Old Jarhead's Political SitRep for April 22, 2013
Robert A. HallSeriously? Obama: 'This has been a tough week'
Excerpt: Obama warned,
cautioning against ascribing motivations to "entire groups of
people." (Does this mean that he and Holder and the Southern Poverty Law
Center and the rest of the leftist crowd will stop “ascribing motivations” to
all gun owners, evangelical Christians Tea Party member and bitter clinging
white males? Not likely. ~Bob)
Will the Islamic Terrorist bomber talk?
Everyone is celebrating taking him
alive so he'll tell us what his motives are and if he had any help. As to
motives, you have to be a politically correct idiot (redundant I know) k\not to
recognize Sudden Jihad Syndrome, where a moderate Muslim next door goes Jihad
and starts killing kuffer for Allah. Likely his older brother from reports was
an Islamist long ago, roped him into murder of the innocent. I think he's
likely to talk about Allah and Jihad to justify his crimes, thus bringing
fourth another round of "we can't judge all Muslims." That's true.
But it is also true the rest of us cannot tell when one will go Jihad on us. As
to talking about help, what can we offer him? He knows we won't shoot him or
water board him. What are we going to offer if he talks? Reducing his time from
four consecutive life terms to three? He will know, talk of not, he will never
see daylight again, but that we will feed and care for him and the ACLU will
ensure he can worship his god as he sees fit. Except with more bombs. ~Bob
Quote from Jonah Goldberg
More seriously, my pretty obvious
point ("Do you make any other kind?" -- The Couch) is that we now
live in a climate where there's a ghoulish appetite to transform every act of
terror and murder into a useful plot point in a political narrative. This is a
bipartisan phenomenon, and while I think you could make the case that the Left
is worse (in fact, I will in just a minute), it's silly to deny that we don't
do the same thing. Moreover, given where we are as a country, it is
unavoidable. This sort of thing is too seductive. The Left desperately wants
every terrorist attack to be conducted by Rush Limbaugh's biggest fan, so it's
impossible not to cheer when the Left is disappointed. And given the
outrageous double standards that the Left -- and the elite
"responsible" media -- use to demonize the Right, the urge to throw
it back their face is irresistible. (From The Goldberg File—worth subscribing
to from NRO. ~Bob)

The ‘Co-exist’ Bombers: By Mark Steyn
Excerpt: In America, all
atrocities are not equal: Minutes after the Senate declined to support
so-called gun control in the wake of the Newtown massacre, the president rushed
ill-advisedly on air to give a whiny, petulant performance predicated on the
proposition that one man’s mass infanticide should call into question the
constitutional right to bear arms. Simultaneously, the media remain terrified
that another man’s mass infanticide might lead you gullible rubes to question
the constitutional right to abortion, so the ongoing Kermit Gosnell trial in
Philadelphia has barely made the papers — even though it involves large numbers
of fully delivered babies who were decapitated and had their feet chopped off
and kept in pickling jars.

terrorists who carried out the Boston Marathon bombings should have been
deported years ago after a criminal conviction, as called for by U.S. U.S.

IL Dems Revolt Against Gun Control Law
Excerpt: Democrats enjoy a
supermajority in the Illinois House of Representatives, holding 71 seats to the
GOP's 47. On Wednesday, the same day the US Senate voted down gun control
legislation, powerful Democrat Speaker Michael Madigan tried to push a
restrictive gun control measure through his chamber. The result was an open revolt
by downstate Democrats, with almost half the Democrat caucus joining the GOP to
kill the measure. The bill went down 31-76, a rare defeat for the legendary
Madigan.

These Soldiers Did the Boston Marathon Wearing 40-Pound Packs. Then They Helped Save
Lives.
Excerpt: At 5:20 a.m. on
Monday, four hours before the Boston Marathon's elite runners took off, a group
of 15 active-duty soldiers from the Massachusetts National Guard gathered at
the starting line in Hopkinton. Each soldier was in full combat
uniform and carried a "ruck," a military backpack weighing about 40
pounds. The rucks were filled with Camelbacks of water, extra uniforms,
Gatorade, changes of socks—and first-aid and trauma kits. It was all just
supposed to be symbolic. … "You never think you're gonna need it, but you
always have to have a contingency plan," says Lieutenant
Stephen Fiola of the 1060th Transportation Company, who
worked with the Military Friends Foundation to organize the march.
Is this the mosque that the Boston Marathon Muslim terrorists are alleged to have attended?
Excerpt: On May 22, 2010,
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick embraced the radical leadership of the
Muslim American Society (MAS), including Imam Abdullah Faarooq who told
followers they must “pick up the gun and the sword” in response to the arrests
of local Islamic extremist Aafia Siddiqui and terror suspect Tarek Mehanna.
Many Thanks, But Just Wait
As we each in our own
way mourn the victims of the most recent Muslim terrorists, watch and
wait to see how quickly our citizenry will forget the unwavering bravery of the
police involved. Many of us have no contact with our police and have no idea
what they have to deal with each and every day. We've all heard of isolated
police abuses. But, where I live we have the most professional police force
that anyone could wish for, and any abuse is swiftly dealt with. They all face
uncountable dangers every day without complaint, as do the police throughout
the nation. Our President will never denounce these terrorist acts as
being part and parcel of a world-wide Muslim assault against the "Great
Satan", our country which has been so accepting of every person and group
for hundreds of years. It's hard to believe that we've gotten to the stage
where we willingly bring people like this into our nation. And, despite our
laws having been broken,http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3009899/posts?page=1,
are unwilling to deport them. Had our DHS followed the law none of this would
have happened. Someone needs to take the blame on this one, but you can guess
who will not. Regards, --Rod

