Brain Dead and Lost

     Why must we continue to write about tragedy as it pertains to terrorist attacks?  It is 2016. We have been fighting ISIS for years,...at least that is what we have been told, so why are we still witnessing brutal murders claimed by this group?  Why is it that the general public is being told that ISIS is losing ground, however, we watch reports on the news contradicting Obama's statements?
     Yes, I know the MSM (main stream media) will try to sensationalize events, they have to get ratings.  I know that we should question everything, but there are more families today who have lost a family member because our leaders are not taking the threat by ISIS seriously. 
     Do they WANT us to die at the hands of terrorists to forward their agenda?  No, I will not go to that extreme.   Do I think they are taking advantage of these attacks to take away more of our freedoms?  Yes, yes I do.
     It makes me wonder what is going on to continue this ripe environment for terrorist groups?  We're being told they are falling back, but these attacks sing a different song.  We are at war with a group of people who are easily able to recruit and enslave.  We are at war with a group that has an easier time acquiring money than the Clinton Foundation.  ISIS can be at this moment in our back yards and we would not know, because most are lying in wait because our government and the world wants to be blinded by the threat. 
     We read stories about the cruelty of ISIS but if we question their motives, we're labeled as misguided, racist, xenophobic, or uneducated.  We have leaders worldwide who are in a never ending battle to show other nation's who can be the most compassionate with open borders for refuges.  Meanwhile their own countrymen are being asked to shoulder a heavier burden to a grouping of people who are more than likely NOT refugees from war torn nations.  Merkel sure as hell has a lot of explaining to do, just as Obama's administration, and the world around does.  (With the Brexit I suspect most of the EU nations are upset that their own country will have to shoulder more of the "open border" problems now that Britain said no more.)
     If Loretta Lynch and Obama has their way, we will continue the same path in regards to "fighting" ISIS.  In their minds ISIS is just a misunderstood moody teenager, that needs love and affection to stop their wicked ways.  Just imagine if physicians thought the same about cancer.  Instead of treating it aggressively, we shift to herbal teas and campfire songs.  It is this way of thinking that prompts me to also think that they view cancer as misdiagnosed severe cold.
     The only way we are going to beat this threat is to put up an aggressive plan, which does not include hugs and kisses.  The tactics that world leaders have been using to this point have not worked, so why do we trust them to create a plan of attack that would do anything more than what is being done now? 
     The world leader's are creating safe spaces world wide for the cancerous cells of ISIS to flourish because they have no idea what they are doing.  War isn't always the answer for sure, but in this case if we don't demand stronger leadership, we can witness our way of life flowing down the drain.
     The time for action is here. It's time to stop hiding from our enemy.  Stop wishing them away.  Don't let those lives lost to terrorist attacks mean nothing because our leadership is too brain dead to know what to do.
