Since I’ll flush a few readers with this one, I’d just like to say, “Thank you for dropping by. I hope you’re not beheaded or burned alive. Too bad you were offended, but not sorry I offended you.”

Let’s just get down to the brass tacks out of the gate (love mixing metaphors):
Barack Obama’s administration is completely incompetent in dealing with foreign affairs, especially in the Arab world.
While the man talks about ISIS being a “J.V.” team, it’s pretty clear that his clown squad isn’t even up to middle school synchronized lying. From Gropey Joe Biden down to Jen Psaki, they do nothing but disparage our national interest and embolden our enemies. Biden, when he slips up, does come to our defense. I don’t want him on our side, so that doesn’t work out too well. He’s the most potent personal defense item the president has: nobody wants Joe’s finger on the nuclear button.
The reality, Mr. President, is that Islam is not radicalized as practiced by ISIS or Al Qaeda: it is pure. You’ve read the book, tingled to the call to prayer, and practiced the religion by your own admissions, Barack. You surely remember the parts about Jizha, slaying infidels, beheadings, Jihad, and all the other wonders that are Islam in it’s own manual, the Koran. How is it that you dismiss the actions of its most ardent followers as being an aberration?
Me? I’ll take the lax followers of Islam any day of the week. They’re like Catholics in Italy in 1320: not much choice. This is not to disparage Catholics: they follow the teachings of Jesus when they do it right. He’s the messiah of my preference. Peace. Love. etc. But most Christians don’t have a passion for the things taught in the new Testament like the ISIS kids do with the Koran. If they did, the world would be a better place. Lax Muslims consort with infidels (me) and let me eat in their restaurants. They argue with me. They … well, we have way more in common than we hold in differences.
BUT THE CRUSADES!!! Yeah. That was how many centuries ago? ISIS was torching people last week. Boko Haram is still kidnapping children for sexual slavery and forced conversion as of an hour ago. Throwing homosexuals off of buildings is still kind of a spectator sport in Syria as of … right this minute.
The point is, Mr. President, that some things are evil and wrong. ISIS and the other scum do not need jobs. This is not an economic argument. I wish your straw men burned as easily as Jordanian pilots. You are the master of misdirection. Some might call you the king of liars, but that title is reserved for only one being. Close, but no cookie.
Every time Barack Obama soft pedals the cruel and diseased religion that is Islam, he ignites their cause to an even larger fire. The King of Jordan gets it: kill them. The Egyptian leadership, Al Sisi has called for a religious reformation in Islam. I’m all for that: keep three or so of the Five Pillars and we’ll be on the road to recovery. If you modify them a tad, we can keep all five. Just make the pilgrimage to Green Bay, pray twice a day (optional if you’re really busy), give 5% to the poor and needy, proclaim Jesus as the messiah (again, optional if you don’t cook that way), and keep the fasting/self denial during Ramadan (but hold it during January because the days are shorter.) That would be wonderful. Personally, I don’t give him a year before some maniac assassinates the man.
So, here’s a reality check: what in the last two paragraphs automatically makes me eligible for a death sentence in several nations? If you answered questioning Catholicism, you are wrong. A guy named Luther something did that already. Nope, questioning Islam’s tenets, and making fun of, or suggesting changes to, the five pillars is auto death. Good thing Baptists don’t do that except for… well, we don’t do that whole “put the heretic to death” thing. Starting to see the difference between the west and Islam?
If you’re a big Obama fan, you need to really read what he’s said (himself and his minions) about Islam in the past three weeks. I won’t ask you to go back even ten years. Just three weeks. (You can even skip the “woven into our national fabric” nonsense if you’re busy. It’s too time consuming to even pretend to justify that one.) The time period when the most horrific slaughter has taken place by ISIS. If you can justify what they’ve done, and agree with what he’s said on the topic, you’re soul is lost. Simple, no? He’s on their side this month.
Is this too political? Probably. But when our own president is taking the positions that he has, he’s not on our side. Rudy Guiliani has some serious flaws, but he was right on the money when he said that Barack Obama doesn’t love America.
I’m sure the readership just dropped into the tank. So be it. I will not say nice things about a man who doesn’t cry out against this kind of horrid brutality and savagery. I just wonder what he’d say if it happened in Cleveland? Well, it was just 21 Christians on a beach. Probably photo-shopped in its entirety.

I have a favor to ask of my readers: would you kindly share this blog with your friends, family, and colleagues? We hit a million views in 2014, and while the readership continues a nice growth trend, it could be a lot better. Just hit the Facebook like button, share it on your timeline, tweet the blog with a link, and tell that person at the next desk that there’s this lunatic who writes about all sorts of stuff that they might like.
I appreciate your help. When we hit 2,000,000 readers I will give away something cool to a drawing from the subscribers (that’s the box on the right toward the top) who have helped promote this mess. No used sheets, probably not honey, more likely gift cards. Be a part of it. I’ll update from time to time where we’re at in the count. Thanks.
