I sit here today and, for the first time in my life it seems...I'm speechless. And it's not speechless because I have nothing to say. It's because I have so, so much on my mind, I cannot find the right words to start with.
So let me try this.
I live in California-San Fernando Valley to be exact-with my family. It's about 60 miles West of San Bernardino, the scene of yesterday's mass shooting where 14 people died and 17 were wounded. Only 60 miles away. It's not New York, not Texas, not Paris, not Lebanon, not London. It was on my doorstep. It was on the doorstep of millions of Californians who woke up thinking the exact same thing as I did as I dropped my son off at daycare. It was just another day. How wrong we were.
Something we take pride in here at Absolute Rights is to report the facts as and when we get them. If news breaks, we report it. If they are unconfirmed reports, we'll say that and update as and when it's confirmed (or not if the case may be). Yesterday, the media did a stellar job reporting the facts as active shooters unleashed terror, in Southern California. Thanks to the power of social media and the 24/7 news reporting this day and age, we sometimes get the story before the police get to the scene. This was apparent yesterday. It's also thanks the power of social media where, deep in the bowels of the Internet, around 100,000 people were listening into the police scanner and reporting minute by minute updates.
Let me tell you what you may not know. We (the media) knew the shooters were Muslim from around 1pm. We knew Syed Farook was the main suspect. We knew that the international press named him and called the shootings a "terrorist attack." We knew there was a woman involved by around 3pm. We knew that the authorities knew this too. We knew there were an unknown number of explosives at one or more locations. We also knew that this was, most likely, going to point towards a terrorist attack. We also knew that, if the media knew, then President Barack Obama knew this. So why, a day later, are we still skipping around calling it EXACTLY what this was? Why, a day later, are the authorities not taking all the evidence they have so far and admitting that this is a terrorist attack? Because make no mistake about it. They know what this was. They just won't admit that the enemy is here and the war has begun.
The bullet riddled car where shooter Syed Farook died along with a female associate. We live in the greatest country in the world. The land of the free and home of the brave. A country where the most well-known law enforcement agencies in the world work tirelessly to protect the law abiding citizens. A nation filled with patriots who would, quite literally, die to protect their families, their homes and the soil they stand on. This is the United States of America. So can you tell me why our FBI, our police force and our government are looking like a bunch of inept fools just now? Can you please explain to me why not one of them seems to know ANYTHING about this coordinated attack by three heavily armed Muslims wearing body armor? Anyone? Let me help. It's because they are not allowed. Why? Simple...President Barack Obama.
Our Commander In Chief will not tell the nation what we all know because this is his worst nightmare coming true. Everything he has done during his time in the white house has been fine tuned to suit his needs and agenda. By using the left leaning media, he's managed to control what we read, what we see and what we hear. This is the man who, when Nidal Hasan murdered 13 people and injured more than 30 others at Fort Hood, Texas while shouting 'Allahu Akbar' as he opened fire, called it "work place violence." This is the man who has yet to attach the word "Islamic" to any jihadi terror attack. This is the man who wants to bring 20,000 Syrian refugees into the U.S. even when his closest allies and White House confidants strongly advised him not to. This is the man who, only last week, told us there are no known threats to our nation and it's citizens. This is the man who thinks our greatest threat is Climate Change. And this is the man who, even when all roads seem to point to a Jihadi Terror Attack where 14 American's were cut down where they stood and now lie in a morgue, pushes gun control during a time when EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD BE ARMED to protect themselves and their family.
Our President. Barack Hussain Obama. The man who ripped our nation apart from the very foundations Americans spilled blood to build had his world rocked yesterday. This is the one situation when good Americans unite. This is when our patriotism shines. No matter what your color may be or what your political standing is, when our loved ones are put in danger from an enemy with deep hatred for everything we stand for, we stand tall. And when that enemy, who are so savage, so unforgiving and so brutal that they will die for their cause are integrated in our society and can strike at anytime, every one of us will want to use our 2nd Amendment rights to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
And if our president thinks he can take away our right to protect our families at the time when we need our guns the most, he will find out the power of We the People and his days in the Oval Office will be over!
the enemy is here and the war has begun.
bears repeating.
