More Obama Ignorance Shown
Once again, reality has intruded on President Obama’s divisive, his anti-science talking points. Just hours after the president used the term “widows and orphans” to taunt the GOP over their opposition to flooding America with Syrian refugees ISIS has promised to seed with terrorists, a female suicide bomber in Paris blew herself up as police closed in.
“Apparently they are scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America,” Obama said of the GOP. “At first, they were too scared of the press being too tough on them in the debates. Now they are scared of three year old orphans. That doesn’t seem so tough to me.”
A female terrorist wearing a suicide vest has blown herself up and another jihadi was killed by a grenade during a six-hour siege on a flat where police believe the Paris massacres mastermind and six other ISIS terrorists were hiding.
So how safe are the women of Radical Islam does Obie really know ?
The UNHCR first, who recommends members to the U.S. government, who then vets it using nine different agencies. If they are Syrian and pass through those agencies, they are then vetted by the State Department, FBI, the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, amongst other law enforcement agencies.
Yes of course, surely the most complex, intricate vetting process ever employed by the United States which spans over a dozen agencies as well as an extra-governmental organization is accessible.
Open Borders are a problem for which you refuse to see but you can and will blame it on French Nationals or whom ever else you may choose. Fact is you refuse to see any fact !
Except if you are talking about refugees and migration, nationality has everything to do with it.
If you are saying that opening borders to the Middle East caused this, even though the people involved were all European nationals who were there well before the refugee crisis, then it undermines your claims (which of course it does).

As far as my take on the Islamic radicals and ISIL. Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so if ya click on this link you'll see how I think we should deal with them..................
Ya see, "genocidal" refers to somebody being of the mind to obliterate and entire RACE of people. An ethnicity. Solely because of their "gen"-etics. This is the etymology of the word.
But ISIL, as well as other murderous Islamic terrorist groups are bound not by genetics, but by socio-political and RELIGIOUS ideology.
So they wouldn't really meet the qualifications fo being victims of genocide.
But raster of good old-fashioned anti-terrorism.
With extreme prejudice.
LOL
BTW: I continually find it amusing that guys like you and their knee-jerk liberal views actually feel it necessary to defend a group of people who would kill you rather than look at you. And who would respect you not a whit for your defense of them.
Essentially, you are wrong on the definition of the word, and it does apply to what you want.
It would be one thing if you just wanted to destroy Islamic terrorist groups, but the reference to nuclear weaponry implies wide-spread destruction of the entire population in that general area.

This will be a fun exercise: Quote me ever defending IS, Al-Qaeda, or any terrorist group. Or for that matter any Islamic group.
THE OP does not say anything serious. He is an individual who has already admitted on many occasions that he is simply trying to piss people off. Therefore my response was given as much thought and legitimacy as what he was saying.
Additionally, the entire point of what is happening in Paris is for us to fear all Muslims, and that is working as evidenced by many people (most vocally on the right) trying to stop immigration from the Middle East as well as possibly denying Muslims citizenship, not to mention calls for regulating freedom of speech within mosques.
IS wants us to fear Muslims so that we will ostracize them.
Some of the Muslim filth who committed the Paris atrocity were French nationals and were born in France. This dumb president seems to be unaware that children, including orphans, grow up. Anyone growing up in the Islamic religion is a potential terrorist due to the bellicose teachings of the paedophiile prophet Muhammad. Obama appears to see himself as the Messiah and is here on earth to rob taxpayers of the earnings so he can be seen with a shining halo around his head as he throws their money at life's losers.
Good post and a very revealing video. Everyone, even the dogs in the street know the shocking dangers posed by Muslims, but due to the thick skulls of the western politicians the crime which will herald the realization of the viciousness of this rogue religion by western governments has not yet happened. What it's going to take for the penny/dime to drop remains to be seen. But whatever the it's going to be it's going to have to be something enormously horrible for the numskulls to waken up. Even after 9/11, 7/7 and the 13/11 in Paris most politicians are still filling their countries with Muslims. This unbelievable act of madness leaves me both furious and baffled. As we saw in Paris, the terrorist groups which committed these outrages were made up of Islamic, so called, French nationals and those who infiltrated into France along with the 100s of 1000 who claim to be refugees.
The liberals in the US fail to see what's happening in Europe and stupidly defend Islam without looking under the hood to see whats running it. Islam, coupled with Sharia Law is diametrically opposed the values they claim they stand for: freedom of speech / expression; freedom of / from religion; lifestyle choice; the empowerment of women.. all would perish under Islamic rule. These people are such dunderheads!
It seems to me that most western politicians have been drugged into adopting a sort of death wish for themselves and their respective populations whose safety and welfare with which they were charged to uphold. One major point about the Paris outrage is that President Hollande of France was an ardent proponent of accepting Muslim immigrants/refugees and for the free movement across European borders. Once the immigrants had infested the Southern European States such as Greece and Italy, ( where, as the first countries of entry they were required by European law to remain) the law was relaxed and they were free, indeed encouraged to swarm north towards Germany, France and the United Kingdom. So, it was the left winger, Hollande who paved the way for the murderers to enter France and assist in the massacre of innocent men, woman and teenagers. I wonder how long it will take the average 'thinking Frenchman''/ woman to figure out Hollande's complicity in the atrocity and the fear the French are now experiencing.
"Liberals are incredibly slow to accept reality, so no telling how long with will be."
".The left will take any and all, regardless of who they are as long as they vote democrat."
"Your comment is a classic liberal tactic: demean the individual so as not to address the actual issue i.e. the question posed on this post."
"The left wing distorts reality via lies and deception, the right tries to expose it."
" Liberals love to create classes of victims"
" It's just a way to make people who are unhappy with their lot in life place blame elsewhere rather than on themselves. Liberals specialize in this. "
"Bernie is pandering to the mindless minions on the left; the hapless, the clueless and the blissfully unaware that populates the democratic party. "
"Obama is the most reality challenged president we've ever had- he epitomizes liberalism."
It seems that about one in every four of your comments includes a generalization of Liberals, or the Left in general.
You are welcome to use my insightful pearls of wisdom as talking point as long as you give credit to the source you derived these gems from. No, you don't have to thank me; it's my pleasure to help. :-)
If you don't understand the difference between defending the rights and well being of individuals, or defending their belief structure, then you don't know what "distinction" or "difference" means.
I find Mohammad to be a vile individual, and I find Islam (as well as all Judeo-Abrahamic religions) to be horrible, but, believe it or not, the overwhelming majority of Muslims are not bad people. So long as one does not participate in violence or try to force their religion upon others, I will defend them as individuals (not their beliefs), regardless of religion.
Where is the chorus of condemnation from the majority of "peaceful" Muslims condemning these heinous acts committed in the name of Islam??? I'm still waiting.
Muslims consider Mohammed the perfect man, a man who nails 9 year old girls and pioneered the concept of "thighing". What a guy! People who worship a guy like that are severely deficient in moral character.

