Intro

It's time for a reality check ...

Maybe we’ve reached the point of diminishing astonishment.

But I suspect that much of what we’re hammered with every day really doesn’t make much of an impact on most of us anymore. We’ve heard the same stories too often. We’ve been exposed to the same issues for so long without any meaningful resolution. We recognize that reality is rapidly becoming malleable, primarily in the hands of whoever has the biggest microphone. How else can we explain a society where myth asserts itself as reality, based entirely how many hits it gets online?

We know that many of the “issues” as defined are pure crapola, hyped by politicians on both sides pandering to “the will of the people,” which is still more crapola. Inevitably, it’s not the will of all the people they reflect, but the will of relatively small groups of people with disproportionate political influence.

Nobody wants to face up to the realities of the issues. Nobody wants to say what’s right or wrong – even when it’s obvious and there are numbers to back it up. Most of us are afraid to bring up the realities for fear of being accused of being insensitive or downright mean.

So we say nothing. Until now.

It’s time for a reality check on the fundamentals – much of which is common knowledge to many of us, already. But it might be comforting to know you are not alone …

For Christ’s sake …

ISIS beheads 21 Coptic Christians and posts the gruesome event online.  It also makes a point of saying that they were killed because they were Christians. 

And Obama refers to these victims as merely “Egyptian citizens.”   

After he attempted to make some moral equivalency between the barbarism of ISIS with the actions of Christians in the Crusades, and called the killings of Jews in the Kosher market in Paris simply random acts against “people” in a deli, I thought I was long past being astonished at what Obama does or says. 

I was wrong. 

Obama’s not just incompetent. He’s doing this intentionally – for what purpose, I don’t know.

It’s clear to everyone that ISIS is waging war on Christians, Jews, Hindus and other Muslims who don’t measure up to their standards of what a good Muslim should be.

It is, in fact, a religious war between ISIS and every other form of religion. Everyone else acknowledges this.  Even ISIS itself.

Everybody, that is, except for Obama.   

The leaders of ISIS must be as puzzled as I am. They’ve been as clear as they could be about their motives, in video, online, in print and in official releases. They continue to ratchet up the barbarity and brutality to horrific levels, including burning alive a caged man.

They must be wondering what it takes to have Obama admit that they are Muslim jihadists in a religious war to exterminate all other religions.  What must they do – what depths have they yet to plumb – to get a visceral reaction from this guy?  What do they have to do?  Kidnap Michele and cut off her head?  Rape and murder his daughters?

I am starting to wonder myself. 

Is Obama simply afraid to call the terrorists what they are?  Has he got something against calling the victims of these murderers what they are?   If so, why?  Christians, Jews and others are clearly being targeted by these Muslim terrorists.  So why not be more specific?  Is this like some Candy Man myth where the terrorists and their victims aren’t real as long as he doesn’t call them by name?  Or is he afraid of offending the so-called “good” Muslims?

A this point, who cares?  Predominantly Muslim countries like Jordan and Egypt are launching air strikes against ISIS – do you think they care about the niceties or political correctness of what we call the Islamic terrorists butchering their innocent people? 

Honestly, I think Obama is a gutless bastard more concerned with enjoying the perks of being the President than fulfilling his duties as the supposed leader of the free world. He’s risk averse to a dangerous extreme.  Instead of sucking it up and doing what needs to be done, he dithers hoping bad stuff will resolve itself. 

It’s called decision by indecision.  It’s not “strategic patience”; it’s cowardice .  He’s afraid to pull the trigger and do something – no matter how necessary right now – in case something bad might happen to tarnish his legacy.

That’s crazy.  His legacy is already one of failure after failure, and damage to the Presidency and the balance of power that may take decades to rectify, if ever.

He pretends to be a strong leader and huffs and puffs about red lines not to be crossed, and “serious” consequences, but by now no one here or abroad believes him.    

In other words, he’s a fraud. He’s also an embarrassment to all of us.   

Many Presidents in their lame-duck term take advantage of the situation to do things that may not be politically popular but necessary, since they don’t have to run for re-election. 

Not this one.  He’s even afraid describe the recently executed Coptic Christians as Christians. 

Hey, Obama …the “people” killed in the Kosher market in Paris were slaughtered by Muslims just because they were Jews.  How hard is that to understand?  Or say? 

And the Coptic Christians had their heads cut off by Muslims simply because they were Christians. 

They died for Christ’s sake.  Literally.  So go ahead, say it.

Then send our warships, bombers, stealth fighters and troops in to exterminate the vermin who did this.  There’s nothing to negotiate.  No deals on the table.  Just death and destruction.

And if Obama’s not up to the challenge, impeach him.  Now.
