoid of anger, rancor, judgmentalism, snark, "vitriol," personal attack, and all the other things Jessup falsely says I have done in my posts to him. Oh well, it was a rhetorical question in any case, as Jessup well knows the answer is "Zip." But I decided to skip his posts along the same reasoning that one tunes out a neighbor's dog that barks at nothing.

Voting "against" only means that the person claiming he did so, wants to avoid being accountable for what he voted for.

Yes. ANYONE who supported the monster Romney for WHATEVER excuse qualified as an ideological treasonweasel. When sinners repent, they may be forgiven. Palin and Levin have repented as you and the handful of Romney love slaves here have not. You were weak. You were cowardly. You want to make believe otherwise but any genuine conservative can see right through your false pose.

Even the nearly divine Ms. Palin and my favorite talk show host Mark Levin covered themselves in craven shame when they urged others to vote for the monster Romney. Palin has apparently retroactively admitted as much. If you listen to Levin, he is quite clear that any support he lent to the fantasy of "voting against" the boogieman Obozo by voting FOR the moral monster Romney is something he feels shame over.

Meanwhile you post is typical party hack shamelessness and absolute hypocrisy as you pose as "conservative." That word has real meaning and it is certainly not the likes of ideologically compromised and sissified YOU!

You are, of course, beneath contempt in your hypocrisy and your status as an ideological treasonweasel in your continued enthusiasm for your vote FOR the monster Romney three years after the sorry POS was destroyed in the 2012 election. You have as much capacity for confessing your sins against conservatism as Vladimir Putin or Willard or Obozo has in admitting their respective cornucopiae of evils.

Why don't you do us all a favor and ask that your account here be ended. You won't be missed and you will be more comfortable by far at HuffPo or DU as an honest and PUBLIC leftist than you could possibly be imitating a "conservative" on the internet. As others have said, it must really suck to be you. The Alaska choo choo will be leaving from track 13 at 3 this afternoon. Bring your bikini and be on it and put conservatives out of the misery of your phony pose as an offended "conservative" who only voted for monster Romney to thwart the boogieman, sooner than if you bring your overcoat.

Also, I don't remember being told by you not to ping you. OTOH, if you scrawl your ideological obscenities on your outhouse wall in opposition to other posters, you have no right to expect the final word just because you say so. And speaking of FR etiquette, that includes pinging others to whom one refers in one's posts. Got any other gag orders you would like to issue? Does anybody care?

Well said, Black Elk! I am convinced now that Norm is right, mkjessup is among those who claim to be "conservatives" but who actually want what politicians like Romney have to offer. mkjessup, if he/she really is in the Republican party, needs to either join the Democrat party OR ...

... OR (and this is the more realistic and difficult likelihood) we conservatives, including politicians running for office, need to abandon the Republican party now. As long as the Republican party is home to the likes of Mitt Romney and Mitch McConnell, then it is a dangerous party for conservatives to belong to.

Obama the capitalism-hating, liberty-hating, America-hating Marxist must be destroyed!!

Aug 20, 2012 | Jim Robinson


Obama the capitalism-hating, liberty-hating, America-hating, godless Marxist/communist must be completely destroyed politically!! To allow him another term in the presidency would be to allow the total destruction of America.

As much as I detest what the Republican party has become, there is no other party on this earth that can come anywhere close to accomplishing what must be accomplished to keep America from spiraling down a Marxist/communist toilet.

Obama and his Marxist government must not only be defeated, they must be crushed and totally destroyed!! We must pray that God Almighty Himself moves Heaven and Earth to rid our government of this unholy, filthy, communist scum that has infested the democrat party, our government and our society!! And we know that God will not do that. He leaves these earthly tasks to us. It's OUR country and if we wish to keep it, we must move the mountains ourselves and do whatever it takes with whomever we have to get the job done!!

America will NOT go down without a fight!! Free Republic will not standby and do nothing while Obama destroys everything we hold dear!!

Damn Romney and his RINO history! Damn the GOPe for making this fight twice as hard as it should be! ANY Republican with a halfway decent record would crush Obama like the vermin he is. Well by God, if it has to be Romney, that SOB better grow a pair and he'd better get his butt in gear and fight like there's no tomorrow, because there's not!! This is do or die time!! And Rove had better turn out to be at least half as smart as he thinks he is. He engineered it. Now by golly, make it HAPPEN!! And our friends Hannity, Coulter, Rush, Levin, et al, had better start cranking it up another notch. The tea party is ready to rumble. The tea party sweeps of 2010 was just a warm-up for the tea party flood of 2012 that's going to wash America clean of godless communist/unionist scum from sea to shining sea.

We are going to send that paper hanging SOB packing and then we're going to rip out all his Marxist B/S by the roots and fumigate the ground so it can never grow again!!

All Republicans, independents, grassroots conservatives, tea party members, moderates, Reagan democrats, Christians, Jews, life, family, liberty, decency-loving patriots of any stripe must work like the blazes for the next couple of months and then turnout on election day and drag their friends, relatives and co-workers to the polls to vote that communist bastard and as many godless, liberty-hating, capitalism-hating, God-hating, liberal progressive, corrupt Marxist communists bastards the hell OUT as is humanly possible!!

We'll deal with Romney and the RINOS later.

Let the wailing and weeping commence. I've spent the last sleepless night over this miserable situation that I'm going to spend. I love America, Life and Liberty too much to let it fail.

Praying with all my might that this is in accordance to God's will and plan. God works in mysterious ways.

May God bless and save America.

All Glory be to God.

In Jesus name we pray.

Amen.

Make it happen.

