The enemy is radical Islam, not the National Rifle Association

Over the past eight years - the Obama administration has never let a crisis go to waste. The Orlando terrorist attack was no different.

So does he plan on confiscating our pressure cookers? What about fertilizer or cutlery or jetliners? Would that make us safer?

“Enough talking about being tough on terrorism,” the president said in a lecture to the nation on Tuesday. “Actually be tough on terrorism, and stop making it easy as possible for terrorists to buy assault weapons.”

So called “radical Islam” is Islam. By saying “radical Islam” you are saying that this is an aberration and not the real thing. It is the real thing.

A little aside that may slipped through the cracks is the shooters dad had paid visits to the White Hut!

Sultan Hussein’s enemy is the NRA, certainly not Islam.

The enemy is also the MSM - aka the propaganda arm of the Dem Party.

Yep.

Remarks by the President After Counter-ISIL Meeting - June 14, 2016

Enough talking about being tough on terrorism. Actually be tough on terrorism, and stop making it easy as possible for terrorists to buy assault weapons. Reinstate the assault weapons ban. ...

This is the speech where he appeared to be more angry with Trump than with the terrorists.

For obama, Ryan, McConnell, the press, the ruling political class and their owners, the donor class, the enemy is the 3% the friend is the sodomite muzzie in the oval office and his stealth army aka ISIS.

If better than half of congress were not obama’s Lewisnsky’s, he would have been impeached long ago.

The enemy is ISLAM. Either there is no “radical” Islam, taking “radical” to mean something other than “normal,” or all Islam is radical making the term unnecessary and redundant.

Obama: Enough talk about being tough on terrorism

I hope Trump OBLITERATES hillary with that statement. She has to either agree with it or distance herself from Obama. If she tries to distance herself, Trump can say that it was her policies as Secretary of State that created ISIS and allowed it to thrive.
