No More Orlandos
American Thinker ^ | June 19, 2016 | Michael Curtis

The next President of the United States must consider acting on the basis of what activists in Northern Ireland used to call “the politics of the last atrocity.” The CIA Director John Brennan on June 16, 2016 provided official confirmation that despite the military and financial activity directed against terrorists in recent years, the efforts of the United States have not reduced the capability and global reach of ISIS. Brennan warned the country of the dangerous terror threat posed by ISIS and the large cadre of Western fighters on which it can draw.

Brennan did not use the words “Radical Islamic Terrorism,” words permanently absent from the White House vocabulary. He did not need to do so. As a result of the massacres in Orlando, Florida and in Paris, the U.S. and European countries realize from bitter experience of the existence of that global reach and that ISIS and those influenced by it, and al-Qaeda and others are preparing more attacks on the West.

These attacks may result from homegrown jihadists or from those infiltrating as supposed refugees and migrants into western societies. The massacre in Orlando is the latest example that the terrorist organizations, ISIS and others, have scored a sensational success in training and deploying operatives to carry out attacks. Though not all evidence is in, Omar Mateen, the callous murderer of 49 people, apparently had no direct links to ISIS but claimed allegiance to it and to its leader

Five of the wealthiest Muslim countries refuse to take in Syrian refugees arguing that it would open them up to terrorism. Their leaders are much more intelligent than the bozos that run our country.

The founders tried to prevent him from being President.
Children of foreign nationals are NOT natural born citizens.
In 6 years Omar Mateen would have been just as eligible to be President as Obama, Rubio, Jindal, Haley and Cruz.
Maybe more so than Cruz as he was born here.

True enough. It's not new, either.
People used arson in older days to kill. Hatfields and the McCoys are examples of extended family feuds. Within families: Cain and Abel.

Satan hard at work.

Really? The FBI had three at bats with the killer and blew them all. Even going so far as to label his co-workers as anti-Muslim.

The news media is brain dead when it comes to Chicago death rate but when it comes to the Orlando event it’s like it’s the first time they have seen of such a thing must be because it was a gay issue.

Hmmm. Well, if we could just outlaw AR’s that would put and end to “domestic” terroristic(?) attacks wouldn’t it? At least according to the lyin’ king and 12 gage joe biden.

But srsly. 300+ millions population. 300+ million firearms. 32,000(?) gun deaths. More than half suicides. Boil down the numbers and we’re lookin’ statistically at something like what, 0.0001% chance you’ll die from a gunshot. Kinda like the ridiculous insurance actuarial tables. You’re punished even though your healthy as a horse because of folks that are unhealthy, you still gotta pay the price. Then again, I don’t recall health insurance being in the bill of rights.

Feed the terrorist (or whatever remains may be scraped up) to feral hogs.

Get a ruling from imams from each Muslin sect as to the possibility of the "post-processed (via hog intestinal tract) remains" of the terrorist ever entering his "paradise".

No paradise, no 72 dark eyed virgins = very few willing terrorists.

Yet people who were pointing out the obvious 8 years ago were ridiculed and the press could not be bothered to interrupt their quest to elect the first "black" president to check out facts.

“Five of the wealthiest Muslim countries refuse to take in Syrian refugees arguing that it would open them up to terrorism.”

That right there says all we need to know about bringing all these ‘refugees’ into the United States.

I know we have plenty of congress critters that are absolute idiots (an island may tip over?), but many of them didn’t get into office because they’re stupid. Unless they want to publicly admit they’re just too stoopid to know the repercussions of importing un-vetted muslims from war torn counties, then one must conclude that they are fully aware of the consequences of their actions and WANT to bring in savages who will go full jihad against us.

Should go to the link & read the comments there.

Someone calling himself “Tyson McLane” is busy dissing from the left. Says no ISIS connection, you’re all hate filled crackers, Trump will be defeated, progressivism will triumph, etc.

Face of the enemy.

The rational approach to this maximizes our defenses.

We have a gigantic Intelligence (17 Agencies) and Federal Police (100+ Agencies) and Military apparatus. They are best used in two ways: electronic and human intelligence, to listen to terrorist chatter prior to attacks; and to locate bombers before they can bomb. (They can also be used to screen out threats attempting to enter the US.)

But on the ground, an armed populace is by far the best defense against mass shooting attacks. Police are few and far between, and not likely to be close enough to intervene. The armed public, on the other hand, is ubiquitous, they are everywhere, and they are able to act to stop a terror attack in progress.

Bombers being the exception. Bombing is the most effective means of terrorist attack, because the bomber has all the advantages, and doesn’t even need to be near where the bombing is to take place.

It should be noted that the light has finally dawned on the homosexual community that they are big targets for Muslim attack, and they are smart enough to arm themselves at a national level. The next Muslim who tries to slaughter them will find himself descending to Hell sooner than he anticipated.

HA! That's because there was more military and financial activity directed FOR terrorists.
