© 2016 Jim Spence We went fishing this week and were holed up in a rental
house on the San Juan River, thanks to forty and fifty mile per hour winds. We had plenty
of time to watch as the aftermath of the Brussels terror attacks unfold on
the television news networks.
If you have lived long enough, you can’t help but be
reminded of just how long radical Islamic terrorists have been waging a war on
civilization as we know it. Consider the 1972 Olympic Games. They were
shattered by Islamic killers, intent on destroying an event that featured
athletes from countries all around the civilized world. Headline grabbing mass
murder events, orchestrated by Muslims, have never stopped.
Unfortunately, over the decades the civilized world has
alternated between recognizing the war being waged against it by Muslims, and
ignoring it. Increasingly in Europe and in the U.S. we have let our guards down on common sense immigration policies. In Europe they have been been creating zones where
Islamic communities have grown pretty much independent of law and order. There, terror cells fester.
The advent of the internet has changed every industry on the
planet including the radical Islamic mass murder indoctrination industry. These
days, the mass killings you have seen in Paris, San Bernardino, and Brussels
are also a part of the digital age. Recruiting is done via remote locations.
The pattern is clear. Mr. Obama finds the idea that he needs to have a real plan
to deal with tens of thousands of murderers who embrace radical Islam...to be a nuisance. He has more important things to do......like rub elbows with Marxist dictators. Each time there is a mass murder here
or abroad, Obama feels compelled to take a few annoying questions on the subject at a annoying press conference.
And when the media notes his tone of indifference at the press conference, he usually follows up the
next day with an insincere, but more emphatic assertion of his intent to get
serious about mass murders. But of course Obama never does get serious. Instead, he calls for the U.S. to take even more Muslim immigrants from Syria.
Why would Obama insist on ignoring the fact
that Muslim transplants are the most likely source of new terrorists? Why does
Obama argue vainly that NOT all Muslims are terrorists, which is true but irrelevant because he
ignores that fact that nearly all terrorists are Muslims? Obama’s indifference
to all of this, and the Democrats pretend game regarding racism and radical Islam is
the most startling betrayal on our national security in 240 years.
It was an amazing coincidence that Obama was in Cuba
embracing the Castro brothers earlier this week. As we watched him help legitimize
these freedom-hating butchers, I was reminded of the harrowing stories told to me by the widow
of a Cuban born pediatrician, who fled the Castro regime and landed in Las Cruces decades ago. What an irony that Mr. Obama finds little
fault with these men who have jailed and killed many thousands of dissidents in Cuba, and continue to do so to this day. JFK and Harry Truman must be rolling over in their graves.
Disgracefully, Mr. Obama flew Air Force One from Cuba to Argentina later in the week. Argentina is a jurisdiction
that has confiscated more private property than any other country in the western
hemisphere, except those run by Marxist dictators. There Obama was filmed doing
the tango at the same time his underlings were admitting to Congress that men
he released from the Guantanamo Bay prison had killed Americans after he inexplicably set
them free.
The following day in Argentina Obama baffled us all when he suggested that there is very
little difference between capitalism and communism. What he must have meant by that absurd
statement was there is very little difference between himself and the Castros. And
on this comparison he made a point we could all agree with.
