Dear Democrats...
Why send thoughts and prayers to victims of terrorism when you resist any attempt to save lives by addressing the problem directly? Why bother when you're too consumed by your own political agenda? Does this not make your "thoughts and prayers" meaningless?
Spare me your sanctimony about "the Muslim ban". What happened in New York yesterday requires far more than "thoughts and prayers"; we need action, to weed out the radicals who distort their own faith to take innocent life. You want us to have sympathy on the refugees fleeing their war torn countries, but apparently none on the Americans that some of these wolves in sheep's clothing kill indiscriminately.
I've heard and seen enough. I've stopped short of labeling all of Islam as a dangerous ideology, mainly because I know Muslims that put some of the best practicing Christians in our society under a table. Christianity had to deal with its radical elements, so too should Islam. If not, that is what armed conflict is for. We will deal with its radical elements if it will not.
Do more than pray or mourn, stop standing in the way. Do your job and put the safety and welfare of the American citizenry first. Radical Islamic Terrorism is real. What will you do about it?
Sincerely,
An upset American citizen
If only Democrats went after terrorists suspects the way they went after Manafort....if only
You have absolutely no leg to stand on for that statement.
I find it bizarre that anyone would (1) drag party affiliation into the issue of terrorism, and (2) would pretend that all of the governmental organizations that the U.S. has that are involved in fighting terrorism do not exist. Apparently, according to Crusader Frank, the U.S. is making no efforts to fight terrorism, there is no CIA or Dept. of Homeland Security, there are no FBI agents out there investigating suspicious people, nobody working security at our airports, nobody cruising the internet to find suspicious traffic, and this is all the fault of one of our political parties.
The FBI, the Obama people in it anyway, conducted a predawn raid on Mueller because they had a heads up from the Obama people at the NSA that Mueller was holding back information. If only they would have looked at Saipov that closely.
If only
The FBI apparently had enough information on Manafort to get a search warrant. The FBI most likely has a division of labor. The FBI folks who were looking at Manafort probably were in a whole separate division from those who try to catch terrorists. Those in the terrorism field apparently had no information that would raise suspicion about Saipov. The two cases are not related. It's apples and oranges. And how would you know whether the agents involved were "Obama people"? Career people in this town do their jobs regardless of their political views.
Anyway, I don't see why you are a fan of this Manafort. He seems like a pretty scuzzy character with connections to the Russian government. He doesn't seem to be very patriotic.
BTW: Mueller has a sterling reputation and background. Decorated Vietnam vet, Republican, appointed to be the director of the FBI by Bush 41, married to the same woman since 1966. Seems like an Eliot Ness type.
