It was during one of Barry’s pre-Super Bowl
interviews that he once again exhibited his obvious reluctance when it comes
his being able to call Islamic terrorism by its rightful name. Sunday on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS,” Barry
“Almighty” chose to once again “reject the notion” that the war on terrorism is
any kind of “religious war” against radical Islam. Barry said, “I think that the way to
understand this is, there is an element growing out of Muslim communities, in
certain parts of the world, that have perverted the religion, have embraced an
annihilistic, violent, almost medieval interpretation of Islam. And they’re
doing damage in a lot of countries around the world. But it is absolutely true
that I reject a notion that somehow that creates a religious war, because the
overwhelming majority of Muslims reject that interpretation of Islam.” Spoken like a true Muslim.
Barry went on to say, “They don’t even recognize it
as being Islam. And I think that for us to be successful in fighting this
scourge is very important for us to align ourselves with the 99.9% of Muslims
who are looking for the same thing we’re looking for — order, peace,
prosperity, and so I don’t quibble with labels. I think we all recognize that
this is a particular problem that has roots in Muslim communities, but I think
we do ourselves a disservice in this fight if we are not taking into account
the fact that the overwhelming majority of Muslims reject this ideology.” But if that’s true, where are those who make
up this mythical 99.9% of Muslims that Barry makes reference to? The other day I came across something the
Marco Polo once said, and I thought it quite fitting today. He said, “The militant Muslim is the person
who beheads the infidel, while the moderate Muslim holds the feet of the victim.”
Barry continued, “What I do insist on is that we
maintain a proper perspective and that we do not provide a victory to these
terrorist networks by over-inflating their importance and suggesting in some
fashion that they are an existential threat to the United States or the world
order. The truth of the matter is, they can do harm, but we have the capacity
to control how we respond in ways that do not undercut what’s the essence of
who we are. That means that we don’t torture, for example, and thereby
undermine our values and credibility around the world. It means that we don’t
approach this with a strategy of sending out occupying armies and playing
whack-a-mole wherever a terrorist group appears, because that drains our
economic strength and it puts enormous burdens on our military. What’s required
is a surgical, precise response to a very specific problem.”
So if I’m understanding him correctly, it’s according
to Barry that those of us who have little problem in being able to identify the
perpetrators of this growing terrorist threat that the world is now being
forced to contend on what has become a daily basis, do so out of some incorrect
perspective. And that by choosing to take
the actions that we deem necessary in order to protect ourselves, willing to
use every means at our disposal, we accomplish nothing more than to reduce
ourselves to the level of the terrorist.
Who but a rabid leftwing Democrat thinks this way. Barry
ended by saying, “And if we do that effectively, then ultimately these
terrorist organizations will be defeated because they don’t have a vision that
appeals to ordinary people. It really is, as it has been described in some
cases, a death cult or an entirely backward looking fantasy that can’t function
in the world.”
And in demonstrating that the area of terrorism is
far from being the only area where he seems to have lost all touch with
reality, it was during yet another interview, this one with “Today” show hose
Savannah Guthrie, that Barry seem to tout his economic policy vision as set
forth in his State of the Union address last week. He essentially dismissed the notion they were
irrelevant because the Republican Congress wouldn’t not pass them and
emphasized why they were important for the middle class. Barry once again worked to perpetuate the
myth that our economy is somehow being made to grow by saying, “What I’d like
to see is that not only that the economy continues to grow, but that
everybody’s benefiting.” But the economy is not growing, all that has
been accomplished, through the manipulating of the numbers, is to have first created,
and then maintained, the perception of a growing economy.
Barry said, “When you travel around the country you
see incredibly hard-working folks. They’re doing the right thing, they’re
looking after their families, but they haven’t seen as much wage and income
growth as they should have, given high the stock market’s gone, how well
corporate profits are doing. If we can make sure growth is coming from the
middle class up, everybody’s benefitting from the hard work they’re putting
in.” And Barry sought to once blame the
guy who left office essentially 7 years ago when he said, “We’ve made progress
coming off the worst financial crisis of our lifetimes,” he continued. “We’re
now back in a really strong position. I just want to make sure that, in two
years when we look back, we’ll say not only have we recovered from that crisis,
but actually we’ve built the kind of foundation that ensures America does well
for generations to come.”
Nothing makes more obvious how it is that Barry
truly feels about this country than his own description of how he views things. His mission upon coming into office was to
destroy this nation, and since first assuming office he has met with a great
deal of success. And while we who wish to
preserve this nation for future generations are barred from using any and all
means to do so, Barry has demonstrated time and again that there is little that
he will not take advantage of, including using those who wish to kill us, in
his drive to reduce this country to that which is the equivalent of some third
world country. Unless you’re some
leftwing loon, or some worshipper of Barry, little of what he says actually
makes much sense. And while I chose to
focus on only two examples here, there are countless others that easily make the
case. Barry is now in a mad rush to have
the death of America as his legacy.
