We should be afraid of ISIS VERY afraid so why doesn't our president seem to take them seriously and do something more than talk about inbetween his golf games on Marthas Vineyard?
ISIS has more money, more resources, more radical followers and pose more of a threat than Alqueda ever could manage.
What is scary is the supposed British guy that beheaded the journalist could do such an act in the name of a terrorist group. I can't help but wonder how many disillusioned Americans have gone over to meet and train with ISIS and with US passports in hand can easily travel back here with evil intent to do damage. How about a member of any terrorist group walking across our "border" with a dirty bomb or to meet friends on this side who are more than happy to supply them with guns and bombs to go destroy as much of America as possible.
I fear it is only a matter of time before we have another September 11 2001.
ISIS is gearing up for all out war the likes of which we haven't seen since Hitler stormed across Europe committing war crimes at every turn and what are we doing?

Default We should be afraid of ISIS

It's OK to be afraid.

But all the emotionally charged media hype that keeps so many folks glued to their boob tubes just doesn't scare all of us.

First of all, ISIS is waaaay over there, calm down. Second, the president ordered airstrikes so yeah, he is addressing the situation. What do you want him to do, personally fly a fighter jet over there & drop a couple big boys? If he did that you'd be crying about taxpayers money.

Too little, too late. Plus, he's on the dang golf course most of the time, instead of the situation room.

Worst. President. Ever.

Really? Waaaaaayyyyyy over there. I could see your point if they had to sail ships to get here, but this is the air age of travel.
And with many of them bringing in people from the UK, only a matter of time before they are here in great numbers.

The fact is the extremists are coming over here, just ask the victims of the Boston bombing. There is a mosque not far from me that is pushing hate and several members have been connected to 9/11. We shouldn't be allowing radical Muslims to immigrate here.

This is delusional thinking. They are here and more will be coming...over the open southern borders. Remember, we welcome everyone! When are people going to wake up?

Realizing there is a threat and enjoying life otherwise is not mutually exclusive.
Now, ignoring the threat and doing nothing about it is just plain stupid.
