America Is Not the Bad Guy in This Fight
It is apparent that we need to review what terrorism is. The definition
is simple: terrorism is carried out by a bunch of sickos who have
hijacked the religion of Islam to force their extremist agenda on
everybody on this earth through violence and mass murder. They operate
on no other motive except that we aren’t Islamofascists. It’s that
simple, and it’s black and white.
A
recently leaked National Intelligence Estimate appearing in the New
York Times (surprise!) stated that our actions in Iraq have emboldened
the Islamofascists, making us more vulnerable to attack. The report
also confirmed that hot air rises (OK, I made that up). As if
terrorists needed emboldening. They already killed 3,000 Americans in
New York using American airliners. Honestly, how much bolder can they
get?
Democrats, upon learning of the intelligence estimate
continued screaming like banshees, but this time it was not only that
Saddam wasn’t a threat and thus we should’ve ignored the purging of
Iraqi dissidents by the tens of thousands, but that moreover, our
actions in Iraq have made us more susceptible to attack. My question
is: What the [heck] did we do to motivate a bunch of Islamofascists to
turn planes into missiles? The assertion that our pursuit of terrorists
and their allies before they strike has somehow compromised national
security is the equivalent of, “Because we allow women to vote, because
women can go to college, and because Americans like to eat pork,
Islamofascists decided to kill scores of Americans.” Make sense now?
If
the Democrats are trying to dispel the myth that they represent the
“blame America first” crowd, they’re doing a shoddy job. Senate
Minority Leader Harry Reid, et al may chastise GOP senators for
characterizing his Democratic party as caring more about making sure we
don’t anger Islamofascists or deny them their “constitutional rights”
then they do about keeping them from harming America. Usually, such an
attack is false, but in this case, Democrats prove the Republicans’
point through their rhetoric.
The assertion that our offensive
against terrorism is making Islamofascists angry isn’t new. They are
flabbergasted that we have prevented them from killing innocent
Americans since September 11. Infidels we may be, but we’re using tools
such as warrantless surveillance and the Patriot Act to stop them in
their tracks. Of course, these tools will probably be taken away by
Speaker Nancy Pelosi if Democrats win in November.
While the
Democrats think that telling people that Iraq has jeopardized national
security, too much has happened that makes their argument irrelevant.
If fighting terrorism makes us more vulnerable to attack, Pope Benedict
has jeopardized the entire Catholic Church with his recent remarks
about how Islam is, well, violent. To prove the Pope right,
Islamofascists in short order gunned down a nun in Mogadishu. Having
already pledged to investigate the lead-up to the Iraq war and
September 11 should they win in November, perhaps Democrats should open
an investigation into the publication of Danish cartoons depicting
parodies of Mohammed in college newspapers across the nation last
spring. The publication of the controversial cartoons in the Daily
Tarheel at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill motivated an
Islamofascist to drive a jeep into a crowd of students after the DTH
refused to honor demands from the Muslim Student Association to issue
an apology; he is now being held in the Orange County jail on charges
of terrorism and attempted murder. Of course, Democrats would have you
believe that the editor of the DTH is responsible for the terrorism
perpetrated by the suspect -- he fueled the fire.
I am sick and
[darn] tired of being told that the principles of America, such as free
speech by the Pope and the press, coupled equal rights and liberty for
all is offensive to Muslims. We are the victims, not Muslims. For
Muslims to go around killing nuns and then make the entire world walk
on eggshells so we don’t “offend” them is beyond comprehension. Our
Catholic faith is ridiculed daily by people around the world, and yet
we don’t going around killing people who work for Planned Parenthood. I
have had it with Americans on the left who seem to capitulate to the
demands of Muslims by decrying America as the bad guy in this War on
Terror. I am sick of seeing signs throughout the nation depicting
President Bush as a turban-bedecked terrorist. It is time to say enough
is enough; this “we fuel the fire” hogwash goes no further. America’s
message is quite plain: don’t mess with the bull, ‘cause you’ll get the
horns.
