The recent assault on the National Security Five is only the most recent example of the fear our elites have about discussing and understanding radical Islamists.
When an orchestrated assault is launched on the right to ask questions in an effort to stop members of Congress from even inquiring about a topic — you know the fix is in.
The intensity of the attack on Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) as well as Republican Reps. Trent Franks of Arizona, Louie Gohmert of Texas, Tom Rooney of Florida and Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia is a reminder of how desperate our elites are to avoid this discussion. Yet consider this rush to silence questions in light of our history of unpleasant surprises during the Cold War.
Given all the painful things we learn about people every day and the surprises that shock even the experts (the head of the FBI anti-spy effort was a Russian spy, for example), you have to wonder why people would aggressively assert we shouldn’t ask about national security concerns.
Remember the shock in 2001 when we learned that FBI agent Robert Hanssen had been spying for 22 years — first for the Soviet Union and then the Russian Federation. This disaster came just seven years after the 1994 arrest of Aldrich Ames, a CIA counterintelligence officer who was a Soviet spy for eight years.
Why should we assume we’re in better shape today, when political correctness is passionately opposed to tough counterintelligence screening? It’s as though our leaders have forgotten every lesson of the 1930s about fascism, Nazism and communism and every lesson from 1945 to 1991 about communism.
We have replaced tough mindedness about national security with a refusal to think seriously and substituted political correctness and a “solid” assurance that people must be OK because they are “nice” and “hard working” for the systematic, intense investigations of the past.
I’m not suggesting that our primary threat is espionage. Our greatest problem is getting the wrong analysis, advice and policy proposals. It is the bias of the advisers and the disastrous policies they propose that are our gravest danger at this stage of the long struggle with radical Islamists.
Our elites refuse to even consider that the advice they are getting is biased, tainted, distorted — or just plain wrong.
The underlying driving force behind this desperate desire to stop unpleasant questions is the elite’s fear that an honest discussion of radical Islamism will spin out of control. They fear if Americans fully understood how serious radical Islamists are, they would demand a more confrontational strategy.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair warned last week, “The West is asleep on this issue.” Islamist extremists, Blair asserted in an interview with The Telegraph, seek “supremacy, not coexistence.”
A young John F. Kennedy wrote “Why England Slept” to try to understand how the leadership of a nation could ignore, repress and reject warnings about Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany.
A future JFK may write “Why Washington Slept” to explain our current period. The case of the National Security Five would be a good chapter on the desperation of the elites to avoid reality and their determination to smother any wake-up call, which might make them come to grips with Blair’s warning.

54 Members of Congress Accepted Money From Hamas Terrorists: Federal Judge Confirms CAIR Are Hamas Terrorists!
Posted by Volubrjotr ⋅ June 18, 2012⋅
Federal Judge Confirms CAIR ~ Are Hamas Terrorists.
In Case There are Any Doubts…
Hamas is a U.S. State Department-designated terrorist organization that professes to be a “Nation of Jihad”.
CAIR is a front organization of Hamas.
At least 54 Members of Congress are aiding, working with, taking money from and/or acting as a front for CAIR (i.e., Hamas, i.e., a U.S. State Department-designated terrorist organization).
The Palestine Authority has long been considered an entity supporting terrorism. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have given nearly $600 Million in taxpayer money to the Palestine Authority.
Barack Obama and his Administration have close ties with Islamic radicals, CAIR,terrorists and terrorist organizations and they have implemented an agenda that supports terrorism.

Please make note that after Newt came out against having Islam/Muslims in D.C., he was shoved aside for Romney.
Please make this note: Romney plans to have a “Charter School for Islam” paid by your tax $.
The major people who were running: Newt, Bachman, Palin, and West were all dismissed basically to allow a more “open” person to continue Muslims having access to D.C.
And, by the way, It is against the Logan Act for any candidate to receive $ from foreigners. or foreign countries…not that anyone pays attention to laws anymore!
Gingrich….the last and only true conservative standing.
Gingrich isn’t the only true conservative standing….there’s Sarah Palin, West, Bachmann…..
I keep praying for a brokered convention so that we may actually get a candidate who knows the score and will actually play some hard ball!
Great Minds Do Think Alike! LOL
I feel sure we will all have a big surprise!
He has my vote of confidence!
I find it funny that now Tony Blair says “The West is asleep on this issue.” Islamist extremists, Blair asserted in an interview with The Telegraph, seek “supremacy, not coexistence.”
Uh?….Where were you Mr. Blair when the muslims were infiltrating your country of England? What did you try to do to stop the building of madrassas or having Sharia Law or their own banking system? I don’t believe I have heard that you stopped immigration to muslims, or declared that only English Law would prevail in England!
So nice to hear you finally woke up but it’s just a bit too late wouldn’t ya’ say? Oh and BTW….Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada is not asleep at the wheel! He is actually doing something about muslims in Canada…it’s going to start getting really uncomfortable for them!
Australia deported them all on 3 different occasions. DO NOT ASK ME WHY IT TOOK 3 TIMES! It can be done!
3 Times??? I sometimes wonder if any of them actually use the grey matter God gave them….Deport all and close the door to muslims immigrating…end of story!
Let them live in their own hell holes they created!
I wondered the same thing. Why did they have to do it 3 times? Didn’t the first time prove to them it was worth it? Did they think they were suddenly healed! FROM THE INBREEDING!!?
