Don't get distracted from real goal - stopping ISIS

Posted June 20, 2016 1:00 am

You have to ask yourself, as Secretary of State John Kerry admits, ISIS is responsible for genocide against Christians in the Middle East. Why is the president trying to change the narrative that the Orlando massacre is why we have to ban guns instead of the real cause - ISIS-inspired terrorism?

ISIS has tentacles that reach around the globe and they inspire hate and pledge jihad against the Western way of life. As we have seen ISIS-inspired attacks around the world and are now seeing more attacks on the homeland, it's time for America to get its head out of the sand and stamp out ISIS and the ugly hate they inspire.

Tell the president and Hillary don't change the subject just because it doesn't fit their narrative. It's time to destroy ISIS and the terrorism and the hate they inspire.
