Rogers slams State Department for Pakistan ads denouncing anti-Islamic film”"},"content":{"rendered":"

FOX<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A leading House Republican criticized the Obama administration Sunday for running ads in Pakistan denouncing the anti-Islamic film that allegedly sparked violent and deadly protests across the Middle East and North Africa, calling the roughly $70,000 project a \u201chorrible idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was a horrible idea,\u201d said Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. \u201cIt gave credibility and it gave a permission slip to Al Qaeda, to Pakistani officials.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ad features President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denouncing the 14-minute Internet film trailer \u201cThe Innocence of Muslims,\u201d purportedly by South California filmmaker Nakoula Basseley Nakoula.<\/p>\n

The State Department reportedly paid seven Pakistani stations to run the ad.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know who gave them the advice,\u201d Rogers said on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union.\u201d \u201cIt was horrible advice. It has exacerbated the situation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

See, once again, a mainstream Republican misunderstands the very situation he attempts to critique, and in so doing, he fails to hit upon the gist of the problem.\u00a0 “The situation” for Rogers, Republicans, some Democrats, and many Americans who aren’t even terribly political active, is that our government has sold out our First Amendment for a expedient, placating nod to Islamist blasphemy laws, a sop to creeping sharia they’d earlier supported in the UN — and in so doing, have emboldened our enemies and inevitably signaled a weakness on the part of the US that could further inflame and destabilize an already tenuous parts of the world.<\/p>\n

But that’s not “the situation” as it exists either politically or strategically to the Marxist left running this country right now.\u00a0 Instead, the Obama \/ Hillary \/ transnational progressivist coalition wants<\/em> destabilization.\u00a0 These are the “bumps in the road” that need some technocratic flattening before a smooth paved highway to Utopian one-worldism can be successfully laid, and its leaders free to begin Paradise with a clean slate.\u00a0 More, the very campaign of denial and apologia is looking, in the run-up to the November elections, to deflect blame from this Administration’s own foreign policy — built to embolden revolution and destabilization in those regions of the world (how else to clear away the remnants of American and Western colonialism \/ imperialism that have so long plagued the noble freedom fighters of the middle east) — onto a pre-planned scapegoat, who now has an bounty on his head placed there by an official of Pakistan, purportedly a US ally.<\/p>\n

It is sickening, is what it is. And it is downright anti-American.<\/p>\n

But worst of all, it is being done intentionally.\u00a0 Not each individual attack or instance of destabilization, mind; just the creation of the conditions under which these things must almost inexorably transpire.<\/p>\n

To fundamentally transform, you must first fundamentally dismantle.<\/p>\n

The arrogant transnational left believes it is using the Islamist barbarians to its own ends, while the Islamists are playing the same game of chess with their leftist ally of convenience in the West.<\/p>\n

I hope they both fail. And if they don’t, I hope we finally gather the collective national stones to insist that they do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
