Over at PJ Media today I discuss how the potential Commander-in-Chief is dangerously divorced from reality.
It’s a nightmare that could all too easily come true: the Republican Party denies Donald Trump the nomination, he bolts, and Hillary Clinton, unindicted by a sympathetic Obama Justice Department, becomes president. If she does, it is virtually certain that the Obama administration’s lackadaisical and fantasy-based response to the jihad threat would continue.
Hillary made that clear Tuesday morning in her response to the latest jihad terror attacks in Brussels, in which at least 28 people were killed.
The mass murders were “deeply distressing,” she said, but the “dream of a whole, free Europe … should not be walked away from,” and “we’ve got to work this through consistent with our values.” Her implication was clear: any response to what is rapidly becoming a state of war in Europe must not reject the multiculturalist fantasies that created the state of war in the first place. The Muslim migrants, including any number of jihadis, must continue to stream into Europe, for to stop them would end the “dream of a whole, free Europe” and not be “consistent with our values.”
Her lockstep establishment response was no surprise. In November 2015, Hillary tweeted: “Let’s be clear: Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.” Did even she believe these words as she wrote them? She may indeed subscribe to the mainstream Leftist view that Muslims have nothing to do with terrorism, and that any Muslim who does get involved with terrorism ceases at that very moment to be a Muslim. But she has never bothered to explain how she proposes to deal with those troublesome people who identify themselves as Muslims and not only commit acts of terrorism, but justify those actions and find recruits among peaceful Muslims by pointing to Islamic teachings.
She has been adhering to and enforcing this denial for years. In October 2009 when she was secretary of State, the Obama administration joined Egypt in supporting a resolution in the UN’s Human Rights Council to recognize exceptions to the freedom of speech for “any negative racial and religious stereotyping.” Approved by the U.N. Human Rights Council, the resolution called on states to condemn and criminalize “any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence.”
The effect of this criminalization would be to forbid all criticism of Islam, including analyses of the motives and goals of jihad terrorists. The jihad would then proceed unopposed, as to stand against it would be “incitement to discrimination, hostility and violence.”
“Incitement” and “hatred” are in the eye of the beholder — or more precisely, in the eye of those who make such determinations. The powerful can decide to silence the powerless by classifying their views as “hate speech.” The Founding Fathers knew that the freedom of speech was an essential safeguard against tyranny: the ability to dissent, freely and publicly and without fear of imprisonment or other reprisal, is a cornerstone of any genuine republic. If some ideas cannot be heard and are proscribed from above, the ones in control are tyrants, however benevolent they may be.
But with this resolution, no less distinguished a person than Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave her imprimatur to this tyranny.
She affirmed the Obama administration’s support for it on July 15, 2011, when she gave an address on the freedom of speech at an Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) conference on Combating Religious Intolerance. “Together, she said, “we have begun to overcome the false divide that pits religious sensitivities against freedom of expression and we are pursuing a new approach. These are fundamental freedoms that belong to all people in all places and they are certainly essential to democracy.”
But how could both religious sensitivities and freedom of expression be protected?
Clinton had a First Amendment to deal with, and so in place of legal restrictions on criminalization of Islam, she suggested “old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming, so that people don’t feel that they have the support to do what we abhor.” She held a lengthy closed-door meeting with OIC Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu in December 2011 to facilitate the adoption of measures that would advance the OIC’s anti-free speech campaign. But what agreements she and Ihsanoglu made, if any, have never been disclosed. Still, the specter of an American secretary of State conferring with a foreign official about how to restrict the freedom of speech in order to stifle communications deemed offensive to Muslims was, at the very least, chilling.
If Clinton is, against all likelihood, indicted or otherwise falters, Bernie Sanders is unlikely to stand any more strongly than she would for the freedom of speech and against the global jihad. Last October, Muslim student Remaz Abdelgader referred to Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson’s statements about not wanting a Muslim president, saying to Sanders: “Being an American is such a strong part of my identity, but I want to create a change in this society. I’m so tired of listening to this rhetoric saying I can’t be president one day, that I should not be in office. It makes me so angry and upset. This is my country.” Sanders’ response? “If we stand for anything we have to stand together and end all forms of racism in this country. I will lead that effort as president.”…

