Ghost of White House Past: The Presidents New NSC Advisor agrees with President Obama on at least one thing.


Even as the President was vowing at the CPAC conference yesterday to get rid of Radical Islamic Terrorism in the United States, news reports, like the link below from Fox News, highlighted that the Presidents new National Security Advisor, General H.R. McMaster, does not like using the phrase "Radical Islamic Terrorism" for the same reasons former President Obama did not use it: it is counterproductive and could strain relations with the nations we need to get rid of the real terrorist threat.

The use of the phrase is also hypercritical. We do not call the people who attack mosques or synagogues "Radical Christian Terrorists." We call them criminals, terrorists,  and lunatics and that is what the people who populate I.S.I.L. are. We should remember that.
