Here’s the bottom Line: If no major terrorist event happens on Obama’s watch, this term will be sufficient. However, if something significant does happen, President Obama will be piloried for taking the situation too casually. My advice to everyone is to let it go. If nothing happenes, you’ll be thankful you didn’t open your big mouth. If something does happen, it’s on Obama.

Silly, everyone knows that WW II started when we dropped the A-Bomb on Hiro Shima on Dec. 7, 1941. Just ask Obama. Rev. Wright told him so.

I cannot believe that this is happening. This not just left wing liberalism and appeasement, that is total insanity.

This is to distinguish it from the “Domestic Contingency Operations”, i.e., when they round up the bitter clingers to guns, religion, and conservatism and ship us off to the re-education camps.

For some fun acronyms, how about:

Passive Understanding and Socially Sensitive Yielding

World Unity and Sackless Sedition

Wonton Eradication of Armaments and Killing

American Servitude Secured

and,

Failed Understanding of Courage when Kindly Entering Discussions

Just my thoughts.

Liberals believe that they can somehow change the actual character of a thing by calling it something else.

I well remember how some years back, the Los Angeles city council voted to rename the hellhole of South Central Los Angeles to South Los Angeles.

Like calling terrorism a “man made disaster”, changing the name of South Central was somehow supposed to transform the actual nature of that area.

Hell no. Never never let it go. The memories of American heads getting sawed off and burned American bodies hanging from a bridge in Fallujah, must not to be allowed to be called something that can be dealt with as a contingency.

Stand up. Don't be afraid of some stinking libs barking at you, they will do that regardless of what you do or don't do. Never Give In.
