To be more specific, why is everyone wrapped around the axle over Daesh (ISIS)?
Recent polls show that not only are Republicans unhappy with Obama’s handling of Daesh (there’s a surprise!!), but so are Democrats. The extreme paranoia exhibited by American politicians, pundits, and terrorism “experts” is so overblown as to be ludicrous.
Our obsession with terrorism would be justified if Americans were dying in droves at the hands of Daesh, Al-Qaeda, and other international terrorist organizations. But we’re not. Gimme a break, people! Americans are safer today from outside threats than we have been in a long time, maybe ever. The Daesh threat to Americans is miniscule, and the data prove it.
We can predict the most likely ways Americans are going to die in the future, based on the ways Americans have died in the past. There are actual facts and statistics out there that identify the most lethal threats to Americans’ health and well-being. And Daesh isn’t even on the radar.
fear mongering by republicans and right wing zealots is what fuels the bogeyman just over your shoulder phobia. it is deliberate and successful homegrown's were a gift to them in the form of their proof of impending doom and gloom all to promote war and profit.
can you remember any period republicans weren't promoting war, they spend money in the military but leave vets and troops short not to mention poor and homeless they want to make others afraid of us but it only incites them into beefing up their military too and it becomes a nuclear world with every crazies finger inches away from the proverbial red button becomes the global paranoia.
