The Cowardice of the Left Gave Us the Islamic State
Townhall.com ^ | August 12, 2014 | Michael Schaus

It must be exhausting for Barrack Obama. I sometimes feel worn down just reading about all the events going on in the world – I can’t even imagine how tiresome it must be, trying to avoid leadership on all those issues. Lucky for our Vacationer in Chief, he’s found a way… Apparently a healthy mix of golf and swimming is exactly what is needed to distract yourself from the chaos in the Middle East. And, to be fair, this genocidal chaos in Iraq is not completely the fault of a Nobel Laureate who plays the American President on TV.

The terrorist group ISIL doesn’t exist merely because a “lead from behind” US President has traded political expediency for international stability. They can also thank the appeasement mentality of Neville-Chamberlin-invertebrates throughout the world for their recent blitzkrieg of success. In fact, it is the West’s pervasive dedication to avoiding conviction that seems to embolden the murderously convicted terrorists in the Middle East.

The UN is stepping up their actions to stem the budding holocaust in Iraq: they’re writing a nasty-gram. (I hope they type the really harsh portions in all caps.) Seriously. The “greatest world power” in human history has become so weighted down with cowardice, ambivalence, and bureaucracy that – in the face of outright slaughter – the most they can muster is a few eloquent phrases and a sanction or two.

The unofficial spin doctors for Team Obama (AKA: MSNBC) have also joined the blissful bandwagon of intellectual bankruptcy. Michael Eric Dyson referred to ISIL as “so-called” terrorists… Right. The guys that thought Al Qaeda was a little too “warm and fuzzy” are only alleged terrorists. The fact that they behead, torture, crucify, rape, enslave, amputate, stone, and murder men, women, and children (in an effort to instill fear among their enemies) doesn’t actually mean anything, right?

Of course, if you’re looking for truly unhinged abandonment of reality, just glance to your left. The anti-war group, Code Pink, was spotted protesting America’s (limited) involvement in defending innocent Kurdish civilians. Yeah… The Code Pink hacks are so opposed to violence, war, and death that they are upset with Obama for dropping some bombs on Islamic fighters who are dedicated to genocide and slaughter. It makes perfect sense, right?

Of course, our Avoider in Chief isn’t exactly helping things. If his obsessive focus on golfing gives you the feeling that he’s not engaged, it’s probably a safe assumption that our enemies get the same general impression. The disinterested President of Martha’s Vineyard America was so ambivalent toward the killing, ethnic cleansing, and chaos in the Middle East that he initially couldn’t even be bothered with pledging armed support for pro-American Kurdish forces.

I mean, heck, do we have an aversion to easy decisions? Conservatives rightly lampooned the President when he insinuated that killing Osama Bin Laden was a “tough” decision; but the decision to give aid to the surrounded Kurdish civilians should have been a no-brainer. Why wouldn’t we do everything we can to help a bunch of pro-American, oil-rich, democratic Iraqis? You would think that a Nobel Peace Prize winner would be mildly more interested in stemming the wanton barbarism of ISIL, especially when it threatens loyal champions of democracy and freedom.

But… If it’s an apparently easy decision, it pretty much goes without saying that our current administration will mess it up. Heck, even when the right call is made, their execution manages to reach depths of incompetence generally reserved for preschool baseball games. After the administration finally stumbled into helping the Kurds, airdrops of food, water, and other provisions were ordered to the area. They have, however, had little effect thus far because “it was dropped from 15,000ft without parachutes and exploded on impact.

Really? No parachutes? Well, no wonder our illustrious “leader” underestimated the ISIL threat in Iraq. With this group of military geniuses (who apparently were never taught the basics of Newton’s law of universal gravitation), I’m halfway surprised things aren’t worse. Was Joe Biden in charge of these airdrops?

