Subjective reality

So, let me see if I have this straight...

- Obama is more than willing to believe that a man is really a woman if that man says so

but

- Obama is not willing to believe that a man is a Muslim terrorist when he says that is what he is and has committed acts of terrorism?

Orlando club terrorist attack

By now, you have likely heard about the terrorist attach in the night club in Orlando. Early information indicates that the terrorist that committed this ugly act (at least 50 people killed and many more injured) is a practitioner of the religion that shall not be named. That he targeted this club due to the clientele that frequent it. Apparently it is a LBGT club.

We have been warned that this "senseless act" should in NO way cause anyone to link this individual to the other practitioners of the "shall NOT be named" religion.

The President, the MSM, all the standard talking heads have been jumping all over themselves to implored us to "not read into" this single, stand-alone, isolated, brutal, senseless act of violence and terror, committed by one lone individual. That this is [yet another] isolated incident of violence that is completely unconnected to anything larger than this one individual. (ed: Despite the now known fact that his father [also a practitioner] is recently on the record supporting the Taliban. Nor the fact that just a couple of months ago an Imam was in the area preaching that to kill gays was an act of compassion.)

Can anyone say [with a straight face] that if this individual was [for example] a practicing fundamentalist Christian or had membership in [I don't know] a conservative group like the Tea Party, that this one, lone individual would not be held up as the standard bearer of all folks that belong to that religion or group? That this religion or group wouldn't in fact be vilified and condemned as a promoter of this hate and violence? But yet another horrific act of terror is committed by a practitioner of "the religion of peace" and we are yet again assured by the Government, CAIR, and all of the usual talking heads that this was but an isolated incident and please, PLEASE do not generalize to the wider group to which he was a member.

How many more lessons must we suffer through? Another 50 people have paid for this willful ignorance with their lives. How many more innocent lives must be lost in this country and around the world before the Government and the media start to speak the truth? That this "religion of peace" is anything but.

Update 2016/06/13: As expected, all of the usual suspects are calling for more "sensible gun laws". This despite the fact that not one of the existing gun laws or any of the proposed new "sensible" gun laws would have prevented this individual from getting his hands on guns. He worked for a security company for goodness sake! He had already been "interviewed" and "looked at" by the FBI and they found nothing actionable. Ignoring the elephant in the room, our betters instead lecture us on how we need to be "civil" and how we need to give up more of our liberties in order to "prevent" the next tragedy, all the while not addressing the root cause of this tragedy. Sorry but blaming guns for this is like blaming the car for a drunk driving accident.

A muslim terrorist and a progressive walk into a bar...

...is not a good way to start a joke, for numinous reasons but to hear progressives talk about muslim terrorists you would think it must be. This facebook post does a good job at highlighting the issue:

It must be incredibly frustrating as an Islamic terrorist not to have your views and motives taken seriously by the societies you terrorize, even after you have explicitly and repeatedly stated them. Even worse, those on the regressive left, in their endless capacity for masochism and self-loathing, have attempted to shift blame inwardly on themselves, denying the terrorists even the satisfaction of claiming responsibility.

It's like a bad Monty Python sketch:

"We did this because our holy texts exhort us to to do it."

"No you didn't."

"Wait, what? Yes we did..."

"No, this has nothing to do with religion. You guys are just using religion as a front for social and geopolitical reasons."

"WHAT!? Did you even read our official statement? We give explicit Quranic justification. This is jihad, a holy crusade against pagans, blasphemers, and disbelievers."

"No, this is definitely not a Muslim thing. You guys are not true Muslims, and you defame a great religion by saying so."

"Huh!? Who are you to tell us we're not true Muslims!? Islam is literally at the core of everything we do, and we have implemented the truest most literal and honest interpretation of its founding texts. It is our very reason for being."

"Nope. We created you. We installed a social and economic system that alienates and disenfranchises you, and that's why you did this. We're sorry."

"What? Why are you apologizing? We just slaughtered you mercilessly in the streets. We targeted unwitting civilians - disenfranchisement doesn't even enter into it!"

"Listen, it's our fault. We don't blame you for feeling unwelcome and lashing out."

"Seriously, stop taking credit for this! We worked really hard to pull this off, and we're not going to let you take it away from us."

