PC Response to Terror Is Reviving Democrats’ Weak 1980s Image
National Review ^ | December 6, 2015 | John Fund

Posted on 12/07/2015 2:41:15 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

"....President Obama's speech tonight will be an attempt to lower the level of fear the country is feeling, and he will also aim to convince people that he has the issue in hand. But more and more Democrats are anxious that a tone-deaf White House is pushing the party back to the days of the late 1970s and 1980s, when Democratic candidates from Jimmy Carter to Walter Mondale to Michael Dukakis were viewed as insufficiently responsive to foreign-policy threats. The party paid a price for that, and Democrats worry that they now look out-of-touch and uncertain in foreign policy. To the extent that continues, the Democratic party could pay a steep price at the polls next year.

The voters aren't buying it.

I do not always agree with Mr Fund but I believe he is right about this.

As Rush used to say - [paraphrasing] “It’s too dangerous to let the Democratic Party near the levers of power.”

AND BEST YET:

Bless her cold, angry, hateful heart, Hillary Rodham Clinton completely agrees with Barack Hussein Obama!

Trump already looks more Presidential than Obama to most Americans.

Keep ignoring the Islamic terrorism Hillary, it will be such fun to watch you and your Democratic co-idiots go down to defeat, screeching all the way.

Good morning, dear.

What do they call it? Whistling past the graveyard?

Indeed. Flying the Gadsden Flag just below the Stars and Stripes for the past few years on the flagpole in my front yard, gives those who are awakening notice that i have been awake for a long time. They are now coming to me to ask questions.

All one needs to look to is the elections held in France over the weekend. The twofer is that the media is sliding down the same hole of irrelevance.

Radical Islam, moderate Islam, weakly moderate Islam, mushy Islam, squishy Islam, Oily Islam, rich Islam, poor Islam, take away the oil and all you have is Islam.

So the solution to radical Islam is to take away the oil. Have they shown they cannot be trusted with money?

Some rich guy should raise an army and go get it. I'd sooner fill my tank with oil from Putin as from Isis or Isil.

<<>> Very Valid...We are now in a position where we don't need middle east oil. Any nation that cannot be 100% intolerant to radical Islam should be boycotted.

Good thinking.

Boycott terrorism!

There should be a good bumper-sticker in there somewhere.

Image??? They ARE weak. Hillary is clueless, Sanders is playing for the other team, O’Malley is in it for the buffet. Webb is their only reasonable choice (relatively speaking) but he does not have a snowballs chance. Carter says he is cancer free; maybe he will jump in.

tone-deaf White House

This White House is not tone deaf, they just do not agree with America and are actively working to undermine everything America stands for and has worked for going against the US in support of islam.

Democrats are in bed with the terrorist and the democrat party does not want Americans to know how bad it is. They want Obama to put on a fake dog and pony show before more questions are asked because once Americans find out exactly how many muslims have been placed high up in the Obama government then take a good look at Hillary's staff they are going to figure out how bad the treason is the democrat party has given us.

“It’s “settled,” Islam is a religion of peace just as man-made disruptive climate change [AGW - Anthropogenic global warming] is settled science.

What we should be doing is declaring that Radical Islam is “Settled Science” and anyone who thinks differently is in denial. Possibly to a point where they need to go to prison.

We should play their game.

Good thinking!

Check this out:

Obama: Man of the World [March 2007]

......"I was a little Jakarta street kid," he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office... He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics - and more likely to be aware of their nationalism - if he once studied the Koran with them.

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."

Moreover, Mr. Obama's own grandfather in Kenya was a Muslim. Mr. Obama never met his grandfather and says he isn't sure if his grandfather's two wives were simultaneous or consecutive, or even if he was Sunni or Shiite. (O.K., maybe Mr. Obama should just give up on Alabama.) Our biggest mistake since World War II has been a lack of sensitivity to other people's nationalism, from Vietnam to Iraq. Perhaps as a result of his background, Mr. Obama has been unusually sensitive to such issues and to the need to project respect rather than arrogance. He has consistently shown great instincts. ..."

Democrats can’t elect much these days, a fact the lib loving media ignores. Their presidential candidates look like the Soviet politburo under Brezhnev.

They have a weak image because they are weak.
