I think my assertions are pretty spot on. When the GOP says that the only refugees they will help are the Christians refugees, they most definitely are acting like bigots. Disappointing that this attitude gets support, but it does. But I'll admit that the GOP's hatred of Muslims is working. Well done, guys. This angle is paying off.
When you say that no Muslim should be President, I think you've earned your racism badge.
I hate to break it to you, but the entire world underestimated ISIS. If they hadn't, some other country would have taken them out before they even got their footing. The idea that the rise of ISIS was foreseeable isn't supported by much evidence.
You really make me wish I had a brick wall to hit my head against. I seriously don't know if you are auditioning to be a writer for a comic, you're completely delusional, or you really believe stuff like this. I know hack party leaders need to say crap like this on both sides, but someone simply doing this from their couch is really mind boggling.
Please supply proof of the military warning Obama about ISIS before they became such a headache.
Hence the term, "much." Were there some warning about ISIS? Yes. But were these warnings credible enough to do anything about? It doesn't appear so.
Truth hurts, doesn't it? You're lying to yourself if you don't want to admit to how the right has responded to this crisis.
His assertions are not exaggerated. As usual, he is simply wrong. Democrats are not concerned about national security if something will help them politically. In this case they are wrong about that but to them that's what everything is about. In addition they love to preen about their assumed superiority. There is a little of that here also
Actually you have this entirely backwards. The right has shrugged it off by telling the victims that they won't do anything to help. The left is trying to make them refugees.
So far I've seen just a handful of people making the warnings. This doesn't proof a credible threat. Again, if it was so foreseeable, then how did the rest of the world miss it too? Are you telling me that all of Europe and the Middle East had completely different intelligence than the US?
And now you've entered the land of hyperbole. Quite the ironic statement too considering that it's your side trying to eradicate a certain culture from our lands.
We completely agree about lack of credible evidence.
And this is why I say it wasn't foreseeable. If these advisors knew that ISIS was going to become this powerful, they wouldn't have made a general warning once or twice and left it at that. They would have made it their career mission to ring the bells over and over and over until they were either listened to, or fired. If you know with a high degree of certainty that a terrorist organization will rise and start devastating the entire world, then you simply don't stop at one meeting and say, "Hey, I did my part."
Pretty sad that you have to use generalized hyperbole to excuse the poor statements of at least two GOP candidates.
