Terrorism and Happy Talk

Video leaked accidentally—British jihadi tells Obama "I'm back", and warns of further deaths, before beheading journalist

 

ISIS released a video Tuesday of the beheading of U.S. journalist Steven Sotloff, formerly of Time magazine. The authenticity of the video, which took an unusually long time to reach ISIS forums, often the first sources for such videos, has yet to be confirmed. The video was titled “A second message to America,” and again started with footage of oratory from U.S. President Barack Obama, before cutting to a scripted anti-US monologue delivered by an emotionless Sotloff, draped in orange clothing (reminiscent of Guantanamo inmates) and on his knees in another arid hilltop landscape beside his executioner.

If only this happened when Bush was still president Im sure he would’ve taken proper reaction and put some bullets into the skull of these animals.

Why he will go golfing of course, then go fundraising. Maybe he could take in a good movie too…..make it a love story. If the winds change……..and they have. We are considered the terrorists and they administration is at war with us.

   Dana Milbank; President Obama’s unnerving happy talk

.... "So we wouldn’t have fussed over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine if not for Facebook? Or worried about terrorists taking over much of Syria and Iraq if not for Twitter? This explanation, following Obama’s indiscreet admission Thursday that “we don’t have a strategy yet” for military action against the Islamic State, adds to the impression that Obama is disengaged." ...

Sept 1, 75 years ago; Hitler invades Poland and WW2 begins

 

75 years ago on Sept 3rd: Britain and France declare war on Germany.

Meanwhile, in Poland this began:

   

 

Hitler was helped in this conquest by a cynical communist nation and it's leader, Josef Stalin.

Meanwhile communists in Britain and France had been actively opposing efforts by those nations to prepare for war.  There appears to be no threat so vile that "useful idiots" of the left will not resist efforts by peaceful nations to stand against it. TD

Students will examine ALLIED APPEASEMENT at the MUNICH CONFERENCE in order to explain Hitler's BLITZKRIEG in POLAND.

Is this a case of the man with one eye leading the blind?

When the Teleprompter Hits the Fan    " President Obama said, “The future does not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam” and President Reagan stated: “The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave….' ”
 

 

From the UK: Parents of SEAL Team Six soldier killed in action call on Obama to resign
On Monday, the Vaughns wrote a letter, calling out Mr Obama's decision to go golfing after holding an important press conference on the Foley video.

Your message has come across loud and clear, sir: You are not up to this job. You know it. We know it. The world knows it. 

'As Commander-in-Chief, your actions - or lack thereof - Mr President, cost lives.

'As you bumble about in your golf cart, slapping on a happy face and fist-pounding your buddies, your cowardly lack of leadership has left a gaping hole — not only in America’s security — but the security of the entire globe.   More...

Democrat Donna Brazile says only "hillbillies" ask for a strategy.  How could we have been so misguided?
 

We see Mr. Obama as worse than Jimmy Carter, but Carter narrows the gap a bit with this.

Well, the president can still draw a crowd of happy faces to stand behind him at his speeches   "Shortly after noon last Monday, 17 smartly dressed Americans filed onto risers at the rear of the East Room of the White House. Their job, for the next 15 minutes or so, was to stand and gaze attentively at President Obama’s back.    

 

"Obama, like most presidents in the age of television, often gives speeches against a human backdrop. The people who join him onstage aren’t just a collection of regular folks, even when they’re billed as such: They’re carefully sourced, selected, and positioned by the White House for maximum messaging impact." ...

Do these people even know what an ISIS is?

 

If he’s bored, we’d be more than happy to let him leave.    ... "But all Obama can do, when he is not greatly exacerbating whatever problem he chooses to create, is retreat further into his princeling world, hobnobbing with the rich and famous, shifting blame to everyone else, and acting as if somehow he wafts above the ordinary world of politics that in truth he has done so much to pollute."

...

"Somebody needs to say it to his face: Barack Obama is the worst president, by far, since at least the Civil War. For the love of God, man, go away."    Quin Hillyer

 

His work is being done just the way he wants it. I see no interest in this man for foreign policy, only in reforming this nation. And all this is being done on autopilot while he golfs by his activist cabinet: the EPA, DOJ, HHS, Department of the Interior and every other agency that controls how we live and move.

Mr. Obama has blamed his problems on the previous administration; when he is out of office and his chickens come home to roost, he will blame the next administration for the consequences.

I can see it now: the world falls apart in two years and some leftist group will post billboards with Obama's smiling face saying "Miss me yet?".  Meanwhile world leaders will still be missing and wishing for President Bush.  The Tunnel Dweller

Well, the Islamic State DOES have a strategy to deal with us

Wayne Dupree

 

"According to Obama and his administration, they don’t have a strategy to combat the forward momentum of the Islamic State. As alarming as that is, it is equally alarming that the Islamic State has one and they seem to be right on schedule.

Alan Caruba: Witnessing a Failed Presidency

Warning Signs

 

... "Given the vast implications of what is occurring in the Middle East, in Ukraine, and elsewhere around the world his response was to interrupt his golf game to give a short speech and then return to the greens. In a recent press conference he said he has “no strategy” to address the threat that ISIS represents.

"What Americans have discovered is that they have twice either voted for (or against) someone with fewer skills and even less desire to do the job for which he campaigned. This laziness combined with his radical liberal politics have finally become obvious even to his former supporters.

