I'm Sick of News Anchors Telling us Not to Rush to Judgement on Terror Attacks
Townhall.com ^ | May 23, 2017 | Todd Starnes

The photos and the video and the sounds have become all too familiar. A flash of light – a massive explosion – horrified screams of the dying and wounded.

This time in Manchester, England – at a concert filled with young teenagers and their parents.

What was supposed to be a night of music and dancing and childhood frivolity – ended in carnage.

"Horrific, horrific injuries. Terrible," President Trump said. "Dozens of innocent people, beautiful young children savagely murdered in this heinous attack upon humanity."

An untold number of children and their parents were massacred by Islamic radicals - killed in the name of the religion of peace.

In response – there have been candlelight vigils and calls for peace and understanding – but the Muslim jihadists do not want peace. They want death.

The Islamic radicals will not stop until they have killed every last one of us - Christians, Jews, Gay, Straight.

The time has come to eliminate this evil from the face of the planet. The time has come for nations around the world to stop appeasing the Islamists.

"We must drive out the terrorists and extremists from our midst, obliterate this evil ideology, and protect and defend our citizens and people of the world," the president said. "All civilized nations must be united in this effort."

And we must do our part in the United States. We must secure our borders, we must investigate those who come here from the birthplace of this radical ideology and we must do whatever is necessary to prevent American blood from being shed on American soil.

Yet, there are still apologists for the radical Islamists - from Hollywood to the halls of Congress. They seem to think we can win over the hearts and minds of the jihadists with bouquets of flowers and gentle hugs.

That sort of philosophy is not only foolish but it's downright dangerous.

How many more times do we have to listen to breathless news anchors lecturing us about not rushing to judgment?

The Presbyterians and the Lutherans are not the ones strapping on backpacks filled with nails and blowing themselves up. The Methodists and Baptists aren't beheading people. The Catholics are not flying jetliners into buildings.

So spare us the politically correct garbage.

How many more children must die at the hands of radical Muslims - slain in the name of the religion of peace?

How many more citizens of the world must be sacrificed to satisfy the bloodlust of these brutal savages?

How many more times, America? How many more times?

The only problem with rushing to judgement is that you may be incorrect.

The nature of this beast pretty much takes care of those odds.

Just exactly what talent does a news reader have?


My answer would not be appropriate for this forum. I have no idea how many young people are reading these posts.

That's why news readers should always be attractive men and women. They bring no talent or skill to the job, so they should at least look good.

“Rushing to judgement” is routine for the media. When it’s against their agenda.

As many as it takes to begin the World Caliphate. No political leader is going to see through their dhimmihood and actually recognize Islam is not a religion. Why do you ask?

Yes, this is their sole purpose for existing. Our world would be a better and safer place if everybody would simply understand and accept this fact, then act on it.

“Leftists willingly, gleefully, sacrifice the innocent on the altar of political correctness.”.........

As long as it is someone else’s Innocence. I await the day that one of their own is added to the “victim list”, then what will their excuse for these barbaric animal terrorists be?

Sorry, but radical Muslims is correct. You can not claim that Dr Zhudi Jasser is a radical Muslim, and there are others, whose names escape who aren’t either.

I’m convinced that liberals/progressives are cowards and choose to live in denial. This is why they cater to enemies that could hurt them.

They do unleash their toxic words and behaviors on people who can’t destroy them…..Conservatives.

Years back when Russia was the Soviet Union …. An enemy directly threatening us …… liberals spouted pro communist propaganda. The Soviet Union fell and the threat was over, the attitude changed.

Now the current threat is Islam, and they are doing the same thing as they did before with communism. I think that they pander to the enemy hoping they wont get hurt somehow in so doing…..that the bad guys will leave them alone and be nice to them in return.

Today is Teary Solidarity Day in the UK. Flowers, candles, and teddy bears are accumulating in their appointed places. Photos of slain children are being displayed on television and in the newspapers, and weepy citizens are lamenting their tragic loss. New hashtags proliferate on social media. And politicians recycle their tired clichés about standing together and not letting the terrorists divide us and etc blah yak.

Things continue the same, in Britain and throughout the Multicultural West.

Thanks for Zakeet for the above!

I think the reason the terrorist don’t attack the liberal left is because they are their biggest supporters.

Hmmm, was not there a president as talentless as that?

Perhaps he (if he is a he) should work for CNN now.

If we could eliminate the following from Obama's verbal vocabulary without a teleprompter: I, I, I, me, me, uh uh, and ummmm. He might not be able to talk nor pee without a teleprompter.

Rush had a great show a week or two ago. He said that he had been wondering if the media worked for the democrat party or if it was the democrat party that was working for the media. He concluded the latter. Democrat politicians are just puppets for the real power, the left media.

Convert or die... That's the only choice that is given to them... But they do have another... FIGHT..!! Stop listening to the loony left and start fighting to save their country and their own lives.....

That goes for US as well.....

They don’t mean don’t rush to judgement, they mean don’t judge at all.