20 Questions Liberals Can't Answer. By John Hawkins

we were hearing that the Boston Marathon bombers COULD BE conservative, which
proved that the Right is evil. Now, when we know that the terrorists are

My Thoughts On Boston
Excerpt: Watching the news about
the Boston bombing and the Muslim fanatics who perpetrated the deed, I cannot
help reflect on all the nasty attacks that liberals and progressives and Muslim
activists have conducted against conservatives who have attempted to warn
Americans that their enemies are religious fanatics driven by an apocalyptic
hatred of us because we are Jews, Christians, atheists, democrats – in a
word, infidels.
NYPD vindicated --Will the AP apologize? By Bob McManus
Excerpt: Looks like it’s time for
the Associated Press to give back its Pulitzer Prize. Just as it’s time for
politicians — and especially the press — to stop chewing on Police Commissioner
Ray Kelly’s leg over the NYPD’s so-far-enormously-successful anti-terrorist
surveillance programs. Knock wood on the “successful” part, of course. If
America has learned anything about terrorism since 9/11, it’s that the threat
is incessant, though hugely unpredictable as to source, specific motivation and
any given terrorist’s tool kit of choice.
Worth Reading : Chicago
Excerpt: This always happens:
every time there is a jihad terror attack or foiled plot, the mainstream media
fills up with stories about Muslims worrying about a "backlash." The
"backlash" never materializes. In reality, the stream of stories
about fears of "backlash" are designed to deflect attention away from
the jihad attack and onto Muslims as victims, who as victims ought to be exempt
from scrutiny and accountability (even though no U.S. mosque or Islamic school
has any program designed to teach against the al-Qaeda version of Islam that
they ostensibly reject). In reality, as David J. Rusin noted in National Review last January, "a detailed
analysis of FBI statistics covering ten full calendar years since the 9/11
terrorist attacks reveals that, on a per capita basis, American Muslims,
contrary to spin, have been subjected to hate crimes less often than other
prominent minorities.
The Boston
Marathon Terrorists – Look Into Their Education. By Morgan Brittany
Excerpt: The information is
pouring in now that the two Boston Marathon terrorists have been identified and
the primary question on news and radio has been, “how could these boys have
become so radicalized in this country?” Really? Are you kidding me? How are
these so-called journalists missing one of the major pieces of the
puzzle? They need to do a little research into where these two went to
school and who their teachers were.

Worth Reading : The Dangers of Politically Inspired Moral Outrage—From Sandy Hook to What
Next? By Victor Davis
Hanson
Excerpt: It is a bad idea to
demonize your opponents with epithets such “shameful” and “lying,” given that
the case was not made that proposed gun-control legislation would have
prevented a Sandy Hook . To prevent these
school-shooting horrors might require either armed guards in schools, or
Draconian new laws about gratuitous screen and video-game violence, or more
frequently incarcerating the mentally unstable, or, on the theory of reducing
rapid rates of fire, confiscating millions of previously sold semi-automatic
handguns and rifles. All those measures would have offended millions across the
political spectrum in ways that demonizing the NRA apparently does not.

If blacks can criticize whites,
then whites should be able to say the inner city “needs to get its act
together.” That was the bottom line of “Being
White in Philly,” a controversial article written by Robert Huber and
published in Philadelphia Magazine. What followed was predictable. Philadelphia
Mayor Michael Nutter said the article was a “sin” and an “incitement to extreme
reaction.” The mayor called upon the Philadelphia Human Relations Commission to
“rebuke” the magazine and Huber. (The writer didn’t understand. The mayor is
concerned about black on black violence. Mentioning Black on white violence is
racist—the facts too often are. Which is why everyone has heard of Trayvon
Martin, almost no one of Chris Cervini. ~Bob.

Worth Reading
Excerpt: At some point refusing to be terrorized looks a lot
like refusing to pay attention to what terrorism is. After September 11 the
government encouraged everyone to get back out there and shop. The message now
is take in an interfaith service and then visit your local mosque for a
sanitized tour that explains how peaceful Islam really is. There’s a lot of
talk about finishing the marathon and MoveOn.orging on our way past the
unpleasantness. But there are two standards on being terrorized. When a
mentally ill man shoots up a school, then everyone is obligated to be
terrorized all the time.
