The RoanokeSlant

Roanoke Times, 6/2/09, Pg 3: Large Heading and five column large article: Suspect is jailed in shooting death of abortion doctor.
-
Pg 6: Small heading and small single column article: Arrest made after soldier killed at recruiting center.
-
June 3, Pg 5: Almost entire page: Obama’s speech to trek rocky political terrain; The president on Thursday will address a Muslim world where distrust runs deep and credibility of the US is lacking.
-
Thousands of Americans killed by radical-Muslims dating back to the early 1980’s culminating in the horrific 911 attack and the authors of this article and the editors of the Roanoke Times are concerned that the Muslims “distrust” us and that we have a lack of “credibility”!
-
Reflecting on the Roanoke Times reporting of the two murders and the associated Obama response to them is also a clear measurement of the values and motivations of these two entities.
-
A domestic-radical-Muslim shot two US soldiers outside an Army recruiting station in Little Rock Ark June 2, 09. One of the soldiers died from his wounds.
-
Obama was busy getting ready for his trip to Egypt to kiss the feet of the Muslin world and inform them about all his Muslim background and connections.
What an inconvenient time to express his sorrow for our loss! Not the case when a late-term-abortionist was shot and killed the prior day. That was seized upon as an opportunity for a national press-OP to express a strong message of outrage.
-
What a true measure of Obama, the politician, making clear decisions about expressing dismay over the death of an abortionist vs. a young soldier serving his country, killed by one of our sworn enemies in our homeland on our city street.
-
Another true measure of Obama’s dedication to our safety is GITMO.
In spite of last weeks vote by both the House and Senate to NOT close GITMO and to NOT bring the GITMO detainees to the homeland, Obama held a new conference and ranted his distain for Congress and the American people and issued an edict that detainees will be brought here and that GITMO will close end of year!
-
Much to the chagrin of Obama and Democrats and the liberal media, Americans believe, two to one, that GITMO should not close and that the detainees should stay there. They also believe that GITMO and water-boarding have added to our level of safety thereby siding with Chaney and not with Obama.
-
The American people know that as soon as these detainees are brought here the ACLU will find liberal judges who will throw-out all charges and release them into our communities. The “OJ Dream Teams” and Judge Itos are easy to find! At that time Obama and friends will declare: “not my fault”!
-
Perhaps Obama and his liberal supporters should start each day reading a brief summary of attacks upon Americas done primarily by the radical-Muslims he is embracing.
This partial list all pre-date George Bush and 911. Apparently it’s not all Bush’s fault!