Attitude of Western elites: “HEY, it may not be working, but let’s continue with the same program…FULL SPEED AHEAD! What cliff?”
MARTIN jENKINS says
Like Merkel, come Judgment day Clinton must be tried for treason. Whilst Islam destroys what we believe in under our very noses and very publicly, they simply turn their stupid naïve heads and say there are only a few `weeds` in the garden. THEY WILL TAKE OUR GARDENS UNLESS WE STOP THEM
Jay Boo says
The mass murders were — “deeply distressing,”
— It is so sad.
— Such an unfortunate occurrence
— Sadly, from time to time these things happen.
— We were shocked and saddened.
— We never saw this coming.
— Not all Muslims are doing this.
— —– If only we had more of an anti-Islamophobia multiculturalist mindset and improved mental health treatment centers and fixed climate change Muslims would like us better. But the main thing is that we do not get angry at Muslims or question their ‘religion’ Islam. Don’t get mad — get sad.
Any final thoughts Hillary?
“So Sad”
Raja says
Jay,
The expression “So sad” is an euphemism to avoid any embarrassment that might be left in the lady.
It is really queer to understand that Americans are considering this vamp a spineless, rudderless, characterless and most importantly highly irresponsible when comes to Islamic terror to be future commander in chief.
So sad indeed!!!! (for US and the rest of the world)
Mark Swan says
“consistent with our values.” This Woman Needs To Speak For Her Self.
Mr. Sanders Thinks He’s Slick When He Say’s “end all forms of racism in this country” when Talking about Islam…He knows full well Islam concerns are not about any race, but a very dangerous theocracy.
Besides trying to prevent our citizens their freedom…to urge a UN sway on American Law…
The Gold Standard of All Law Anywhere.
I am Hoping Mr. Trump will get His chance to run against Mrs. Clinton …let the American people
see Her in the light of day…We will be surprised simply by what voters really do feel most important…
and who they feel can help make that happen.
BC says
No tall Muslims are doing this but repeated polls show that a high percentage of them are in favour of or or acquiescing in it. In their deepest core all Muslims seek the domination of the world by Islam, that is a fundamental part of the faith
Raja says
BC,
You are spot on about the Islamic dominance of the world and most Muslims look forward to that.
In meanwhile, as the radicals play the bad cop the “pious” play the good cop. The shared objective of both the cops is the same: kill the infidels and make them submissive to Islam They call this Sharia compliant.!!!!.
EmHotep says
Dear friends our president Tayyip Erdogan who is the biggest supporter of ISIS will be going to USA on the 29 of March to open a mosque in Maryland. He is the last islamic dictator and a partner for Reza Zarrab (money laundering partner). I hope that the US and it’s great public prosecutor Preet Bharara arrest him …!
Help us to stop Erdogan and its islamic ideology.
With love from Turkey.

This is what proves that democracy IS a failure. People who have NO CLUE can decide who’s going to run the country….
*SIGH*
Ted Tyler says
Herman, The videos from Mark Dice show that there are many clueless people in America. What his videos do not show is the percentage of Americans that are clueless.
Mike Proulx says
What Values is she talking about?
mortimer says
Mike Proulx asked: “What Values is she talking about?”
Prevarication, arbitrary arrest, conspiracy, repression of the First Amendment, Dhimmitude.
Ted Tyler says
So Mark Dice is asking women who evidently do not have a clue as to what Sharia Law is. As least one of the interviewees admitted that she did not know what Sharia Law was – yet she would support Hillary’s programs on Faith. Mark Should have asked questions like “What is Sharia Law”?
mortimer says
They don’t know what the Bill of Rights is either. They don’t recognize the name ‘Karl Marx’.
Ted Tyler says
Mark Dice has many videos in which he asks a variety of fundamental questions that people should know the answers to. The results are simultaneously entertaining and depressing. I suspect (hope) that what we were seeing was just a sampling of clueless people. What would be of interest to know would be: what percentage of people are clueless, what percentage have a rough idea, and what percentage nail it.

In the meantime, a pro muslim Nato court sends Radovan Karadzic to jail for defending his people from the genocidal islamic jihadists backed by US, Nato and their islamic allies. What shameful times are we living. Read on the BBC link below: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35893804

From the link you provided:
UN – United Nations. Not a NATO court, a UN court. And there’s no mention of pro-muslim influence in that article either. Again, the sources you provide to back your claim end up shooting it down. I certainly hope the Kremlin isn’t paying you much – they’re not getting their money’s worth.

