Understanding the Muslim Brotherhood



["We the People"] have 435 representatives serving in the House and another hundred in the Senate.

Of these 535, a total of 288 are Republicans — 241 and 47 in the lower and upper chambers, respectively.

Of these, only five House conservatives — five — have had the fortitude to raise concerns about the Islamist connections of government officials entrusted with positions enabling them to shape U.S. policy.

Sound like the opening of a straight to video spy thriller?

Maybe...

But I advise you to read McCarthy's three page article.

Feel free to google "Andrew C. McCarthy." Check out his bona fides.

Indeed, do your own fact-checking into his reporting here.

(*SHRUG*)

Listen... folks... I'm "hot and cold" on McCarthy myself! I'm not advising anyone to simply "accept" McCarthy's analysis as gospel.

The thing is...

(*PAUSE*)

He's not lying. He's not "making stuff up."

The "facts" he uses to make his "case" are indeed facts.

(*SHRUG*)

Is he going overboard, though... using the facts to buttress a pre-determined conclusion; or, is he simply using the facts to buttress a hypothesis that the facts support?

Here's the thing, folks: unless one really delves into the type of expert analysis the Pentagon, State Department, Intelligence Community, and our nation's top Ph.d programs traffic in, McCarthy's charge that this "discussion" is basically not "allowed" to take place in public is absolutely valid!

If in reading the three page McCarthy piece I've provided the link to you find yourself "kinda" remembering "something or another" about the cases he cites without recalling many specifics... well... that in and of itself should provide food for thought.
