The New Black Male Can Be Conservative

John Ransom / Townhall Columnist

Last week I wrote about my sympathies with the black community, especially the black male community, that has been and remains under siege in an America. Both political parties seem destined to misunderstand the historic wrongs committed in the African American community - especially those wrongs done to the black male.

On the one hand, Democrats seem more intent on buying votes than in creating jobs for blacks or security for families. They stoke the hurts that have characterized white-black relations for 300 years at the expense of families. On the other hand, Republicans seem to have turned deaf, dumb and blonde to a community, were it not black, they’d be trolling for votes like crazy because of the obviously poor policy choices Democrats make.

Of course I made both sides mad, as I usually do on race relations, because I refuse to trim or pander. I would be a black radical if I were a black male. I would be a black radical conservative that is.

Jobs and opportunity are what most people want, including black males. And if the GOP and the Dems are too stupid to see it, perhaps we should dispense with both parties.

So: Both sides are stupid.

The Democrats are stupid for following policies that don’t help and Republicans are stupid for not making headway in a constituency that really lacks leadership.
Sharpton, Jackson and Obama?

Please. We are losing to THOSE guys.

How stupid can we be?

Pretty darn stupid, apparently; nationally stupid.

Our national stupidity is on full display in the Washington Post’s latest attempt to get behind a really bad idea as a substitute for policies that would actually help blacks.

The Jihadi Serial Killer no One's Talking About

Michelle Malkin / Townhall Columnist

For two bloody months, an armed jihadist serial killer ran loose across the country. At least four innocent men died this spring and summer as acts of "vengeance" on behalf of aggrieved Muslims, the self-confessed murderer has now proclaimed. Have you heard about this horror? Probably not.

 

The usual suspects who decry hate crimes and gun violence haven't uttered a peep. Why? Like O.J.'s glove: If the narrative don't fit, you must acquit. The admitted killer will be cast as just another "lone wolf" whose familiar grievances and bloodthirsty Islamic invocations mean nothing.

I say: Enough with the whitewashing. Meet Ali Muhammad Brown. His homicidal Islamic terror spree took him from coast to coast. The 29-year-old career thug admitted to killing Leroy Henderson in Seattle in April; Ahmed Said and Dwone Anderson-Young in Seattle on June 1; and college student Brendan Tevlin, 19, in Essex County, New Jersey, on June 25. Tevlin was gunned down in his family Jeep on his way home from a friend's house. Ballistics and other evidence linked all the victims to Muhammad Brown. Police apprehended him last month hiding in an encampment near the Watchung Mountains of West Orange, New Jersey.

While he was on the run, he disguised himself in a Muslim keffiyeh. He carried a notebook with jihadist scribblings and advice on evading detection. I obtained the latest charging documents filed in Washington state, which detail the defiant domestic terrorist's motives.

Muhammad Brown told investigators that Tevlin's slaying was a "just kill." The devout Islamic adherent proclaimed: "My mission is vengeance. For the lives, millions of lives are lost every day."

Echoing jihadist Fort Hood mass killer Nidal Hasan, Muhammad Brown cited Muslim deaths in "Iraq, Syria, (and) Afghanistan" as the catalysts for his one-man Islamic terror campaign. "All these lives are taken every single day by America, by this government. So a life for a life."

When a detective asked him to clarify whether all four murders were "done for vengeance for the actions of the United States in the Middle East," Muhammad Brown stated unequivocally: "Yes." He added that he was "just doing (his) small part."

Seattle's left-wing mayor, Ed Murray, rushed to issue a statement -- which might as well have sported an insipid "Coexist" bumper sticker across the page -- asserting that Muhammad Brown's seething, deadly hatred did "not reflect the values of Muslims." But the fact is Ali Muhammad Brown has plenty of company. Seattle alone has been a long-festering hotbed of anti-American, anti-Semitic jihadism.

In 2011, a Muslim terror ring led by Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif and Walli Mujahidh plotted "to kill officers and employees of the Department of Defense who worked at the (Military Entrance Processing Stations) located in the Federal Center South building in Seattle, Washington, and to kill other persons assisting such officers and employees in the performance of their duties" using "fully-automatic weapons pistols, and fragmentation grenades."

