As if the State Department’s brainstorm to defeat ISIS with a jobs program for would-be jihadis was not funny enough, now they’ve put together a web site to crowdsource “solutions” to the “problem” of Generic Violent Extremism — not the problem most of us are worried about, but the one they feel comfortable talking about.

I wonder what it’s like to be incapable of embarrassment.

I thought they told us they were all super brilliant wunderkinds who already had all the answers.
So they are admitting that they don’t have all the answers?
Lol.

"The solution to violent extremism begins in your community".

They are trying to equate ISIS with pro-life Christians.

The State Dept represents TERRORISTS, mainly Islamic,
and not the American people.

Remember Benghazi.

Remember 911.

They think that they have finally found a way to shut us up that falls short of jailing or offing us. They are spinning this on CNN and I am sure it is being spun on the other progg stations. Before the end of the year we will be the ultimate enemy. Although they’re politics were wrong I can see how the 60’s 70’s love & peace hippies felt that they were targets.

How quickly was the response “Relieve the Current Administration” tweeted?

Will all this change with a GOP administration or will it remain business as usual?

this has the effect of making it clear this administration has no idea what to do about violent “extremism,” particularly the version of it they refuse to identify by name.

And now they have hit on the perfect phony straw-man by declaring the struggle against "Generic Violent Extremism."

It can fit any enemy du jour, needs no further justification, has no parameters, does not need any clarification and fits any alleged profile.

In effect they have invented the ultimate "fear itself," the fear of... fear.

Doubleplusungood!
