I successfully drove home yesterday and I did not get attacked by ISIS.
I was not beheaded nor was anyone I know or love forced to embrace Islam or were a burka. I saw the stars and stripes proudly waving on flag poles. I also did not get a sense that ISIS was just moment’s way from “taking over the U.S.”
ISIS of course is yet another one of a long line of “boogeymen” that have “threatened” the U.S.
Is ISIS a bad group? Yes.
Does ISIS need to be punished for their actions? Yes
Is ISIS a threat or will become a threat to the national security of the United States? National security to me means a threat to the sovereignty and stability of the nation.
NO!
Could some terrorist group or some wacko blow something up in America or kill people? Yes.
That was the case before ISIS, the case before Bin Laden, there have always been disgruntled groups or people who want to cause harm in the name of some twisted ideology or belief.
I roll my eyes in the back of my head when I hear all these politicians and talking heads rant about how ISIS is going to attack America and we are all doomed unless we stop them.
We have all heard that crap before, I have been hearing it all my life growing up in the cold war and beyond.
“They are going to take over without firing a shot!”
