In these strange days of "Hope n' Change," there are no acts of terror...simply "man caused disasters." And so it is that Obama's top counterterror adviser, John Brennan, is now giving Americans a lesson in grammatical etiquette to avoid giving terrorists "man caused hurt feelings."
In a recent speech, Brennan declared that America's enemies are neither "terrorism" nor "terror," and that the (ahem) violent extremists who occasionally do things like blow the living hell out of the World Trade Center are actually the victims... "of political, economic, and social forces."
But not religious forces or dogma. NooOOoooo.
Because, gosh darn it, there's nothing wrong with "jihad" and nothing wrong with "jihadists" - because jihad is "a legitimate tenet of Islam" and is, Allah be praised, "a holy struggle."
So remember when it comes to radical Islamic terrorists, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
Just like the Obama administration.

In response to the tremendous support voters across the nation have voiced for the Arizona immigration bill, and after the embarrassments of top administration officials refusing to either read or enforce the law, Barack Obama has now ordered 1200 National Guard troops to the U.S./Mexican border. And what happens next should be very interesting...
After all, the president has repeatedly said that any "visitors" backpacking across the desert shouldn't have to prove their citizenship. He's additionally made it clear that no one can be stopped based on the fact that they "look Mexican." And no part of the law can be enforced in such a way that there's even the "potential for abuse."
All of which makes us wonder...once the troops arrive at the border under Obama's direction, in which direction will they be pointing their guns?UPDATE: The State Department has issued an official clarification that the 1200 National Guard troops will have nothing whatsoever to do with enforcement of immigration laws, and will do nothing to impede illegal aliens. Presumably, then, the troops are being put in place because the Mexican drug cartels are "tired of just shooting at tin cans" with their automatic weapons when crossing the border.

Here at the editorial offices of Hope n' Change Cartoons, we start each day by looking at current news stories, heaving a deep sigh, and plucking the worst offenders out of the stack to turn into cartoons.
But some days, there's only one story...even though it hides behind many faces and details. No matter whether we're talking foreign policy, the economy, terror, ethnic hatred, lawlessness, socialism, or ecology. And that one story is that everything points not only to America in retreat, but that this appears to be the actual goal of every policy decision which has been made by the president since entering office.
Our enemies are ascendant, our allies are alienated. Our debts have quadrupled while capitalism - this country's only source of revenue - suffers unprecedented governmental attacks. Government metastasizes while unemployment soars. Our borders have fallen, and the intelligence agencies which dare not say "islamic radicalism" aloud warn instead of the dangers posed by ordinary citizens who ask that our Constitution be honored.
A seeming lifetime ago, Democrats insisted that we "connect the dots" to get a clear picture of our nation's enemies and to try and forestall disaster. And we agree with them.
There's no better way to get a clear picture of Barack Hussein Obama.
