Alan Dershowitz: France had it coming, but for a different reason
From NewsMax.com:
Alan Dershowitz: France Reaped What It Sowed in Paris Attack
by Sean Piccolo
While France is reeling from the terrorist massacre of 12 people at the Paris offices of a satirical magazine, the country is also “one of the worst … when it comes to rewarding terrorism,” lawyer and author Alan Dershowitz told “MidPoint” host Ed Berliner on Newsmax TV Wednesday.
“They play with everybody. They reward every terrorist,” Dershowitz said of the French.
“They’ve never been part of the international campaign against terrorism. They are part of the problem, not part of the solution.”
An interesting take, one I’d not anticipated, and certainly not from Dershowitz.
“I hate to pile on when they’re suffering like this, but you have to understand how bad France has been historically in the war against terrorism,” he said.
Dershowitz said that the attack should come as no surprise, given Europe’s history of tolerating Islamic terrorism.
“When the Israeli athletes were murdered in Munich [in 1972], most European countries freed them when they came to their country,” said Dershowitz. “Germany let them go, and most European countries have freed terrorists. It shouldn’t surprise anybody. In Europe, they’ve never fought terror.”
Sadly, Mr Dershowitz makes his point — not unlike the US situation involving the World Trade Center, 1993 and 2001.

Did Obama get his wish?
Do you remember when, on September 25th of 2012, Mr Obama addressed the United Nations General Assembly two weeks after Muslim terrorists killed US Ambassador Christopher Stevens — attempting to create the impression that the assault on the Benghazi Consulate was the result of one incredibly-lame and poorly-produced video found on YouTube?
And do you recall what Mr Obama pronounced? He said: “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
Would Mr Obama have said “the future must not belong to those who slander Kim Jong Un?” — who, recently, unleashed a cyber attack on Sony because he was unimpressed with a feature film produced here in the US.
This was not Mr Obama speaking out in defense of free speech. This was Mr Obama’s White House, like Howard Dean, refusing to acknowledge these killings for what they are: Islamic terror.
Apparently “Islamic terror” is the Lord Voldemort of phrases in the Obama regime.
And this from the president who is systematically releasing terrorist leaders from Guantanamo so that they may return to their so-called “religion of peace” in the fields of jihad against the West.

Leftists pushing more gun control: when gun crime is still plunging and more Americans oppose gun control
Once again, placing the logic, common sense, proportion and rationality of Leftists into question.
Despite the bedwetting hysteria of Leftists over cops and black male shootings.
From FoxNews.com:
Why most Americans oppose more gun control
by Dr John R Lott, Jr
A new Pew Research Center survey finds that, for the first time in their surveys, the majority of Americans oppose more gun control. Gallup and CNN polls tell a similar story. Opposition to gun control has been increasing over at least the last couple of decades.
Gun control groups have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to try to convince Americans that gun control is the answer. In 2013, gun owners’ groups — including the NRA — spent less than one seventh as much on television advertisements. This year looks to be even more lopsided, thanks to the unrelenting efforts of individuals such as Michael Bloomberg, George Soros and Gabriel Giffords.
Perceptions have changed dramatically, with most people now believing the “More Guns, Less Crime” hypothesis. Gallup recently asked Americans if they thought residents are safer with a gun in the home. People answered “Yes” by a margin of 63 to 30 percent. In 2000, Americans gave just the opposite answer by a margin of 51 to 35 percent. In 2013,[3] Sixty percent of gun owners listed “Personal Safety/Protection” as the reason for owning a gun.
Academic research aligns with current public opinion. If you have a gun in the home, that gun is far more likely to prevent murder than it is to be used in an accidental shooting or to kill a loved one.
Facts in evidence.
Shame.