In 2007, Seattle jihadist James Ujaama pleaded guilty to terrorism charges related to his plan to establish a terror-training ground in Bly, Oregon. He had previously pleaded guilty to aiding the Taliban.

In 2006, Everett, Washington Islamic revenge-seeker Naveed Haq shot six innocent women and killed one at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle building while spewing anti-Israel hatred and Muslim diatribes.

In 2002, James Ujaama's mosque leader, Abdul Raheem Al Arshad Ali of the radical Dar-us-Salaam mosque in Seattle's Central District, was first arrested on illegal weapons charges. He had provided arms to fellow Seattle-area Muslim cleric, Semi Osman. The ethnic Lebanese born in Sierra Leone had served in a naval reserve fueling unit based in Tacoma, Washington. Osman had access to fuel trucks similar to the type used by al-Qaida in the 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers, which killed 19 U.S. airmen and wounded nearly 400 other Americans. Osman later pleaded guilty to illegal weapons possession.

Another militant Seattle jihadist, Muslim convert Ruben Shumpert (aka Amir Abdul Muhaimin) was arrested after an FBI raid in 2004 for his role in a terror-financing scheme. He skipped out on his sentencing hearing and turned up in Somalia, where he was killed fighting the U.S. military. Terror group al Shabaab hailed Muhaimin as a martyr.

Which brings us back to Ali Muhammad Brown, who had been arrested 10 years ago as part of Muhaimin's suspected terror-financing ring. A decade later, despite being on the feds' radar screen, four innocent men are dead at Muhammad Brown's hand.

These homegrown Muslim haters don't want to coexist. They want to kill and help fund and train other Islamic killers. They are living and working among us, embedded in local mosques and inside our military. Where are our political leaders? Making Kumbaya excuses, sitting on the sidelines and golfing while homegrown and global jihad burn.

Allen West Targeted By Media Matters For America

Javier Manjarres / The Shark Tank

 

 

One could only laugh at how liberal propagandists are so-enamored (obsessed) with former Congressman Allen West, who to them is the anti-Christ himself.

Media Matters has just posted a their very own detailed opposition research talking points on everything Allen West.

You would think that Media Matters had more important things to do than go after a FOX News Contributor, but the these guys really fear West, and the influence he wields.

It is so obvious that West scares the crapola out of them, and because he hasn’t ruled out a possible future run for higher office, perhaps Media Matters is trying to stay a step ahead of the former Army Colonel and Congressman?

Fat chance this will happen. Allen West once said,” I won’t be ambushed.’

Here are some of the entries about Allen West that the ‘media’ organization posted on their website:

Fox News contributor Allen West is endorsing and holding events for GOP candidates and organizations across the country. Republicans are accepting West’s help despite his history of toxic remarks, including calling President Obama an “Islamist” and “disgusting racist,” attacking feminists for “neutering American men,” and smearing Democrats as communists, Nazis, and anti-Semites.

Allen West Is Endorsing Republican Candidates Across The Country

West Created The Allen West Guardian Fund To Support Republican Candidates. The Allen West Guardian Fund states it “was established as a PAC to support conservative military veteran and minority Republicans running for state and federal office, in the same vein as Allen West.” West wrote in an email that he has “hand-picked 14 hard-charging conservatives that I know we can count on to bring conservative values back to Washington and I’m doing everything in my power to see that they are successful.”

[AllenWestGuardianFund.com, accessed 8/20/14; Allen West Guardian Fund email, 8/19/14]

West Is Endorsing At Least Nine 2014 Candidates. West’s endorsements include Dan Bongino (MD-6), Tom Cotton (AR-Senate), Joni Ernst (IA-Senate), Will Hurd (TX-23), Larry Kaifesh (Il-8), Barry Loudermilk (GA-11), Mia Love (UT-4), Lee Zeldin (NY-1), and Ryan Zinke (MT-At Large). He also promotes candidates “to watch” on his website, including Jorge Bonilla (FL-9). [AllenWestGuardianFund.com, accessed 8/20/14]

Media On West’s Support: “Controversial,” “Extremist,” Won’t Appeal To Mainstream Voters

Arkansas Times’ Brantley: “Do You Really Want To Be Seen” With West? Arkansas Times writer Max Brantley noted West’s history of incendiary remarks and wondered why Arkansas Senate candidate Tom Cotton accepted the support of an “extremist.”

