Andrew McCarthy warns Romney over Syria

As much as I am impressed with Mitt Romney’s gloves off campaign with the American Pharaoh, there is one thing that irks me. For some reason, to appear tougher than Obama, Mitt Romney wants to invade and install an Islamist regime in Syria. I am no fan of the Assad regime, but the Muslim Brotherhood is not a better alternative. The Syrian war is Iran/Hizb’Allah/Assad Regime vs. Muslim Brotherhood/Al-Qaeda fighting out. Both sides are enemies of the US. Under normal circumstances we would sit by and let them destroy each other. Unfortunately there is a transnationalist Wilsonian Progressive clique that controls the foreign policy of both parties.

Mitt Romney is listening to the Tranzis who want to install another Islamic regime with American treasure and blood. The majority of Americans don’t want intervention in Syria, yet Romney is pushing this. Andrew McCarthy, who has taken on the Tranzi Pro-Islamist Wing of the GOP warns Mitt. He writes that there will be no good result for American intervention in Syria.

Congratulations to Mitt Romney. In calling for “opposition groups” to be armed and trained for their ongoing jihad against Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, the GOP’s presidential contender has managed to align himself with al-Qaeda emir Ayman al-Zawahiri and Muslim Brotherhood icon Yusuf al-Qaradawi.

Like the legacy media, the McCain wing of the Republican party, and the rest of Washington’s progressive, Islamophilic clerisy, Governor Romney is reacting to a regime-engineered massacre last week. Assad’s forces reportedly killed 108 Syrians in Houla, a rural enclave outside the “opposition” city of Homs. Victims included women and children shot at close range, in summary-execution style.

 Yes, Assad’s minority Alawite Muslim regime is a key ally of Iran’s revolutionary Shiite-supremacist government. That does not alter the stubborn fact that the anti-Assad “opposition groups” are dominated by Sunni supremacists. Stubborn facts cannot be evaded by clever labeling — “opposition groups” in Syria having become the euphemism du jour that “rebels” was in Libya, “peaceful protesters” in Egypt, “uprisings” in Tunisia, and so on. 
[….] 

The Muslim Brotherhood, leader of the Sunni supremacists, has a hammer-lock on the Syrian National Council (SNC), the main opposition group the Obama administration has been courting — with the McCain wing cheering from the sidelines. Meanwhile, as trumpeted on the Brotherhood’s website, Sheikh Qaradawi has been organizing Syria’s Islamist revolt for months, reprising the starring role he is playing in Egypt. Al-Qaeda — whose help the Brotherhood is happy to have when it is expedient, as it was in Libya — put its muscle into the Syrian revolt months ago.

[….]

Washington can idealize the Syrian “opposition” into liberty-loving freedom-fighters; to Syrian Christians, they are the jihad. With churches being torched, families being terrorized by kidnappings and murders, and thousands of believers being put to flight

[….]

What Obama has been smart enough to do, at least to this point, is refrain from direct military aid, undoubtedly realizing that he would be blamed when, inevitably, it became clear that American arms went to America’s enemies. But McCain and the Brotherhood goaded the president into using force in Libya — where the victorious “rebels” quickly installed sharia law and parceled out Qaddafi’s arsenal to Hezbollah, Hamas, and al-Qaeda. Another misadventure in Syria, it seems, is only a matter of time.

In their anxiety over our nation’s future, conservatives see the upcoming November election as a make-or-break crossroads. Thus, the Right’s indifference to Mitt Romney, the only alternative to Obama’s reelection, is striking. But it is not bewildering, and stories like Syria’s go a long way toward explaining it. Desperation to avoid the third Carter term does not translate into enthusiasm over the specter of the third Bush administration.

Andrew McCarthy once again exposes the Islamist sympathies of Bi-Partisan elites in Washington. Once again the elites from the comfort of their homes want to send Americans to die in another war for Islamic Democracy. After 11 years of nation building, Americans in both parties have had enough. Mitt Romney has a golden opportunity to stand up to the Tranzi Progressive Wing of the GOP. Instead he is spouting their Pro Muslim Brotherhood  rhetoric.

If Mitt Romney wants a successful Presidency, besides governing as an economic/fiscal Conservative, he needs to stay out of Syria. Many Conservatives have learned the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan. If Romney goes to war in Syria, his Presidency will be toast.

Americans are tired of Dhimmitude to Islamic interests!

