The State Dept- what a clueless bunch
they’d really be upset as to what they’re called in my living room.
Political correctness = thought control. What side are they on? Screw them. Islamic terrorist jihad!!!! Islamic terrorist jihad!!!! Islamic terrorist jihad!!!! Islamic terrorist jihad!!!! Islamic terrorist jihad!!!! Islamic terrorist jihad!!!! Islamic terrorist jihad!!!! Islamic terrorist jihad!!!! Islamic terrorist jihad!!!! Islamic terrorist jihad!!!! Islamic terrorist jihad!!!! Islamic terrorist jihad!!!! Islamic terrorist jihad!!!! Islamic terrorist jihad!!!! Don’t like it state department? Too bad.
(wrapping extra duct tape around head) How is it that this doesn’t make the mainstream media? Don’t they love reporting on Bush admin incompetence?
I understand the need for diplomacy; however, the DHS should focus its energy on, you guessed it, homeland security. We can redirect our attention to anyone who may have felt maligned by any mischaracterizations when the job of securing this Nation is complete.
We are just spinning our wheels at this point and looking more foolish by the second.
Oh and jihad, jihad, mujahdeen, Islamofascists, Islamists and whatever else.
Get.A.Clue.America
Well you know history has taught us that ignoring a problem always helps to fix it. Oh wait….
This was the thinking at about 6am EST on 9/11.
Evidently, Condi Rice is asleep at the wheel. She’s too busy trying to appease the Palestinian Death Culture as it is.
Are they going after “gang” next ’cause you know, that will fix that problem too.
How would these officials describe the December 7th attack on Pearl Harbor?
In the early morning of Dec 7th,
Not so friendlyhappyJapaneseairplanes delivered packages to US fleet.Definitely against us.
Bureaucracy in action. It’s the symptom. Big government is the disease. Who else would think to separate the religious roots of terrorism from the terrorists? Next thing you know, we’ll have to call them “freedom fighters”.
Just because I am anti-terror, doesn’t mean I have to be anti-Islam. But no one can deny the connection between that religion and the most active and dangerous worldwide terrorist organizations.
This Orwellian bureaucratic step to modify our thinking is not only insulting, it is downright scary. The hubris of people in office or civil service knows no limits.
The U.S. government will never require a Canadian-style human rights commission of the kind going after Mark Steyn to set it on the right path as long it demonstrates such, er, sensitive self-censorship.
One word: CAPONIZED
after reading Stenven Coll’s Ghost Wars, about the internal battle between the “country club” crowd (read: egg heads) and the “bowling crowd” (read: blue collar) at the CIA, this doesn’t surprise me at all.
the country clubers, with all of their philosophy and theory classes in college came out and had no practical experience in the real world. whereas the bowling crowd was comprised of people who’d actually had their feet on the ground…no theory, reality.
the problem with these bureaucrats is they graduated from college (remember, you can’t get many of these positions w/o a degree anymore), and starting working for the gov’t without ever leaving the ivory tower. so they truly believe that if we change our language, become more amening, that it will solve our problems. they clearly never took history, either.
it’s not that Islam has a goal of taking over the world that’s the problem…it’s because we say ‘jihadist’.
State….Department….Bloated Decaying Bureaucracy
Jihad … Jihadist … Islamic Terrorist … Mujahadeen … Islamo-Fascist …
There … DHS and DoS … Just for you …

(Don’t Like It? Too Freakin’ Bad!)
Or what’s currently going on in Europe.
Again – see no jihad, hear no jihad, speak no jihad.
How are we going to defend ourselves against an enemy we don’t even know how to or want to classify?
We didn’t land on
Plymouth Rockthe Islamists, Islamofascists, mujahdeen and terrorists.Plymouth RockIslamists, Islamofascists, mujahdeen and terrorists landed on us.I’m tired of being told that we are at fault for all of the ills of the world. While they woefully neglect to mention what this world’s landscape would look like were it not for the United States of America. Better, I doubt it. Worse for the wear, absolutely. But our government has become a bunch of namby pambies (shout out to aj!) and it is that mindset that has made us vulnerable and continues to make us vulnerable.
To a certain extent we are all pampered by the cushion provided by those who have sacrificed for this great country. We are all living proof of what happens when complacency sets in. Our government is just a shell of what it should be. The American people are but a stone’s throw away from succumbing to socialism. They’ve turned away from self-reliance, individualism, capitalism, traditional families, etc… They’ve been replaced with multiculti, the greater good and entitlements.
Now we have our Dept., of Homeland Security, tripping all over themselves to find the most politically correct way to classify an enemy that has flown two planes into the WTCs and murdered 3000+ Americans. Do I dare mention the fact that we are at war? with these very people.
I pray for this country.
DHS = Didn’t Hear S**t
It is known but never publicized that some State Department officials get themselves on the payrolls of Saudi Arabia and other Gulf sheikhdoms upon leaving Foggy Bottom. I say follow the money.
30…
200% correct.
We cant say war, however. It’s “conflict”.
We need to be PC, after all.
Well done girl!
PC started in Europe and Great Britain. Look where they are today. The most popular name for little boys, MOHAMAD. In this country it’s not ILLEGAL it is UNDOCUMENTED. In Phoenix we had a serial rapist attacking little 13 and 14 year old girls. When they caught THE UNDOCUMENTED who committed these horrendous crimes on little girls, the local RAG didn’t call them RAPES, they were INCIDENTS. We will PC ourselves right into oblivion!!!
I am old enough to remember when Ronald Reagan called Gaddafi a “Mad Dog”. Even though we have been attacked by these Mad Dogs, no one in a leadership role has called them what they are.
I wonder if these “Dips” would take my suggestion and refer to these scumbags as Mad dogs.
Islam can kiss my butt, I say call them what they are Islamic Terrorists, I don’t hear about Christian Terrorists, Buddhist Terrorists, Hindu Terrorists all I hear about is Jihad and Muslims who choose to be terrorists, the whole of Islam is taught nothing but terror, death, violence in the quoran and by their religious leaders, I don’t think that any other religion uses this word or resorts to these tactics as a way to advance a political or religious agenda.
The Department of Hilarious Security (Because what they have and are doing is laughable) are going to the British tactic of appeasment. Morons
The State Department are idiots, 9 days of negotiating to give Mynamar disaster relief? Let me tell you if I wanted to help you out after a tornado hit your house, destroyed it leaving you with nothing but the clothes on your back and I have to negotiate with you to give you food, clothing and shelter, you will still have nothing to eat, wear or have shelter. I am doing it out of the kindness of my heart, If you don’t except it then your on your own.
Personally I prefer “Bomb-tossing Nutbags” over “jihadists” anyway.

