TERRORISM: Call it by its name

Recently I was listening to commentary about the shooting deaths of military recruiters by a mid-eastern suspect. This assault occurred from outside a Marine Corps Recruiting Office. The suspect, thankfully, was killed by police. The bullet holes were about as big as my fist and these men were slain in a GUN FREE ZONE.

One of the questions posed during this discussion was — why doesn’t our President refer to these incidents as terrorism and having been committed by “the enemy”? Those involved in this discussion pussy-footed around this question and couldn’t/wouldn’t get the whatever to just say it — this President has proved over the past eight years that he IS the enemy.
