After Paris was attacked
the French president affirmed that they were NOT going to stop welcoming Syrian refugees. Meanwhile, on this side of the pond, the fearmongers(R) are calling on the US to lock it's doors and send troops to the MidEast, trying to engage a secretive enemy that hopes to terrorize through fear.
What explains the modern right’s propensity for panic? Part of it, no doubt, is the familiar point that many bullies are also cowards. But I think it’s also linked to the apocalyptic mind-set that has developed among Republicans during the Obama years, as they keep screaming 'the sky is falling', claiming a crashing economy, hyper-inflation, he's wrecking the military and he's taking our guns! None of it has happened, but this doesn't stop them, or even slow them down.
They keep doubling down, claiming America is in 'deep trouble' with it's economy and military, although we have the BEST in the world, in each area. No matter to FOX/PARP, who have to keep the sheep riled, which is SO easy to do, as they hype all of Obama's 'failures' without the facts to back them up. Nothing new here, but sickening just the same, as FOX/PARP pulls out all the stops, going for the low info/low IQ vote, in their attempt to return to 'the scene of the crime'. Remember 2008, after 8 years of Repub rule and a 22% approval rating? Wow, if only we return to the 'good ol' days, of GW'.
