Dereliction Of Duty

When Dr. George Tiller was gunned down by Scott Roeder as he was going to his church on Sunday, the attention of the Left concentrated not only on the senseless crime of murder that had once again plagued our society, but the assassination took a political turn as Dr. Tiller was a renown abortion doctor. The criminal who took his life and the crime became an agenda driven symbol of what the pro-abortion advocates consider a true gift for their cause.
Even Obama chimed in about the crime and rightfully so, as one cannot in any case react in such manner to whatever policy is disagreeing with, lest the road to anarchy would be wide open.
Regardless of one’s personal position on the ever-so-controversial issue of abortion, Dr. Tiller was not breaking the law as it stands today, therefore his murder is to be condemned as much as any similar crime.
My moral and ideological position is that if one disagrees with a specific legislation, one has the right to dissent, but always within the boundaries of the rule of law. Even in protest, the conduct of each one of us must remain lawful.

As a result of Dr. Tiller’s homicide, AG Holder is considering having the U.S. Marshal Service guard abortion clinics.

On Monday, June 1st, a man drove up to an Armed Forces Recruiting Office in Arkansas and gunned down two soldiers who were in front of it having a smoke. The attack left one soldier, William Long, 24, dead and one critically wounded, Quenton Ezeagwula, 18.
Shortly after, the attacker was apprehended on a nearby highway and arrested, still in possession of the assault rifle used in the attack.
As the details of the assault became known, the public found out that the ‘alleged’ attacker was one Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad, 24.
It has become known now that the man is a convert to Islam and his motive for the attack was the grudge he holds against the Military for their war against Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq.
As more details become available, it also becomes obvious the different approach that the American so-called leadership is taking toward the two incidents, because no statement has come out of the White House regarding the murder of Long, who, together with Ezeagwula, had just come back from Basic Training and was working as a recruiter’s assistant.
Also absent is any step from AG Holder regarding any additional security from Federal Law Enforcement Agency to be offered to Military Recruiting Centers, even after the multiple attacks they have been victims of in the last few years.

This brings me to my thoughts.
Regarding the murder of Dr. Tiller, I believe that the person responsible should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, including the application of capital punishment, as premeditation has been basically proven.
By similar parameters, the murderer of William Long should also receive the maximum the law allows, including the death penalty. As a matter of fact, I would like to see these two champions of their religious beliefs sharing the same cell on death row. Maybe the taxpayers’ could get a good deal by executing both at the same time, like a group discount?

The other aspect of my thinking is regarding the reaction to the two murders from the White House. Statement from the President and ‘action’ from the Attorney General for the case of Dr. Tiller, but practically nothing for the case of Pfc. Long. What does that tell me? Really, nothing new.
I have sustained for a long time that the Obama Administration considers the Military almost as an enemy, but one that they see mandatory to pander to. I am convinced that the Military is viewed by the Obama regime as a great threat to their goal for the country.
From the lack of real interest during his campaigning to the actions on Guantanamo and Iraq, and from the cutting of the Military budget at a time our Military is involved in two wars to the release of the Right Wing Manual from the Homeland Security Agency which singled out Veterans as potential right wing activist, the Obama clan has been dumping on the men and women in uniform at every possible turn, even considering having those Veterans in need of medical help having to pay for their own care.
Regardless of how many articles the Media publishes about the Military Family cause taken up by Michelle Obama, and no matter the flowery speech Obama’s teleprompter makes, my impression still remains that the American leadership has quite a disdain for the Military, in true progressive fashion.

Violence against Military Recruitment Centers has increased since the beginning of the war in Afghanistan following the 9-11 attacks, with groups like Code Pink being on the forefront of the incitement of it. After the murder of Dr. Tiller, the blame for that act of violence was given by the Left to everybody and their brother: Bush, O’Reilly, the Pope, the Church, Christians, the NRA and whoever else one could think of.
So I am putting forward my interpretation of guilt for the murder of William Long. I hold Ted Kennedy and Dick Durbin responsible for inciting Islamic nutcases to even more violence by parading the Abu Grahib pictures for months at the time in front of every video camera they could put their ugly faces and even uglier souls in front of. I hold Obama responsible for reverting back to pre-9/11 times and giving the FBI counter-terrorism jurisdiction over CIA, because the killer of Williams was under FBI surveillance following a trip he had made to Yemen and Jihad indoctrination he had received there from a local Imam. Well, what happened to the surveillance?

In the meantime, there is a family that has to bury a 24 years old soldier. It is hard enough when a soldier falls on the battlefield, but when the death occurs on American soil, when the only fault of the young man was to want to serve his country, the loss is just senseless.
I understand that the Obama pandering to the Muslim world is at its height these days with the upcoming speech he is going to give in Egypt, probably another apology for big, bad America, but ignoring the reality of the potential for similar violence within our borders from Islamic extremists is, to me, dereliction of duty.

Are the American streets becoming as dangerous for our Military as the streets of Baghdad or Fellujah or Kabul?


And these are my thoughts!
