Brilliant essay by Thomas Sowell about how disastrous “smart” people like Obamy can be:

http://townhall.com/columnists.....nch?page=2

The only thing he says I disagree with is that the Moron doesn’t seem very smart to me. He hasn’t accomplished anything in his life, other than being around when his handlers destroyed his electoral opponents, and away from the TOTUS, he’s just another fumbling bumbling lying politician. No better or worse than Van Jones, who nobody has annointed as a genius yet.

Seriously, I think the New York Times has been infiltered, or getting something under the table for this treasonous reporting.
1. Obama wants to go after Pakistan now.
2. Iran becoming more bold to spread islam threatening to destroy us
3. Indonesia extremists become more barbaric every day
3. Africa muslim extremists worse than ever.
4. Afganistan worse than in 2001, regressing since Obama took office.
5. Libya & Liberia becoming more extreme
6. UK’s streets are ran by Islam.
7. U.S. looking more like the UK
8. A muslim U.S. president that honors muslims, more than Christians or Jews.

It was an excellent, excellent choice to point out the NYT’s ignorance/revisionism on terrorism by including the July 01 article. Thank you.

Animals have an instinctive method for responding to threats called fight or flight. Liberals have chosen to psychoanalyze the threat, offer condolences and to run away against both nature and reason, convinced that the threat no longer exists. They refuse to confront the fact that some groups – particularly Islamic ones – are irrational and hellbent on causing harm to people of American descent and non-Muslims.

“And they almost certainly have the impression that extremist Islamic groups cause most terrorism.

None of these beliefs are based in fact.”

Fact: 1,424 Islamic terrorist attacks have been carried out since 9/11.

I feel a lot less safe in my own country under this administration than I did under Bush.

Just … wow.

On occasion I get to work with an expert on terrorism (in the transportation setting). I wonder why he says pretty much the opposite of what this Ph.D,-holding hack has to say. I guess this academic’s qualifications (time in the CIA and a shrink) trump the expertise of a former Green Beret who has been studying terrorism since … Vietnam (pretty much).

The U.S. needs to be vigilant because the threats are out there, same as they ever were,

Attacks on diplomatic buildings don’t send the message terrorists want to send. They are not shocking enough, and not enough damage is done nor are enough people hurt or killed. Even I know that …

“[T]errorism against American interests is rare. There were three attacks on American diplomatic buildings in 2000, compared with 42 in 1988.”

Hurricanes that strike the Carolinas are rare. In 2008, there were none, compared to 1989, when there were three.

—-Ipso facto, I should build my house in Myrtle Beach out of sticks. Because the odds tell me it’s safe.

Empty argument Doctor.

“Dr. Sageman said the United States should approach the threat…….. with a careful analysis of the motives and patterns of people drawn into violent plotting.”

FYI, that is done, as a matter of course. Apparently Dr Sageman thinks the defenders of freedom in the US are a bunch of bumbling dolts, not an astute intellectual, like him.
