In the past number of days the world has witnessed widespread violent protests perpetrated by Muslims. The violence has been consistently labeled by Obama and his Administration as "spontaneous" citing the underlying cause a video trailer "Innocence of Muslims" that portrays Muslim Prophet Mohammed in unfavorable light. So when "all hell" broke loose, featuring attacks on U.S. Embassies mainly throughout the Muslim world Obama, Clinton and Rice were quick to cite the low budget, low class video as the reason. Their assertion flies in the face of an earlier movie by major financial supporter Bill Maher titled "Religulous" that decries all religion, with about twenty minutes focused on Islam. To any practicing Muslim "Religulous" is arguably more offensive than "Innocence of Muslims." No doubt there is a correlation between "Innocence of Muslims" and street protests, in no small part because Obama, Clinton, Rice and the entire propaganda arm of the left put it on a pedestal.
The violence however has deeper roots, roots that lead directly to Obama as being personally responsible for the widespread violence. It predictably began with his "apology tour" which pandered to Muslims around the world. He apologized for U.S. assertion of its right to defend itself; he declared the U.S. to be one of the largest Muslim nations on the planet; he cited "important" contributions of Muslims to the United States; he declared that the U.S. is no long a Christian nation; he espoused his personal affinity to Islam; and, he asserted that his election would have a decided calming effect on Muslim attitudes toward the U.S. With that stage set, Obama began to implement a succession of Muslim embracing activities including hosting prominent Muslim radicals such as terrorist organization HAMAS at the White House, by installing some Muslims the highest levels of the U.S. Government, and others.
Meanwhile, early in his Administration Obama directed an increase in drone strikes against al Qaeda targets. Later, on Obama's "gusty" orders, on May 2, 2011 bin Laden was terminated by a Seal Team in his compound in Pakistan. Then in a move designed to placate outraged Muslims he commanded that bin Laden be accorded a proper Muslim burial at sea in an undisclosed location.
That drone strikes occur has long been common knowledge, but what was not known is, according to numerous media sources including the New York Times, in an article on May 29, 2012, "Mr. Obama has placed himself at the helm of a top secret “nominations” process to designate terrorists for kill or capture..." This is borne out by Obama's selection of American born Muslim cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki for assassination by drone attack in Yemen in September 2011. In one fifteen day period there were fifteen drone attacks against al Qaeda targets in Yemen, all selected by Obama. Numerous media sources cite the more recent death in June of 2012, of al Qaeda's deputy leader by drone attack. Drone sorties number in the thousands and one can be assured that a large percentage are dedicated to attacking al Qaeda soft targets, which Obama personally selects.
It is well known that Muslims harbor thousand year old grudges against competing Muslim sects, not to mention blood feuds between tribes, families and individuals which demand retribution. Anyone who has the mistaken impression that Muslims harbor no ill will for combat deaths, such as bin Laden or those subjected to daily drone attacks do not understand Muslim mentality. No doubt Obama intentionally or otherwise effectively threw fuel on the "video flames" of "Innocence of Muslims," and that exacerbated Muslim violence. But the underlying cause of the violence is explosive pent up anger directed personally at Obama, not the Red Herring, "Innocence of Muslims."
Obama's "apology chickens" are coming home to roost, his foreign policy is a complete disaster, the U.S. economy is in shambles; and like Nero "fiddling" while Rome burned, Obama smiles big and acts "cool" on Letterman and other hip shows. That may be "cool" for those who are not paying attention, but it's disastrous for the United States of America.
As Clint told the chair, "...we own this country, it's not you owning it, not politicians owning it, politicians are employees of ours...and when somebody does not do the job, we've got to let 'em go..." Goodbye Mr. Obama.
Choose, this day whom you will elect, as for me and my house we will vote for Romney/Ryan. Semper Fidelis
