Durbin’s hearings on Islam misguided
Several years ago, Sen. Dick Durbin, Democrat from Illinois, called my fellow members in the military worse than Stalin’s genocidal soldiers. That was an incredible insult to all of us in uniform. Recently, you may remember, he blamed former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for the shooting in Arizona. How bizarre can this get?
Well, the senator held a hearing to mitigate Rep. Peter King’s hearings about terrorism in the United States. Sen. Durbin cannot grasp the concept that we are engaged in a global conflict against Islamic radicalism. Placating the radicals will not soften their stance. These Islamic extremists want to destroy the United States and establish a caliphate, a world dictatorship.
