What’s Not to Love? Far Left Groups Outraged at Pompeo’s Promotion – Proving He’s the Right Man

FULL TITLE: What’s Not to Love? Far Left Groups Outraged at Pompeo’s Promotion – Proving He’s the Right Man for the Job

The far left Right Wing Watch is not happy that Mike Pompeo will be the next Secretary of State. RWW says he’s too hard on Islamists and too much of a Christian.

he American left believes Christians are a threat to societ while denying.

Pompeo, who would become the country’s top diplomat, has repeatedly framed the fight against terrorism as a war between Christianity and Islam, as The Intercept reported in detail when he was nominated to head the CIA:

“This threat to America,” Pompeo told a church group in Wichita in 2014, is from a minority of Muslims “who deeply believe that Islam is the way and the light and the only answer.”

“They abhor Christians,” Pompeo said, “and will continue to press against us until we make sure that we pray and stand and fight and make sure that we know that Jesus Christ is our savior is truly the only solution for our world.”

In 2013, after the Boston Marathon bombing, Pompeo declared on the House floor that Islamic community leaders who do not repeatedly and publicly speak out against terrorist acts are “potentially complicit” in those acts.

Tillerson was a CEO, and as such very risk averse. He would be great at going with the flow, and steering the ship gently with the flow. He would not be one I’d expect to stand up to the flow and cause disruption. And he didnt.

That’s too bad. It’s amazing how many seemingly normal, good people get brainwashed/indoctrinated into the dark side. Thanks.

My wife works for the State. Same thing there. She is very conservative but needs to keep that to herself.

Judging from the reaction this is looking like very good news.
Rex:
Believes in man made global warming
Was OK with the Iran deal
Didn’t want to move the embassy
Glad he’s gone

><

Good points.

I might have missed it, but I can’t think of one objection ever from the left that Tillerson was a right wing tool of “big oil”. They must have liked him.

I like Pompeo. Probably for reasons that liberals hate him. But beware of presuming that just because the Left hates someone means he must be good.

That sort of logic gravely hurt us under George W Bush. Turns out we got gravely incompetent leftists, not bold conservatives.

This is a three-fer, got rid of T-Rex, promoted my man Mike {huge, monster balls} Pompeo, in Greek, means, "the person in charge" in Italian, means five, kinda like frankie pentangeli, or frankie five angels...and selected a woman blackops spook to run the CIA.

That will make the demonRATs, urinate in their breakfast tofu.

“They abhor Christians,” Pompeo said, “and will continue to press against us until we make sure that we pray and stand and fight and make sure that we know that Jesus Christ is our savior is truly the only solution for our world.”

As long as we don't drift into a version of Islam, I'm good with that if, and only if...

We also uncompromisingly instantly and relentlessly destroy anti-radical killer islam everywhere it raises its ugly head with all weapons at our disposal, no hesitation, no exceptions, no compromise no discussion!

Isn't 1400 years of tolerating these two-legged animal barbarian killers long enough?

Your wife is to be commended for dealing with that situation.

Trump is a project oriented, not process oriented. Each appointee is for a specific project. Government is not usually run this way. I expect lots of turnover as each goal us accomplished.


Really fine analysis.  Makes sense.

Perhaps Tillerson was hired to oversee the thinning down of State Department ranks.  And its sounds like he sent a lot of pink slips out.

In any case, the Rex is Dead, Long Live the New Rex.  Thanks for your service to our country...  Adios.

He does bring in talent for specific phases of implementation, and the departure of a given employee is rarely treated as anything but exactly that, wishing them well, speaking well of their talents and contributions. Is Tillerson being spoken ill of by anyone in the administration, or is it all a media concoction? Even conservative sites will fan the flames for clicks, they’re just about as bad as the MSM in that regard.

Maybe Pompeo will be able to finally drain the swamp at State. Lots of nobama holdovers and, as you said, hard core Clinton supporters. All must go. And quickly.
