We’ll accept your apology now, Mr. President.

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog

One paragraph in this post-San Bernardino attack CNN report says it all, Save Jerseyans, dropped one day after Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik murdered 14 people and injured many others:

It appears that Farook was radicalized, which contributed to his motive, though other things — like workplace grievances — may have also played a role, other law enforcement sources said.”

Contributed? Played a role? Really??

I wonder if CNN have been as cautious in its phrasing had the suspected perpetrator been a gun-toting, NASCAR-obsessed, Jesus-worshiping NRA member?

Of course not. They’ve made up their minds already so, when evil strikes, they regurgitate pre-formed opinions. Some members of the media, including this mouth-breather over the Daily Kos, even decided to profile the killers before we even knew who they were….

And he wasn’t alone:

daily news gun control

Oops….

These are the times we live in. Adherents to the radical religious sect of “political correctness” value their preconceived notions more than facts, truth, and the security of our republic.

It all starts with a glaring lack of leadership. At least France’s president talked about military action after Paris. Once again, on this side of the Atlantic, our media’s wayward creation President Barack Obama took to the airwaves to blame guns with a suspected gunman still lose and bodies still at the attack scene. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before he blames “workplace violence” or even global warming, too, like his pal Bernie.

“We have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country,” opined Obama, who has established a pattern of his own: passing judgment without knowing all of the facts first.

One of those under-discussed facts? ISIS, which produces and inspires home-grown radical killers like Farook and the Paris terrorists, was deliberately allowed to metastasize by the Obama Administration in order to protect its 2012 campaign narrative. That’s confirmed by Obama’s former intel chief, not Matt Rooney or Rush Limbaugh. Now even The New York Times is running editorials demanding that Obama do what he should’ve done years ago… protect the homeland. Yet all we hear is silence or goofy accusations aimed at his political opponents.

More facts?

Obama leering at the audienceFarook had recently traveled to Saudi Arabia and “A man who has been working in the area said he noticed a half-dozen Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people.” On a climate change fact-finding mission, no doubt! So I’m sorry to upset your apple cart, CNN, but it doesn’t sound like violent video games, violate safe spaces, or weak gun controls (which California most certainly doesn’t have) have anything to do with this one.

“But Matt! Even if you’re right about Obama’s role in allowing a terror threat to grow in our backyards, as well as the Left living in denial over the whole thing, wouldn’t gun control still help?”

Take the guns but keep the radicals? 

Grow up. We’re dealing with smart, sophisticated, evil people. Bad people aren’t bound by legal mores and social conventions. 1,196 Americans were killed with blunt objects in 2012, or roughly 3-times the death toll from 2015 mass shootings including Wednesday’s attack. In China last fall, were gun control (and everything control) is omnipresent, separatists killed 29 and injured 130 at a train station. Don’t indict the Second Amendment with bad info (like New Jersey’s Loretta Weinberg is fond of doing) or demonstrate your ignorance by proposing laws that are already on the books (a Cory Booker favorite).

 

To review: Barack Obama lied about ISIS, and ignored it, to get reelected. Now they’re here, in America, killing us BUT he’s blaming… the people who didn’t vote for him?

Our President should apologize but he won’t. Again, he’s more concerned with defeating imperialists and conservatives than stopping terrorists. His appointments say as much as his own actions and omissions. “There’s something different about what happened from Charlie Hebdo, and I think everybody would feel that,” Obama’s Secretary of State John Kerry recently remarked while reflecting on terrorism in France. “There was a sort of particularized focus and perhaps even a legitimacy in terms of – not a legitimacy, but a rationale that you could attach yourself to somehow and say, okay, they’re really angry because of this and that.”

Nuts!

Their non-elected ideological kin in the media are just as loony or straight-up in denial. See above. We’re at war and they’re fretting over non-existent loopholes and imagined microaggressions.

The lead terrorist’s name, one more time: “Syed Farook.” Not the NRA, global warming, a video game, YouTube short or Roman Catholic nun.

Evil will always find a way. Good better be ready.

It’s time for Republicans to grow a pair, stop tweeting about prayer and start aggressively pushing back, with ideas to empower our populace including nationwide concealed carry reciprocity, before the Left’s lunacy kills us all.

  1. A strong man or woman has the dignity and honor to apologize; in his case, he doesn’t mind being, or being perceived as week as long as he remains true to his core beliefs which are totally inconsistent with the foundations of this country. Do not, therefore expect him to apologize for the worst presidency in history. Sadly, expect him to wreak more hell in his last year.

  2. Yesterdays attack was not work place violence—– CALL IT WHAT IT IS — ITS Terrorism, its not that GUNS kill these people by themselves—– I’m sick of all those who say destroy all guns, that’s how Hitler took over Germany, Good Mentally competent people ,with background checks don’t go out and do mass killings–You don’t wake up one day and decide to make pipe bombs-You need training , you don’t point a Gun out of a car or walk into a room and shoot dozens of people without training, you don’t rent a car and stockpile it with bombs to go on a vacation— this was their religious Political statement, these killers were ready to kill more— This is like an episode of 24– This was a sleeper cell—-Their house was a bomb making factory–neighbors saw irrational behavior yet were afraid to say anything because of a fear of being branded bigots and racist—
    Yet Obama and Democrats blame GUNS —-Obama hands are all over this Political correctness, its sick– This killer went to the mid east and came back with more than a bride… she was allowed in the USA so easily, hell my grandparents and family all had to submit paperwork and wait a long time to come here, and Yet today we allow anyone to move here or sneak over the border and then we give them benefits—-Our country is changing, maybe not completely in our life time but Our children will grow older in a changed America—–If we don’t fix these problems now, The USA will be Europe in 20 years- Is anyone else really upset by this? or Have we become so narcissistic – so self centered that we dismiss serious issues and just blame politicians without doing anything ourselves—

  3. What I found interesting about the press conference was the contrast with other mass shooting press conferences. Here, the shooter was a radicalized Islamic extremist instead of simply some deranged madman. The president’s tone and deliver was almost muted. His rhetoric was tempered with hedged words. But where a shooter isn’t linked to Islamic extremist terrorist ties, but simply a domestic madman, the tone and rhetoric the president uses is inflammatory. The dynamics of these contrasting reactions should concern us all because it demonstrates, with crystal clarity, what are his priorities.

  4. When are u GOING( u Americans) ask for the.Muslim in charge( Barry) porch monkeys impeachment?? Noooo u are all dummy SLEEPY sheep. Die on dummy sheep.

  5. And your point is? Unless, of course, you really, truly, honestly are unable to conclude with moral certainty that we were struck a blow by Mohammedan terrorists – in which case you need to kept locked away in the attic.
