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.

Just don’t let it be a Canadian, that’d be embarrassing, but the way it’s going, it may just have to be one.

Same with the radio station owner who decapitated his wife's head right there in the station.

You see the video of the guy who walked right into the 13 yr olds house and attempted to assault her....they caught him...he's muslim.

SICK of being the most conservative one in the room at work

Been there.

your defenses get weakened after 24 hour a day barrages.

No, your ability to speak your mind freely becomes limited.

You need to pick your battles very carefully, especially if you are the "Known" conservative. My Co-workers knew I was a hard core conservative even though and maybe because I never piled on when they were bashing Republicans. I never said anything. I just listened and waited for the opportunity to interject my comments when I knew my comments would make a difference in their thinking.

Most of them have no idea why they believe what they are saying. If you can be very very reserved and avoid superficial political battles, your co-workers will think you are really smart. So when you do speak up, your words will carry more weight. When you do interject an opposing view you better know what your talking about.

Best of luck.

We're all Americans, even our neighbors to the North, so perhaps we should all start acting like it. Where is Patton when you need him?

Well, Bill O’Reilly and Laura Ingraham agree she must have incited him...

The question is begged:

...” Who will be the one to strike the first blow in leading the American people back to freedom? “......

Are there enough who see that freedom is being taken to begin with? We're so over-populated with foreigners who come from despot countries that they see the US as hugely free and want to prevent the freedoms we have....and they vote now! I just think True Americans don't even know today what that means....and don't care either.

He was bounced out of the service for not showing proper respect for "diversity."

Well, I’m not there anymore, but for the first eight years I had the conservative boss’ cover. Even when I asked some white girl why she married a muslim lol.
And by the time he left, well, believe it or not, it is just about as hard to get fired from an investment bank as it is from a teaching job lol. Unless it is a mass layoff.
Everyone is terrified of lawsuits.
I fought against maybe 40 of the looniest left wing actors, actresses, singers, poets and dancers you ever met.
They do graphics because the hours are flexible for them to pursue their “dream”

I’m surprised this Jewess and big-city resident actually took a pistol course. She probably will never be given a permit in Taxachusetts to actually OWN a gun, of course (enumerated Constitutional right), but I’m surprised nonethless. Maybe some big-city hive insects are waking up.

You probably have a valid point, though I know some libs here who would disagree, but us conservatives tend to think the same way.

We all value the same things.

Patton would be a welcome sight today.

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

Yup, thanks to Chief Moose.

But why? It’s pretty much the first thing you ask a stranger at a party or other casual conversation.

Americans need to prepare to fight the Federal Government, and their minions, on their own soil.

The feds will undoubtedly try to intervene and protect the head-choppers from our wrath, so yes - you're probably correct about this.

dp0622,

I’ve read your post history.

I’ve given you a really hard time in the past about your conservative claims.

I decided to let some things go.

The thing that really bothers me, is your inconsistency.

“I work there and can’t leave”

“I don’t work there”

“I was a floor trader”

“well, not so much”

And even your stories of taking a family member to Atlantic City are inconsistent.

You may be a legit conservative, you may be just trying too hard to find a home, I don’t know.

But you must know, your inconsistencies are all here for everyone to see and if you continue being less than honest you won’t last long.

If our government acknowledges that Islamists are so radical, that even drawing pictures of their prophet can incite them to violence, why on Earth is our government allowing Islamists into our country in the first place ?

I have to say that I am very concerned about dp0622’s claims.

There’s something wrong.
