The Love Affair Ends

Erick Erickson / Townhall Columnist

 

Voters around the country will head into Election Day prepared to end their love affair with Barack Obama. Republicans should be cautious in how they interpret the voters' mixed signals.

First, it is important to understand the president's delusions. A series of reports have come out that the White House believes Democrats should embrace the president. Never mind that only a month ago White House aides said the president would be fine if Democrats campaigned against him.

It appears the president is still taking it personally. One almost expects President Obama to announce publicly that these Democrats will deny him three times before the rooster crows on Election Day morning.

"He doesn't think they have any reason to run away from him. He thinks there is a strong message there," a White House official told the Washington Post's Karen Tumulty. But everything on the ground shows how much further the Democrats should have run away. In Kentucky, the Democrats' candidate Allison Grimes refuses to say if she voted for Barack Obama. In Colorado, both the Democrats' Sen. Udall and Gov. Hickenlooper look set for defeat. Both wrapped their arms around Obamacare, and now both are running from it as quickly as possible.

A very visible reminder of the President's baggage showed up in polling averages in the Georgia Senate race. Democrat Michelle Nunn outspent Republican David Perdue for most of the past month in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Polling showed her surge as David Perdue declined. Republicans nationally freaked out that they could lose Georgia. But that all changed on Oct. 22, 2012.

That day, President Obama went on V-103, the most popular radio station in Atlanta's black community. He urged voters to support Michelle Nunn. He said his agenda could not be carried out without Michelle Nunn in the Senate. On that day, Michelle Nunn's support in polling averages surpassed that of David Perdue.

The next day, Republicans began running ads with President Obama's statement. They coupled those ads with an earlier statement from Michelle Nunn that she would defer to the president on issues. Nunn's surge came to an end and gravity took over. In less than 48 hours from President Obama's radio appearance, David Perdue retook the lead in the polls.

As President Obama's support collapses and more national polls show even female voters want Republicans in charge of the Senate, Republicans should be careful how they interpret this development. Essentially, all the Republican leaders have done is say loudly "we are not Barack Obama."

Voters may not like the President's job performance, but they still largely like the president personally. Republicans would be wise to see voters more as spurned lovers hoping to make their boyfriend jealous. Republicans are being used by voters who desperately want to love Barack Obama again. Only it will not happen.

With the president headed into official lame-duck status, Democrats need to pin all the blame on him personally. Whoever the Democratic nominee is for 2016, they will run on a platform of what government can do for you. Consequently, as more Americans believe big government is a failure, Democrats must convince voters that it is Barack Obama, not government, who failed.

Republicans are just a useful pawn in this scheme. However, Republicans can capitalize on this. It has not gone unnoticed that, despite press reports on how awesome Obamacare is, people still deeply dislike it. Republican outside groups ran loudly in opposition to Obamacare, though Republican leaders rarely mentioned it. Showing Republicans are willing to engage in repeal of Obamacare would help them.

It should also be noted that the Republicans who have done best this year have been those who have run as actual conservatives. The small government message has worked for Republicans. Voters, right now, are willing to go GOP just to make Obama jealous. Republicans have an opportunity to keep the voters with them if they just govern as the small government conservatives they claimed to be on the campaign trail.

Putin Sells Guns while Obama Goes Golfing

Michael Schaus /Townhall Columnist 

 

I know who I’m contacting for my next AK-47 variant. Vladimir Putin is stepping up Russia’s arms business in the wake of increased volatility throughout the Middle East. Apparently the Bond villain in Moscow realized that relying on America to fork over hundreds of millions of dollars – for a few spontaneously-combusting rocket engines – isn’t a good long-term strategy for Russian military funding.

Vlad has done a fairly decent job of rejuvenating Russia’s lagging arms sales business. And, let’s be honest, weaponry should be among the former Soviet Union’s largest export. Heck, the AK-47 is the world’s most widely recognized (and worshiped) firearm. But Putin isn’t exactly concerned with revenue… Or value. He’s a whole lot more concerned with how Russia’s arms transactions cement his position in geo-political relations.
 
Second only to America, Russia has roughly 26 percent of the global arms market. (That’s a lot of AK’s and T-72 tanks.) In 2013 the Kremlin raked in roughly 13 billion dollars by selling weapon technologies to nations like Iran, Syria, and China… So yeah, this is great news for the West. Right?

Russia has a strong interest in selling arms to the Syrian government. After all, Bashar Al Assad not only pays his bills on time (dictators tend to be a little obsessive compulsive about things like that), but he has helped to expand Russia’s influence throughout the unstable Middle East.

More importantly, Putin has seen an opportunity to strengthen his ties with both Syria and Iran as the Obama Administration trudges through improvised “strategies” to deal with the Islamic State. While Obama has been concentrating on his golf game, Putin has managed to strengthen Assad’s defense against an uprising, while simultaneously reinforcing his ties with Tehran. In short: While Obama has been pitching talking points, Putin has been selling guns.

And he’s not exactly selling them to people that like us.

