Bombers motivated by religion. Really?

Rand Paul: Obama Did Away With NSEERS Program That Scrutinized Immigrants from 25 Islamic Countries (Video)

...
Rand Paul was on Happening Now this morning and remarked on Obama's previous moves to make America less secure. Obama did away with the NSEERS program. It was offensive and discriminatory.

Bush is back! The internet resounds.

"...The Washington Post asks Americans how they feel about President George W. Bush today, and the results may surprise his critics: “Days before his second term ended in 2009, Bush’s approval rating among all adults was 33 percent positive and 66 percent negative. The new poll found 47 percent saying they approve and 50 percent saying they disapprove. Among registered voters, his approval rating today is equal to President Obama’s, at 47 percent, according to the latest Post-ABC surveys. ...”

"...Why the shift? Aside from the “memories fade” point, many of his supposed failures are mild compared to the current president (e.g. spending, debt). Unlike Obama’s tenure, there was no successful attack on the homeland after 9/11. People do remember the big stuff — rallying the country after the Twin Towers attack, 7 1/2 years of job growth and prosperity, millions of people saved from AIDS in Africa, a good faith try for immigration reform, education reform and a clear moral compass...."

"...
Bush’s note, a simple gesture, spoke volumes about his respect for the office of the presidency. He did not thank us for respecting him. He knew it wasn’t about George W. Bush. He was touched instead by the small measure of respect we showed “for our country.”
The same sense of dignity compelled Bush to forbid his staff to wear blue jeans in the White House. Male aides were required to wear jackets and ties in the Oval Office.
He was a stickler for punctuality. Long-time adviser Karen Hughes asked him years ago why he was always early for appointments. “Late is rude,” Bush replied. He thought that if people were going to take the time to see him, he shouldn’t keep them waiting...."

"... Remember those iconic billboards that went up during the great ObamaCare legislative con? A smiling Bush waving with the caption, "Miss Me Yet?" Well, apparently more people do. ABC News and the Washington Post came out early this morning with a new poll timed to the library dedication.
When Bush left office after eight tumultuous years, including 9/11 and the Iraq War, 66% of adult Americans disapproved of him, twice as many as approved. The new findings: His disapproval has dropped to just half, while his approval has increased to almost half (47%). ..."

"... The fact that we have not suffered such an attack in nearly eleven and a half years reflects the skill of our counterintelligence agencies, the FBI, and the brave men and women who are on the front lines of keeping their fellow Americans safe.
But it reflects, too, the policies put in place by the administration of President George W. Bush, whose presidential library opens this week in Dallas, Texas. These policies include establishing the director of National Intelligence, National Counterterrorism Center, and the Department of Homeland Security, and expanding the FBI’s mission from just investigating terrorist attacks to preventing them....

Comment:
And many more.  Obama cannot do as well in defending the country and making it prosper; because, he is hamstringed by his commitment to defend and promote Islam, the Socialist ideology and the abortion industry.  His very identity that is shrouded with fraud, his involvement with shadowy persons and events e.g. Fast & Furious, Benghazi, Sandy Hook & Boston has left him bereft of any moral authority and sliver of trust.  W did not have that baggage.

Beck provides congressional sources & papers to MSM about Saudi link to Boston bombing.

Glenn Beck says the media's refusal to report The Blaze report that a Saudi national might be deported in connection to Boston bombing is criminal.

Syrain rebels kidnap 2 Christian bishops

http://weaselzippers.us/2013/04/22/syrian-rebels-kidnap-two-christian-bishops/

(Reuters) – Two prominent Syrian bishops, who had warned of the threat to religious tolerance and diversity from the two-year conflict in their country, were kidnapped on Monday by armed rebels in the northern province of Aleppo, state media said.
SANA news agency said the Syriac Orthodox and Greek Orthodox Archbishops of Aleppo, Yohanna Ibrahim and Paul Yazigi, were seized by “a terrorist group” in the village of Kfar Dael as they were “carrying out humanitarian work”.
A Syriac member of the opposition Syrian National Coalition, Abdulahad Steifo, said the men had been kidnapped on the road to Aleppo from the rebel-held Bab al Hawa crossing with Turkey.
Christians make up less than 10 percent of the country’s 23 million people and, like other religious minorities, many have been wary of the mainly Sunni Muslim uprising against Assad, whose Alawite sect is an offshoot of Shi’ite Islam.

The Boston bombers were Muslim: SO? (What difference does it make?)

..Chris Matthews On Bombers: "What Difference Does It Make Why They Did It?"  MSNBC's Chris Matthews is not that interested in finding out a motive for last week's bombing of the Boston Marathon, but instead focused on prosecuting Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old ethnic Chechen who was apprehended by authorities on Saturday.
