House GOP leaders are set to endorse President Barack Obama’s failed domestic anti-jihad strategy, according to Texas GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert. The GOP’s Obama endorsement is hidden in a new bill, titled the ‘‘Countering Terrorist Radicalization Act.” The showpiece bill’s title and language is undermined by numerous exceptions that allow the president to continue his failed “Countering Violent Extremism” strategy, Gohmert said.
The bill is a post-Orlando showpiece that actually entrenches Obama’s harmful policies, he said. “All this is doing is giving more and more credibility to this ridiculous term ‘CVE’ instead of describing the killers that were behind 9/11, the Boston bombings, the San Bernardino attack, the Orlando shooting, the bomber in Times Square… all these people who are trying to kill us in America,” he said.
“We’re doing the same thing as the president… we’re not identifying radical Islam” as the enemy which nurtures and motivates attackers, Gohmert. “There is going to be more and more killings of Americans … until we can train our people to recognize radical Islam,” he said.
Under the CVE strategy, Obama has blocked FBI investigators from examining the supposedly non-political and peaceful networks of mosques that actually nurture jihadi attitudes, while redirecting FBI attention to less dangerous non-Islamic groups, such as small-government militias. The strategy has also put FBI agents under the supervision of an oversight panel influenced by Muslim political activists, including an immigrant who reportedly welcomed the slaughter of 3,000 Americans in 2001 by her Muslim co-religionists.
Moreover, Obama’s tight restrictions on investigators have not earned the expected cooperation from Islamic groups. In fact, many self-segregating Islamic groups have rejected Obama’s proposal to allow local Imams to police their young men in exchange for sharing information about jihadi groups with the FBI.

“Countering Violent Extremism”
This is directly aimed at the Tea Party.
An opposition party that does not oppose has no raison d’etre to exist. RIP GOP.
You know the GOP. obama walks up to them, they fall to their knees and reach for his zipper. A sorrier bunch have never breathed.
Well, it’s certainly not Jihad,.....um, ....um some sort of Tea Party like violins....
” A sorrier bunch have never breathed.”
They’re going to lose the senate, and rightfully so.
Hopefully Ryan will lose his primary.
We must always remember that it was the Republicans, and some call themselves conservative, who elected Paul Ryan and McConnell to their positions.
Do you ever notice that bills from Congress do the exact OPPOSITE of what the titles say?
And RIP USA......what a great country we had the good fortune to live in.....now will be just a memory for us older folks. Our youth will never know the freedoms we experienced. Hello Obamaland.....a place I never thought this once great country would descend to......
Both parties fully participated in the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
The founders tried to prevent the Obamanation from occurring by requiring a natural born citizen as President.
Too many people wanted to change a restrictive phrase to be inclusive of their favorite.
Children of foreign nationals are NOT natural born citizens, otherwise Omar Mateen would have been eligible in 6 years.
Jindal, Haley, Cruz and Rubio are NOT natural born citizens.
Born here of citizen parents.
Natural born citizen.
“..Obama’s tight restrictions on investigators have not earned the expected cooperation from Islamic groups..”
Of course not. They see the policy as a sign of weakness, of capitulation. Where they see weakness they will charge forward into the gap. Give them an inch and they will take a mile.
In a war that is always a good strategy and always used.
Ryan is Quisling. the rest of the GOPe would be if someone asked them.
Strategy? This clown? That’s rich!
Trump may win and you are right they may very well lose the senate and not because of Trump but because of their own gutless behavior. Why should I vote for these stepped on dog turds?
I vote for them and then endorse everything the democrats want. They are evidently dumber than a fresh pile of manure and evoke the same reaction to any one with walking around sense that encounters them.
“Trump may win and you are right they may very well lose the senate and not because of Trump but because of their own gutless behavior. Why should I vote for these stepped on dog turds?”
Agree 100%.
“I vote for them and then endorse everything the democrats want. They are evidently dumber than a fresh pile of manure...”
Disagree, we’re the ones dumber than manure for continuing to vote for them while they laugh all the way to the DNC.
I will be voting STRAIGHT libertarian house and senate ticket with Trump for POTUS I AM DONE with these BASTARDS and Trump has NOTHING to do with it!!!!
“..and Trump has NOTHING to do with it!!!!”
Agree 100% and if the GOPE lose the senate:
IT’S THEIR OWN DAM FAULT FOR BETRAYING US ALL.
They STILL can’t SEE that THEIR BETRAYAL gave them Trump!!! NO ONE in government accepts responsibility for ANYTHING, they DON’T ave to THEY are our RULERS!!!!
