GOP Sen Sasse Delivers Rebuttal To Obama: We Are At War With "Militant","Jihadi"And "Violent Islam"
Breitbart.com ^ | December 7, 2015 | Jeff Poor

Sunday following President Barack Obama’s address to the nation about the threat of terrorism, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) offered his response in video posted to YouTube. Sasse explained that we were not at war with “terrorism,” which he said was a tactic, or that we were at war with “extremism,” which he called an “empty sociological label.” Instead he said the country was at war with definitive types of Islam, but not all Muslims.

This is a quote from USA TODAY - the father of the California terrorist:

“I kept telling him always: stay calm, be patient, in two years Israel will no longer exist,” the elder Farook told the newspaper. “Geopolitics is changing: Russia, China, America too, nobody wants the Jews there.”

I guess the above position is that of the moderate Muslims?

Obama is funny. He can barely say "Islam."

"You know, there is a violent side to every religion, including Is . . . Is. . . . Is that a new Prious I see over there? I mean, Is . . . Is. . . Isn't she lovely? Isn't she beautiful?"

The video of Sasse was about as useless as Obama’s speech.

We watched “Leverage” on CW. Obie is too hard on the BP. Thanks to Freepers who have a higher tolerance for his BS and post the high (or low) points.

Another stupid politician twisting himself into a pretzel, falling all over himself to keep from offending muslims. Well, I’m not a pretzel and I ain’t falling all over myself so I’ll say it clearly: islam is the problem and its muslim adherents need to set up shop somewhere far, far away from America’s shores.

Nidal Malik Hasan (born September 8, 1970) is an American convicted of fatally shooting 13 people and injuring more than 30 others in the Fort Hood mass shooting on November 5, 2009. Muslim.

Tamerlan Anzorovich Tsarnaev, October 21, 1986 – April 19, 2013) and his brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev planted bombs at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013. The bombings killed three people and reportedly injured as many as 264 others. Muslims.

On July 16, 2015, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez opened fire on two military installations in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He first committed a drive-by shooting at a recruiting center, then traveled to a U.S. Navy Reserve center and continued firing, where he was killed by police in a gunfight. Four Marines died on the spot. A Navy Sailor, a Marine recruiter, and a police officer were wounded; the sailor died from his injuries two days later. The motive behind the shootings is currently under investigation. Muslim.

On May 3rd, 2015, Nadir Hamid Soofi and Elton Simpson attempted to storm a cartoon festival in Garland Texas and massacre Americans exercising the first amendment rights in the name of Jihad. Muslims.

On December 2, 2015, 14 people were killed and 21 injured in a mass shooting at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California, United States. Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, a married couple, targeted a San Bernardino County Department of Public Health training event and holiday party of about 80 employees in a rented banquet room. Farook was an American citizen of Pakistani descent, and his wife Malik was a Pakistani-born legal resident of the U.S. The attack was the second-deadliest mass shooting in California after the 1984 San Ysidro McDonald's massacre, and the deadliest in the U.S. since the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.It is the deadliest ISIL-inspired attack in the United States to date. The attack was just 22 days after an ISIL attack in Paris killed 130. Muslims.

...and then there's Paris of course.

Am I the only one who sees a trend here?

You do not NEED to even read the Koran, just look at what the terrorists do.

Yes, actually. The three things even the moderate Muslims seem to want are:

1) US bases out of Saudi Arabia

2) Israel dismantled

3) The entire world under Islamic control and shariah law.

They only differ (or say they do) about the tactics. Many will tell you that they would never commit an act of terrorism, and that is true. But they will give money to organizations that will do it. That's the loophole.

Chechnyan Muslims Tamerlan and brother Dzhokar Tsarnaev made meticulous long-term plans
to plant and explode bombs at the Boston Marathon April 15, 2013. The bombings killed three
and injured some 264 others.

