Radical Islamists continued slaughtering "infidels" over the weekend.
Here's a sample of headlines.
- Agence France-Presse: "Christians
Flee Egypt Town After Death Threats"
- Associated Press: "U.S.
Embassy Issues Terror Warning For Americans In Egypt … Threat To Women
Engaged In Missionary Activities"
- Reuters: "String
Of Iraq Blasts Kills At Least 32"
- Reuters: "Muslim
Protestors Torch Buddhist Temples, Homes In Bangladesh"
- Associated Press: "Explosive
Attack On Kenya Church Kills Child"
- Associated Press: "U.S.
Military Deaths In Afghanistan Hit 2,000"
The last headline was the result of yet another "green on blue" attack involving Taliban sympathizers in the Afghan security forces who turned their weapons on our troops. When the tragic milestone of 2,000 deaths was reached in Iraq, the media used the occasion to undermine support for the war effort and George W. Bush.
But the media do not seem very interested in dwelling on the casualties in Afghanistan. That's because the war isn't going well under Barack Obama's direction. According to the site icasualties.org, nearly three quarters of U.S. casualties in Afghanistan have occurred since Obama took office.
Our media and cultural elites insisted four years ago that our troubles in the world were the result of the "cowboy" in the Oval Office -- George Bush. So we elected Barack Obama, who bragged about his Muslim background and introduced himself to a cheering Berlin crowd as a "citizen of the world." That world is now kicking him and us in the head.
Obama has spent his entire presidency reaching out to our enemies. As the headlines show, all it has gotten us is attack after attack. Imagine four more years of this, and imagine if during those four years Iran declares it has a nuclear weapon!
But don't worry. U.S. Muslims held a demonstration last week in Dearborn, Michigan. Surely they were standing with us and against the extremists, right? Sadly, the protest, which reportedly drew at least 1,000 people, was called to demand "deterrent legal measures" against those who defame Islam. In other words, the Michigan protestors were echoing the demands of the extremists to limit our First Amendment rights!
Here's my idea for immigration reform: If you don't believe in the U.S. Constitution, you don't get to come into our "house."
