From Michael Krieger at libertyblitzkrieg.com:

The faux “liberal” who holds the White House was at it once again last night. As he’s accommodated to doing, he presented a radically undemocratic and unconstitutional practice as a common sense appeal to the American public to accept gun control. What I am referring to specifically is the following passage from last night’s speech:

To begin with, Congress should act to make sure no one on a no-fly list is able to buy a gun. What could possibly be the argument for allowing a terrorist suspect to buy a semi-automatic weapon? This is a matter of national security.

Obama is not stupid. He knows exactly how shady the no fly list is, yet he’s pushing on national television as a way to enact gun control. The effectiveness of his bullshit depends on an unbelievably ignorant voter base, as well as the cultish, thoughtless devotion…

America is in the midst of an epidemic of historic proportions.

The contagion being spread like wildfire is turning communities into battlegrounds and setting Americans one against the other.

Normally mild-mannered individuals caught up in the throes of this disease have been transformed into belligerent zealots, while others inclined to pacifism have taken to stockpiling weapons and practicing defensive drills.

This plague on our nation—one that has been spreading like wildfire—is a potent mix of fear coupled with unhealthy doses of paranoia and intolerance, tragic hallmarks of the post-9/11 America in which we live.

Everywhere you turn, those on both the left- and right-wing are fomenting distrust and division. You can’t escape it.

We’re being fed a constant diet of fear: fear of terrorists, fear of illegal immigrants, fear of people…

SLL has argued repeatedly that the best course for the US in the Middle East and northern Africa would be to get out and stay out. As SLL has acknowledged, such a policy does not guarantee that the US will not be a victim of future attacks by Islamist extremists. However, current policies, or an escalation of US involvement in the region, does guarantee such attacks.

Proponents of involvement, and especially of escalation, while quick to condemn proposals to withdraw by highlighting real risks, destroy their own credibility by neither acknowledging the consequences of past intervention or, more importantly, honestly and publicly reckoning the costs of future interventions. If they did, much of the current support for Hillary Clinton’s and the GOP candidates’ cheerleading for escalating involvement would evaporate.

“An Invitation to Collective Suicide” is  just such a reckoning. If the goal is to “subdue” Islamist violence and “make…

New bureaucratic edict with the force of law – you can’t say anything bad about Muslims. You can’t call them Radical Islamists. You can’t speak it, write it or even whisper it. NO, no, no – it’as not allowed. Don’t call them Jihadists. Fine or jail awaits you –  just like Canada and Europe now!

The Tea Party reports:

The day after a horrific shooting spree by a ”radicalized” Muslim man and his partner in San Bernardino, California, Attorney General Loretta Lynch pledged to a group of Muslim activists that she would take aggressive action against anyone who used “anti-Muslim rhetoric” that “edges toward violence.”

Speaking to the audience at the Muslim Advocate’s 10th anniversary dinner Thursday, Lynch said her “greatest fear” is the ”incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric” in America and vowed to prosecute any guilty of what she deemed violence-inspiring speech. She said:
