The violence in the Middle East appears to have caught the ruling Democrats totally by surprise and they, with the help of their fellow travelers in the MSM, are trying desperately to assert that the obviously coordinated attacks on US embassies and consulates are spontaneous reactions to an obscure movie trailer critical of Islam.
After all, Muslims were supposed to love Obama, right? Since he had been one of them? So, White House spokesman Jay Carney said “obviously” the riots and murders were NOT the result of American administration policy.
“Obviously”? Far from being innocent, the Obama administration’s crown jewel of its reelection campaign, the killing of Osama bin Laden, IS the reason for the multiple attacks of September 11, 2012.
I could say that the president doesn’t understand how deeply certain Muslim factions hate the United States, but I think he knows that. I think he might even AGREE with them. After all, Obama’s policies, beginning with his “apology tour” speech in Cairo ironically, have been calculated to reduce America’s wealth, power and influence in the world. Barack Obama clearly doesn’t like America either, if that America is strong, rich and able to make it’s interests succeed.
But while Obama’s efforts are directed at building up backward countries and reducing the prosperity and power of developed countries, reaching some kind of socialist-style mutual misery, the focus of radical Islam is the ERADICATION of all non-Muslim influences, especially the United States and Israel.
The left-most elements of our country began on Sept. 12, 2001 blaming America for the attacks of Sept. 11. The MSM is trying desperately to blame the current attacks on Republicans(!), who do not control the White House or the Senate. Some newsies have even blamed Mitt Romney, who doesn’t hold any political office currently. It’s really difficult to understand how their minds work.
Administration officials like Hillary Clinton have chosen to condemn the filmmaker and apologize to the rioters for our First Amendment, rather than condemn the barbaric attacks and closed mindedness of Muslim fundamentalists. This communal Stockholm syndrome of the left, where we blame ourselves and sympathize with our attackers, is really crazy.
We desperately need leadership who will assert the superiority of America’s vision of freedom and opportunity and personal empowerment, like Reagan did 30 years ago. By clearly stating the superiority of democratic capitalism over repressive communism, he caused the Soviet Union to collapse of its own weight. So, with an example of unambiguous celebration of freedom, eventually Muslims will realize that their cause is hurt by the barbaric tactics of 1,000 years ago and the radicals will be ultimately marginalized by Muslims who actually practice Islam as a “religion of peace”.
I hope that’s not too idealistic, but the only other alternative is to meet the Muslims in their “holy war” until one side destroys the other.
