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.

There is a big difference between "incompetent" and "criminal".

The 0bama Administration clearly falls squarely into the latter category. However, they and their enablers (including the feckless and corrupt Washington GOP) try and hide that fact with the "incompetent" label, which is the lesser and more forgivable.

It is easier to face human inadequacy than human evil and especially if you yourself are a coward and morally compromised.

People have been conditioned to believe it can’t happen here.

Plain old normalcy bias.

See and hear it after every natural disaster.

I’ve talked to people after a hurricane that had just driven over downed power lines wondering why the electricity was back on.

Their minds simply do not accept anything outside of what is normal.

Yes, he told us in his books. The whole fundamental transformation thing was always the plan. No one should be surprised.

>>People have been conditioned to believe it can’t happen here.

I expect it out in the general population. too many spoiled brats (of all ages) who think that everything will always be exactly what they consider to be normal. But, here in FR, people used to be able to see the truth. Now, most people are just as bad as the liberals in that they see everything through the filter of their ideology. Its not even a worldview anymore. It’s just pure ideology.

Nothing but Jesus or a civil war is going to fix this country. All winning elections will do is to slow down the collapse (or speed it up, depending on who won).

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

How do you infer that orientation from the logo?

See, the 911 terrorists had legitimate grievances and he understands them.

As people used to say in here a lot, "BTTT". Obama is no more clueless than Dubya was when liberals were regularly telling the credulous that Shrub had the IQ of a peach.

Obama's rhetoric about how he's seen the hopelessness and blah blah, is utterly unconvincing to anyone who knows he attended an elite high school in Hawaii, not some hardscrabble rural school in Hogback County, Arkansas, and that he was then handed along like a precision nuclear weapon to various KGB-nurtured treason factories Stateside.

For some reason people believe there is a line the radical left wont cross, the line being collaborating with terrorist and killing their fellow Americans as a path to power.

The radical left climbed into bed with the muslim terrorist in 1991, if not sooner, and declared war against the US.

A doc recovered in Afghanistan from Osama bin Laden confirms it.

We’ve been in a civil war but only one side is doing the killing.

When both sides are doing the killing it will soon be full blown WWIII.

"... the sun or the light of Islam, the truth of Islam according to them, will shine in the western nations and be received well. Another interpretation from Islamic commentary is that the sun is a messenger, a person, a leader, who will come out of the western nations and not only be positive toward Islam, but help promote Islam and protect and defend Islam and eventually many will be converted to it."

http://alessatheisraeli.blogspot.com/2011/07/meaning-of-obamas-symbol.html>

"In the Asia and the Middle East, symbols have much more meaning than they do to those who live in the United States. People in those cultures place much credibility in symbols and are superstitious about them. In light of this Islamic prophecy that I have shared with you, is it just a coincidence that the campaign symbol of Senator Barack Hussein Obama is the sun rising over the ultimate symbol of the west, the flag of the United States of America?

http://www.liveprayer.com/ddarchive3.cfm?id=3411

"For example, Obama’s campaign logo can be seen also to reflect the two most common symbols of Islam–the crescent and the sword…the logo contains a crescent with the stripe representing an Islamic scimitar. The “rising sun over the west” –another significant symbol–is shown in Obama’s logo as the rising sun over the lands of America."

Marxists seem to have the same method of operation as Muslims. Lie to the infidel, unbeliever, to achieve their goals, and death to all infidel's.

If you do not go along with Marxists or Muslims, you die! Massive proof of that in everything they do. To actually have a man that lied about his intentions for this great country, outright and deliberate lying and half this country are good with it, makes me think it will not be long before us "infidels" will have to take a stand or die fighting for our God and country.

Obama’s campaign logo can be seen

In other words, it is a subjective interpretation, and not a statement of fact.

There are many who believe the words of the Quran (and the Bible), Obama’s faith, and his agenda for destroying America all depends on one’s interpretation of the written and spoken word, and Obama’s actions. However, the fact remains that there is at least one Islamic prophecy that speaks of the sun rising in the west and signaling the arrival of the Mahdi. Maybe only a coincidence. Recall that in the early years of Obama’s administration there were many who could not see what the rest of us could see. Some of them are finally awakening. Because of their interpretation of the facts.

How we connect facts is how we establish hypotheses. That’s fine. Stating a hypothesis as a fact is not.
