John Kerry - our clueless Secretary of State

| No Comments

I am really looking forward to getting some adults in the room this November. From Town Hall:

John Kerry: You Media People Should Stop Reporting on Terrorism So People Don't Know What's Going On
Speaking from Bangladesh Tuesday morning, Secretary of State John Kerry suggested members of the media stop covering (Islamic) terrorism so people won't "know what's going on." Kerry attempted to preempt his statement by implying media coverage creates copy cats and promotes more terrorism. 

This is bullshit. What Kerry is really concerned with is that people will actually ask that he do his job and protect American interests in the world. Not see how much he can kowtow to foreign leaders. We may have copycat murders with lone gunman public shootings but this is mental illness and not Muzzie terror and the two have never been conflated.

The author - Katie Pavlich - continues:

While the copy cat, attention seeker argument may be true in a handful of cases, the media ignoring terrorism as the Obama administration has arguably chosen to do for nearly a decade, isn't going to make terrorism go away.

For example, the administration downplayed the ISIS threat by claiming they were "jayvee" and demanded intelligence reports be altered to paint a better picture of the increasingly dangerous situation around the world and in the United States. And who could forget the Justice Department changing Allah to "God" and censoring pledges to ISIS with "[omitted]" in the transcripts of the Orlando terrorist's 911 call?

This new push by Kerry shouldn't be surprising, after all it was just a few weeks ago when Kerry essentially argued the use of air conditioners and other appliances are bigger threats to the world than ISIS.

Here's the reality: Kerry doesn't want the press giving attention to the issue of terrorism because it further exposes the failure of the Obama administration's foreign policy over the past eight years. Terrorism doesn't go away if you simply ignore it but instead, expands.

The guy is impotent in the purest definition of the word:

adjective

    1. not potent; lacking power or ability.
    2. utterly unable (to do something).
    3. without force or effectiveness.

Like I said, impotent - a moron appointed to a position of power by another moron who did not want to be outshone.
