Loretta Lynch, President Obama and A Surfer

The title of this post, "Loretta Lynch, President Obama and a Surfer" is the answer to a riddle.  The question is "Name three people who are always looking for waves."  For Lynch and Obama, the wave for which they search is the backlash afflicting the Moslem community after the terror attack in San Bernardino (or any other reason attack by radical Islamic terrorists.)  While the attorney general and the president look for that backlash, they never seem to find it.  Oh, they denounce the backlash and lecture America against it, but there really does not seem to be a backlash.  There are no stories of Moslems being attacked across the country.  Indeed, other than the terror attacks by the radical Islamic terrorists, relations between ordinary Moslems and other Americans seem fine.  Nevertheless, every time there is a terror attack, Obama and his people as well as the liberal media make a point of explaining how Americans have to control their Islamophobia.  Organizations like CAIR (remember them, the unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land case involving fund raising for terror groups) also rush after a terror attack to decry the backlash against the Moslem community and to blame some of the terrorists' action on that backlash.  The problem, of course, is that as is the case when Obama looks for the backlash, there really is none.

Let's be clear.  There are Americans who today don't like Moslems.  There are also Americans who don't like police and others who don't like African Americans or Mexicans or whites or Jews or gays or Christians.  You pick a group and there are some people who don't like the members of that group.  Nevertheless, that dislike is not a backlash and it doesn't affect many people.

Just once, it would be nice if our leaders would worry more about the people who get killed in the terror attacks and less about an almost non-existent backlash.  Of course, that will never happen until Obama leaves office.
