Naiveté, Stupidity or Deception- It’s the Wrong Approach to Islamic Terrorism
“We stand with you to say that the good in this world far outweighs the evil, that our common humanity transcends our differences, and that our most effective response to terror and to hatred is compassion, it’s unity, and it’s love,”
– Loretta Lynch, Attorney General, 22 June 2017
Hmmmm.
Yes, it’s true. The nation’s top law enforcement officer says that the best way to respond to terrorism and hatred is with “compassion, unity and love.”
Yeah, right.
Imagine, just for a moment, if the following had been said…
- “Speak softly, and carry a big heart.” Not said by Theodore Roosevelt
- “Yesterday, Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a day that will live in love, The United States was suddenly and deliberately attacked by airplanes because the United States hasn’t shown compassion or unity towards the Japanese Empire.” Not said by Franklin Delano Roosevelt
- “Let every nation know, whether they love us or not, that we will offer any compassion, accept any attack, bear any hardship, love any friend, and embrace any foe, to assure that we will not be offensive to anyone, ever.” Not said by John F. Kennedy
- “Mr. Gorbachev, if love and peace is what you seek, then we want to show you unity and compassion by begging you to rethink your position on the Berlin wall.” Not said by Ronald Reagan
So if we are to believe Attorney General Lynch, the best way to respond to those who rape women, mutilate children, sever the heads of Christians and Jews, throw homosexuals off of the tops of buildings, and target unarmed, defenseless and innocent civilians is to shower them with compassion, unity and love.
Assuming that she really believes this, then she is either woefully naïve or as dumb as a box of rocks. In either case, she has no business being Attorney General of the United States.
Assuming, on the other hand, that she knows better, then she is part and parcel of the deception that the Obama administration is parlaying on the American people that Islamic Terrorists will cease and desist their atrocities, if we will only drop our Islamophobic bias, and show them compassion instead…and, in order to do this, we should all be willing to give up our rights to defend ourselves and submit our very lives to the wiles of those who hate us.
And, by the way, we are also supposed to believe her when she says that the FBI’s criminal investigation(s) of Hillary Clinton is something that she has not discussed with the president, and that it will be handled no differently than any other investigation.
Does anyone really believe this?
Not this writer…not ever.
