What are real recruiting tools for ISIS?

There have been recent comments made by our president that the media is a recruiting tool for ISIS (the media should only be reporting the facts). There has also been commentary by those opposing conservative candidates that the rhetoric is a recruiting tool for ISIS (they merely elevate awareness and a call for action to a widening problem).

I would offer that a much more predominant recruiting tool for ISIS is deep within the fabric of America. Proliferation of drugs, excessive use of alcohol, pornography on the internet, sexual exploitation and violence on our TV screens and in our theaters (Hollywood has largely become a virtual garbage pit, not what it used to be!), countless hours on electronic war games that measure achievement in body counts, music that preaches hate and praises chaos (its proven that classical and soothing music has positive benefits for unborn and young children, and adults).

Disrespect and termination of life in late- and early-term abortions, breakdown of the family unit, corruption of those purposed to serve the public good and a growing pattern of selfishness.

I would venture that if the ills listed were to take a dramatic turn for the better, we would not have as many enemies like ISIS popping up like daises. The United States of America has so much to offer and we have proven that we can lead the way; it takes resolve and a commitment to a quality of life that I presume we all want for our future generations.
