Obama: ‘We’ are to blame, not Islamic terrorism, for massacre

Obama: ‘We’ are to blame, not Islamic terrorism, for massacre

Omar Mateen called the cops to pledge his fealty to ISIS as he was carrying out his mass murderer in Orlando early Sunday morning. Twelve hours later, the president of the United States declared that “we have no definitive assessment on the motivation” of Omar Mateen but that “we know he was a person filled with hate.”

So I guess the president thinks Mateen didn’t mean it?

Here again, and horribly, we have an unmistakable indication that Obama finds it astonishingly easy to divorce himself from a reality he doesn’t like — the reality of the Islamist terror war against the United States and how it is moving to our shores in the form of lone-wolf attacks.

He called it “terror,” which it is. But using the word “terror” without a limiting and defining adjective is like a doctor calling a disease “cancer” without making note of the affected area of the body — because if he doesn’t know where the cancer is and what form it takes, he cannot attack it effectively and seek to extirpate it.

So determined is the president to avoid the subject of Islamist, ISIS-inspired or ISIS-directed terrorism that he concluded his remarks with an astonishing insistence that “we need the strength and courage to change” our attitudes toward the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.

That’s just disgusting. There’s no other word for it.

ABC identifies the islamic terrorist as "an American citizen and a resident of Florida," noting that although he was in contact with ISIS, "he had no plans for terrorism".

Un-effing-believable!

>We will NOT stand still for that.

‘WE’? Aside from Trump, whom else is taking up the banner?

Whom else is calling B.S. to the ‘hate crime’ vs. MORE ‘gun-control’ vs. Islam?

Aside from crickets from the (R)NC, DT is the ONLY voice telling it like it is...

Much more obviously odungo is wholly to blame for issuing his presidental proclaimation declaring June to be Gay Pride Month in the same month his muslim brethren observe their unholy month of ramadanadingdong. That had to have ruffled some imam, ayatollah type feathers.

John Podhoretz doesn't get it.

The reason Obama and Hillary don't use the term 'Radical Islamic Terrorism' is because both of them want to lump Islamic terrorist WITH the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. I kid you not John Podhoretz... one of you reporter types needs to ask Hillary... or Obama. They see an equivalence. Any laws to use against one group can then be used against another. And they do the defining.

What's an 'extremist'?

It's someone who disagrees with 'the Establishment'. That will become the definiton. It's a totalitarian. It's change in language to create a new reality. It'll work... if we're not careful exposing it.

I agree. I read the whole article. I couldn’t “quite” come up with the wording as it appears in the headline. If we’re going to pursue this we’d better have our ducks in a row. It seems a bit of a stretch.

"So true the elected officials do not care. Odumbo the problem is that we have easy access to guns. Omar Security Guard with permit to carry a gun/ Duh Odumbo the guy pledges his allegiance to ISIL. Terrorism is not the Fault. It is the American people. Hey odumbo do America a favor go sit on a roadside explosive so the last thing that go through your mind is your excrement!" (sic)

You have claimed (among other dubious things) to be a Marine Translator. That is in addition to your multiple post graduate degrees. My question to you would be this:

Is it not customary to have a grasp of English before acquiring such status?
Aren't translators and scholars normally conversant in their Mother Tongue?

Or is this just another one of your false claims ... like your false claim of being wounded in the line of duty?

There was a report earlier with a guy who worked with the shooter.

He said that Mateen was on the company radar for running around talking his Islam chit but the company wouldn't do anything for fear of being perceived as "Islamophobes".

Yeah, this played out lots better this way. /s

wrong, Obozo, “we” are not to blame, don’t include me in your self-aggrandizing weepy blame-shifting

Radical Islam is to blame, along with its enablers and supplicants, including weak minded treasonous DemocRAT scum like you and Shrillary

but leave me out of your “we” bc I have nothing to do with it