Andrew McCarthy takes on Salon over the term Islamophobe

While the Republican establishment lead by John McCain, Lindsey Graham  and George W. Bush cheer on the Muslim Brotherhood’s Arab Spring, many Conservatives see the truth. Andrew McCarthy was one of the first on the Right to break with the whole Islamic Democracy movement. For this, he has become ostracized with elite Republicans. Now the Left is taking shots at him.

Salon has a article called NeoCons vs. Islamophobes. After years of being vilified, Progressives now embrace the NeoCons as the good guys. Andrew McCarthy is named as the leader of the “Islamophobes.” Opposing the Muslim Brotherhood is now considered Islamophobic. Never mind that people like McCarthy are not scared of Islam, just they don’t want to support their agenda. Andrew rips into the Salon article and the concept of supporting the Arab Spring.

A few weeks ago, amid the “Arab Spring” giddiness, a Shiite mosque opened in Cairo. This was big news. Among Egypt’s 80 million people, there are only a few thousand Shiites. It’s a 90 percent Sunni country, with even Christians vastly outnumbering the Shia. So, in their euphoria over the mosque’s inauguration, Shiite clerics heralded this Husseiniya (as Shiite mosques are known) as a symbol of rapprochement.

[….]

The stories are different now. The Husseiniya was shut down last week. Yesterday’s euphoria is melting into today’s harsh reality. In Cairo, home to the Muslim Brotherhood and the sharia jurists of ancient Al-Azhar University, “democracy” has meant the rise of Sunni supremacists. Turns out they don’t do bridge-building. Their tightening grip has translated into brutalizing dhimmitude for Christians and increasing intolerance of Shiism — which the Sunni leaders perceive less as Islam than as apostasy, an offense that sharia counts as more grievous than treason.

News of the mosque’s demise arrived shortly after a report entitled “Neocons vs. Islamophobes” by the leftist e-magazine Salon. Foreign-policy correspondent Jordan Michael Smith was good enough to appoint me leader of “what might be called the ‘to-hell-with-democracy’ strain of thought” in “the American conservative movement.” And if anything needs an Arab Spring, it must be the American conservative movement. We Islamophobes haven’t even had an election yet, much less gotten one of those mellifluous sharia-constitutions the State Department likes to write for its emerging “democracies,” and yet here I am the leader! And a “relentless” leader, too — scalding the Muslim Brotherhood on behalf of a cadre that allegedly includes such luminaries as John Bolton, Michele Bachmann, and Frank Gaffney.

In our struggle “to define the Republican response to the increased power of political Islam,” we are said to be “vying” with “another faction among the right-wing that is equally powerful . . . the neoconservatives.” Counting among their number such heavyweights as GOP senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, they are portrayed as “rather admirably insisting that the Muslim Brotherhood be given a chance.” After the tumultuous Bush years, my friends Norman Podhoretz, Paul Wolfowitz, and Bill Kristol must be having a good laugh: It may have taken a motley crew of despicable Islamophobes, but the Left has suddenly decided that neocons may not be the root of all evil after all.

For all its pretensions to sober analysis, the Salon hit piece usefully demonstrates how nonsensical policy debates about the Arab Spring have become.

There is a split on the Right. The elites view Islam as another religion and think that democracy will solve everything. The average Conservative after having seen the failures of Nation Building (there were no military failures), have had enough and refuses to support the Muslim Brotherhood. Andrew McCarthy has given a voice to us on the Right that don’t want to support the Muslim Brotherhood and its sinister agenda. I salute him and will continue to support his work!

The Madness of Islamic outreach

When it comes to Islam both parties are indistinguishable. Both parties support the Muslim Brotherhood led Arab Spring, albeit for different reasons. Both the Pharaoh Obama and Mitt Romney are itching to intervene in Syria to assist the Muslim Brotherhood/Al-Qaeda in overthrowing the Assad regime and establishing a Sharia based state. Both parties are silent about the clashes between Islamic North Sudan and Christian South Sudan. Both parties support Islamic immigration to America. When it comes to our biggest overseas threat, both parties are Dhimmis to the Islamist agenda of the House of Saud and Muslim Brotherhood. The Democrats view the Islamists as fellow travelers in some global revolutionary struggle. Republicans are blinded by Wilsonian philosophy of Democracy at all costs. This attitude by the part of both parties has made the Islamist movement more powerful than before 9/11.  Not many speak out about it, but one man does.