Unfortunately, Putin’s growing clout in the Middle East is compounded by the Obama Administration’s penchant for relegating America to a peripheral character in world events. Obama’s foreign policy has been conducted with an apparent (and ignorant) belief that the rest of the world is currently pursuing peace and harmony with their neighbors and the international community.

Vladimir’s view of the world is, regrettably, more in line with reality: The world is a harsh place, full of conflicting national interests.

The Obama Administration is engaged as amateurs against a geopolitical Bond-villain… The Kremlin is waging a war of international manipulation against a feckless American administration intent on “leading from behind”.

Contrary to the insulated world of liberal-elite academics, the rest of the world does not conduct itself in accordance with the progressive notion of how it should behave. Obama Inc can pontificate, bloviate, and tweet all the platitudes they want; but in the end, nations willing to use force will be the ones that forge world events in the 21^st century. And those just happen to be the nations that Putin hopes to sell some guns to in the coming years.

Russia’s Middle East customer base has become a staple in the Kremlin’s geo-political strategy. And, for good reason: They’re dependable customers, and their hatred for Western style democracy seems to be fueling the market’s demand.

U.S. military ordered to hide identities, change routines to avoid jihad terrorist attacks

Pamela Geller / Atlas Shrugs

When the Canadian government advised their military to hide their identities, I railed against such surrender. This is saying, We will respond to jihad attacks by curtailing our own activities and freedoms. This is cowardice. This is saying, We will walk around in fear of the jihadis instead of being resolute in defending ourselves against them. This is outrageous and sad and completely un-American on so many levels.

Post-America under Obama.

What would Patton say?

20 to 30 former Guantanamo detainees suspected of joining the Islamic State, other jihad groups

 

Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

 

This is not surprising, since absolutely nothing was done at Guantanamo to disabuse these men of the beliefs that led them to wage jihad in the first place. Any such action would have been “Islamophobic.”

“Sources: Former Guantanamo detainees suspected of joining ISIS, other groups in Syria,” by Justin Fishel and Jennifer Griffin, FoxNews.com, October 30, 2014 (thanks to Arthur):

As many as 20 to 30 former Guantanamo Bay detainees released within the last two to three years are suspected by intelligence and Defense officials of having joined forces with the Islamic State and other militant groups inside Syria, Fox News has learned.

The development has cemented fears that the U.S. military would once again encounter militants taken off the battlefield.

The intelligence offers a mixed picture, and officials say the figures are not exact. But they are certain at least some of the released detainees are fighting with the Islamic State, or ISIS, on the ground inside Syria. Others are believed to be supporting Al Qaeda or the affiliated al-Nusra Front in Syria.

A number of former detainees also have chosen to help these groups from outside the country, financing operations and supporting their propaganda campaigns.

Sources who spoke to Fox News were not able to provide the identities of the fighters.
Senior Defense and intelligence officials say the vast majority of detainees released from Guantanamo don’t return to the fight — and of those who do, relatively few have made it to Syria.

Of the 620 detainees released from Guantanamo Bay, 180 have returned or are suspected to have returned to the battlefield.

Of those 180, sources say 20 to 30 have either joined ISIS or other militants groups in Syria, or are participating with these groups from outside countries. Officials say most of those 20 to 30 are operating inside Syria.

The development underscores just one of many long-running complications for efforts to shutter Guantanamo Bay, a promise President Obama made within hours of taking the oath of office in 2009.

Nearly six years later, that effort has run aground, complicated by problems with relocating prisoners, by concerns about fighters returning to the battlefield and by Congress’ resistance to allowing any to be detained on the U.S. mainland.

A majority of the jihadists released to their home countries tend to stay and fight locally. Afghans who return to the battlefield, for instance, tend to stay in Afghanistan.

But these officials said the former detainees who have joined ISIS in Syria have migrated from the European and African countries which agreed to receive them from the United States.

Egypt and Tunisia, as well as six European countries, are among them.

Sleeper Cells and Stealth Jihad Courtesy of Our Commander-in-Chief
By: Diane Sori

“I feel like my basic human rights have been violated.”
Kaci Hickox, Ebola exposed nurse who refuses to be quarantined

One by one they're waking up...sleeper cells via lone wolves are wrecking havoc the world over as ISIS marches forward. And our 'supposed' Commander-in-Chief drops weapons to them and then says...ooops wrong drop...yeah right...our military does NOT make that kind of mistake...unless they were deliberately given the wrong coordinates that is.

Sleeper cells...coming to life after laying low...now ordered to act...by Obama or his puppet masters perhaps...as terrorists acts are happening right here in America... acts of brutality done in the name of islam that Barack HUSSEIN Obama turns what amounts to a blind eye to. Sleeper lone wolf attacks like the Fort Hood Massacre, the naval yard shooting, the beheading of Colleen Hufford in Oklahoma, the ax-attack on NYC police officers, and the recent beheading of a Farmingdale, NY, woman that the media is keeping quiet on I might add. And we are also seeing terrorists attacks just across our northern border in Canada with the murders of two Canadian soldiers...Cpl. Nathan Cirillo of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders who was gunned down while standing watch at Parliament Hill's National War Memorial, and the targeted hit-and-run death in Quebec of another soldier...Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent...just two days before.

