How the Democrats Are Disarming Us-By suppressing the truth.
Frontpagemag.com ^ | June 20, 2016 | David Horowitz

Posted on 06/20/2016 5:24:05 AM PDT by SJackson

According to a Gallup poll taken in the week after the atrocity in Orlando, only 29% of Democrats thought this was an Islamic terror attack. Fully 60% of all Democrats attributed the attack to “domestic gun violence.” Moreover 42% of independents felt the same way. Only 44% attributed it to the Islamic holy war that has been declared on America and the West.1

How is this possible? During the massacre, the terrorist himself took pains to post messages declaring that his acts were acts of Islamic terror against America. “Now taste the Islamic state vengeance," one message said. Another warned, “in the next few days you will see attacks from the Islamic state in the USA.”2 Moreover, in the days following the attack a dossier of his behavior and associations going back more than fifteen years showed that he saw himself as a warrior for Islam and a jihadist in the making. The FBI had interviewed him twice – once in 2013 after co-workers reported that he made “inflammatory” comments to them about radical Islamic propaganda, and the following year because of ties with a fellow Muslim who traveled to Syria to become a suicide bomber.

How then could 60% of Democrats and 42% of Independents think that the killings in Orlando had nothing to do with radical Islam or Islamic terror? How could they think it was simply a matter of domestic gun violence similar to other mass shootings by deranged individuals whose motives had nothing to do with Islam or the Islamic state? The reason they could be so misled is because the president himself said it had nothing to do with Islam and warned that thinking it did was a form of bigotry that could hurt America – indeed would be a betrayal of America’s true self. He went out of his way to mock Trump who had said that it was radical Islamic terror, and to insinuate that he was a bigot. The president’s disinformation and attack on Trump were seconded and amplified by the Democratic Party and the Democrat’s kept national media, who spent the days after Orlando pushing gun control legislation, and stressing the shooter’s “instability” and the alleged indeterminacy of his motives. And also tarring Trump as a bigot for taking the shooter at his word.

In this we have a microcosm of why all eight domestic terror attacks on Obama’s watch – beginning with the Fort Hood massacre and the Boston Marathon bombing – were carried out by individuals on the FBI’s radar who could have been stopped if the early warning signs of their commitments to the Islamic jihad hadn’t been dismissed.

Political correctness is a euphemism for the active, ideologically motivated denial that has characterized the Democrats’ approach to Islamic terror going back to the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993. In that attack 1,000 people were wounded and six were killed, but president Clinton refused to visit the site, while his administration took the view that the perpetrators were merely individuals who needed to be tried in criminal courts. In fact, they were soldiers in a holy war that radical Islamists had declared against America and the West. 3

Obama’s main concern, which has been manifest in his statements after each incidence of Islamic terror, has been to absolve the Islamists of any responsibility for the attacks. The Ft. Hood massacre was carried out by a disciple of Anwar al-Awlaki, the head of al-Qaeda in Libya, who described himself as a “Muslim Soldier” even though he was a Major in the U.S. army, and said his murders were to avenge the Muslims that America had killed in Afghanistan. Yet the Obama administration dismissed his terrorist act as “workplace violence.” The Obama administration has expunged all references to Islam from terrorist guidelines. Worse it has enjoined the FBI from looking at the religious affiliations and commitments of potential suspects. This is the way the FBI was able to dismiss the warnings from Russian intelligence agents about the Boston Marathon bombers, who were Islamist militants. It is how American immigration officials allowed the Pakistani-born San Bernardino shooter to enter the country, despite her residence in a country that created the Taliban and protected Osama bin Laden, and her association with a terrorist mosque.

This denial is also what has allowed Obama to respond to the Orlando massacre by issuing a million visas to Syrian Muslims, who will not be adequately vetted and will flood this country with individuals whose ranks ISIS and other Islamic terrorist groups have already infiltrated and who may be sympathetic to radical Islamic agendas in very large numbers.4

Obama’s denial of the religious nature of the war that Islamic radicals have declared on America and his ability to require the FBI and other first responders to join in this denial is a form of unilateral disarmament paralleled by his determination to reduce America’s defense forces to their lowest levels since World War II. This denial – shared by the Democratic Party - is why we are losing the war with Islamic fanatics, and why the homeland has become an increasingly dangerous place.

. That Obama is able to seduce a very large number of Americans into sharing his denial is fact with ominous implications for the election in November, and for America’s ability to right its current dangerous course. Obama has been abetted in this sinister effort by the feckless leadership of the Republican Party. In the days following the Orlando massacre instead of hammering the president and the Democrats as a unified force, Republicans directed their fire at Donald Trump, joining Democrats in attempting to discredit not only his much needed warning, but his practical recommendations for turning the ship of state around: recognize the religious nature of the war against us; halt immigration from Muslim war zones until a proper vetting process is in place; surveil mosques and other recruitment centers for the jihadist enemy; restore America’s military power.

The self-serving anti-Trump salvos from Paul Ryan and other misguided Republican leaders made the Republican message – gun violence is not the problem, radical Islam is – incoherent or at least so diluted as to allow Obama and the Democrats to prevail in the debate. If the Orlando post-mortem is an indication, the election may not go well in November. If that is the case not only Donald Trump, but America’s hopes for a safer future, will fail.

Ive discovered that, politically, I’m complefely out of touch with American culture. I now see it “as from the outside”. Even here on FR I’m out of touch and was actually temp banned (for a week) for posting against Trump.

