We've been told by the Administration that the war against terror is all but over. al Qaeda has been decimated by Obama's drone program. We don't need to worry so much about Islamic aggression as we must worry about Tea Party terrorists. Well, this week has proven just how wrong they've been.
On NBC's "Meet The Depressed" they actually tied this attack into background checks harping on the same nonsense about how all of this violence can be eliminated if the GOP would just get out of the way of the left's trashing of the Constitution. The same sentiments were expressed on ABC's "Face The Nation". The father of a Sandyhook victim spent several minutes talking about how kids were shot in the forehead staring in the face of a crazed gunman. These people keep repeating that 90% of Americans want their right to bear arms taken away. That is essentially what Universal Background Checks means. Actually over 60% support the right to bear arms. If anything, this latest attack would cause more people to want to defend themselves, not less. It's like saying we all have to give up our cars because one person ran a red-light.
The only way we will be free of violence in America is if we turn it into a parking-lot and all of the promises of this administration have done nothing to decrease the threats that are still out there. As a matter of fact there is plenty of evidence that recent tweaks in national security policy has increased the threat. Cutbacks in funding, which the Democrats tried to blame on the Sequester, a sense of overconfidence in our government's ability to protect us, this has all led to where we are today picking up the pieces of a shattered event.
The treat is still out there as this article shows:
The attempted arrest of an allegedly hate-mongering teen aboard a Brooklyn subway quickly turned into a wild showdown between cops and a roiled mob, according to sources and video obtained by the Daily News.
The melee began when suspect Stephan Stowe, 17, and a group of eight friends approached a Jewish man wearing a yarmulke aboard a Brooklyn-bound 3 train just before 3 p.m. Monday, police sources said Wednesday.
"Assalamu Alaikum," Stowe said to the man, using a common greeting among Muslims that means, "Peace be with you," court documents allege.
When the man ignored the greeting, Stowe allegedly became combative.
"You think you're better than me?" the teen allegedly said. "We are cousins."
"No we’re not," The man shot back, and told Stowe to leave him alone.
The suspect then started hurling ethnic slurs and called the man disrespectful, according to court papers.
As the tension aboard the train escalated, the man whipped out his cell phone and took a photo of Stowe, who then snatched the phone and deleted the photo, police sources said.
"I'm going to kill you right now," Stowe said, according to cops and court records. He then swore at the man, according to cops and court records, and in an apparent reference to the Holocaust added, "They should have killed all of you."
The man managed to swipe his phone back from Stowe and ran to alert the conductor, police sources said. As the train pulled into the Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum stop, cops were waiting to collar Stowe, police sources said.
I wonder if anyone remembers one of the worst terrorist attacks in history against a school in Beslan. It lasted 3 days and hundreds of children were killed. I've been worried that eventually schools will become the primary target for foreign terrorists because they are considered "soft-targets" due to the simple fact they are gun-free zones.
It seems the left is doing what it can to make more and more attacks possible, unintentionally I hope. It doesn't help that our borders remain wide-open thanks to the complacency of the current administration. It also doesn't seem automatic that once a foreign national becomes a citizen he or she learns to love this country. Suspect number two was a naturalized citizen. I wonder if he got his citizenship because he came to America at a young age.