Yeah, yeah and Christians worship a man who said if someone doesn't worship him then they will burn for eternity, blah blah blah. I already told you I find Mohammad vile, and I find Islam vile. That simply does not translate to the real opinions of most Muslims. Religious fundamentalism and the concept of taking everything literally or finding religious texts to be without fault is not a majority opinion.
You are an apologist for pedobear worshipers. Christianity has nothing to do with this; this a typical diversion tactic used by those who can't defend their position.
Where are the spontaneous protests against such heinous acts committed in the name of Islam. A handful of Muslim spokesmen does not a chorus of condemnation make. In Pakistan and other muslim nations, they protested against Charlie Hebdo for having the gall to depict Mohammed in a less than flattering way, not against the killers.
Close ups of a handful of people does not a chorus of condemnation make. Where's the spontaneous protests worldwide condemning such acts. The articles and the photos look like photo ops, all staged.
Ah, so first you want evidence that Muslims are speaking out. I gave that to you. Then you want evidence that Muslims are protesting. I give that to you. Then you want evidence of protest with some arbitrary number you have determined that are done with photography that meets your arbitrary standards.
It's quite pathetic, really. You have come to a conclusion that you refuse to admit might possibly be fallacious, and evidence that contradicts it gets automatically dismissed.
None of what you showed was organic; it was staged by a small groups. That's why the close up photos. The others, press releases by Imams, Muftis and Grand Poohbahs are nothing more than contrivances to fool people, people like you into thinking they really condemn such acts. Their religion teaches them to convert or kill the infidel; they won't go against their teachings.

Every single protest is staged by groups. That is the nature of protesting. What you want is something that doesn't exist.
The others, press releases by Imams, Muftis and Grand Poohbahs are nothing more than contrivances to fool people, people like you into thinking they really condemn such acts.
Ah yes, it doesn't matter that there is evidence that people disagree with it, you know the truth and you don't need no stinkin evidence of that!
Their religion teaches them to convert or kill the infidel; they won't go against their teachings.
Of course they will, every Judeo-Abrahamic religion's followers go against the radical s--t in their actual texts. Jews aren't running around stoning people for working on the Sabbath and Christians aren't going around stoning gays.
Do you really think the Grand Poohbah of Iran condemns such acts??? Not hardly; they fund such terrorism, just like Arafat did.
Pointing to one instance to try to invalidate dozens isn't a legitimate criticism.
These small "uprisings" protesting such acts are not organic and do a chorus of condemnation make.
Again, the "organic" protests you want do not exist. Protests are always initially started by a group of people who want to, you know, protest. Then others organically join in.
There's reality, then there's what you think!
It must be easy when you don't feel the need to substantiate your claims with evidence. It's not debating, but it's probably far easier.
Pointing to one such instance??? How about the "spontaneous" protest at the Benghazi Embassy that resulted in the death of our ambassador. How about that for organic. I'm sure you believed Obama, Clinton and Rice on that issue, didn't you? Of course you did.
And now you try to employ deflection as if it is a legitimate argument, and make a fool of yourself while doing so. I do not support either Obama or Clinton, and I found their response to Benghazi to be hilariously inept and stupid.
And do you really that Benghazi was "organic"? Do you really believe there weren't instigators who were trying to orchestrate that? The fact that you put "spontaneous" in quotes leads me to believe you don't, which means you should have no issue agreeing with my point about protests in general. Which means that not only did you deflect in a way that makes no sense, but you did so in a way that ultimately agrees with my previous point.
Now next time, cut the crap and respond to what I actually say, instead of making up some bulls--t profile of me based on ignorant assumptions and generalizations. I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Liberal, I didn't vote for Obama and I won't be voting for Hillary.
