Political knives out after California attack

WASHINGTON (AFP) -

With dust from the California massacre barely settled, the killings are sharpening the US political divide over gun control and spurring attacks on President Barack Obama's counter-terrorism strategy.

As Obama prepared to address the nation on his plans to keep Americans safe and defeat IS, Republican foes lined up on the Sunday talk shows to attack his leadership.

In the wake of Wednesday's attacks by a young Muslim couple believed to have embraced radical ideology, Republican presidential contenders slammed the president for pushing stricter gun laws while failing to tackle the threat from Islamic extremism head-on.

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said Obama's refusal to designate "radical Islam" as the enemy was a roadblock.

"We are having a tremendous problem with radical Islamic terrorism," Trump said on CBS's "Face the Nation" program which aired Sunday. "And we have a president that won't issue the term. He won't talk about it."

"Until he admits that this is a problem, we're never gonna solve the problem."

Trump's inflammatory rhetoric getting attention in France.

Of course, they just had a wake-up call today in their national election.

Trump is using anti Muslim hate rhetoric.

Guess that means the Attorney General will have to arrest him.

Asked about Obama's avoidance of the term "radical Islam," Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton cast her support strongly behind the president. "The problem is, that sounds like we're declaring a war against religion. That's number one, wrong" she told ABC's "This Week."

Ooh, watch the casuistic flip floppery here.

NOW she is against "wars against religion" -- oh the Christian set is laughing out loud. She's viewed Christianity as a religion based on evil for a long time -- perfect its implementation is not, but neither is it fundamentally wicked. Now that a religion based on evil really DOES appear, she changes her tune. Now religion is just fine.

President is a post. What we put, or allow, into that post is our own fault.

There is no anti terrorism strategy, except to label it workplace violence.

The Dem crowd WANTS terrorism. It thinks only that will dish out to the bourgeoisie set what it deserves.

Oh how do we dare do anything so crass as to celebrate Christmas.

In Paris, they had no guns. In California they had no guns. Only the bad guys had the guns, he said.

In TEXAS, we got guns. I have recently (since San Bernadino) been carrying mine on my hip (IWB) everywhere while before I just carried it around in my truck. In about three weeks, (01/01/2016) there is no more requirement for CHL licensees to conceal their handguns.

People are standing in line, daring her to arrest them. Hey Lynch, most or all muslims are total pieces of dog-crap, and killers, and should be strung up or crucified.