Terrorists are doing their best to perpetrate a holocaust in the Middle East; MSNBC hacks (and intellectually bankrupt Code Pink agitators) are running cover for the incompetent, and disinterested, Golfer in Chief; the UN is drafting another ignorable resolution; and American liberals are busy trying to spread the blame around (they are redistributionists)… Roosevelt once explained that we should “speak softly, and carry a big stick.” Unfortunately, most of the Western World has adopted only the first half of this proverb. So, really, is it any surprise that a bunch of radical butchers think they can get away with a little world domination?

Also, someone should probably explain to Obama that golf clubs don’t count as sticks.

Has the no parachutes thing been confirmed? Even the dumbest airman would know better than that...

Hamas is attacking. Israel is defending. Russia is invading. The Middle East is smoldering. Boko Haram is massacring. ISIS is marching. Iran and N Korea are threatening. Women all over the world have lost 100 years of rights while the Mullahs stone them for being raped. American cities are crumbling. Our southern border is dissolving. Our debt is skyrocketing. Americans are hurting. Our enemies are laughing. Obama is fundraising. His wife says: “No cupcakes at school !”

Don’t be too critical ....

Please take it easy on Obama, it is his first job!

Did I say they were in charge? A N Y W A Y... Subtract the female vote and 0bama would not have been elected in 2008 OR 2012. ‘Nuff said.

How bad does a group need to be to be labeled "terrorists" by the oh, so fair, so egalitarian, morally equivalent leftists?

I tend to believe the Magic Thinking of leftists is more to blame than their cowardice. Magic Thinking causes democrips and republicants to believe that if we give the Islamic vermin more money they will turn kind toward US and not try to kill Americans ... and that reasoning would be okay, if the murdering servants of Satan would kill ONLY the progressives and leftists.

It’s not a question of “cowardice”, it’s that lefties sympathize with America’s enemies.

This is the face of American superiority. /s How would you like to be an ISIS fighter and look at this big intimidating hulk of American strength and determination? She thinks Christians dying on a mountain top is a big effing JOKE.

Don't you realize that females placed in these critical positions, along with drunkards for defense spokesman, Muslim converts as CIA heads, VP's making STUPID remarks, Kerry on girl's bike.. All of this is INTENTIONAL and meant to demean, WEAKEN, mock and embarrass America and destroy her superpower status?

Sorry, but cowardice by left didn't give it. Their hate of Christianity, total lack of historical knowledge (what historically happens to useful idiots, etc.), lack of analytical powers above what has been programmed into them are some of the things.

They have been taught about the Catholic Inquisition, but lack all knowledge of the spread of Islam and jihad a thousand years ago.

Can you believe those two naive twits who speak for the State Dept.? Of course, being a campaign worker for O fully qualified them in foreign affairs---they are at least as qualified as our golfer in chief.

Annihilating the terrorist army is in the USA's interest, helping the raghead "Government" in Iraq should not even factor into the equation.

The fact that ISIS exists at all is only possible because they have a crypto-muslim ally in the WH.

Now that Hussein Obama and his fellow travelers have forced out Maliki, where is the SOF agreement?

The answer is not even on the table, because Obama is allied with the MB, and is just warning them to lay off the Kurds and stop publicizing the beheadings, because they are harshing his golf game.

Such an army would never have been able to have been formed with a real American as President.

The difficult part of dealing with terrorists is they usually hide in the shadows and amongst the civilians. These bastards have formed an army and are operating in plain sight in heavy numbers.

You can't hold territory without ground troops, but you sure can blow up stuff from the air.

These guys should be reduced to walking or driving around in civilian vehicles,not parading around in brand new Toyotas.

Yeah, but like Joe Biden told him during the debates in 2007/8 that the presidency is not a on the job training. He should have listened to him

The KGB planted the seeds over many years that sprouted into the Islamic state that grew in stages, beginning with Carter, then Clintons, and to full bloom with Obamullah.

I spend a good number of my posts here on FR trying to convince conservatives that leftists are weaklings and cowards.

It’s amazing the number of cowards here who insist that we have no chance to take back America, and we need to get on our knees and live as slaves.

F’em.