Brantley added: “Do you really want to be seen in public with this kind of person when mainstream voters will decide this election? It’s another striking comment on Cotton’s lack of judgment.” [Arkansas Times, 5/16/14]

Newsday: “He’s Not Going To Appeal To The District’s Democrats And Some Non-Aligned Voters.”Newsday’s Washington correspondent Tom Brune reported on West’s upcoming September 8 event with New York congressional candidate Lee Zeldin, and noted that West is “a controversial tea-party hero” who “will fire up Zeldin’s conservative followers, but he’s not going to appeal to the district’s Democrats and some non-aligned voters.” [Newsday, 8/14/14]

West’s Smear Of Duckworth Became Campaign Baggage For Republican Challenger. In May, West questioned the “loyalties” of decorated veteran and Illinois Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D) for serving with her fellow Democrats on the Benghazi select committee.

The attack became a campaign issue, as Duckworth’s campaign criticized challenger Larry Kaifesh for accepting West’s support. Media outlets, including the Chicago Sun-Times and Daily Herald, covered the controversy. [Media Matters, 5/22/14; Daily Herald, 5/23/14; Chicago Sun-Times, 5/22/14]

West Smears Democrats As Racists, Communists, Nazis, Slaveholders
West Called Obama And Attorney General Holder “Vile And Disgusting Racists.” West wrote of President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder: “How long will it be before ‘you people’ realize you have elevated someone to the office of president who abjectly despises you — not to mention his henchman Holder. Combined they are the most vile and disgusting racists.” [AllenBWest.com, 1/14/14, via Media Matters]

The Islamic State’s control and sale of Iraqi oil could lead to ‘global catastrophe’
Pamela Geller / Atlas Shrugs
 
We liberated Iraq from a vicious dictator, only to have the uber-left Democrat President lost it to the very jihadists we sought to defeat –

Now it’s not oil for food, it’s oil for jihad.

The Islamic State now controls seven oil fields and two small refineries in northern Iraq, bringing in as much as $2 million per day, as experts warn that the oil flow will continue translating into terror funds for militants if unchecked.

Add it to the long list of Obama’s epic failures, or perhaps successes, if you are — as he seems very much to be — pro-jihad.

ISIS’ thirst for oil could lead to ‘global catastrophe’ if unchecked, experts say,” By Joshua Rhett Miller, Fox News, August 21, 2014 

Islamic State’s thirst for blood has the world on edge, but its equally insatiable yearning for oil could prove a “catastrophe” for the global economy if the terror organization isn’t stopped, experts say. 

The jihadist group, formerly known as ISIS, now controls seven oil fields and two small refineries in northern Iraq, bringing in as much as $2 million per day by selling up to 40,000 barrels via middlemen in illicit deals. The black market oil sells for roughly $25 to $60 per barrel, compared to the current market rate of $102, according to Luay al-Khatteeb, founder and executive director of the Iraq Energy Institute. And while this is a veritable drop in the global bucket of oil production, the...

Obama Administration broke law by freeing jihadis for Bergdahl

Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

 

No kidding, really? But it doesn’t matter. Nothing will result from this. John Boehner may have a good cry, but that will be it.

“Oversight Report: Obama Admin Violated Law by Freeing Taliban Members,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, August 21, 2014:

The Obama administration violated federal law when it released five senior Taliban leaders from prison without notifying Congress, as is legally mandated, according to an investigation by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

The GAO concluded in a report issued Thursday that the Obama administration failed to provide proper notification of the Taliban release and illegally used taxpayer funds that were not appropriated to enable the inmate transfer, according to the report.

The Obama administration in May secretly struck a deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan to free from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba five of its top leaders in exchange for the return of captured U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl, who was later accused by fellow soldiers of having deserted the Army prior to his capture.

The Pentagon was found to have “violated” the 2014 Department of Defense Appropriations Act “when it transferred five individuals detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the nation of Qatar without providing at least 30 days notice to certain congressional committees,” according to the report.

The Defense Department also was legally prohibited from using congressionally appropriated funds to pay for the transfer of detainees from Gitmo without first getting approval from Congress, which the Obama administration failed to do, according to the report.

“As a consequence of using its appropriations in a manner specifically prohibited by law, DOD also violated the Antideficiency Act,” which prevents unauthorized government expenditures, the GAO found.

