On September 11th, Islamic groups staged coordinated acts of war on our US embassies in Egypt and Libya, torturing and murdering 4 US diplomats, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. The body of the Ambassador was paraded through Benghazi.
The Bush response to the 9/11/01 jihad was anger, national resolve, and the promise to defeat the enemy.
The Obama response to 9/11/12 jihad was to attack Mitt Romney and promise to institute the Shari'a. This is what surrender looks like. This will never satiate the bloodlust and Islamic imperialism of the jihadist revolution. On the contrary -- it emboldens and empowers it.

In other words, the freedom of speech is a goner.

And in a statement in the Rose Garden Wednesday morning, Obama said in apparent reference to the video: "We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also described the video as "inflammatory."...
