I just listened to Hillary's speech about how

[Bread and Circus]

71. sad you think terrorism is a bigger threat than poverty and wealth inequality

To human life.

Yeah it is sad DSB that you like many others are buying the the terrorism script again.

You would think we would have collectively learned from what happened during the Bush years.

Yes 139 French people are dead due to sick and brutal digusting human beings but that is not the greatest threat to "us plebs".

Even if you add up all the deaths from foreign and domestic terrorism, including mass shootings and McVeigh style terrorism that have occured in this country ever it is nothing compared to the death toll that poverty and wealth inequality has racked up in a matter of the past year.

Terrorism, as a threat, pales in comparison to what really kills people in this country.

So no, I don't accept your notion that I am somehow callous to death. No I think I understand it and care about it more than you.

And no I am not going to fall for this "be afraid....vote for me so I can protect you act". I dont buy it and smart citizens shouldn't either.

Is terrorism a threat, yes. But the amount of fear and over reaction we spend on it is exactly what terrorists want. It is the whole goal of terrorism.

That doesn't mean we give in to barbarism but it does meam we take a measured approach, strike where and when we need to, and not allow ourselves to let our freedoms and good sense be driven asunder with demagoguery and fear mongering.

You can't beat terrorism because it is an ideology and a method. It is not a for that can sign a surrender docment.

Can we kill ISIS and cut the head of the snake? Yes, for now. But there will be another terrorist group when that one is destructed. Just like when we destroyed al qaeda.

The underlying sentiment, resentment, and will to oppose the West will remain.

It is an intergenerational fight and to be honest Mrs. Weathervane does not have the fortitude and consistency for that kind of fight.

As soon as fighting ISIS doesn't serve her politically she will be off chasing squirrels.
