Americans must be ready to fight jihadis on U.S. soil
The Boston Herald ^ | May 9, 2015 | Adriana Cohen

We knew it was a matter of when, not if, we’d be hit again by Islamist terrorists on our own soil.

Just last Sunday, two ISIS-sympathizing terrorists, clad in body armor and wielding assault rifles, attacked a Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Garland, Texas. Luckily, they were killed before they could slaughter the people attending the event.

Now U.S. military bases and installations are stepping up security, as FBI Director James Comey is warning that there are “hundreds, maybe thousands” of people across the country who are being recruited by ISIS with orders to attack the U.S. Security at these bases is now at the same threat level as it was during the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

America, you’ve just been given your wake-up call.

Clearly the Islamist threat is no longer over there. It is now in our own backyard.

It’s high time our leaders in Washington stop the bickering and come up with a winning strategy to defeat ISIS, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram and the rest of the jihadists once and for all. We need a plan, not “winging it.”

Let’s remember, it took more than 1,000 members of law enforcement to hunt down and capture one 19-year-old terrorist punk after the Boston Marathon bombings. How would we handle a future attack made up of five or 10 terrorists?

We don’t have 300 million-plus military and law enforcement officers to protect us. But we do have that many people here on the homefront. There will be a time when Americans will need to fend for themselves.

That’s another reason Americans must stay vigilant in protecting the Second Amendment. Our founders created the right to bear arms for a reason.

I recently completed a Pistol Firearms Safety Course. Like learning CPR or first aid, one never knows when this basic survival tool may come in handy.

Let’s face the facts that President Obama and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry won’t utter: Radical Islamist extremists are waging a holy war against America and western civilization. Denying that stark reality won’t stop their march and daily massacres.

“Clearly the Islamist threat is no longer over there. It is now in our own backyard.”

Hey, I have an idea, let’s import another few thousand or so. That will teach us.

Conviction, determination and dedication to our Constitutional Freedoms are equally important, if not more so.

Apathy is the ally of the Federal Government.

I should have left with boss 12 years ago dammit. I have to get health in line before I can leave.
IF I started making the job, monetary and physical moves now I could leave in a year.
seriously thinking about it.
SICK of being the most conservative one in the room at work, parties etc. (not family parties, but still only a few are as hardline as me)
I’d probably be considered a blue dog democrat down there lol
Although my views are pretty solidly conservative, but your defenses get weakened after 24 hour a day barrages.

“As I posted on Sept. 12, 2001 I will post again: We should have nuked Mecca, Medina and Qom the next day. We wouldn’t be dealing with this $hit now.”

You are so right.

That was 2001. We would have taken a lot of shit for many years,
5 years, 6 years, 8 years, 10 years. Who cares. Here we are 14 years later. We would have weathered the shit, and my children wouldn’t be dealing with this crap today, or in the future.

I was saying the exact same thing back then.

From the beginning, it’s been about either destroying the jihadis on their turf.. or defending against them on ours. Apparently, his holy awesomeness has chosen the latter.

The name sounds familiar. I don’t want to look it up for fear of spoilers. What’s the general gist.

“They were looking for a white guy in a white van with a white gun, as I recall...”

The “they” included Chief Charles Moose, a black moron.

“It’s high time our leaders in Washington stop the bickering and come up with a winning strategy to defeat ISIS, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram and the rest of the jihadists once and for all”

And how exactly do you think that’s going to happen?

Last series I really enjoyed was The Shield. Vic Mackey was INSANE lol.
Then the Sopranos, of course. That, The Godfather I and II, Moonstruck and Goodfellas are required Staten Island viewing lol

I liked Oz a lot, but looking back, the Muslim brotherhood representation was bull ####

America got completely over (if they ever even heard about it) that poor woman being be-headed in that plant less than a year ago by a jizlamo convert.