And Republicans listen up. When we elect you, we don't want any pussyfooting around. No backsliding. No deals. No compromises. We're sending you up there to do a job. And it's not to maintain the status quo. It's cut, baby, cut!! We must tame the beast and restore our Liberty!! And our jobs!!

CUT THE SPENDING ALREADY!! CUT THE GOVERNMENT ALREADY!! RESTORE LIBERTY!!

And you will find in that thread, hundreds upon hundreds of sincere FReepers who were just as agonized over having to make such a decision, they did not make it lightly, but they made a choice AGAINST OBAMA, which is exactly what our Founder did, and I understand exactly why he made that decision, and so do all of those posters who lined up behind him as did I.

So if I were you (thank God I'm not), I would re-think this conservative jihad you and your pals continue to engage in, it accomplishes nothing except to castigate good and decent FReepers who made the best choice they could, given the situation facing them. That battle is over and done with now, and I challenge you to find any one of those FReepers in that thread that is promoting Romney this election cycle, I doubt you can.

Q - Who benefits from the condemnation and discord that you are sowing among your fellow FReepers?

A - Only your insufferable ego and the GOPe, and the 'RATS, that's who.

Now go dig up and post the post where he said he’d made a mistake that came later.

But ultimately it doesn’t matter. One man has one opinion. Doesn’t matter who that man is here. The only things that matter are facts and the fact is that All the votes Romney got empowered the left in the GOP. We have seen and discussed the results across this thread and every other on FR.

Most people have recanted their support and accepted they made a mistake. Thats why we see all the “Never Again” posts. your mindset lost the debate. The people that refuse to admit their problem deserve all the grief coming their way, AND WILL GET IT, because they are the enemy within Hamilton told us were better in their own camp than ‘ours’.

Simple math sport. You arent wiser than Alexander Hamilton, Nor is anyone else on FR.

How about you go find that post? It supports what you're asserting, go get it.

Once more Norm, 'hindsight is always 20/20'. What you and your ideologically pure pals fail to understand is that NOBODY in 2012 chose to vote the GOP ticket because they liked it, or supported Romney as a candidate, they voted it because (as our Founder stated so well) NOT to do anything and everything possible to stop and remove Obama from office was completely unacceptable.

Most people have recanted their support and accepted they made a mistake.

Is that what all this is about Norm? You and Blackelk and all the rest of the 'Defenders' want to be sure everyone RECANTS and ADMITS they made a MISTAKE? Is that what you want to hear, is that the goal of your little Inquisition going on around here? You want to hear it from me?

"OK, supporting the GOP in 2012 was a mistake and I am not, nor have I ever been a member of, or belonged to the GOPe"

Does that make it all ok now?

Thats why we see all the “Never Again” posts. your mindset lost the debate. The people that refuse to admit their problem deserve all the grief coming their way, AND WILL GET IT, because they are the enemy within Hamilton told us were better in their own camp than ‘ours’.

Attention all FReepers!!! Certificates of Regret, Recantation and Confession of Mistakes will be made available from yours truly, MkJessup, FReepmail me for your Certificate to be presented at your next Interrogation and Inquisition from the 'Defenders of the Conservative Faith'(c), why get your fingernails pulled out? Why be condemned as useless by our ideological betters? Get your FREE Certificate TODAY!!

Simple math sport. You arent wiser than Alexander Hamilton, Nor is anyone else on FR.

And you and Blackie do NOT have the market cornered on true conservatism.

You DO however (as I see it) have the market cornered on conceit and insufferable egos.

You dug up his original statements, so you go dig up the one that blows your argument to hell as well.

I don’t remotely care what you think about my ego. Facts are the issue, not Normie’s ego. I get that a lot of you detest the ground I walk on because I refuse to back down to your lesser evil BS. What you can’t and never have been able to do is rebut me on the facts. So you bitch about my ego.

Trust me skippy, my ego is bigger than you ever want to see. But that’s not what the issue is here at all is it. The issue is that voting for an America hating idiot to replace another America hating idiot led directly to a whole bunch of America hating idiots taking over and destroying the viability of the GOP.

And it happened because yet ANOTHER group of America hating idiots stomped their feet across every path open to them screaming NO MATTER WHAT!!! And now Grumpycat haZ a sadZ because he got exactly what he voted FOR.

La de freaking DA.

No get off your lesser evil tail and fix what you helped break rather than crying about big bad Normie’s ego.

Well golly Norm, sounds like I hit a nerve. This IS about your ego. You need validation, you need others to nod their heads and say "yep, ol' Norm is sure right about that", and *surprise* - I HAVE in fact agreed with you in the past on many things, is that ok with you Sparky? (one 'skippy' = one 'sparky', fyi)

However you seem to be a bit confused now, because my finding JimRob's post from August 2012 wasn't at all that difficult, but why should I find his post where you allege that he recanted his decision and position from Aug 2012? If such a post exists and supports you, get up off your lazy duff and find it yourself, don't expect others to do your grunt work for you.

Everyone and their dog understands now that the Republican ticket in 2012 was a loser, both literally and in content. I remind you too, that in 2012 there were many FReepers who greeted the selection of Paul Ryan as Romney's VP choice with celebration and approval, this was long before Ryan revealed himself as the RINO we know he is now. Are you and your *Defenders* going to go after anyone who expressed such approval for Ryan too?

Let us unfurl the banner of Conservative Ideological Purity and shout *FORWARD*, you Defenders will lead the way I'm sure.

If you are so worried about my ego, why are you playing right into it? Because I gotta tell you. I LIKE watching people making fools of themselves; and refusing to present the whole issue when it spikes their own argument does that in spades.
