Obama to deliver rare Oval Office address Sunday on terrorism

The reason an Oval Office address is rare is because OFail is never in the Oval Office. It would be to much like well, work.

The only thing the thin skinned muslim crybaby is going to say is that he paints all Christian conservatives as bad people but think those same people should not label islam as violent because millions of muslims commit acts of violence in the name of islam.

We should place bets on which phrase he’ll say first and how often.

No religion condones killing.

Random attacks

a few bad apples (or something along those lines)

Wonder which direction mecca is in from the OO?

I’m not a football fan, but Sunday might be a good time to start

POSSIBLE ANNOUNCEMENT:

If a democratic society is to continue to exist, it must be able to root out the cancer of an armed, revolutionary movement that is bent on destroying the very basis of our freedom. For that reason the government, following an analysis of the facts, decided to proclaim the War Measures Act.

It did so at 4:00 a.m. this morning, in order to permit the full weight of government to be brought quickly to bear on all those persons advocating or practising violence as a means of achieving political ends.

The War Measures Act gives sweeping powers to the government. It also suspends the operation of the Bill of Rights. I can assure you that the government is most reluctant to seek such powers, and did so only when it became crystal clear that the situation could not be controlled unless some extraordinary assistance was made available on an urgent basis.

The authority contained in the act will permit governments to deal effectively with the nebulous yet dangerous challenge to society represented by terrorist organizations. The criminal law as it stands is simply not adequate to deal with systematic terrorism.

The police have therefore been given certain extraordinary powers necessary for the effective detection and elimination of conspiratorial organizations which advocate the use of violence. These organizations, and membership in them, have been declared illegal.

The powers include the right to search and arrest without warrant, to detain suspected persons without the necessity of laying specific charges immediately, and to detain persons without bail .

These are strong powers and I find them as distasteful as I am sure you do. They are necessary, however, to permit the police to deal with persons who advocate or promote the violent overthrow of our democratic system.

In short, I assure you that the government recognizes its grave responsibilities in interfering in certain cases with civil liberties, and that it remains answerable to the people for its actions.

The government will revoke this proclamation as soon as possible.

As I said, the government will allow sufficient time to pass to give it the necessary experience to assess the type of statute which may be required in the present circumstances.

It is my firm intention to discuss then with the leaders of the opposition party the desirability of introducing legislation of a less comprehensive nature. In this respect I earnestly solicited from the leaders and from all honourable members constructive suggestions for the amendment of the regulations.

Such suggestions will be given careful consideration for possible inclusion in any new statute.

I recognize, as I hope do others that this extreme position which governments have been forced into is in some respects a trap. It is a well-known technique of revolutionary groups who attempt to destroy society by unjustified violence, to goad the authorities into inflexible attitudes. The revolutionaries then employ this evidence of alleged authoritarianism as justification for the need to use violence in their renewed attacks on the social structure.

I appeal to all citizens not to become so obsessed by what the government has done today in response to terrorism that they forget the opening play in this vicious game. That play was taken by the revolutionaries; they chose to use bombing and murder.

The threat posed by these terrorists and their supporters is out of all proportion to their numbers. This follows from the fact that they act stealthily and because they are known to have in their possession a considerable amount of dynamite.

To guard against the very real possibility of bombings directed at public buildings or utilities in the immediate future the government has requested the assistance of the Armed Forces to support the police in several places. These forces took up their positions yesterday.

We must not overlook the fact, moreover that violence is often a symptom of deep social unrest. This government has pledged that it will introduce legislation which deals not only with symptoms but with the social causes which often underlie or serve as an excuse for crime and disorder.

It was in that context that I stated a year ago that there was no need anywhere for misguided or misinformed zealots to resort to acts of violence in the belief that only in this fashion could they accomplish change. There may be some places in the world where the law is so inflexible and so insensitive as to prompt such beliefs.

But here is not such a place. I said then, and I repeat now, that those who would defy the law and ignore the opportunities available to them to right their wrongs and satisfy their claims will receive no hearing from this government

We shall ensure that the laws passed are worthy of respect. We shall also ensure that those laws are respected.

We have seen in many parts of this country all too much evidence of violence in the name of revolution in the past 12 months. We are now able to see some of the consequences of violence.

Persons who invoke violence are raising deliberately the level of hate. They do so at a time when the country must eliminate hate, and must exhibit tolerance and compassion in order to create the kind of society which we all desire.

Yet those who disrespect legal processes create a danger that law-abiding elements of the community, out of anger and out of fear, will harden their attitudes and refuse to accommodate any change or remedy any shortcomings. They refuse because fear deprives persons of their normal sense of compassion and their normal sense of justice.

This government is not acting out of fear. It is acting to prevent fear from spreading. It is acting to maintain the rule of law without which freedom is impossible.

It is acting to make clear to kidnappers, terrorists, revolutionaries and assassins that in this country laws are made and changed by the elected representatives -not by a handful of self-selected dictators. Those who gain power through terror rule through terror. The government is acting, therefore, to protect your life and your liberty.

This country remains one of the most wholesome and humane lands on this earth. If we stand firm, this current situation will soon pass. We will be able to say proudly, as we have for decades, that within this country there is ample room for opposition and dissent, but none for intimidation and terror.

There are very few times in the history of any country when all persons must take a stand on critical issues. This is one of those times; this is one of those issues.

I am confident that those persons who unleashed this tragic sequence of events with the aim of destroying our society and dividing our country will find that the opposite will occur. The result of their acts will be a stronger society in a unified country. Those who would have divided us will have united us.

I sense the unease which grips many citizens today. Some of you are upset, and this is understandable. I want to reassure you that the authorities have the situation well in hand.

Everything that needs to be done is being done; every level of government in this country is well prepared to act in your interests.

Oh dern! Have to melt more lead & use the bullet mold, then
dip them in lard if I have time before Hussein unloads the
first bunch of Jihadists.

Just turn off the TV.

Since I don’t have one I couldn’t watch this if I wanted to.

Here is a great suggestion for everyone, while he makes his anti-American tirade, everyone should go clean at least one of their firearms ... or order a 1,000 rounds of your favorite caliber and any other accessories you may need.

When done he will be gone and you can resume your normal Sunday routine.

Will announce new task force to arrest those insulting the prophet, and disarm those speaking ill of Islam.

Get comfortable with your weapon. Learn all the safety
precautions. Do target practice someplace you’re
comfortable. - When my great-great grandfather was
probably your age; he had a family by that time & he
was a lightkeeper on the TN River. He had to carry.
There were some rough people on that river who would have
just as soon rob you and shoot you as to look at you.