But the difference between the acts here in the U.S. and the acts that occurred in Canada is that Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was quick to call these acts what they were..."brutal and violent acts of terror"...and said Canada will NOT be brought to its knees by these islamic savages..."We will not be intimidated. Canada will never be intimidated,"...while our most miserable excuse of a president hems and haws so as NOT to step on his brethren's toes and deems these acts done in America NOTHING but mere 'workplace violence'...'workplace violence' NO matter that Nidal Hassan was shouting "allahu akbar" as he gunned down 13 people at Fort Hood...NO matter that Alton Nolan yelled the same vile words as he snuck up behind Colleen Hufford and oh so cavalierly cut off her head.

Sleeper cells...and all who perpetrated these acts were radicalized muslim converts...savages living amongst us...muslim converts turning a now perceived weak America even weaker in the eyes of the world. And when you add in the in-your-face loyalties of Barack HUSSEIN Obama to those out to kill us all, who then had the audacity to say NOT a word about the little American 3-month old baby girl killed in Israel in an act of terror while at the same time having his administration issue an official statement that America “expresses its deepest condolences to the family” of another terrorist shot and killed by the IDF you know we are in serious trouble. Serious trouble as our allies now look at us as NOT to be trusted for how can we be when someone in this miserable administration publicly and on-the-record...and as such had to be authorized at a higher level...lobs insults at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and that person...that coward who won't even show his face or give his name...has NOT been fired for insulting the leader of America's staunchest ally NOT only in the Middle East but in the world.

Sleeper cells waking up and now there's Obama-supported stealth jihad hiding in plain sight...ignored by the media for what it truly is as in the carefully calculated spread of islamic...of sharia law...within our country by means of activism and propaganda with the gradual under the radar infiltration of our schools (Common Core), our courts (sharia law used in adjudicating guilt or innocence), and our media through their twisting of facts to support the regime. Stealth jihad infiltrating the very fabric of our American society committed by those whose loyalties lie with Obama and the brethren instead of with the country they call home.

And now stealth jihad has NOT so silently affecting the health, safety, and welfare of the American people. Cases in point...the second nurse to contract Ebola who flew to Ohio NOT feeling well and then flew back to Texas knowing full well that she had Ebola...the doctor in NYC who suspected he was sick and chose instead to ride the subways, go bowling, and eat out at restaurants...and now nurse Kaci Hickox, the most vile of the vile, who refuses to stay in court-mandated quarantine saying her basic human rights have been violated. Caring about her rights and her rights alone NOT giving a damn about the possibility of her infecting those in her hometown as she now refuses even home quarantine.

Kaci Hickox...the CDC employee who was working with 'Doctors Without Borders' and who had just returned from Ebola-ridden Sierra Leone...the nurse who was recently released from now mandated hospital isolation and quarantine after the Obama White House pressured New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to release her. And proving Obama's hand is stirring the Ebola pot yet again is the fact that her lawyer...New York civil rights attorney Norman Siegel...who helped secure Hickox's release was a recent guest at a White House state dinner...a bit too coincidental if you ask me.

Just three more weeks and she would have been free to go her own way yet this most narcissistic and selfish 'it's all about me' woman...a woman who now says she will sue over the infringement of her rights...took to her bicycle yesterday...ignoring the court-ordered home quarantine order...and peddled her way through her town's streets risking possibly infecting her neighbors as she has in NO way passed the 21-day incubation period. Just three more weeks out of her life to assure everyone she was Ebola-free yet none of that matters to her...typical of liberals who worship at the feet of the man who thought Ebola would be his October surprise...the man who is now finding out that surprise is coming back to bite him.

Stealth jihad both silent and loud is indeed occurring in plain sight but once again is being ignored for the most part by the media...as expected...for another act of stealth jihad has been committed by those who are the pawns connected to the tentacles of this most traitorous of administrations. This time occurring in the guise of Viet-Nam era traitor Secretary of State John 'Swiftboat' Kerry who knew damn well that his useless (I believe) anti-Semitic ketchup heiress of a wife had the foundation she chairs...the Heinz Endowment...fund a restaurant...the 'Conflict Kitchen' in Pittsburgh, PA...that is using food to 'educate'...she and he say...those that hate Israel..those that hate Jews.

NO I don't think so for wrapping sandwiches in anti-Israeli propaganda paper complete with quotes from Palestinians defending terrorism and opposing the existence of Israel printed upon them is anything but educating as it's a deliberate instigating of the call to jihad by the wife of the man...a representative of the U.S. government who supposedly is still trying to broker a peace accord between Israel and the Palestinians...who is now outwardly supporting the very ones who want to wipe Israel off the map. Makes you wonder just how many other terrorist aligned organizations and groups this woman is now funding that her husband knows about...hmmm.

But sleeper cells awakening and stealth jihad happening here in America today is all par for the course for an administration...for a president...who will "stand with the muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

And Congress still won't impeach the man who is the root cause of it all...and that above all else is indeed the saddest, most pathetic, and most cowardly thing of all.
