ISIS' new name is DAESH, which means 'a group of bigots who impose their will on others':
The GOP needs to reinvent itself-a new name like "DAESH" seems perfect-it sums them up in 10 words.
Q: Is ISIS imposing their will on the rest of us?
A: 2/3 of all Arabs living in the U.S. are Christians; only 20% of all Muslims live in the Middle East: I have implicit trust in our immigration vetting processes and that our military can handle any foreign entity's attack. The only people attempting to impose their will on me and other Americans, as far as I can tell, are fear-mongering right-wing conservatives; tea partiers and off-the-rails evangelicals, who want to take away a woman's right to make her own healthcare decisions.
Who imposes their will will on "the rest of us"?
Lawmakers who want to defund Planned Parenthood, which provides potentially lifesaving mammogram screenings, pap smears and STD screenings for women and men; lawmakers who, instead of passing bills to help our veterans and 9/11 first responders and fix our rotting infrastructure, are wasting their time trying to repeal the ACA (which has been a lifesaver for me) yet again; who suppress voters' rights by closing DMV offices in primarily black counties; who gerrymander voting districts in favor of republicans; and, who put the "fix" in on voting machines, so that when a voter chooses a democrat, it switches to the republican candidate.
Who imposes their will will on "the rest of us"?
People who support fracking; the Koch Brothers; Dark Money, climate change deniers; people who set fires to churches because they don't understand the religion or like the color of believers' skin; the NRA; people who are members of the apparently still existent KKK and other hate-mongering racist groups; people who bomb abortion clinics, which aren't even affiliated with Planned Parenthood and don't even perform abortions; people who kill doctors who do perform abortions; the emotionally unstable who are clearly a danger to others, who rant about how we should either throw gays over cliffs or stone them to death; and, the "true believers" who use emotional terrorism in lieu of facts to whip up hysteria, much like they did to recruit the innocents who marched to their death in the 'Children’s' Crusade', which is exactly what these terrorists want: They want us to turn on each other-does the phrase 'united we stand. divided we fall' ring any bells?
At the same time that the politically divisive murderous beasts of ISIS/DAESHA and the heartbreaking Syrian refugee humanitarian crises are tearing this country apart, they are also attenuating America's position, not only in the arena of foreign policy , but in the arena of moral judgment , as a leader in the eyes of the world. Our current lawmakers in Congress either do not understand this-or they simply do not care. It is also painfully obvious that the vast majority of our Republican "leaders" and the hysterical haters in this country do not appear to understand the Constitution, nor have they ever read it; and, they don't care-their ideology supersedes all.
Who scares me?
They do!
