On the eve of the 10th anniversary of 9-11 Chuck Norris reminds us at Townhall.com that the Obama administration is still willfully negligent when it comes to terrorism: Feds Still Enable Terrorists 10 Years After 9/11
Does anyone have a logical explanation for this kinder, gentler, head-in-the-sand approach to the War on Terror Overseas Contingency Operation?
Absurd behavior always makes me ask “why?” It drives me crazy. How do you account for utter irrationality?
When it comes to the administration’s approach to the world-wide terrorism threat, I see only three possible answers:
They’re stupid. Much as I’d like to believe this is the case, it really can’t be. Political cartoons aside, in all honesty one can’t navigate the muddy political waters of Washington D.C. and get elected or appointed to office without being cunning, ruthless and devious. “Stupid” wouldn’t get it done.
They’re ignorant. Well, unless HSH has information they’re not sharing with us, there is absolutely no evidence to indicate that conservatives, veterans, the Tea Party or any other “right-wing nut-jobs” represent a security risk. But maybe they just don’t have all the facts? Although, even though a brief glance around the world reveals that the vast majority of terrorism is carried out by radical representatives of the religion-that-must-not-be-named and…
U.S. officials apprehended 663 illegal immigrants last year with suspected ties to terrorist groups.
… in the past two years, there have been 126 terror-related arrests(in the U.S.), and all have been Muslims.
So “ignorant” really won’t work either.
Which leaves only option three;
They’re malevolent.
Malevolent : having or exhibiting ill will; having an evil influence.
If, having credible information regarding a potentially life threatening situation to another human being, you fail to act to help protect or even warn them about that threat, you’re at the very least a coward. If however the number of people at risk is multiplied by some 300 million, say an entire nation that you are directly responsible for, whose lives you have sworn to protect – you abdicate your responsibility; your deliberate action or inaction fails to reduce the risk – that’s way beyond cowardly, it’s malevolent.
They’re maybe not completely evil. Maybe not even mostly evil. Perhaps there’s just enough “ill will” in them to knowingly endanger innocent Americans. The kind of “ill will” that says; “We’ll just look the other way here… or twist the facts there… throw in a couple little lies…because it’ll further our agenda, our careers or our power… even though we know perfectly well that American lives are at risk.”
Unfortunately malevolence frequently morphs into pure evil – like say, Lenin’s;
“If you want to make an omelet, you have to be willing to break a few eggs”. Or kill a few million of you own people.

Against any degree of evil, our only salvation and strength comes from God. And aren’t we still “One Nation Under God”?
Well apparently not. It seems the ruling class doesn’t want us to even consider that option anymore. As Norris reports;
…New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has decided that a ground zero commemoration for the victims of 9/11 on the attack’s 10th anniversary will be held without prayer. Neither clergy nor first responders have been invited to the event, because Bloomberg apparently thinks politicians will be sufficient to comfort the still-grieving families and nation.
We need to stand up to evil. And for that we need God.
Please consider signing the Family Resource Council’s petition to Bloomberg to reverse his decision and recognize that prayer is needed more than misguided, malevolent politics.