"His statement that he had no strategy to deal with the threat of the Islamic State and that it was perhaps too soon to expect one to have been formulated has led to the conclusion that he was far less intellectually equipped to be President than many had thought."

 

"Now he must be endured and survived."

On Ben Carson, 2016, and Moving On

RedState.com    "A cult of personality, while a great song, is a dangerous thing. They can lead normally smart people to do and say some things that don’t seem so smart.

"Everyone jumped on board with Dr. Ben Carson when he had the audacity to criticize the president and his Affordable Care Act with the president right there in the room. Not bad, guy. Immediately, the conservative movement jumped on Carson as someone to watch out for. He had a great story – made his way from Detroit to Yale and, in the 80s, was a rock star with some big surgical procedures (included separating twins conjoined at the head after a 22-hour procedure) – and his political commentary spoke with an academic, authoritative voice when it came to the president’s healthcare ideas.
....
Then, the writer counts the ways:
Under a Republican House and Senate, a President Ben Carson can repeal Obamacare… then what? He gives Republicans a chance to escape the whole racist banner Democrats have put them under? Of course not. Carson would just join the ranks of Herman Cain and Clarence Thomas as “tokens” for the Republican Party. Our image wouldn’t change that much with our political opponents.
...
"Then there are statements that can and will be taken as fringe and destroy his chances well before they even start. Like this quote in the Washington Post:" ...
..
"It’s not that I don’t think Ben Carson isn’t qualified to be in the political world, but I definitely don’t think he’s ready for the biggest political job there is. The best presidents have political experience under their belt before they reach the top. If Carson wants to run for president one day, then it is my hope that he does. Just not in 2016. Let the man get some experience under his belt first. Then we can push him to run."

When the left gets through demagoguing Dr. Carson, we may not recognize the man. How sad.

Americans detained in North Korea call for US help

CNS News

Jeffrey Fowle, an American detained in North Korea, speaks to the Associated Press,

Monday, Sept. 1, 2014 in Pyongyang, North Korea.

 

"Fowle arrived in North Korea on April 29. He is suspected of leaving a Bible in a nightclub in the northern port city of Chongjin. Christian proselytizing is considered a crime in North Korea. Fowle, 56, lives in Miamisburg, Ohio, where he works in a city streets department. He has a wife and three children aged 9, 10, and 12.

 

" 'Within a month I could be sharing a jail cell with Ken Bae," he said, adding that he hasn't spoken with his family for three weeks. "I'm desperate to get back to them."

 

"North Korea says Miller, 24, entered the country on April 10 with a tourist visa, but tore it up at the airport and shouted that he wanted to seek asylum. Miller refused to comment on whether he was seeking asylum.

 

"Bae, a 46-year-old Korean-American missionary, has been held since November 2012. He was moved from a work camp to a hospital because of failing health and weight loss but last month was sent back to the work camp outside of Pyongyang, where he said he does farm-related labor. He said he has lost 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) and has severe back pain, along with a sleep disorder. His family has said his health problems include diabetes, an enlarged heart, liver problems and back pain." ...



The Norks want us to send a high-ranked official to ask for their release. The obvious choice:

... "Though some parts of California have received small amounts of rain in recent weeks, more than 58 percent of the state is still under “exceptional” drought, the highest level possible. And a single rain won’t necessarily alleviate the harsh conditions, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Thunderstorms may cause floods and intense runoff, as the dried-out land struggles to absorb fast rainfall. “Thunderstorms often produce large amounts of precipitation in a very short time,” the agency’s site reads, “and most of the rain will run off into drainage channels and streams rather than soak into the ground.”...

GOP, Are You Ready to Reach Out to Blacks Yet?

Lloyd Marcus  

 

 "Because I am a black conservative, someone wrote asking me this great question.

“ 'What is it that compels some black men and women to cling to, and follow people like Sharpton, Jackson, Wright, Obama, Spike Lee, Black Panthers, Holder, etc.?”

"I have pondered the same question.  Some black folks embrace victim status because it provides cover for their laziness and irresponsible lifestyles.  Black Judases preach a false, evil gospel of victimhood-ism for profit.  Some blacks are racist, pure and simple.

"I believe that a majority of black Americans simply have not been exposed to unfiltered conservatism – to blacks articulating how blessed they are to be born in the greatest land of opportunity on the planet."  

One significant point Mr. Marcus makes is one many do not consider:  "Ironically, all of the blacks who are given big microphones to tout the horrors of being black in America are wealthy." ...Read more:

QuickTrip Mart Will Not Re-Build in Ferguson

Warner Todd Huston via Theodore Alton McElroy at  Guardian Eagles
"Well, the fools who destroyed their own neighborhood during riots in Ferguson, Missouri after a teenager was killed by a police officer there have made their own neighborhood into a lesser place. The one convenience store and gas station they had in their area, the one burned down, will not be rebuilt."

 

"The QuickTrip was burned to the ground by rioters two weeks ago.*

"It was the only convenience store in the area. But now, Gateway Pundit reports that the company says it will not bother to rebuild the store.

"The company sent gasoline tankers to the site to pump out all the gas in the underground holding tanks and have said it will tear the store down leaving an empty lot.

"They say the store was barely breaking even, anyway. Probably due to the amount of theft.

"So, what we see now is that these people who complain that their neighborhood isn’t livable have now made their own neighborhood even less livable because of their rioting. Nice move, folks.