Andrew McCarthy is a breath of fresh air on the Right. He calls it like he sees it and has no hesitation to call out the Republican Party and their naive foreign policy that enables the Muslim Brotherhood. He also points out the fallacy of Islamic outreach that both parties do. He rightfully points out that after 9/11 the Islamic influence in our politics is stronger than ever. People are no longer allowed to call out the true nature of the Islamic threat. When they do they are silenced and ostracized by both parties. As recently as the 90’s prominent public figures were allowed to criticize Islam. Now it is taboo and both parties enforce this code of Omerta.

A few years back, I wrote a book called “Willful Blindness: A Memoir of the Jihad.” It was about being on the “front lines,” so to speak, of the battle against Muslim terrorism. I put “front lines” in quotes because, though the terrorists saw themselves as fighting a doctrinally ordained war of armed combat, we were treating them as mere criminals — such that our idea of a battlefield was the federal courthouse, and our idea of a commander was, well . . . me.

[…]

Still, things were better 20 years ago. If the book were to be written about today’s counterterrorism approach, I’d have to call it Compulsory Blindness: A Surrender to Violent Extremism.

[…]

See, however wayward our approach in the Nineties may have been, it was still possible to tell the truth, to fashion an accurate depiction of the phenomenon.

[…]

No one prevented me from pointing out to the jury that the Blind Sheikh (Omar Abdel Rahman), whose various physical maladies rendered him unable to carry out terrorist acts, was nevertheless empowered to command the terrorist organization, solely because of his mastery of Islamic jurisprudence.

I marched into the courtroom every day for nine months and proved that there was an undeniable nexus between Islamic doctrine and terrorism committed by Muslims. The Blind Sheikh, the jury was allowed to learn, was not a fringe lunatic; he was a globally renowned scholar of sharia whose influence over a spate of international jihadist organizations was based on his doctorate from al-Azhar University, the world’s most influential center of Islamic thought. And when I demonstrated the straight-line, undeniable logic of the evidence — that scripture informed the Blind Sheikh’s directives; that those directives informed his terrorist subordinates; and that those subordinates then committed atrocities — the government gave me the Justice Department’s highest award.

Today, I’d be ostracized. No longer is the government content to be willfully blind. Today, it is defiantly, coercively, extortionately blind.

[…]

“Islamic outreach” started out in the post-9/11 Bush years as a well-intentioned but wrongheaded way to connect with Muslim communities: convince them to share information about jihadist elements while persuading them that America’s quarrel was with terrorists, not Islam per se. It was a wayward idea, but not fatally so. After all, outreach was just a sideline — something the FBI, the intelligence community, and the military did in addition to, and in the service of, their more conventional methods of gathering information and evidence in order to thwart a threat.

This is how great nations die. When the elites of a country refuse to admit who the enemy is and silences patriots like Andrew McCarthy who speak the truth. I wish the American people would wake up and see the con job both parties are doing in regards to the Islamic threat. I fear it will take the loss of a city for Americans to realize they are being used and lied to by the Democratic and Republican Parties.

Iran at war with the US

Despite the ass kissing Presidents Clinton and Obama have done with Iran.  Despite Bush turning a blind eye to Iranian involvement with AL-Qaeda and killing troops in Iraq, Iran is at war with us. Our elites have a soft spot for the Ayatollahs. The only time we ever militarily punished Iran was during Operation Praying Mantis under our last great President, Ronald Reagan. Iran has time and time again slap us and we do nothing.

Andrew McCarthy his another home run. He explains Iran’s war with America and how we do nothing.

You can clearly see what they are doing in Iraq.” Sen. Lindsey Graham was talking about the Islamic Republic of Iran, specifically the death trade plied by the mullahs, their Revolutionary Guard Corps, their Hezbollah operatives, and the assorted jihadists under their control. And while the plying is being done “in Iraq,” it is being done against America.

Senator Graham elaborated that Iran is setting the stage to frame the long-scheduled withdrawal from Iraq as a case of the United States being “driven out,” a cowardly retreat under fire. Nor is this happening solely in Iraq. Iran’s fortification of the Afghan Taliban also continues at a steady clip. It may even be spiking now as the planned drawdown of American forces gets under way. Again, the mullahs are determined to pose as Allah’s avengers, casting the infidels out of Dar al-Islam.

[….]

To be sure, Iraq is Obama’s kind of foreign-policy triumph. The strategy was not to defeat the enemy but to stabilize a sharia democracy and protect a population that remains rabidly anti-American. So we have built Baghdad into a reasonably stable Iranian client state, pulled ever deeper into the mullahs’ orbit.

The day of Iran getting away with murder need to stop. The coddling by our elites needs to end. Iran should be punished for their aggression against America.
