A "Powerful Rebuke" :: SteynOnline

by Mark Steyn  • 

On Wednesday, 14 Americans were shot dead and another 17 injured at a Christmas party in San Bernadino. The temptation to retreat instantly to one's tropes is very powerful - and Sam Stein, who is "Senior Politics Editor" of The Huffington Post, surrendered in a nano-second:
Planned Parenthood is about 1.3 miles from site of
shooting. CNN, however, is reporting that the shooting didn't take place
there.
In fact, the slaughter appears to be the work of one Syed Farook, a US-born county employee described by his father as a "devout Muslim", assisted by a woman who may or may not be a wife or girlfriend. They had body armor and sophisticated weaponry. One male is dead, as is a
female, Tashfeen Malik - apparently one of those harmless Muslim "women and children" the President was sneering at scaredypants Republicans for being such bedwetters about.

Responding to the carnage in Paris, Barack Obama said that the most "powerful rebuke" you could send to the terrorists was to go ahead and hold the big climate conference as scheduled and show the killers that the world would not be deflected from talking about sea levels in the Maldives in the 22nd century. The President spoke at the conference yesterday. Today can be seen as a "powerful rebuke" to the fatuities of Obama.
