While I.S.I.S. threatened to lop off some heads in Australia and has made no bones about wanting to do the same to Americans anywhere in the world, while their ultimate goal is the extinction of democracy and while they are raining terror upon the face of the Middle East, Americans are torn between sitting on their butts in front of the tube and watching it or getting off their butts and going to fight it.
Our Congress is pussy-footing around the whole I.S.I.S. thing, afraid to call them terrorists, afraid to call it war and afraid to fully commit to the extinction of them and their causes. We are content to trust the fate of the free world to "doctors, lawyers and pharmacists" and to the Iraqi army which has proven itself to be unreliable at best. We leave our borders wide open, steadfastly refusing to provide even a physical barrier to an I.S.I.S.invasion on American soil. Indeed, we are on the verge of bringing "displaced" Syrian Muslims here to live.
I suppose, if you rationalize it, you could say that not all Syrian Muslims believe in killing Christians and Jews, but you know damned well that this government is not going to discriminate when it starts bringing them here.
Our President is trying desperately to save the Democratic Party from oblivion in November and is therefore openly attempting to lull us all into a very false sense of security in order to play down the threat. This attitude from the White House is a definite parallel to the Benghazi coverup before the 2012 election: hide the truth from the American public at all costs.
And 35% to 45% of this country is buying into the President's program of complacency in the face of terrorism.
Shame on us. It's bad enough that we are running our country into economic chaos for decades to come; now, we even turn the backs of our nation on the stark threat of radical terrorism.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
