WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH US THAT WE WILL NOT RESPOND/REACT TO A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER ???
There is justifiably a strong sentiment against public schools here on Free Republic. Similarly, there's a healthy skepticism when it comes to those in law enforcement. Unfortunately, even here on FR, there's a mild undercurrent of anti-Southern and anti-Texas bias. I think all of those factors were at play as the story first unfolded in Irving, Texas. The Irving ISD was branded as "idiots", the cops told to wear bicycle helmets and in general the school, the city (and even Texas) were characterized as "retards" and "morons" by some here.
Now that the unvarnished facts are being exposed by Conservative Patriots such as Pam Geller and Rush Limbaugh, those who early on were hastily defending Ahmed Mohamed (called a "bright kid" in that thread) are in the same boat as those who believed the scurrilous liberal lie of "Hands Up, Don't Shoot". Yes, Mark Zuckerberg -- that's you!
knarf: You are spot on! The Republic does indeed face an existential threat from the enemy within. That enemy can be identified. They're seen flowing into the mosques springing up everywhere, a blight on this Great Land. A no-nonsense, zero-tolerance, proactive response is urgently needed. Like you, knarf, massive deportation ought to be on the table. In fact, in my view, muzzies should not even be American citizens! The soldiers of the Confederacy, our forebears in many cases, were seen as the enemy during the WBTS. How in the name of all that's sacred, are members of a satanic death cult whose clearly stated, sole aim is to murder we "infidels" any less of an enemy than those good men who donned the grey uniform in 1861?
And for those that think knarf and I are "extremists" on the issue, just take a look at the sheer size and scope of the imposing Islamic Center of Irving, not far from MacArthur High School where the "bright kid" brought his "clock" into English class. They're already here and in massive numbers...and growing day-by-day!
