The fear mongering has subsided with the November 4 elections? Ebola, Terror attacks on U.S. soil, ISIS, amnesty, the border and a host of other fear related issues promoted by the republican party and the conservative news media. Fear is part of their ideology to mask their unAmerican form of governing.
Iraq, Saddam and their WMD that did not exist was used as a fear tactic to go to war there when it was not necessary. (which the war proved) But it was not Iraq, Saddam or WMD that took the lives of the majority of the 4400 plus U.S. troops who served their country's call. Now it is republicans McCain and Graham who are using the ISIS fear to try and move President Obama to send combat troops to Iraq once again to fight a ground war against ISIS.
No parents in America wants to see their children raised in fear of the known or the unknown and they should not be exposed to the fear propaganda of the republican party and the conservative news media. No matter what the subject matter, democratic leaders have the character and courage to stand up and be counted when it comes to protecting the country and its people when our way of life is threatened with out resorting to fear.
President Obama has measured up and answered the call to both the external and internal threat of fear that is used by those who want to see the President fail. America and its people have been safe on his watch and we should take to heart what a great past democratic President said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."
