Obama was as clueless about 9/11 as he is about ISIS

Obama was as clueless about 9/11 as he is about ISIS

Paul Sperry

That President Obama won’t call it Islamic terrorism; that he believes we shouldn’t be on a “high horse” because America and Christians have done bad things; that Muslims are victims of “bigotry and prejudice”; that his State Department says it’s the lack of jobs, not religion, that fuels ISIS, should come as no surprise.

After all, he said the same thing about 9/11. In 2004, Obama released an update of his 1995 memoir, “Dreams from My Father,” with a little-noticed new preface about the attacks.

“On September 11, 2001,” Obama wrote, “…history returned with a vengeance; in fact, as Faulkner reminds us, the past is never dead and buried — it isn’t even past.”

“This collective history, this past, directly touches my own,” he added. “Not merely because, as a consequence of 9/11, my name is an irresistible target of mocking websites from overzealous Republican operatives. But also because the underlying struggle between worlds of plenty and worlds of want…is the struggle set forth, on a miniature scale, in this book,” which at its core is an indictment against Western imperialism, racism and colonialism.

Obama goes on to say he identifies with the “desperation and disorder of the powerless,” and how they can “easily slip into violence and despair.”

“I know, I have seen, the desperation and disorder of the powerless; how it twists the lives of children on the streets of Jakarta or Nairobi in much the same way as it does the lives of children on Chicago’s South Side, how narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury, how easily they slip into violence and despair,” he wrote....

He’s not clueless about ISIS. He’s covering for ISIS. We need to end this BS that Obama and the Democrats are stupidly messing up America out of incomptentence. THIS IS DELIBERATE AND ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN.

Osama Bin Laden was a billionaire (whom Obama gave a respectful taxpayer funded muslim funeral).

When will the US gov't take an interest
in those murdered Islam, raped or beheaded by terrorist Islam,
or the crucified and the enslaved by Obama's Moslem Brotherhood (al Qaeda)?

Not in this Administration.

0bama is not at all clueless.

He was raised as a Moslem.

He knows their “prophet” was a mass murderer, pirate, brigand, kidnapper, rapist, polygamist, slave trader, Jew hater, thief, liar, and all-around bloody savage.

Anybody who reads about the life of that low-life goon knows what he was and what he taught.

And they also know that Islam teaches that the vile, bloody, thieving, lying, murdering, raping, slave-trading Mohammed was the “perfect man”, to be emulated by all “true” moslems.

That’s what I’m talking about. “He stoned”, “He’s dumb”, “He doesn’t understand”, etc. The meme is that the Progs are all well-meaning fools who stumble around like Mr. Bean in a china shop. They do this as a strategy right from Sun-Tzu. We keep wishing they would get smarter, when what we need to do is treat them as the existential threat that they are. They are no different than Nazi troops marching down Main St. Would we come out and just say, “Oh you poor misguided fools” and post cute memes on the internet of a frame from a video that makes them look dumb?

-— you redistributive Marxist -—

It’s hard to believe that anyone could reduce human motivation to class struggle, but no other philosophy explains all of Obama’s actions.

Americans simply don’t understand Marxism because it has never been explained to them. They’ve been deliberately kept in the dark... By Marxists. It’s the Marxist way. The glorious revolution justifies the means.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

BINGO.

This is NOT incompetence. This is all part of the Islamo-Fascist's plan to wipe Christianity and Capitalism from the face of the Earth.

Remember Benghazi

Remember Egypt (Hillary backs Morsi not Mubarak???? Odd huh?)

Remember "JV" and "Jobs for Jihadists" comments.. All BS propaganda for the dumbed-down masses.

Remember the DEMS WATCHED THE ENTIRE MIDEAST BECOME ISIS TERRITORY AND DID NOTHING TO STOP IT.

Seems he is a marxist first with muslim sympathies but not devotion. Definitely anti-American.

“I know that the hardening of lines, the embrace of fundamentalism and tribe, dooms us all.”

Then why does he apparently promote racism, political and economic discord and flaunt what we thought was a balance of power between branches of government?

The man is out of control. The rest of the world doesn’t seem to like him (and that reflects badly on us) but the narcissist just doesn’t get it. At least Putin is a crazy warlord wannabe.

People simply don’t want to believe what they are seeing right in front of their face.

They convince themselves there has to be a different explanation than it’s all intentional.

Team Obama is doing exactly what they promised to do.

The people to be angry with are the Republicans, who control 31 statehouses, and both Houses of Congress.

Anger is not a Program and not a Plan. It is also no substitute for inspiring Leadership. What kind of elected representatives would squander the victory of the 2014 elections? What kind of voters would let them renege on the campaign promises that brought the victory?

A rare glimpse of honesty about how Obama thinks. He sees himself as punisher and great equalizer and is doing a damn good job at both. He hates white european / American culture and he’s going to punish it and tear it down.

>>They convince themselves there has to be a different explanation than it’s all intentional.

As a nation, we can’t accept that we are defeated. We’re broke. Our manufacturing ability in the nations of enemies. Our schools undermine patriotism. Our churches replace Christ with self-help seminars. The family is an artifact of the past. Our military is infested with homosexuals, women, and foreigners. Half of our citizens elected Obama, and other half quibble over the “perfect” conservative who will come in like a savior and fix everything.

So, we can’t accept that this is all intentional and that the communists did what no one else has ever been able to do: invade the US and set up beachheads in every city and college where they can beat us into submission.

And don't forget Obama's trademark logo - the sun rising in the west.

Islam is the only religion that prophesies that the sun will rise from the West, instead of rising from the East, in the the End Times, before Day of Judgement. Both the Quran and the Hadith affirm that this phenomenon will take place. The occurrence of this phenomenon is considered in Islam as one of the major signs that indicate the Day of Judgement is close.
