The Obama Administration’s Refusal to Confront Radical Islamic Terrorism Has Made America Less Safe

This week played out all too predictably.

Yesterday,we saw a political show on the Senate floor. Democrat after Democrat standing for hours incensed not at ISIS,incensed not at radical Islamic terrorism,incensed that Americans have a right to keep and bear arms.

This is political distraction, this is political gamesmanship.And I think the American people find it ridiculous - that in response to a terrorist attack the Democrats go in high dudgeon that we’ve got to restrict the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.This is not a gun control issue.This is a terrorism issue.

You want a response to the Orlando attack?Well,President Obama and Vice President Biden are going down and they will no doubt give a self-righteous speech about gun control,trying to strip the rights of all law-abiding Americans.How about them standing up and having the President pledge that ISIS will be driven from the face of the earth?You want to see a response to murdering innocent Americans? If you declare war on America, you are signing your death warrant.That is the response of a Commander-in-Chief.That is the seriousness we need.

And I would note one aspect of the aspect on the attack on Sunday morning, widely reported that it was a gay bar.And there are a great many Democrats who are fond of calling themselves of the LGBT community.I would suggest there is no more important issue to champion in that regard than protecting Americans from murder by a vicious ideology that systematically murders homosexuals - that throws them off buildings,that buries them under rocks.I am against murder.I against the murder of any American.And no one has the right to murder anybody just because they may differ in faith or differ in sexual orientation or if they differ in any respect.

We are a nation founded on protecting the rights of everyone to live to according to their conscience and to their faith.
