Bill O’Reilly Rallies Christian Soldiers....Declares That We Are Now In A 'Holy War' With ISIS



Bill O’Reilly stated definitively, multiple times tonight, that he believes the United States and the world are in a “holy war” against ISIS and the White House needs to accept that fact. He said, “This is now a so-called holy war between radical jihadists and everyone else, including peaceful Muslims.”

And O’Reilly again faulted President Obama for a lack of leadership in taking on the terror threat.
But O’Reilly was also shocked by the “frightening… nonsense” from State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf on how the U.S. can’t kill its way out of war with ISIS. (Harf has since responded to critics by saying her argument might be “too nuanced” for some.)

O’Reilly said Obama needs to “stop living in a theoretical, fictional world” and stop government spokespeople saying things that are “insulting and dangerous to the American people.”

He concluded by reiterating, “The holy war is here.”

I fully expect Billo to be right there on the front lines.

But he won't be, because he's a chickenhawk who would pull a Ted Nugent and shit his pants to avoid going in combat.

The earthlings never leave the trailer park so they don't know what is on the interstate.

The aliens on the interstate know the trailer park there and say, "You know let's not turn off there. The people are just too backward and annoying."

"Crusade" messages on rifles in Iraq, Army generals "retired" because they pushed religious overtones... Now that ISIL/DAESH have stressed the religious meme back, RW feels justified.

Now add the delusional "End Times" crowd who loves to fire up RW Israelites.

God, please save us from your followers!

W, Cheney, Rumsfeld (served but not in combat) and on and on and on.

Weird, one of the ONLY people in W admin who said to rethink the invasion was?


...


hint: military person who actually saw combat

In my dream hell there are categories of suffering:

5 (suffers the least) murderers/rapists
4 anyone who is still a republican at this point in time
3 network execs who decide which sitcoms belong on the air and which dont
2 terrorists who take the lives of innocents
1 chickenshit chickenhawks who advocate for your son/daughter to die in a war while making sure they or theirs never will

Should Obama stand in front of a cross while declaring war on ISIS? This statement by itself is a good point: “This is now a so-called holy war between radical jihadists and everyone else, including peaceful Muslims.”

I think they are at war with everyone, but really they are just bullies that need to be flattened. So does O'Reilly suggest the Christian world invade the ME? Any why is it Obama's responsibility to fight ISIS? If the Iranians, Jordanians, Egyptians are so concerned, they should deal with it.

Seriesly. It had been some time since he had self-convened one boycott after another, with mostly himself as the boycotter, but O'LOOFAH had as his panel this JEFFRESS dude who was spittling and sounding like Daffy Duck and a Catholic priest who sounded downright low key being able to couch his similar fiery message in dulcet tones having come a long way since St Bernard of Clairvaux.

I thought this JEFFRESS clown was a *new* "rough beast slouching to Bethlehem to be born" but Wiki reminded me of his piles of history in our past elections. And then I focused on finding graphics of all these whatses but they are great about guarding their images: St Bernard's portraits are all beaming; JEFFRESS' are all smiley. Hmm, maybe a "Daffy Duck" will be more suggestive of the reality.

Anyway, O'LOOFAH framed himself with the Catholic priest during that segment, all dulcet while he was demanding that all priests, ministers, and rabbis speak the word of Crusade this weekend, be it Friday, Sabbath, Sunday or whatever, and that they all e-mail him with their results and he will read all the ones he can on the air. Uh, would that be something, like, a couple?!1

(born November 29, 1955) is the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, United States.[2] He hosts the program, Pathway to Victory, which is broadcast on more than 1,200 television stations and dozens of radio outlets as well. ....

Jeffress supported Governor Rick Perry in the Republican presidential primaries for the 2012 presidential nomination.[18] On October 7, 2011, he provoked a national controversy when he introduced Perry at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., by indicating that one of Perry's rivals, former Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, is opposed to Christianity. According to Jeffress, Romney's Mormonism contradicts the teachings of Jesus Christ.[19] He had previously made a similar statement to this effect during the 2008 presidential primaries, when Romney lost the nomination to U.S. Senator John S. McCain of Arizona.[20] Nevertheless, in April 2012, Jeffress endorsed Romney for president because of the pastor's strong opposition to the reelection of U.S. President Barack Obama.[21]

This is what I said all along: the neocons want a huge war between the two big faiths.

(And anyone who knows any RW christians will know they were talking about the "New Crusades" at least 10 years ago).

"I'll tell you what. I've been in combat. I've seen it, I've been close to it... and if my unit is in danger, and I've got a captured guy, and the guy knows where the enemy is, and I'm looking him in the eye, the guy better tell me. That's all I'm gonna tell you. The guy better tell me. If it's life or death, he's going first."
