In her first testimony before
congress back in March of this year, Homeland Security Secretary, Janet
Napolitano laid the groundwork for the Obama administration’s new
“politically correct” Homeland Security doctrine.
Without ever mentioning
“terrorist” or “terrorism” during her testimony, Secritary Napolitano
put forth the administration’s new politically correct term for those
two words -- “Man-Caused disaster.” Defining the term as “nuance,”
to the German news site Spiegel
Online, Secretary
Napolitano further stated, “…it demonstrates that we want to move
away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for
all risks that can occur.” The “T” word has been off limits by
the Obama administration ever since.
Noting the Obama administration’s
new Homeland Security doctrine, as proffered by Secretary Napolitano, James Carafano, of the Heritage Foundation’s conservative
think tank, may not have known just how prophetic it would would turn
out to be when he stated; “By deliberately trying not to use the T
word they [The Obama administration] run a serious political risk. If
something does happen, they’ll be accused of taking their eye off
the ball and no amount of explination after the fact will suffice.”
Well, something did happen
and Carafano’s prophecy has come true.
President Obama’s new Homeland
Security doctrine has taken our country from being the world’s strongest
and intimidating superpower, to a weak and vulnerable nation being singled
out by every terrorist organization in the world. And make no mistake;
whether homegrown or international, these terrorists want America destroyed
at any cost. The Obama administration’s Homeland Security doctrine
has become no more than a politically correct welcome mat for every
Muslim jihadist on the planet.
President Obama is willfully
surrendering America’s safety for the sake political correctness and
tolerance. This comes on the back of his selfish ambition to become
the savior of the world, the consequences of which are leaving America
more vulnerable to attack at home and abroad on every front, be it financial,
military, or terrorism.
Terrorist organizations are
taking advantage of President Obama’s perceived weakness and ignorance.
But the truly ignorant are our political leaders – and they should
know better – not to mention the left wing media and the millions
of duped Americans who have turned a blind eye and deaf ear to the true
reality of what’s really taking place as they all play along in concert
with President Obama’s insidious plan to weaken and socialize America.
Furthermore, President Obama’s ceaseless apologies for all the world’s problems will
have the exact opposite effects he intends. His apologies for American
“hate” will only empower those who hate us. His apologies for American
“violence” will serve to invite violence from those who would do
us harm. His apologies for America’s “oppression” will further
oppress all those living under the same dictatorial regimes he seeks
to appease and befriend. His apologies for America’s “intolerance”
will insight a backlash of zero tolerance for everything American and
invoke calls for reparations from all who have been offended. .
Our new President has opened
a giant Pandora’s box, and from it flows an evil stream of contempt,
anger, hate and danger aimed point-blank at our great nation. There
can be no better example of this than the attack on American soil by
a homegrown terrorist, Muslim Jihadist, Nidel Malik Hasan. Hasan’s calculated domestic
terrorist attack
at Fort Hood can be directly traced to the Obama administration’s
Homeland Security doctrine.
Many Americans are now beginning
to honestly question our country’s future while asking themselves
a very disturbing question…will America sleep safer tonight?
