Obama’s administration and
his supported mainstream media condemned the video and claimed that it was the cause
of the violence. Officials in the Egyptian embassy made a statement
sympathizing with protesting Muslims; they essentially apologized for our
values - for our free speech, as if Muslim religious freedom conflicts with, or
trumps, our rights and has any moral standing in a culture that fails to
recognize any rights. Our administration stood by the statement. Further, they
pressured YouTube to re-evaluate the appropriateness of the video, and
pressured Americans into restricting their speech. Whose side is he on?
The problem here is Islamist
acts of war, not American speech; and Obama, not the video. The film was merely
a pretext for attack, certainly not the cause: all such “protests” and
“demonstrations” in the M.E. have been (and will continue to be) terrorist-organized
battles planned to destroy our values in any way possible. The Administration
had advance knowledge of the Libyan attack and requests for enhanced security,
but nothing was done to prevent it. The Libyan president said the attack there
was clearly pre-planned and the timing was not coincidental. Yet Obama attempted
to convince everyone that none of the above was true. At the U.N., a full 2
weeks after 9/11, he was still indirectly blaming the video for the violence. That
should be no surprise since he has already evaded the truth in convincing most
that we have no real enemy, we should not call terrorists “terrorists” and the
“protestors” are merely in search of democracy.
Why do liberals and their
mainstream media continue to trust Obama? Why do they evade the truth? Why will
they not even consider an opposing point of view? The answer is that they all
share the same ideology. Those in the media are so influenced by said ideology
that they report only what they see as fact through a liberal lens. Opinions
become their facts. And liberal readers/viewers accept them as facts without
thought. Where is their objectivity? Where are the independent thinkers? Where
is their morality - all the way up to the White House?
Romney properly criticized
the Administration for supporting the Egyptian embassy statement and failing to
defend our constitutional right of free speech. The administration and the
media dishonestly chastised him for supposedly speaking too soon and
inappropriately, and the media evaded Obama’s appalling ineptitude in response
to the attacks. But it is Obama who has failed to recognize our enemy and the
war for what they are, to stand up for our freedoms, to protect our embassies,
and to tell the truth. Is it any wonder why Hillary was so naïve in asking the
question “how could this happen in a country we helped liberate in a city we
helped save from destruction?” “Helping ensure the attackers are brought to
justice” and America being “committed to religious tolerance” does not even
begin to address the real problem.
Our administration does not
understand that the religious fanatics have hijacked Islam and want our
destruction, that their religious motives make their crimes more irrational and
dangerous, and that we are thus truly at war with totalitarian Islam. They do
not understand that appeasing religious terrorists is supporting
anti-Americanism, which makes us weaker and leads to escalated terrorism. From
his initial Cairo speech to the present, Obama’s pandering and apologizing to radical
Islam has compromised our standing in the world. If he believes that blaming
America - past or present - for the actions of terrorists relieves him of any
responsibility for such actions, he is seriously mistaken.
