President Obama and Paul Ryan Won’t Fight for You

President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Speaker Ryan

It turns out that back in January, barely a month after the San Bernardino Muslim terrorist attack, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson chaired a Homeland Security advisory council that explains everything you need to know about the failed Obama-Ryan efforts to protect the American homeland. 

Johnson made the comments that our friend Rick Moran writing for The American Thinker politely called “delusional” during the Homeland Security Advisory Council’s (HSAC) January meeting.  

At some point in the meeting, City of Austin Mayor Art Acevedo, whom Johnson appointed to HSAC, shifted the discussion to the threat of right-wing extremists, according to the official meeting minutes.  

“Member Acevedo reminded the Council that the threat from right-wing extremists domestically is just as real as the threat from Islamic extremism,” the minutes state. 

Johnson echoed the sentiment. “Secretary Johnson agreed and noted that CVE [Subcommittee on Combating Violent Extremism], by definition, is not solely focused on one religion,” the minutes state. 

Another council member, Cardinal Point Strategies CEO Paul Goldenberg, joined the chorus, Moran noted in his coverage of the meeting. 

“Member Goldenberg seconded Member Acevedo’s remarks and noted the importance of online sites in right wing extremist communities, not only in America but worldwide,” the minutes state. 

According to Rick Moran’s reporting, the meeting was also attended by the co-chairs of HSAC’s Subcommittee on Combating Violent Extremism and that’s where it gets even more interesting. 

As originally reported by The Daily Caller on Monday, a report published by that subcommittee last week urged DHS to avoid using the words “Sharia” and “jihad” (among others) when discussing terrorism, in order to avoid offending Muslims. 

At the meeting in January, Subcommittee Co-Chair Adnan Kifayat “emphasized that the report will be respectful of the communities it seeks to engage with, and will take into account those communities specific needs.”  

You really can’t make this stuff up.  

Your government is going to avoid using the words that describe the act and motivation of Muslim terrorism in order not to offend the terrorists. 

And we agree with Rick Moran that it is delusional and a dangerous—and negligent—waste of money to devote Homeland Security resources equally to right-wing extremists and Islamic terrorists. 

But there’s an even more sinister element to the refusal by Capitol Hill Republicans to use the power of the purse to correct Obama’s CVE strategy: Through its so-called community partners, the Obama-Ryan CVE program actually ends up funding individuals and organizations that sympathize with and cover for the terrorists

Donald Trump was right—a singular focus on Muslims as potential terrorists is required to defeat the jihadi threat, and until that official U.S. government policy, there will be more killings. 

We already know that Barack Obama has no intention of targeting the real threat—Islam in America. The only person who can stop this folly is Speaker Paul Ryan, and if nothing is done, when the next Orlando, San Bernardino or Chattanooga happens, it will be Paul Ryan who is to blame. 

We urge CHQ readers to call Speaker Ryan, the Capitol Switchboard is 1-866-220-0044, tell Paul Ryan it is time to end the folly of Obama’s “countering violent extremism” program and replace it with a robust focus on identifying, interdicting and attacking Muslims who undertake jihad in America. {eoa}
