Obama Sides With Jihadists  

Laura:  Obama never threatened to withhold aid to Egypt when the mb was in power. He sold them F-16′s. Now that the jihad terror group has been rightfully ousted from power, Obama cuts off aid. Obama has clearly revealed himself to be on the side of the jihadists at every turn. Through his henchman lurch Kerry, he has also threatened Israel with a delegitimization campaign on “steroids” if it refused demands to surrender its territory to the genocidal PA. No delegitimization campaign against the savage jihadists of the mb and PA however. This man has consistently taken the side of evil.

Obama’s Strange Love Affair with the Muslim Brotherhood  

It’s hard to fathom how or why our administration ever thought the Muslim Brotherhood saw democracy as other than a means to an end — and a particularly repellent one at that — in the first place.
It’s not as if the MB is subtle. They have proclaimed who they are since their founding by Hasan al Banna in 1928 and have not wavered in any significant way since in their global jihadist goals. They have also been unstinting in their massive misogyny, homophobia and rigid support of Shariah law über alles (quite literallyüber alles, since the Brotherhood were — virtually the last still unrepentant — allies of Hitler in WWII).
You know, liberal stuff. (Read more…)

Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, wrote to a congressman in a letter obtained by The Associated Press. (Read more…)
