When we fought World War II, Nazism was an ideology that spawned tremendous evil and suffering. But there was no doubt that the world had to defeat Germany in order to root out Nazism. Germany was the source, or the foundation upon which Nazism was built, and political correctness did not play a role to confuse the issue or our recognition of what had to be done to win against Nazism. Cause and effect was clearer then, and it helped the nation focus on the real objectives.
In the video on page 2 Lou Dobbs makes some excellent observations about President Obama and his efforts from the very start of his presidency to confuse terminology in order to shape the argument. In the first year of his presidency, he renamed President George W. Bush’s “War on Terror” to the “Overseas Contingency Operations.” He demanded government officials and even the media, which has been ever so compliant in all things Obama, to use verbiage that would completely disassociate acts of terrorism from Islam, or even radical Islam in spite of a very clear connection.
That may have been politically correct and made some people feel better, but the truth is that the vast majority of world terrorism has preceded from Islam, even if it is an aberration of traditional or formal Islam. To pretend that the massacre of 49 people in Orlando this past weekend was an act of “home-grown extremism” as Obama claimed, and to ignore the root of that extremism is to completely sever the connection of the terrorist act from what caused that act. The cause was a religious ideology subscribed to by not just one religious heretic or fanatic, but representative of hundreds of thousands of fanatics with differing backgrounds, home countries, and socioeconomic conditions, but with the same religious root… Islam.
Lou Dobbs nails the hypocrisy of Obama and Hillary Clinton in the video posted on page 2, and it is spot on. He also recognizes that Donald Trump is the one willing to call a spade a spade, and it is angering Obama and the politically correct crowd as they try to dance around the fact that their verbiage has simply been a scam that has obfuscated the real problem.
Watch the excellent editorial video on page 2:
Obama promised he was going to fundamentally transform America. And folks, you voted him in twice so you got what you asked for.
Duhhhhhh

An Open Letter to Khizr Khan
Posted by Chris Mark
Dear Mr. Khan,
I want to preface this letter by stating that I respect your son’s sacrifice for this great nation. By all accounts, he is a true hero that sacrificed himself in service to our country. For that I am thankful.
As a veteran, I watched your comments at the Democratic National Convention with a mixture of sadness, and anger. The United States has a military comprised of volunteers. Every single member has made the conscious choice to join the military and serve. There is not a single service member who has been forced into service. It is important for all service members (and apparently, their families) to understand that service to this great nation does not imbue one with special privileges or rights. I found your comments troubling when you said: “Have you ever been to Arlington cemetery? Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America. You will see all faiths, genders and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one.”
Does it matter whether Mr. Trump has sacrificed “…nothing and no one?”…has Ms. Clinton “..sacrificed” for this nation? How about Mr. Obama? Your comment stating that Mr. Trump “…has sacrifice no one” is alarming. Are you intimating that YOU sacrificed? Sir, your son willingly sacrificed himself. As a father I cannot imagine the pain you must feel but his sacrifice is his own. He was not forced to serve.
I am troubled that you would allow a party that has little more than contempt for the US Service Member to parade you into the DNC to denounce Donald Trump. Did you watch when protesters at the DNC booed and heckled Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Florent Groberg? Did you notice your party interrupting the moment of silence for slain police officers? Your own hypocrisy in not denouncing these acts and instead using the DNC as a platform to make a political point is disgraceful. The simple fact is that whether one served or sacrificed does not give greater power to their statements. One vote is as valuable as another. That sir, is why our Country is great. Your condemnation of one person for a statement while standing idly as your party disparages veterans and police officers is the height of hypocrisy.
To conflate the need to prevent potential terrorists from entering our country with the belief that ‘all Muslims’ should be banned is simply wrong and disingenuous. As a reminder, Mr. Trump said: ” “Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” The irony of your son’s own death at the hands of these very people in Iraq should not be ignored. I have little doubt that your son would have recognized the need to protect our country from these very people. In fact, he held is own troops back so that he could check on a suspicious car. Your son understood sacrifice and how to protect “his people”…’his soldiers’….’his fellow Americans’…
As you continue to make the media circuit and bask in the glow of affection cast upon you by a party that has little regard for your son’s own sacrifice, and veterans in general, I would ask you to consider your comments and your position more closely.
Respectfully,
