Showing Original Post only (View all)Are you scared of ISIS? [View all]
With every beheading, the media goes nuts and tries to convince us that ISIS is going to kill us all.
Personally, I'm skeptical of the media-driven narrative that ISIS is a grave threat. I don't think they're much of a threat to America.
So, has the media convinced you yet? Are you scared of ISIS?