REFERENCE Federal outreach to Muslim American communities a pillar of Obama counter-terrorism strategy
Washington post | 5/25/2013 | ap / FR Posted by tobyhill

Within hours of the Boston Marathon blasts, government officials and Muslims in Boston called each other to offer assistance. These calls were the fruits of years of cultivating such relationships in an effort to ultimately prevent the very type of attack Boston experienced April 15....Representatives from Obama's DOJ and and Homeland Security called Muslim communities to offer support......just in case MUZZIES suffered backlash or threats. (more on FR).

NTL REVIEW/BY DAVID HANSON----The Tsarnaev brothers offer us a teachable moment about what have become near-suicidal US immigration policies not being enforced---that are on the books:

(1) that foreign nationals must at least avoid crime,

(2) stay off public assistance,

(3) that the US is disinclined to grant "asylum" (triggers endless SS checks) to so-called fearful refugees from war-torn Islamic regions,

(4) that force taxpayers to foot the bill for these Muslim types to go back and forth between America and their supposedly "hostile Muslim homelands" on the taxpayers' dime.

Boston bombing survivors were outraged that Tsarnaev family's trip from Muslim Chechnya to the US for the trial was paid for with their tax dollars. That's b/c the US govt mandates that struggling taxpayers foot the bill for these refugees to go back and forth between America and their "supposedly" hostile homelands on the taxpayers' dime.

Taxpayers footed the bills for the entire buck-sucking Tsarnaev's for a long, l-o-n-g time. When these immigrants get to the US they claim "asylum" b/c that triggers endless monthly Social Security checks ......that's just for starters.

=================================================

BACKSTORY Immediately after the Boston bombing, then-Democrat Mass Gov Deval Patrick (hand-picked by Obama as VP Biden's running mate) ordered Massachusetts govt agencies to conceal welfare documents from taxpayers. But sources who saw 500 pages of welfare documents (requested by a state legislator) told News Center 5 that the entire Chechnyan immigrant Tsarnaev family collected upwards of $100,00 tax dollars free and clear. MA taxpayers financed the killing and maiming of their own friends and neighbors.

================================================

MASSACHUSETTS TAXPAYERS WERE UNKNOWINGLY FORCED TO FINANCE THE TSARNEV BROTHERS' DIRTY DEEDS BIGTIME ---After the Boston bombing, Massachusetts Democrat Gov Deval Patrick refused to divulge info WRT massive public assistance to the bomber killers/Chechen immigrants.

But state welfare officials were forced to come clean b/c the info is available to lawmakers. State Rep David Linsky called on the Mass Dept of Transitional Assistance to provide the info..... issuing an ultimatum, giving them 24 hours to provide the info.

The Boston Herald published the state's response: 'My office is working to fully comply with your request,' DTA interim commissioner Stacey Monahan wrote, saying they were only providing a summary 'given the great interest in this matter.'

Chechen immigrants--the bombers' parents----were eligible as legal, non-citizen residents who claimed "asylum" status and met the eligibility criteria for DTA, DTA interim commissioner Stacey Monahan said in a letter to David Linsky, Chairman of the Mass House Post Audit and Oversight Committee.

Multiple state agencies, on orders from Democrat Gov Patrick, refused to comment on the bomber brothers' welfare haul.

<><> WRT Tamerlan receiving UI benefits, Labor dept spokesman Kevin Franck refused to comment....

<><> Univ of Mass-- Dartmouth spokesman Robert Connolly refused to comment on the financial aid app of 19 -year-old soph Dzhokhar. 'It is our position - and I believe the accepted position in higher education - that student records including academic records and financial records (including financial aid) cannot under federal law be released without a student’s consent.'

<><> The FCC would not discuss whether the suspected bombers had govt-paid Obamaphones.

<><> Cambridge housing officials would not comment on if the brothers had Section 8 rental subsidy offered by the HUD to low income households.

<><> Chechen immigrants--the bombers' parents--were legal, non-citizen residents who claimed "asylum" status and met the eligibility criteria for endless SS checks.

<><> In sum, while planning the bombing, the Chechneyan immigrants received every conceivable tax-paid public benefit available out there.

Yes.

That’s moderate mohammedanism.

“Radical” mohammedanism wants to wipe them all out right now.

Trump should have given the so called Republican Response.
He would have given one with Teeth in it and called it like it is.