GAO concludes that “when DOD failed to notify specified congressional committees at least 30 days in advance of its transfer of Guantanamo Bay detainees to Qatar, DOD used appropriated funds in violation of section 8111” of the law.

The oversight agency further concluded that the Pentagon and Obama administration clearly failed to “notify the relevant congressional committees at least 30 days in advance of the transfer,” the report states. “In addition, because DOD used appropriated funds to carry out the transfer when no money was available for that purpose, DOD violated the Antideficiency Act.”

The Pentagon was found to have used $988,400 from the Army’s operation and maintenance to fund the mission.

While the Pentagon defended its actions when asked for an explanation by the GAO, the investigation ultimately found that the “DOD has dismissed the significance of the express language enacted in” the law prohibiting it from using congressionally appropriated funds to execute the Taliban transfer.

The Pentagon legally should have notified Congress of its actions before funding and carrying out the transfer, according to the report.

“To read section 8111 [of the relevant law] otherwise would render the notification requirement meaningless,” the GAO wrote.

The GAO further concludes that the Pentagon violated the Antideficienty Act by inappropriately funding the transfer of the five Taliban leaders from Gitmo.

DOD “obligated funds that were not legally available for obligation because DOD did not satisfy the notification requirements,” the GAO wrote.

Ex-CIA Officer: 'There Are ISIS Sleeper Cells In This Country'

A former CIA officer said Thursday he has no doubt Islamic State (ISIS) sleeper cells are already planted on U.S. soil.

An unnamed U.S. intelligence official told CNN there's already an indication of ISIS sleeper cells in Europe that could target U.S. embassies and other American interests.

Story continues below video.
http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/cia-officer-isis-sleeper/2014/08/21/id/590228/?ns_mail_uid=32379927&ns_mail_job=1582599_08222014&promo_code=7gg9l36c

But former CIA officer Bob Baer told the network ISIS is already on this side of the Atlantic.

"I have been told with no uncertainty there are ISIS sleeper cells in this country," he said.

Though CNN said two U.S. officials had refuted the claim, they're worried ISIS militants with passports might travel to the United States to launch attacks on American soil, CNN reported.

One ISIS fighter already has hinted as much.

In several telephone conversations with a Reuters reporter over the past few months, Islamic State fighters suggest their leader, Iraqi Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is planning something for the West – and that attacks could take place through sleeper cells in both Europe and the United States.

“The West are idiots and fools," one fighter taunted, according to Reuters. "They think we are waiting for them to give us visas to go and attack them or that we will attack with our beards or even Islamic outfits.

"They think they can distinguish us these days – they are fools and more than that they don’t know we can play their game in intelligence. They infiltrated us with those who pretend to be Muslims and we have also penetrated them with those who look like them."

About 100 Americans are being tracked by the FBI because of their travels to Syria, some to join ISIS, analysts say. And ISIS is actively recruiting Westerners and European Muslims who could easily enter the US.

"Clearly ISIS, if you're interested in that ideology, that's the most exciting thing to go and join right now," CNN analyst Peter Bergen told CNN.

But Haras Rafiq of the Quilliam Foundation told CNN al-Baghdadi is "a narcissistic psychopath" on a barbaric mission.

"He wants to be bigger than Osama bin Laden, and one of the ways he will measure that is how effective and how big the terrorist activities he can carry out in the West are compared to what bin Laden was able to do," he said.

Even the British media are condemning Obama’s fist-bumping, high-fiving, and laughing on the golf course just MINUTES after pledging ‘justice’ for journalist James Foley

Bare Naked Islam 

 

‘We will be relentless’ (right after my vacation), said Barack Hussein Obama.

 

UK Daily Mail  Obama reacted to the on-camera slaying of photojournalist James Foley for five minutes on Wednesday, telling a global audience that ‘when people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what’s necessary to see that justice is done.’

Less than 10 minutes after leaving the podium Obama teed-off and was seen laughing with friends and fist-bumping them during a five-hour game Farm Neck Golf Course on Martha’s Vineyard  – his seventh round in ten days.

The decision brought a chorus of condemnation from TV commentators, journalists, conservative partisans and Twitter users.

Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters could hardly contain his anger Wednesday night on the Fox News Channel as he discussed Obama’s reactions to the ISIS terror network’s beheading of Foley, an American who had been missing since 2012. ‘There is no way the president should be stupid enough to go play golf’ after such a somber speech, Peters said. 

 

‘Not only did he insult the Foley family; he sent a message to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (the leader of ISIS) and all of the other jihadi terrorist militants – now soldiers of a jihadi army – that he doesn’t take it all seriously.’

 

The New York Times had digital egg on its face for hours while Obama golfed, publishing a story about his early afternoon speech headlined: ‘Obama Outraged Over Beheading, Vows to Stay on Course.’ The grey lady eventually changed her headline.

 

Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert told Mailonline that Obama’s detached attitude suggests he hasn’t been engaged in the hunt for Foley’s murderer. ‘Unfortunately for those who want evil ISIS members eliminated before they kill more Americans,’ Gohmert said, ‘the president spent more time lining up his many putts than he did lining up efforts to stop the killers.’  

Liz Cheney took to Twitter to say: ‘Obama is more dedicated to golfing that he is to defending the nation’.

ABC News political director Rick Klein told Fox host Greta van Susteren that the White House is ‘well past the point of caring about the so-called “optics” of things like this. And the president himself clearly doesn’t … care about the way it looks.’ Klein said he found it ‘jarring to see him on the golf course just minutes after giving an address like this.’

 

Twitter exploded with tens of thousands of tweets expressing disbelief that Obama was ‘tone deaf,’ ‘clueless’ and ‘disrespectful.’ ‘Golfing today is in bad taste,’ tweeted Vox editor-in-chief Ezra Klein, a long-time Obama backer. ‘What message does it send?’ asked the influential Drudge Report editor and Washington Times columnist Joe Curl.

 

David Horowitz, a conservative convert known for his slash-and-burn rhetoric, held nothing back. ‘ISIS beheads Foley. Obama makes an empty statement and takes another round of golf,’ he summarized. ‘Is this an invitation to kill more Americans or what?‘

Op-ed:
Staying the Course is NO Longer an Option
By: Diane Sori
 
“The life of this American citizen, Obama, depends on your next decision.”
- ISIS member who had just beheaded James Foley speaking about the other American captive, Steven Sotloff

The only way to eradicate evil is to expose evil. The only way to expose evil is to understand evil. To understand evil is the only way we will garner the anger needed to stop evil. And the only way to stop evil is to take action against evil. It is that simple.

And in this case I am talking about the evil known as ISIS. We here in America have been somewhat complacent, somewhat immune, and somewhat ignorant as to who and what ISIS really is for the atrocities they committed were always done 'over there'...done to 'them' but NOT to us...that is until this past Tuesday when a video surfaced of a member of ISIS beheading an American reporter...a beheading done in the name of islam...a beheading done supposedly in retaliation for recent U.S. air strikes against ISIS forces in northern Iraq.

Sura 47:4: "...when ye meet the Unbelievers, smite at their necks..."

James Foley, a freelance reporter for primarily the Boston-based Global Post, was abducted in Syria almost two years ago while covering that country’s civil war. And now in this video titled, 'A Message to America,' a masked executioner...and notice that these cowards always cover their faces...that very man, James Foley, is seen being decapitated with a knife. And this unfathomable act of savagery...an act our civilized minds simply could NOT fully grasp before now has suddenly been forced into our consciousness because it was done to 'one of our own.' And this most unspeakable of all acts was posted on YouTube...and since been removed...less than 24 hours after ISIS declared, “We will drown all of you in blood.”

Removed from YouTube...and herein lies a serious problem. In the past when beheadings were posted it was always of 'others' NEVER 'one of our own.' While we had Wall Street journalist Daniel Pearl kidnapped by Pakistani militants and beheaded by al-Qaeda's Khalid Sheikh Mohammed on February 1, 2002, and we had the beheadings of civilian contractors Nicholas Berg, Eugene Armstrong, and Jack Hensley also carried out by al-Qaeda during the height of the Iraq War in May 2004, the truth is that these deaths, at they time they occurred, got a band-aid of sorts put upon them because the reality of how they died was just too much for our western sensibilities to bear. And that was a mistake for these savages raged on and grew stronger as their numbers increased...morphing into even more dangerous groups than those in operation at the time of Pearl's and the other's deaths.

