We talked about Jade Helm 15 the other day. Texas Governor Abbott asked the state guard to monitor the federal military exercises in Texas, and the liberal media goes bananas.
Obama loves to lay out leg traps for his political opponents, for example, there was the birth certificate trap that caught Donald Trump. So when a large military exercise has a map showing Texas, Utah, and Southern California -- all mostly politically conservative areas -- as hostile territories, one has to be suspicious of the motive. A coincidence? Well, how politically shrewd are Barack Obama's minions? Either that they didn't see a problem with it, or they saw the problem and decided to go ahead with it anyway.
Amy Davidson, in Unclear Dangers, tries to explain it this way:
The Jade Helm training exercises are drawn on a map of the Southwest not because it’s ground zero in an incipient civil war but because the landscape there is similar to that of battlefields that we have rushed and wandered into in recent years, in countries that do have “insurgent pockets.”
She must be talking about Iraq and Afghanistan. For her to say the landscape in Texas is similar to Iraq and Afghanistan suggests she has not seen much of Texas.
Meanwhile, lefties are now busy chastising Pamela Geller for daring to exercise her right of free speech. As Mark Steyn notes in Stay Quiet and You'll Be Okay, they're busy chipping away at our liberty without even knowing it.
Hat tip to PH Factor for the map.
