Allen West: Can we investigate radical Islamic terror now?
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Former Florida Rep. Allen West issued a scathing statement on his Facebook page Friday, in response to the ongoing manhunt for one of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings.

"Let me be very clear. The terrorist attack in Boston and evolving events indicate we have a domestic radical Islamic terror problem in America," he wrote. "No more excuses. No more apologies. We are in a war of ideological wills and we shall prevail."

He also recounted previous congressional attempts to hold hearings on radical Islamism.

"When Rep. Peter King
...U.S. Representative for New York's 3rd (central Long Island) congressional district, serving since 1993. He is of the Publican persuasion and is known for his active support for the IRA Irish republican movement...
attempted to have hearings on domestic terrorism, he was attacked for being racist," Mr. West wrote.

He said: "We must no longer allow the disciples of political correctness and the acolytes of the Moslem Brüderbund (CAIR, ISNA, MPAC, MAS) to preach to us some misconceived definition of tolerance and subservience."

#1  Not as long as Holder is at DOJ - ain't gonna happen.

#2  IOW, how long before even the MSM and donks in Congress turn on this scheming, secretive president? How many more bombings and bungled "investigations" will it take before people realize the president is NOT on our side? How many more hurried deportations, Fast and Furious operations and Benghazis? How many more American citizens will have to die?

#3  The Soodi Oil Sheiks have our nads stretched over a barrel. The price of oil is based on the USD. If that were to change, ie; USD status as international reserve currency goes south, we're doomed! We've borrowed too much money.

#4  There is more oil in Texas than the entire middle East.

#5  How many Americans will have to die? Depends...some moderate leftists believe that the non-urban areas should be depopulated. The extremists believe that the entire country should be depopulated.

#6  The US is now, the largest exporter of oil in the world, thanks to Eagle Ford, North Dakota and Fracking everywhere, we are exporting oil and natural gas at a breathtaking rate.

The Saudis don't have the energy leverage over us they used to. Our exports of oil will help clean up the current account mess and may even bring enough petrodollars home to bust the Saudis chops.

I expect them, the KSA, to be a bit more cooperative with us in the future with our new found largess of oil.

BTW, both Iraq and Libya have oodles of oil. If we can keep Iraq together and get them pumping oil, we will be fine. The Saudis may yet find themselves out of leverage.

#7  Rex - How many was Obama's best buddy Bill Ayers and his Loathsome wife willing to 'sacrifice for the greater good'? 200M?

Bill - And don't forget the EPA is working overtime trying to figure out how to shutoff the flow of oil we are producing. Give them time and money and they will.

#8  We are not yet a net exporter of oil, though (if current trends continue) we will be by 2020 or so.

We do not yet have the inter-connectivity required (e.g., pipelines) to move all the oil we have to the refineries that can handle it.

The trend is good but the Saoodis still have us in a vise.

And even if we were fine, the rest of the world is not. Given the interdependence we all have on trade, etc., if the Saoodis played hard ball we'd have problems.

A good liberal friend of mine (really) once remarked in a candid moment that the Saoodis sitting on top of all that oil was a "geographic accident" that could be rectified. If we had a sufficiently devious president in power we'd have seven new states in the Union (that's how you get to 57, Barack).

#9  It also depends on whether they consider you an tru-blu green high tax lovn' do what you are told American.

Wuz visiting some backthen friends in W's first term. We were out and I mentioned that since I was in the ol' city, I was going to get all the stuff needed to shoot trap. Went from a friendly game of pool to some sort of an intervention, after these man-girls huddled and eye rolled for a bit. Telling me I had too beer much to drive as they were ordering another, snotty man-girl things like that. And no I don't miss them, too much like babysitting pre-teen girls.

They're working on that one as well type.

Don't worry, Bill. Bambi's doing everything he can (legally or not) to stop that. >:-(

Governor Cuomo Says Boston Bombing Part of 'New Normal'
[POLITICKER] Mayor Michael Nanny Bloomberg may have canceled his morning radio appearance today in response to the ongoing manhunt for a suspect involved in Monday's deadly bombing attack on the Boston Marathon, but another top New York official, Governor Andrew Sonny Cuomo, scheduled his own radio interview on The Capitol Pressroom soon after. Mr. Cuomo directly addressed the high-profile situation in the Bay State by employing a phrase he previously used to describe climate change in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy: "the new normal."

"It's a terrible situation in Boston. And, unfortunately, ... one gets the sense that this is more reflective of the 'new normal,' if you will," he explained. "So much of society is changing so rapidly. We talk about a 'new normal' when it comes to climate change and adjusting to a change in the weather patterns. 'New normal' when it comes to public security in a post-9/11 world. Where these random acts of violence, which at one time were implausible, now seem all-too-frequent."

Additionally, Mr. Cuomo said New York police units are on stand-by and assisting authorities in Boston. The governor further noted that he worked with Massachusetts Governor Deval (Whoa! Nice drapes!) Patrick during their shared time in former President Bill Clinton's administration some years ago.

"I have been in contact. Our offices have been in contact and our respective officials have been talking," he said. "I'm wanted him to know that we're here for him. The authorities have been cooperating. We have a very good relationship with Massachusetts. They've been very kind to us in many circumstances ... I'm a big fan of Deval's. We were together in the Clinton administration so I know him personally and he's doing a very good job."

#1  That is the 'normal' of a failed ruling caste which refuses to face hard nasty truth.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 04/19/2013 14:28 Comments || Top||

#2  Yet another cliché spouting surrender monkey.
Posted by: Besoeker || 04/19/2013 14:33 Comments || Top||

#3  No, it ain't "normal," you goddam IDIOT.

It may be what's going on right now in Massaholia, but it's NOT "normal."

Sounds like Cuomo's admitting to his (and Bloomie's) wet dream about declaring permanent martial law. Farkin' control freaks. >:-(

#4  That remark rides alongside the "acceptable level of casualties" from the gated-community-with-bodyguards set.
Posted by: Pappy || 04/19/2013 15:56 Comments || Top||

#5  So now that the evidence is irrefutable the narrative has shifted from the angry, lone wolf, right wing white guy to the "new normal". It's the new normal because of our failed immigration policies. Mexicans, Somalis, Soddies, Chechnyans...anybody and everybody is free to walk right into this country. We pay for their EBT cards, their health care and their kids' education. Then we act surprised when they commit atrocities. But, hey, as long as they vote donk it's the new normal. Get used to it, peasants.

#7  aristagogue - those who gain power or prestige by playing upon the vanity, prejudices and insecurities of those who see themselves as our best and brightest, or who wish to be so seen by others.

#8  11-22.0 Milyuhn illegal immigrants in Amerika, aka future Democrats/DemoLefties + Whats-a-Pledge-of-Allegiance? Amerikans, is going to be remembered as "low" after the US becomes suborned under OWG + "Unions", etc. starting in 2015.
