When Jimmy Carter was President, Islamism — and the radical chic romanticization of the PLO — became all the rage, particularly among the academic set.
Too, today, with Barack Obama as President, Islamism — and the radical chic romanticization of Hamas, Hezbollah, the PLO, and even to a certain extent al Qaeda — has become all the rage, largely among that same set (and those trained by them to luxuriate in that intoxicating musk of Otherness).
Seems eerily similar, doesn’t it?
And here’s why: Both of these men are narcissistic progressive Democrats, neither of whom respects the bounds of the Constitution.
And both are largely anti-Semitic, to boot.
It’s true. Google it! Then pass it on to your friends!
All true, except this time they’re attacking us on our soil, via Stealth and Overt Jihad, and the Anti-Semitism seems much more militant.
We could weather Carter’s Regime, but we’re much weaker and less resolute this time – we’re a softer, more mailable people.
– Seems as if about every 20 or so years ‘Merica decides to do a little “cleansing by fire”, electing some asocial misfit who wouldn’t make it in a laundromat. let alone a political career.

– Personally I can’t wait for the purges to begin.
“Granted that during the Carter administration the Soviets were gobbling up real estate from Afghanistan to Grenada, it is significant that in this wretched era the only loss of actual U.S. territory was to the Islamists.” — Mark Steyn
I’m waiting for the Baghdad embassy to be captured by ISIS/ISIL/WTF, and the Chinese to start pushing for more territory grabs in the Pacific, in a “generated crisis”, exactly as Joe Biden predicted. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keEsJVrlw6I ) The only thing he got wrong was that it isn’t just one generated crisis. I also don’t think he was planning on Obama failing at all of them.
I’m sensing a pattern here… .

Those elected officials and thinkers who should be The Opposition are collaborators now with the Left.
We are on our own and the Quislings will not only not support our efforts in any way, as we have seen, they will viciously and underhandedly attack us – doing most of the dirty work for the Leftists.

Bathing usually helps with that, but then again, look who we’re talking about…
