Orlando: Why it Means War
American Thinker ^ | June 13, 2016 | Christopher Chantrill

Posted on 06/13/2016 10:55:39 AM PDT by Kaslin

When an Islamic terrorist gunned down defenseless US servicemen at Fort Hood in 2009 we were told it was workplace violence. When Islamic terrorists gunned down local government employees at a picnic in San Bernardino in 2015 we were told to withhold judgment until the facts were in even though minorities and women were hardest hit.

But now that an Islamic terrorist has killed 50 at a gay bar in Orlando, Florida, our rulers are calling it “terrorism,” even President Obama, even on the first day after the shooting.

Now I define government as “an armed minority occupying some territory, and taxing the inhabitants thereof to reward its supporters.”

It is interesting to me that the government apparently was not too exercised when a bunch of soldiers were killed, even though soldiers are the actual men with guns that keep the rulers in power. It is interesting that the government wasn’t too exercised when its local minions were gunned down, even though they are the functionaries that keep us “inhabitants thereof” properly subordinated to the rulers and that “make us legible” to the rulers by counting us and taxing us as James C. Scott writes in Seeing Like a State.

But this time it looks as though ISIS or its associates have really gone and done it. It demonstrates, I suppose, just how central gays are to the identity and the throbbing heart of the Democratic Party.

Mine was.

50 dead and 53 wounded is just noise compared to 3,300 a day.

Most Americans are BLIND to the FACTS.

Islam has been at war with everyone since the first of Mo’s attacks on Mecca.

The "preach tolerance" blah-blah has been done.

The only proven effective methods against slam is conquer, forcibly convert and control. This was done by the Spaniards during the Inquisition, the Byzantines when they reconquered Anatolia and by the Safavid Shahs who forcibly converted Iran to Shia'ism.

Axenolith is 100% correct. ISlam is based on triumphalism. tHe fact that they lost Spain and that the Mongols crushed them has traumatised them since the 13th century.

That is why Israel matters -- the Islaic nations don't care about the Palstinians, they care that the dome of the Rock does not fall into non-Mozzie hands.

If we go in and destroy Mecca and Medina, this will cause an utter disintegration of the trumphalism of slam.

“We didn’t have the House and the Senate in 2009 and you seriously don’t thing the rats would have gone along with it. Keep on dreaming.”

True the rats would probably not have gone along with impeachment, I’m just talking about what is right and what is wrong and that sadly seems to be lacking on both sides of the isle. And it’s the American people who pay in the end.

You hit the nail square at the head by pointing out that it will be the American people who are the ones who have to pay at the end. So what are we going to do? Personally I think he needs to get a sentence to Fort Leavenworth Prison for Life + 100 years. Impeachment or not
