“The [Obama administration’s] message is simple: Obama killed Osama, and now terrorism is dead… However, the numbers do not bear that out at all… The rate of declining deaths [attributed to terrorism] was greater before Osama was killed!”

Obama’s Drive to Disarm America

http://frontpagemag.com/2012/02/23/obama%e2%80%99s-drive-to-disarm-america%c2%a0/print/

“[The Obama administration] armed Muslim fanatic citizens in and around Libya as rebels in order for them to kill people and break things so they could to get their way. [The Obama administration] is arming Muslim fanatic citizens in and around Syria as guerrillas iin order for them to kill people and break things so they can to get their way. [The Obama administration] is assisting Muslim fanatic citizens in and around Burkina Faso, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Uganda and Kenya as guerrillas in order for them to kill people and break things so they can to get their way. [The Obama administration] through Fast and Furious armed Mexican drug cartels (in particular the Sinaloa Cartel) creating a real and present national security threat to US citizens even as the same US Government makes a complete muddle of it’s border policies and enforcement compounding the national security threat to lawful US citizens… but [The Obama administration] is determined to disarm lawful American Citizens from exercising their 2nd Amendment Rights which We The People reserved unto ourselves to begin with.”