The good news is that I know why: I’ve not had TV in my home since 1997. I’ve not been subjected to the propaganda that affects EVERYONE subjected to that monster on a regular basis.

And one of the reasons I don’t see a happy ending to our woes is because of what I DO see on the rare occasions I’m exposed to it.

Rather, what has happened in Orlando has handed the election to Mr. Trump. For example, those folks who would have gone Dem are leaving the Dems in droves. Also more folks are supporting policy ideas that Mr. Trump has presented. This could very well be a much better week for him.

In our cases, we come from our core values, rather than the propaganda we’ve been fed.

The mainstream news media lie so much that they create a false reality. The main way they lie is by suppressing truth.

The media hide that the shooter was a Muslim so that people will think this is an American Christian committing domestic gun violence against gays. And many sheep believe that.

Look at the movie the Matrix. The media creates the matrix a false reality where a Muslim massacring for Islam becomes an American Christian angry white male(which he certainly was not). The media then uses that terrorist act to take away our gun rights.

The media make it a gun issue instead of what it is Islamic terrorism which points to the Islamic threat. So the media makes guns the issue not the threat which is Islam. So why don't they ban planes or pressure cookers as Muslims have used planes to murder 3000 Americans on 9/11 and cookers in the Boston Marathon Massacre .So the threat are not planes, pressure cookers nor guns but Islam /Muslims .

the media twists reality so much that it gets democrats screaming for gun control. But if Muslims didn't have guns they'd find other ways to kill as we found ou on 9/11 and other times. the media causes 99% of the problems we have . If you keep looking at a problem you will see that

At some point you have to ask if These are intelligence failures or sabotage successes by Islamist infiltrators led by the chief enemy of the US in the WH.

Hey, Hilliarily/Iman Obama, look at a mirror and at the faces of your inner circle to see who is responsible for Islamic Terrorism in America! It is not Trump's fault nor the NRA's fault!

ISIS has no Navy, no boats, no ships, no submarines. They have no Air Force, no bombers, no jet fighters, no troop carriers or refueling planes. ISIS has no ballistic missiles, no scuds, no short range missiles. They have no Space Program, no satellites, no real time intelligence.

THE ONLY WEAPON SYSTEMS ISIS HAS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS ARE THE OBAMA/CLINTON/JARRETT/LYNCH/ DHS SECY JEH JOHNSON + the TRAITORS & DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS, FAUX News, ABCNNBCBS, Washington Compost, Ny Slimes, WHO DEMAND WE ALLOW MUSLIMS TO IMMIGRATE TO AMERICA TO SLAUGHTER INNOCENT AMERICANS.

Then, they try to disarm us to make us more vulnerable.

That might be true if the media didn’t hide that the shooter was a Muslim and a terrorist.

The media creates the matrix.

The media hides that he was a Muslim to hide the threat and the problem which is Islam . So the media hiding the threat Islam them can make guns the problem which it is not . the threat is Islam. The media lie lie and lie again .Most democrtrats and half of independents believe didn’t know this was Islamic terrorism.

Actually, the Matrix is a copy of Plato’s Cave. Goes back 2500 years ago and it was WELL KNOWN that whomever controls the Words/Images you see (like in the Natural Family pre-TV) will control your “Worldview”. Our media was mainly controlled by a few sodomite psychopaths for over 100 years-—to destroy Virtue formation in children and destroy intellectual development and create an artificial “reality” so that all the masses would be easily controlled and addicted to their products (destroys Self-Reliance and thinking for oneself).

The super psychopathic sodomites (Satanists/Lucifereans) took over the Minds of the Masses with Edward Bernays and control of all MSM—Media control and school textbook control, so they could plant the disinformation and warped textbooks to control your child’s worldview to destroy Virtue formation.

Children raised out of the Natural Family (Loving Father absence will destroy and emasculate the boys and make girls hate males)——all to “Kill God” (Christianity) to collapse culture (the Natural Family/concept of male/female to destroy Natural Instincts in children (collapse the Middle Class) so they could herd the masses as cattle-—and control all our movement/kill us/whatever-—for their Malthusian, Darwinian NWO. The elites make themselves god-—our ruler and master—no Individual Natural Rights from God (Our Constitution has to be destroyed).

I think, too, the Orlando terrorist attack handed the campaign to Trump. Hilary and O are doing major damage control, including mostly spreading lies and hiding the Truth.

That is why Mr. Trump is going to have to hit the Dems hard in response.

So you'd be okay with Hillary? That IS the other choice???/

I wasn't for Trump AT ALL - until it got down to him - now I am wholeheartedly trumpeting for him. Indeed, even thinking maybe he's the best choice for what we need now - better than the others...because he is NOT part of the Washington Cartel - and won't be appointing insiders of that Cartel, who are, mostly, also charter members of the Yale/Harvard Cartel.

This may be the only shot we get at weeding out - indeed, sweeping out with a broad broom - the self-serving, hitched at the hip insiders who have long ago lost all cognizance of the government structure our Founding Fathers set up.

Praying hard that the stiff-neckers will climb down off their high horses and vote for OUR COUNTRY...

Blaming TV on everyone else’s ability to understand Trump is bogus since I don’t watch TV and understand his pro-American stance. Liberals tend to think they know everything, but, buddy, you don’t.