Or so you say, much like “palestinians”. And do notice that the website you’re linking to belongs to a notoriously racist and homophobic organization – they may be right up your alley but I, for one, want nothing to do with them.

Correction. Where it reads:
“Russia supports the genocidal, suicidal, jihadi regime of Iran, that swore to wipe Israel out of the map.”
It should read:
“Russia supports the genocidal, suicidal, jihadi regime of Iran, that swore to wipe Israel, a slice of Western Democracy and the only safe haven for Christians in the entire Middle East out of the map.“

Christian,
If Radovan has committed crime against humanity he must be punished. By the same yardstick the Ayotollahs/khaminis and almost all of Muslim heads of states/leaders must be prosecuted and tried in courts(and punished too).
Unfortunately, there is not a single world leader who might want this.
The world leaders of West have failed their nations and the world at large. Democracy is just not working.

The so-called “International Court of Justice” which is based on The Hague is funded by the US and Nato and its a Kangaroo court that was set up to persecute Africans and some others who don’t cow-tow to the US and Nato hegemonical interests.

Let’s see, a recent case brought to the ICJ.
Alleged Violations of Sovereign Rights and Maritime Spaces in the Caribbean Sea (Nicaragua vs Colombia)
Can you explain me, CB, how that is related to “persecuting Africans” or “others who don’t cow-tow to the US and Nato hegemonical interests”?

Oh, and here’s another good case:
LaGrand case

Germany *won* that case. How is that possible, CB, if the ICJ was, as you claim, created to persecute “Africans and others who don’t cow-tow to the US and Nato hegemonical interests”? Sheesh, creating a court to serve your own interests and *losing* a case? Are you sure you want to stick with that far-fetched story?

I would have thought it impossible for US foreign policy to be both pro-Iranian and pro-Muslim Brotherhood at the same time, but the Obama administration has managed it. As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton literally personifies that policy as she carries it out. We can expect no change and no improvement from Hillary.
Bernie Sanders has nothing but a bag full of old left cliches. He hasn’t got a clue, or a chance.
Hillary vs. Trump is a nightmare scenario for me, but in no case can I vote for Hillary.

Just before the last election, the Obama administration staged a television spectacular where they raided Pakistan and killed Bin Laden. But it was just a show, there was no effective follow-up.
I hear we’re just now stepping up the bombing campaign over in the Sandbox, hitting al-Quaeda camps and causing mass casualties. I suppose there will be some good photo-ops before November. Maybe the Justice Department will even indict a banker or two for crimes on Wall Street.
I don’t believe a word of it. Not this time.

All Americans need to get over the stigma being attached to Donald Trump,He is saying now so much that needs to be said that other politically correct or timid politicians won’t for fear of offending Muslim and other sensitivities despite the necessity.
If he ends up as President ahead of the dubious Hillary Clinton, it will be because America and the World needs a successful man of his caliber, despite his faults, and don’t trust her double-talk..

“Hillary Clinton — and everyone else in the world — clearly knows that all too many Muslims do in fact have something to do with terrorism. And the fact that many millions do not tells us exactly nothing about the content of Islamic teaching, and whether or not the Qur’an and Sunnah contain material that makes many Muslims think that Islam is indeed our adversary.”
“And the fact that many millions do not ”

The Peaceful Majority Is Irrelevant
The question raised here was irrelevant. The answer, however, was spot on.
The statistics show that out of 1.2 billion Muslims, only 15 to 25 pct. are radical and violent. We face a threat of 180-300 million killers

Something completely of the record. When white Afrikaner Christians in South Africa were bombed to pieces by Communist supporting countries and even free democratic countries (Read USA and Israel) blowing up women and children no single word world wide were uttered against it it. Why would any sane person in this barbaric continent called Africa where internationally there are more sympathy for rhinos being pouched than up to 50 whites are murderer by blacks every month.In Belgium and France less than 100 people were killed by terrorist the past 365 days. That is the white tally in South Africa. Remember, some of the communist ANC terrorists biggest supporters was and still is Jews in South Africa and no word from them condemning it either. So, why should the Jews get preferential treatment. Not in my book.
