Almost immediately following the murderous attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris, the liberal community, (makes up much of the French culture) turned out in mass for solidarity walks and candle light vigils. The theme was, one of unity and love. Muslim, Jew, Christian, etc., we’re a happy, multicultural society. So, the Parisians laid flowers and tiny religious icons on a sidewalk near where the Charlie Hebdo shootings took place. Unfortunately, those symbolic gestures of peace and good will did little to alter the battle plans of the Muslim fanatics from ISIS.
Moving forward a few months: Paris, Nov. the 13th a series of brutal attacks by Muslim extremists. The mood there is not so loving anymore, they are flat out pissed. France closed its borders and halted immigration – there were no more solidarity walks with Muslims. 129 French citizens were killed, many more were wounded.
President Hollande said, “This is an act of war! France will show no mercy and we will destroy ISIS!” Hollande knows that gestures, no matter how good they make one feel, will not defeat terrorists. He knows the only option left is to kill them.
President Obama believes he has contained ISIS, that his policies for the Middle East are working just fine; That when violence takes an anti-American form, it’s not about what he represents, it must be an external provocation, like an offensive video. Our president is delusion – France’s president is not, he’s got both feet firmly on the ground.
Our president knows the fight against ISIS is going to take a long time, perhaps decades. He knows that boots on the ground can’t solve the problems that created ISIS, only those living in the affected regions can do that. This is their problem to solve, not ours. President Hollande completely disagrees, so does the Prime Minister of England, President Putin of Russia and a dozen other leaders now involved fighting ISIS in the Middle East.
Unlike Obama, they all believe ISIS can be defeated by boots on the ground and bombs falling from the air! They absolutely are convinced that ISIS is not that tough, but that they are a determined enemy exploiting instability and weak economics in the region. However, they are no match for Western forces. They know that ISIS has a finite number of soldiers and when they die, they are not being replaced in numbers needed to sustain their holy war. ISIS fails every time when they have been up against traditional Russian forces backed by the Syrian army. So, what do you think will happen when they are matched against a coalition of modern armies? Right, now that coalition is being led by Russia’s Putin, and now France joins in. Saudi Arabia, Syria Jordan, Iran, Turkey all want to see ISIS destroyed too and they all are contributing to ISIS’ defeat.
Remarkably absent in this venture is American leadership. Our “big stick” has been replaced by the “pin prick.” 50 Special Forces deployed to Syria is a pin prick! A few limit bombing strikes, one bomb dropped on one target, is a pin prick and the pin-head of this policy is President Obama. Not even his own cabinet thinks this his policy is working, but few in his administration will openly oppose him, because to do that is a career ender.
The American people are not nearly as delusion. After 9/11 there was a great awakening among the American people, we realized that two great oceans are no longer a barrier to those who would wage war on us. We are a huge soft target for terrorism and there is no way we can stop every future attack and there have been many. After 9-11 there’s been over 900 attempts, but we generally only know about the ones that have succeeded. The evidence says we must conclude that having Muslims in America does come with a degree of risk. Statistically we can prove a certain number, albeit a low percentage, will turn to terrorism. This has us rightly concerned about opening our doors to a 100,000 Middle East refugees as Obama has planned. Extremism (fundamentalism) has always been considerable part of the Muslim religion and until recently we’ve been able to cope with that negative part. But, with modern weapons and the ability to travel anywhere in the world in hours, this extremism has taken on a whole new level of threat to humanity and the USA in particular.
Islamic radicalism is spreading like a cancer and it pops up in every country where there are Muslim communities. Right now there is no cure for those Muslims who turn to terrorism, except to remove them from society, in most cases this means kill them. You don’t “contain” terrorism anymore than you contain cancer, you kill it. All the symbolic gestures in the world will do nothing to make us safer, only fighting back in the most aggressive terms, whenever and wherever it exists, will do that.
Dear Mr. Prez. If your lousy response to the Paris slaughter of innocents is the best you can do, it’s time for you to RESIGN!
And Kudos to the Governors of more than half of the US for refusing Syrian refugees for security reasons. Even if 99 out of 100 are good, that single one can wreak havoc! It’s time we got off our rusty-dusty and start putting the Security of the United States ahead of bogus claims of climate change and PC appeasement.
Terror attacks and violence are the front loading aspect of radical Muslim threat. The clean up as they win this war, in their eyes, is the destruction of democracy, replaced by a caliphate worldwide. It doesn’t take radicalized kids with bombs strapped to their bodies to accomplish that. It takes increasing the number of Muslims in democratic nations across the globe. this is accomplished with women and children absorbed into the population whether radicalized or not. Once a majority is reached transformation can begin in earnest. Moderate Muslims will be victimized along with people of every faith, agnostics, atheists…even Wiccans. People who live “alternative lifestyles will be victimized harshly.
The threat is violent but it is also political and religious…wake up liberal apologists!
Just in case you were wondering what sort of insufferable Democrat asshats are hired by Obama and are running his administration, try John Kerry —
“There’s something different about what happened from Charlie Hebdo, and I think everybody would feel that,” Kerry said in Paris, according to a transcript of his remarks. “There was a sort of particularized focus and perhaps even a legitimacy in terms of — not a legitimacy, but a rationale that you could attach yourself to somehow and say, OK, they’re really angry because of this and that.”
“This Friday was absolutely indiscriminate. It wasn’t to aggrieve one particular sense of wrong. It was to terrorize people,” he continued.

Civilized people don’t get to take their “offenses” to the extremes of murder in, retribution. Every time members or former members of this administration, the media, or pundits excuse the barbarous actions of terrorists they send the message that the civilized world is wrong and their extreme barbaric version of Islamic rule in the world is right. We validate what they’re doing. Their belief system is not based on peace or kindness or loving ones neighbor. It is based on supremacy and carried out with intimidation, oppression and violence.