And because we allowed ourselves to become immune and somewhat liaise-faire in our attitudes about these unspeakable acts, we have now been forced to look at these videos in a desperate attempt to play catch up, if you will, as we try to understand the mindset of an enemy who uses such savagery as a means to NOT only call attention to themselves, but to control our emotions...to control our reactions...by instilling such fear in us that we remain silent. Focused on by the media whores for shock value and ratings alone, these beheadings...and James Foley's in particular...must be viewed as a learning tool to expose us to the harsh reality of a fate that might await us all if we do NOT stop these savages now...stop them in their countries before they bring their atrocities to ours.

We must stop them, but to stop them we have to be able to reverse the mindset and overturn the policies of an American president who in his heart does NOT want to stop them in achieving their goal of establishing an islamic caliphate...an enemy who is also out to destroy Israel at all costs. And we have an American president burnt out and disengaged from reality...for if he wasn't 'limited engagements' and 'staying the course'...'containment' he likes to calls it...would be immediately replaced with 'shock and awe'...as in 'shock and awe' these savages until ever last one of them is dead. And if that seems harsh to some, those people must now wake up to the fact that we indeed are in a war against islam, and that in this war there can only be one victor, and you best pray that victor is us.

And sadly, in this war we are dealing with an emotionally absent president...a president who goes off to play golf immediately after coldly and uncaringly...with NO fire in his belly calling for revenge...calling for payback...spewed a teleprompted statement concerning Foley's death...spewed that statement calling the enemy ISIL instead of ISIS to show his brethren that he does NOT recognize the Jewish State of Israel. And we are dealing with a president who refuses to acknowledge the jihad threat at all, for this is a president who stood before those cameras saying James Foley's beheading was NOT done in the name of religion...was NOT representative of islam...knowing full well that it was for killing those who do NOT believe as they do is a basic tenet of islam. And this is an American president who by his very actions when NOT needed...coupled with his inactions when actions were truly needed...has put America and Americans, both here and abroad, in more danger now than any of us were in the days before 9/11 changed America forever.

The beheading of reporter James Foley was a barbaric act done by savages who have NO right to live amongst civilized men...and it was an act meant NOT only to break our hearts but was meant to instill fear in us that anyone of us could be next. And do NOT for a minute think we couldn't be for there are mosques throughout our country that are NOTHING but fronts for jihadi training camps...mosques whose members are 'sleeping'...if you will...waiting for that call to jihad to awaken them to wreck havoc, carnage, and death here upon American soil.

And what of the man who we now grieve for...James Wright Foley had previously been taken captive in Libya while he was reporting in Benghazi, and was held for 44 days before the fall of Gaddafi. He returned briefly to the U.S. upon his release then went back to Syria as a free-lance reporter for the Global Post and Agence France-Presse. Captured again when in Syria, Foley at the time of his death was in the hands of the Dawood Bridgade, a group that was originally aligned with the relatively moderate opposition group the Free Syrian Army, but this group had recently switched sides now pledging their allegiance to ISIS, and James Foley was 'sacrificed' as a token of that allegiance.

But it also must be known that Foley went to Syria to show his support for the Free Syrian Army in their fight against the Syrian government of Basar al-Assad. In fact, many of his what should have been professional unbiased reports and tweets sent from Syria (click link to see tweets: https://twitter.com/jfoleyjourno/with_replies) showed a decidedly personal preference for those he personally supported. Foley also had NO love for Mitt Romney nor for Israel as many of his tweets also show.

But in the end as the Obama PR brigade tries to convince us that a 'serious attempt' was made last year to rescue Foley and the other journalists held...as Eric Holder and the DOJ announced yesterday that James Foley's death will be investigated through a criminal investigation instead of being declared an 'act of war'...there are two points that must take priority over Foley's 'supposed' personal political allegiances...that must take priority over Obama's attempted cover-ups and lies. First, James Wright Foley was an American citizen who was very brutally, barbarically, and savagely MURDERED for NO other reason than for the enemy to use as a propaganda device to try and scare us into acceptance of their brand of islam and to try and get us to submit to their will. And second, remember always that if ISIS operatives could behead someone who was somewhat sympathetic to them and their ideology can you just imagine what they'll do to us who are NOT.

Just something to think about...just something to truly fear.
