Breitbart London ^ | 6/18/14 | Raheem Kassam

Former Australian Prime Minister John Howard has today referred to U.S. President Barack Obama´s approach to Islamic extremism as ´disappointingly complacent´ in a speech to the Margaret Thatcher Liberty Conference in London. The high-profile event was attended by hundreds of political journalists, activists, writers, legislators and other global stakeholders. Howard’s comments were met by nods of approval across the room as he took aim at Barack Obama´s West Point commencement speech of last month. Howard said: "Islamic fundamentalism is a far greater threat than many people in their culturally equivocal way believe. "Obama´s West Point commencement speech… with the greatest

Those crazy Aussies eat vegimite so what can one expect. They say tomatoe, we say tomato. they say Disappointingly complacent, we say actively collaborating.

We truly are one people separated by a common language. and one really bad sandwich spread ;)

Busy elevating the status of the US. Obama is a master at that.

All other countries know he is a muslim goat licker and a marxist fool.

Only progressives refuse to acknowledge the truth.

Remember, one of Obama’s greatest foreign buddies is Turkey’s Erdogan, and Erdogan is backing ISIS.

I have often said I want to come back in 500 years to read the history we are living now. It will, if humanity survives, be brutal on the libs.

And they deserve it.

Aren’t both Mr. Erdogan and Mr. Obama Sunni Muslims? Just like ISIS and Saudi Arabia? Well, there you are.

They keep dancing around the evidence. “Complacent” is just three letters from “complicit.” Egypt, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afganistan...all set up for extremist takeovers.

Why wait,you are reading it now, albeit from the eyes of a complicit drive-by press, one that would sell its soul for nothing.

Don’t be so sure he’s Sunni. It was the House of Saud that funded his early years. The fact he screwed them is simply the Chicago/communist in him asserting his ‘rightful place in the world’.

Progressives really ought to be called regressives. They are statists, or in more medieval terms, tribalists.

They think that 1984 is a blueprint for Utopia.

Because I know the lib version. I want to see how people not dedicated to his power treat Obama when there are no NSA/NYT/CNN/Liberals/Democrats to cloud the view.

And lets face it. Even if they Final Solutioned every VRWC member on the planet, this reign of error will eat itself shortly thereafter. The truth will find a way into the ‘books’.

The House of Saud is Sunni.

Wahabbism is a sub-set of the Sunni faith.

There ate four works one need consume to understand Liberalism. And I say this seriously and with no jest intended.

1984 George Orwell
Brave New World - Aldus Huxley
Idiocracy - the movie
The 48 Laws of Power - Robert Greene.

ESPECIALLY the 48 Laws of Power. It is an absolute crime for a conservative to draw breath without having read it.

"Howard said: "Islamic fundamentalism is a far greater threat than many people in their culturally equivocal way believe."

Therein lies the bottom line: Islamic fundamentalism will be the ruin of politically correct Western civilization. As many politicians have said recently regarding ISIS, "it's not a matter of when, but how they hit us again".

ISIS has a boat load of money from raiding the Mosul bank. Think they aren't making plans to kill us in mass?

As I've said many times, nuke or carpet bomb them all! I just don't give a damn about collateral damage. Start with Iraq and then Aftganiscrap. Better their women and children than ours! Show the world. Bet Russia, China, and others would be relieved if we turned their shitty little countries into glass. And while we're at it, let Iran and Saudi Arabia know they're next if they don't play nice.

We are currently in World War III promoted by a sick cult religion. WWII was about imperialism by the socialist Nazis. They and Japan/Italy wanted the World. So does this sick Islamic culture. I say kill ALL Islamists now. Do a Dresdan or Bremen on them and/or use strategic nukes. I don't care who dies there, as long as it's not my children and grand-children here.

Pushing the collateral damage meme allowed Liberals to make people believe that ‘war’ could be fought just fine thanks without people dying or getting hurt.

The point of was is and always has been brutally fast and violent undertakings that either wipe out the enemy or strip him of the will to fight.

Controlling the education/media of the country allowed the stupid virus to spread. Now most of America thinks that war is best fought with harsh language and even that is considered ‘brutal’.

Unfortunately a city or two, some large number of people will have to die on the nightly propaganda show before the liberalism is horrified out of the modern conscious. Not that I want that. But it will happen eventually. Liberals method of ‘war’ has ensured it.