I say take the current political leashes completely off of our military and turn a bunch of “Devil Dogs” loose on all of those “Mad Dogs” … Problem will be solved once the politicos get out of the way and let the military take care of business properly …
In WWII the current state department would have declared war on sneak attacts instead of Japan.
Devil Dog’s rip Mad Dog’s a new one.
Uhra!
DesertLover and Blind_Mule
You both have got it right!
Somone needs to make a t-shirt out of that!
Then I could where it to the state department.
Its a new defense stratergy. You stick your fingers in your ears and close your eyes and say nah nah nah untill the threat goes away. Lets call it the Obama move.
If the U.S. State Department is more interested in advancing the interests of our enemies, where can Americans go to have THEIR interests advanced?
The Islamic State Department
There, fixed for Washington.
30pcs, you are covered in gold, solid gold ! You nailed it again.
Think it’s bad now? Just wait until Obama is in charge.
While we are adding to that list of names, don’t forget Bags of Shiite……..

Agree 100%! Either fight to win or stay home. Enough of these PC wars.
By the way, they used to be called “rag heads”, but then I found out that it is not a rag, but a little sheet. So can we call them “little sheet heads”? I didn’t see that on the “prohibited” list.
I’m surprised that everyone is surprised!!!
The Department of State has long been against the interests of the U.S. citizen.
Excellent Spencer vid. Thanks.
This bit from the 1st article made me gag: “a wonderful breath of fresh air from Homeland Security.”
Bush has a much richer vocabulary of terrorism. Here’s one, we must fight the evil doers. Evil doers has a much more powerful religious connotation than jihadist and is rooted in the crusades. It is high time the FBI, DHS, and CIA start using this power label. No matter the jihadist are killing themselves to be jihadist and Islam recognizes them for religious martyrdom. The next level for Bush’s war on terrorism is secret but involves identifying the enemy as the boogeyman! Yes we will be fighting the boogeyman. How’s that for a war on terror and what a sweet CIC we have.
The State Department really needs to be run by the military. Really, we have thousands of (military) ambassadors in Iraq and Afghanistan who have a first-hand knowledge of what we face, and are far more effective in getting things done. We absolutely must drain the swamp at Foggy Bottom–the State Department is an abject disaster and has been for decades.
We are so screwed.

“Don’t they love reporting on Bush admin incompetence?”
i figger their need to cuddle with jihadis outweighs it in this instance …
Close to this topic: Were they terrorists or just stupid?
My husband and I were recently driving across Houston. I spotted two middle eastern men driving a sedan w/ 5-6 10 gallons red gas cans in the back seat. (BTW-We were close to Hobby Airport – Houston’s second largest.)
When I called 911 w/ the description and license’s plate, the guy asked me, “What’s unusual about that?” (I still kick myself for not taking a picture, w/ the phone I was using to call a worthless 911 operator!)
A few minutes later, we contacted a friend w/ another local police dept. He ran our tag and description. Surprise-The plate and car didn’t match! He called in the FBI.
We’ve never heard from any officials about what we saw. I pray daily for the safety of our nation!!!

my initial thought would be just stupid …
however, as you rightly did what you did, it’s now for the fbi to decide …
jihad as taught in american text books means “to do good works”. maybe thats why there not going to use it anymore…yeah right.
John Bolton was right, in his book he had no respect for the State Department…. still loaded with Clintonista careerists.
Thank you, good job, It is people like you that will help keep our country safe in spite of lousy moronic 911 operators.