The war has been going on for a long time, My FRiend. Unfortunately, only one side is fighting.
That was then. This is now. That was before the men were feminized and political correctness. Once we had he-men. now we have metrosexuals. And that, in a nutshell is what happened.
People don’t take kindly to real threats against their families and there is a real threat now.
We went to Walmart this afternoon and there were three Muslim men shopping. When we saw them down the aisle we noticed a man watching them.
My husband patted his jacket to let the man know he was carrying and the man patted his jacket to let us know he was carrying too.
People, at least in my area, will just not put up with it. We will not be terrorized and we will defend ourselves and our families.
What are you doing to protect yourself?
I know what my family and my neighbors are doing.
They aren’t making a big fuss or a lot of noise but they (we) are prepared for whatever may happen.
I like your thinking. I’m 2,000 miles away but I’d go.
I think you’re right about the SS and other LE.
I lost a lot of faith in this country’s ability to do the right thing after watching this ‘gimmedat’ generation vote for someone who ran this country into the ground for 4 years- gained back a wee bit of hope during mid term elections, but it remains to be seen if that hope is sashed to pieces I nthe next election or not-
Yeah, I had a glimmer of hope until the GOPe showed their true colors again. Nothing changed but the names..... If we continue to elect the same people nothing will change. Make no mistake - they would fight Trump or Cruz tooth and nail if they are unable to sabotage their election chances. They are the traitors within - they kiss our butts every 2 or 6 years and spit on is immediately afterwards.
They are crooks and liars. I don’t even believe much would change if they had every seat in congress. They are in on it and it’s so obvious a blind man can see it.
“We the people” elected this POS twice...
Now what are you going to do about this traitor?
Not a problem...thank you for doing this, I didn’t want to mess it up so sent it this way...
This is an important message and everyone needs to read it over a few times to really get the fear and cold anger that is building up inside of us...
My only question is when are we going to put our foot down and say ‘Enough is Enough’?
“This is the man who, only last week, told us there are no known threats to our nation and it’s citizens.
Extraneous apostrophe.
And this is the man who, even when all roads seem to point to a Jihadi Terror Attack where 14 American’s were cut down [...]
Extraneous apostrophe.
Regards,”
Hey! Watch it! Are you trying to take my job? ;-)
Actually I think the biggest mistake is that conservatives listening to talk radio and posting here get the feeling that “we the people” means something. But really our point of view doesn’t amount to much.
Folks, we aren’t We the People...
We are a shrinking minority..
We the people stayed home the last election.
We the people outnumber the ones who did vote and the ones who did vote are about to have their eyes opened.
This traitor will likely stay in office for the rest of his term. After that all bets are off.
What are doing?
What are you, doing?
That’s an excellent article.
0bama is the ultimate lame duck, and everything he tries must be fought tooth and nail. The more CC folk and folks with long arms handy in their vehicles, the better right now.
Just remember the Scout motto: “Be Prepared!”
Can’t really have a NWO if nations (US or European) want to maintain they’re sovereignty or national culture.
It’s not fair to the elites.
I don’t agree. There are many more of us than you think.
Maybe not all conservatives but good decent people who have been too busy working and taking care of their families to pay much attention. Republicans and democrats.
Terrorism has a way of grabbing attention and waking people up.
Turned on the local news this evening in Colorado Springs to see a segment about local leftie loons having a get together in support of Muslims with candles, cards and hugs. Offensive as hell. I was stunned. Not support for cops who have to deal with these psychos. Not support for the families of the slaughtered and the wounded. Nope. A feel good session for the muzzies. That’s why this country - and the world - is so screwed. Offering love and hugs to these devils is suicidal.
