Cyber Jihad: ISIS Targets Social Media Profiles of Air Force Member and Son

Victory Girls   "Last week, we reported on the bulletin that our U.S. Army has circulated to those both currently serving in our military, as well as veterans, about ISIS’s threat to target online social media profiles of military personnel and their family members. And it looks like that’s exactly what’s now happening.

"An Air Force member and his teenaged son have been harassed by ISIS sympathizers, targeting their FaceBook profiles and engaging in an all-out cyber jihad on them, labeling them “kafir,” or non-believer, as well as various other derogatory statements. It’s an effort, as reported last week, to encourage other ISIS supporters—lone wolves—to locate their homes, hunt them down and “slaughter” them."

"Now, I don’t know about you, but I’ve had just about enough of this. These wretched excuses for human beings need to become one with the earth, in a vaporized into microscopic grains of sand kind of way. Preferably by women. In jets.

Does Obama recognize evil in this world, or has he just lost the courage and passion to stand up to it?

He does seem to do just the fun stuff. But if Obama has given up, his underlings and mentors are still as doctrinaire as ever I'd say.
Islamic radicals may safely take this president lightly, but heaven help you if you are an American conservative.

Panetta: Obama Has Given Up  "Tuesday on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta declared President Barack Obama's approach to be like a law professor, however without the aspect of rolling up his sleeves and to get the job done.
Instead he suggested Obama has given up.

"Panetta said, "He [Obama] approaches things like a law professor in presenting a logic of his position. There is nothing wrong with that. We want to have a president who thinks through the issues. My experience in Washington is that logic alone doesn't work. Once you lay out a position, you are going to roll up your sleeves and you have to fight to get it done. That is key in Washington. In order for presidents to succeed, they cannot just -- when they run into problems, step back and give up."

" 'There is a feeling and I have a feeling that the leadership and the president have given up on the big issues facing this country whether it's immigration or a budget deal or infrastructure funding or trade or energy. there is a sense that you can't deal with that. This country needs that. They can't give up."

 Roger L Simon at PJ Media writes,  "Increasingly, I am thinking that Barack Obama does not know the difference between good and evil"   ... "ISIS had already provided us with more than enough examples of mass murder and other Holocaust-like actions to last several lifetimes.  In two videos I saw, dozens of Middle Eastern men were decapitated, their severed heads placed on poles while others were shot through the back of the neck and dumped unceremoniously into pits they had dug for themselves.
... "Evil does not interest him, especially if it has nothing to do with votes.  Evil does not even exist for him. Only fairness." ...
...
"At the same time as IS is rampaging, Obama’s equally morality-challenged crew at the State Department is busy criticizing (what else?) Israel, yet again for Jewish construction and apartment purchase in  Jerusalem Arab neighborhoods." ...

Disagreeing with Panetta, FITSNEWS takes issue with his points:  ... "Beyond being self-serving, Panetta’s comments are also at odds with reality.

"Last time we checked, Obama has gotten plenty of “big issues” done – notably a “stimulus” that’s produced record dependency and joblessness and a health care law that’s produced higher premiums.  Oh, and he’s successfully “spread the wealth around,” too … just not how many of his supporters imagined." ...

They Are Coming for Your Children

Teacup totalitarians target Connecticut home-schoolers

NRO

 
"Home-schoolers represent the only authentically radical social movement in the United States (Occupy Wall Street was a fashion statement) and so they must be suppressed, as a malevolent committee of leftist academics and union bosses under the direction of Governor Dannel Malloy is preparing to do in Connecticut, using the Sandy Hook massacre as a pretext. The ghouls invariably rush to the podium after every school massacre, issuing their insipid press releases before the bodies have even cooled, and normally they’re after your guns. But the Malloy gang is after your children." ... Full article...