"No, we nourished your extremism. We accept full blame."

"OMG, how many people do we have to kill around here to finally get our message across?"

That post is mocking but it is also not very far from the truth of the thing. Muslims HAVE stated that they have, are, and will continue to do terrorism against any and all and by their very actions, they prove it on an ongoing basis but progressives here in America and Europe continue to blindly say "No, that incident over there does not mean anything. It is isolated." When it next happens it is "Nope, not a trend. Isolated." and again "Workplace violence. Not an indication of larger issues." and yet again "Small isolated group, Not part of anything that we should take notice of!"

Let ONE Christian group (and a demonstrable out-liner group at that) shout at gay men and suddenly that one incident is PROOF POSITIVE that all Christians are racists and homophobes.

Conservatives point out the fact that nearly ALL terrorist acts perpetrated over the last couple of decades have been perpetrated by one specific, identifiable group of individuals that all share a very limited set of common traits and Conservatives are the problem FOR NOTICING what everyone else is too afraid to say. Sorry but the truth is, if you are an 18 to 35 year old male that practices Islam, you are much more likely to be involved in terrorism than the general population. Much more likely than your average Christian male. Astronomically more likely than your average Amish male. This is statistics. It is not racist to notice this but it is delusional to willfully ignore it, and it is the height of insanity to demand that the rest of us subscribe to your delusion.

Just this week there was a very large set of attacks in Paris by Muslim terrorists. The current U.S. President wants to invite thousands of Syrians into America. Really? Don't worry we are told. They will be vetted we are told. Are you kidding me?  This very same government that let 4 Americans die at one of our embassies and blamed it on a video. This very same government that ran an illegal arms program called "Fast and Furious" and tried to cover it up. This very same government that spent BILLIONS of dollars on a web site with a shopping cart for insurance and could NOT get it to work nor keep the information secure. This very same government that found ZERO malice or lawlessness in an IRS that demonstrably targeted conservative groups. This very same government that dumped toxic waste into a river and tried to cover it up. This very same government is competent enough to screen 10 thousand or more Syrian refugees to guarantee that not a single one of them is a terrorist. Really? REALLY?

Label me unconvinced and that is no joke.

Suicide bombers get in fight, blow themselves up

Two suspected terrorist bombers in Pakistan died amusing deaths over the weekend when a fight between them led to a bomb detonation that killed them and nobody else.

The good news does not stop there:

Following the explosions, police investigated the mens’ homes and made arrests of suspected collaborators as well.

What you won't hear on the news about the attack in Texas...

A couple of ISIS wannabes tried to shoot up an exhibition of cartoons in Garland, Texas, and the police put them down before the civilians could get to them: a triumph for duty and marksmanship. What didn’t happen next?

There is a mosque in Garland, Texas. It was there yesterday, it’s there today, and it will be there tomorrow. After two radical Muslims attempted to massacre some infidels down the road a bit, there was no angry mob of Texans storming the place with F-350s and rifles. If any vehicle full of armed men rushed to the Muslims’ place of worship, you can be sure that it was the local police exercising an abundance of caution and nothing more.

It’s easy to be snarky–”Oh, yay for us! No massacre, give Texas a cookie!” But only those parochial minds with the narrowest of experience could fail to appreciate how unusual that is in the world.

Exactly right! If a mob had stormed down there or even calm protesters showed up, the MSM would have had dozens of reporters and cameras right there proclaiming how bigoted "those Texans" are but that didn't happen and so that is not news. The fact that representatives of a group attempted a bloody attack and that attack was not returned "in kind" against other members of that group IS news that will not get reported. This is America and that type of thing [NOT holding groups responsible for individual actions] is not unusual - at least not on the right.

Thief alerts police to 'Terror' van

He may be a thief but he is still human. There is no online follow-up to explain details of the van bomb, if it was "real' and what damage it could have caused. Hopefully the thief will take this opportunity (both lack of charges filed and good publicity) to turn his life around and walk away from his criminal tendencies.

The thief took a big chance moving the van. It could have been booby-trapped to go off when started but there is no telling how many lives he might have saved by "stealing" it away to a safer location.

It was originally parked near a Muslim school. Was that the van's source or potential target? Neither would be good.
