Last week far-left magazine The New Republic published a deliberately crafted lie by Jonathan Chait, meant to attack conservatives and our Constitution. Or, to be more precise, the Second Amendment.

Americans who value truth in reporting should be disgusted by the false accusations and intentional misuse of language used by Chait, Collins, and Milbank to distort conservative values on national security, gun ownership and terrorism:

Conservatives Discover One Right Accused Terrorists Should Have
…
But if you’re on the terrorist watch list, your right to own a gun remains inviolate …
- The New Republic Senior Editor Jonathan Chait.

If the smoldering Times Square car bomb is President Obama’s measure of success, what would constitute a failure?  

A mushroom cloud over New York?

Sucess, to Obama, is the measure of reaction and response to the incident, after the fact. And it’s eerily similiar to how he responds to other national crisis.  

 DOD reports from their website:

Obama praised citizens’ vigilance in reporting suspicious activity to authorities, and quick-responding state and federal officials who helped avert a potential disaster.

 It is time for this administration to raise the bar on itself.  Preventing the terrorist from leaving the runway on his way out of the country isn’t crime prevention.

During the press conference, Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano touted the arrestof Shahzad aboard a Dubai-bound flight Monday night as a successand a testament to interagency cooperation.  

The passengers on-board that Emirates Flight would agree. 

“I have a message for you to go back to the gate immediately so make the left turn when able,” says the controller. 

 Thank God the Times Square Terrorist wasn’t packing a bomb on the flight. Would we have had to depend on a vigilant citizen to disarm his shoe/crotch/beard/anal bomb to avert further disaster? Remember– they can claim sharia law to exempt themselves from body scans.

We don’t need to live in New York or be aboard the same plane with the escaping terrorist to know that the Time Square terrorist attack was a complete and utter failure on the part of this administration to PREVENT terrorism on the Homeland. 

The only saving grace, once again, was from incompetence, NOT proactive law enforcement or Homeland security measures.  

Lest we forget, this is what happens when the bomb actually goes off:

Federal Governments Failure to "Prevent Terrorism"

Timothy McVeigh walked away from his car bomb, too.

We must always support the dedication & hard work of our law enforcement professionals, but let’s be honest about reporting the facts.

It’s time for the Left to make their turn:  Stop misrepresenting, stop giving this Administration a pass, stop preventing law enforcement from doing their job utilizing all available resources, techniques and experience when it comes to executing the War on Terror.

Dropped by the wayside, while the Obama Administration pretends to deal with the Arizona Immigration Law, the Deep Horizon Oil Spill, Cap and Trade and convincing Americans socialized healthcare is good for them, is the ongoing War on Terror.

Just as he attempts to redefine the issues that affect America’s national security and economic stability, one has to ask, has President Obama successfully redefined the War on Terror?

The following are highlights of the words President Obama has used in his attempt to redefine the War on Terror to a Just War for the jihadist:

11/09/2009 – Obama Wins the Noble Peace Prize 

11/25/2009 – Mullah Omar’smessage: “In Celebration of Eid al-Adha“ 

“To the heroic protective mujahideen in the trenches:”

 

   “…in the affairs of Jihad, and be aware to reserve the general property and especially during your operations, and focus on the martyrdom operations against the occupying enemies and their cooperatives, and their important interests, and avoiding the general public when killing and injuring is the responsibility of every believers, because targeting the general public with killing and wounding is a prohibited matter in Sharia—in any condition—and it is a matter which our Hanif faith doesn’t condone at all.”

12/02/2009 - Obama’s Address on the War in Afghanistan

 ”As we know, these men belonged to al Qaeda — a group of extremists who have distorted and defiled Islam, one of the world’s great religions, to justify the slaughter of innocents.”

12/11/2009 – Obama’s Nobel Remarks*

“[N]o Holy War can ever be a just war. For if you truly believe that you are carrying out divine will, then there is no need for restraint — no need to spare the pregnant mother, or the medic, or the Red Cross worker, or even a person of one’s own faith.” 

*it’s important to note how mid-speech, “you” appears to be directed, not toward the audience, but the jihadists themselves.  

Translation:  Keep the killing isolated to soldiers. You are not extremists, but jihadists waging a Just War, if only you will abide by a Just War Doctrine. 

Obama’s Just War Doctrine? 

You decide.

Let’s not allow the Obama Administration or the media to continue framing the debates on American national security and sovereignty.

Let’s not forget our soldiers still fighting this ongoing War on Terror in the battlefields.