Krauthammer’s Take: Obama Wants to Hand the Islamic State Fight Over to Next President

Interpreting the statistics on the US bombing campaign of ISIS: one air strike means one truck destroyed. TD

National Review Online
 

 
"On Monday’s Special Report, Charles Krauthammer said former defense secretary Leon Panetta’s criticism of President Obama’s foreign policy, including the withdrawal from Iraq, was consistent with past statements made by former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and former defense secretary Robert Gates.

“ 'There is agreement among the top advisers of Obama himself, his top national-security advisers, that he was indecisive; that he let opportunities pass” when it came to dealing with the Islamic State, Krauthammer said.

“ 'I think what we’re seeing now, with his inability and unwillingness to help in the fight in Kobane, which is a very critical fight where ISIS is, now has the upper hand, Obama seems to want to contain the situation until the end of his term and then hand it off,” Krauthammer said. Kobane is a Kurdish city in Syria along the Turkish border that the Islamic State has been reportedly trying to take for weeks."  (Emphasis mine, TD)

Can't you see it now? Obama spent these past six years blaming the Bush administration for his problems and after he leaves office, guess what? He will dump this world mess on his successor and continue to blame them for not handling it the way he would have. "If I could have had a third term, things would not be this bad!" The smiling sycophants that he always gathers behind him will clap and cheer.

KURDS BLAST OBAMA For Sitting Back & Letting Kobane Fall to ISIS

The Gateway Pundit  "An ISIS flag flies on a building on the eastern side of Kobani (Kobane), Syria."
  "The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) raised on Monday its black Islamic flags on a building on the eastern side of Kobane. The ISIS militants have been fighting Kurdish forces for three weeks before entering Kobane today.
 
"Today Kurdish supporters blasted Barack Obama for sitting back and allowing Kobane to fall to ISIS.
 
Operation Trojan Horse: ISIS Plans to Cross Turkish Border as “Refugees,” Launch Attacks in Europe    ... "The Kurds, not surprisingly, are placing the blame for the loss of the territory squarely on the shoulders of one Barack Hussein Obama."

Max Boot: The limited bombing that President Obama has unleashed against ISIS is, predictably, having little impact  "Didn't we hear that Mr. Obama himself is picking the targets, just as LBJ did in Vietnam?"  "This President is a real slow learner"

TD did an internet search for "Obama’s Foreign Policy Successes". The first group to come up included this aptly titled one from 2011 at the liberal site, Think Progress: "Obama’s Foreign Policy Successes Among those Think Progress listed were:
  • KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN, RAMPED UP CAMPAIGN AGAINST AL QAEDA
  • MOBILIZED INT’L COALITION TO PROTECT LIBYAN PRO-DEMOCRACY DEMONSTRATORS
  • ISOLATED AND WEAKENED IRAN
  • ORDERED THE COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL OF U.S. FORCES FROM IRAQ BY END OF THE YEAR
  • REPEALED DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL
  • HALVED THE NUMBER OF RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN NUCLEAR MISSILE LAUNCHERS
  • STRENGTHENED U.S.-ISRAEL RELATIONSHIP
Plus others, of which I sincerely liked this one the most: "KILLED SENIOR AL QAEDA LEADER ANWAR AL AWLAKI". 

And of course, he did do well in 2012 with regard to Myanmar .
Well, except maybe for um...this. :

Seattle City Council votes to rename Columbus Day to 'Indigenous Peoples' Day

Columbus Day parade in New York City
 
"It's the kind of political correctness to be expected in a city that elected a socialist and ordered workers to quit using the term "citizen" in official documents. On Monday, the Seattle City Council voted unanimously to change Columbus Day to "Indigenous Peoples' Day" to recognize that Native Americans were on the continent before Christopher Columbus first set foot on it in 1492.

"Mayor Ed Murray is expected to "swiftly" sign the measure, Reuters said. Once signed, the change will take effect for the upcoming holiday.

"But the measure doesn't end there. It also acknowledges that Seattle, a city named after a tribal chief, was built atop indigenous peoples' homes, Reuters added." ...
