Obama Administration Whitewashes Islamic Jihad
Horowitz NewsRealBlog ^ | April 8, 2010 | Joseph Klein

Apparently, the new buzz phrase in the Obama administration to describe our fight against radical Islamic terrorism is "countering violent extremism." Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair used the catch-phrase twice in a speech he delivered yesterday.

Notice that there is no reference to the source of most of the terrorist "violent extremism" around the world today - radical Islam. This "soft power approach" is deliberately designed to avoid offending the Muslim world - an extension of Obama's apologia last June in Cairo during which he told Muslims how sorry the United States was for all of the supposed wrongs we committed against them.

Obama is working his way up to ignore islamic terrorism -- where the terrorists themselves declare is perpterated in the name of Islam, and focus on the "dangerous right wing extremists" who dare exercise their first amendment rights, even though they are not the ones blowing up planes or flying them into buildings.

Obama has no problem offending Americans, but he is going out of his way to not offend Muslim terrorists.

“There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of
Pharaoh — get first all the people’s money, then their lands, and then make them and
their children servants forever. It will be said that we do not propose to establish kings. I
know it. But there is a natural inclination in mankind to kingly government. It sometimes
relieves them from aristocratic domination. They had rather have one tyrant than 500. It
gives more the appearance of equality among citizens, and that they like. I am
apprehensive — therefore — perhaps too apprehensive — that the government of these
States may in future times end in a monarchy [not called a monarchy but an executive
with monarchial powers]. But this catastrophe, I think, may long be delayed, if in our
proposed system we do not sow the seeds of contention, faction and tumult, by making
our posts of honor places of profit. If we do, I fear that, though we employ at first a
number and not a single person, the number will in time be set aside, it will only nourish
the fetus of a king (as the honorable gentleman from Virginia very aptly expressed it),
and a king will the sooner be set over us.”

-- Benjamin Franklin

"...our fight against radical Islamic terrorism is "countering violent extremism."

....and you think anyone in Obama's administration is going to stop the Drug War now ongoing on our Southern border? Is anyone going to investigate those who are cuing up for the flash-flood of amnesty? Hispanic gangs far worse than their American cousins will spill the blood of innocent Americans, wreck towns, schools etc. while Pelosi's mindless wonders, march lock step towards lawlessness.

Imagine a war in San Francisco between MS-13 and the Village People.

As far as I am concerned - this whole “Obama” thing is over. They are finished and they don’t even realize it yet. Have you ever seen a movie that involved sword fights? Sometimes one of the fighters will get his head cut off and the body remains standing for a little while longer. The Obama administration is like that - he’s still basking in his pride and he hasn’t yet realized that his fall has already begun. These actions he/they have taken to damage this country will not stand. I would like to see everyone who was ever involved in: SDS/WeatherUnderground/Prairie Fire (that initial group that plotted treason against this country - including Jane Fonda and her ex-husband Tom Haydn who was a member of SDS) and their more recent followers, without regard to their ethnicity - tried and executed for treason agains this country. I would very much appreciate the gift of watching William Ayers hang.

"countering violent extremism."

A catch-all phrase to include Islamic extremists as well as the right wing of this country.

Hence his desire to have a national police force.

It has nothing to do with a "softer stance". It has to do with a subliminal warning to right-wingers.

“I think Obama IS an Islamic terrorist.”

If one supports terrorism it makes them a terrorist. Obama fits the profile.

100% wrong. Zero has NO interesting in fighting radical Islamic terrorism. To him, “violent extremism” means Christians (esp conservative ones) and TEA partiers. Seriously.

Muslims will be offended that their efforts are being given short shrift this way.

I hope and pray you are right, and Obama’s regime will be over shortly. However, they have been working on overthrowing our government for over 100 years. The Communist Party USA began voting for Democrat presidential candidates in about 1986 instead of having their own nominee. I believe Obama will create a crisis and declare martial law before November elections if he senses he will lose. He will use the resulting disturbances/civil unrest and his power as Chairman of the U.N. Security Council and dictator of Congress to transfer our sovereignty to the U.N. and send its troops to restore order. I believe no one, especially Congress, the military, and SC will try to stop him except patriots in a bloody civil war. In fact, I believe the Democrat Congress, military and judges have already been promised government posts in the new United Socialist States of America. I hope I am wrong and these traitors will be arrested and executed ASAP before the bloodshed.

I think things are falling apart faster than they expected and before they got all of the control mechanisms fully in place. That’s why Obama always seems like he is rushing. He has a set time frame within which to get it down. He has failed. He’ll lose control of Congress after November. He knows the public is more than a little pissed. Soon he will be spending more time worried about his own safety rather than finishing the dictatorship foundational plans.

That’s one thing about pissing off large groups of people - anything can happen and often does. The Democrats are really desperate to maintain control of Blacks right now. If large numbers of Blacks find out the truth - chaos will result.

Let’s be honest - it is a historic thing to have a Black President. I believe many people were so desperate to have that achievement during their lifetimes that they didn’t really care which Black President. Obama is the result.

When they find out the truth about him, heartbreak will result, followed by rage. And it is already beginning. Blacks are not stupid, they know what they see before their very eyes. The more Blacks are exposed to Obama’s REAL policies and actions, the more they understand what has happened.

I can’t even imagine how many Blacks tried to get Obamacare last week and found out for the first time that it hasn’t gone into effect. Troubling times ahead. There is no kind of rage in this world to compare to a rage that follows the loss of a great love.

I sincerely hope you are right and that Obama will no longer have control of Congress. There are powerful people promoting him who may not allow that to happen, or may do something terrible, like small nuclear weapons exploding in our major cities, as an excuse to grab power. I believe he is a crack addict and an alcoholic which makes him even more dangerous than any prior president. I believe he is mentally ill and destructive because of issues in childhood and the hatred spewed by those around him about capitalism. He may become entirely unpredictable when failure seems imminent. I admire your positive attitude, but after starting in 2008 up to now doing all I could about him, I am pessimistic about America’s future.

I agree he’s crazy and dangerous. I think that if attacks go off in any of our cities to try to keep him in power - it will backfire dramatically and cause him to lose power even more quickly.
