I've been caught asking myself the same question many times this week.

"Does our President believe in terrorism?"
No, I'm not asking if he personally believes in the use of terrorism, or the ideology of terrorism, or the effectiveness of the weapon of terrorism. Some of my critics are already condemning me for not asking that question from the start. And as well intentioned as some are who would hold those positions, I feel a need to break things down into even more succinct pieces.

Does President Obama believe in terrorism's existence and imminence in the days we live this very minute?
Normally it would be easy to laugh off such a question from an opinion writer, but these aren't normal days. The middle easy is burning down. Terrorists are shooting missiles at our best ally. We just turned five of the world's worst terrorists loose in exchange for a man who got brainwashed to believe the terrorists. And then came this past week...
A source at the border patrol has informed me going back to the days of 9.11.2001, that on any given month (then) we'd have a dozen persons of middle eastern origin attempt to penetrate our southern border each month. In 2014 my source tells me that number is now regularly above a hundred. These persons look very much like all the others crossing the border, most have even learned some spanish, and like all the others they are blending in with, they climb the ladder, jump the fence, and wait for border patrol to pick them up.
This is important to understand given that in the past week--only due to diligent reporting--have we had it revealed that the executive branch of the federal government has authorized free rides for illegals to destinations of choice in the mainland of America. 300,000 "free" rides by our executive branch to people who "tell us" who they are--most days without any form of corroborating identification.

Which would be bad enough, until we learned from the stories coming out of the border that the Islamic State (formerly ISIS, an Al Qaeda faction) has made direct contact with Mexican drug cartels, and then pledged publicly to exploit our southern border. (Come to think of it, I'm pretty certain al-Baghdaddi wasn't talking about taking a tour when he told his former captors in Iraq that he would "see them in New York.")
So... to review we've got Al Qaeda ready to penetrate our southern border (if they haven't already). They're intent on killing us. And we may be giving them rides to anywhere in the lower 48 states.
Then came the information from the National Border Patrol Council, documenting that the same Transportation and Security Administration (TSA) that feels you up, or looks at you on naked machines at airports has been ordered to allow these aliens to fly on commercial jet-liners (no doubt at partial tax-payer expense) with nothing more than their "Notice to Appear" paper from their initial hearing when they arrive in the USA. And as long as they have these easily forged papers TSA can not ask them any further questions about identity. They are then using that form of identification to fly anywhere they wish in the country.
This loosely enforced "security" could put active members of Al Qaeda or any number of other Muslim Brotherhood groups into the heart of New York, DC, or other prime target rich environments. Almost over night, and almost undetected to the good people of America.

The President isn't stopping the border crossings where nearly 100 for every 4000 that are coming across (and that's the per day average) turn out to be people of middle eastern origins. The President isn't requiring the illegal visitors to face the law and it's Biblically acceptable enforcement. In some cases the crossers are making their initial appearances by SKYPE to a desk operation four states over. The President has instructed the border patrol to play nice and not get into confrontational situations. The President has ordered more than a quarter of a million personal rides to those who wish to meet up with relatives, friend's, and just people that they know. And the President has not reversed the silly edict allowing anyone in the USA to fly without an ID.
In other words he's acting as though he firmly doubts that America is being readied for another major-bigger-than-the-previous-record-setting terror attack.
But beyond that he's actively doing as much as possible to get us as close to that possible reality.
Well he then must believe that Al Qaeda is less of a threat now than it has been in the past. He must believe that there is nothing of significance happening in the Middle East. And his 72% approval rating amongst the world's muslim population must be because they believe "hope and change" are coming.

For if he believed that a caliphate being established was a dangerous thing, if he believed that evil people exist and are seeking our demise as we read this, and if he believed that these border policies are providing enormous holes in our security for the bad people to do what they want to do...
Then surely he'd ignore his pro-Muslim-brotherhood advisers and do what was best for the welfare of the people he swore an oath to protect.
Right?
