Tennessee Rep: Let ISIS Recruit College Students


In case you missed this one!
From The Tennessean:

Speaking on behalf of a bill centered around free speech, a Knoxville-based lawmaker on Wednesday said a terrorist organization should be allowed to recruit on college campuses in Tennessee.

While presenting a billed dubbed the “Tennessee Student Free Speech Protection Act,” Rep. Martin Daniel, R-Knoxville, fielded a question from Rep. John DeBerry Jr., D-Memphis, about whether he believed ISIS should be able to stand in the middle of university campuses and “recruit for ISIS.”

“Yes,” Daniel replied. “So long as it doesn’t disrupt the proceedings on that campus. Yes sir. They can recruit people for any other organization or any other cause. I think it’s just part of being exposed to differing viewpoints.”

From  Unfiltered Patriot:
Is there any limit to the idiocy of our elected representatives? Every day, you read something that makes you realize how much truth there is to Donald Trump’s assertion that our lawmakers have absolutely no idea what they’re doing. And it’s not just limited to Democrats, either. Look at Knoxville, Tennessee, where a Republican representative named Martin Daniel thinks that free speech should mean giving Islamic terrorists access to college students.
Defending his “Tennessee Student Free Speech Protection Act,” Daniel was asked if terrorists should be able to go to college campuses and “recruit for ISIS.”

“Yes,” Daniel said. “So long as it doesn’t disrupt the proceedings on that campus. Yes sir. They can recruit people for any other organization or any other cause. I think it’s just part of being exposed to differing viewpoints.”

Oh, right, right. Differing viewpoints. That’s what college is for. Come get your degree, dabble in some Chomsky, make a gay friend, and join ISIS. It’s all part of the experience, maaan.

Daniel was challenged by a Democrat, who said that this wasn’t about protests and free love. “There are young people who are not ready yet – they’re half-baked, half-cooked – who are recruited to work against their own parents, their own nation, and I would be concerned as a parent and as a citizen. Free speech is one thing; being stupid is another.”

Obama: Climate Change Greater Threat Than ISIS

Is Obama the destroyer, or is he in La La Land.
This sums up one(?) of his greatest flaws as a president. He has always blindly, (or deliberately) put his left wing ideology before everything. Even America’s national security comes second.
Agenda 21 alive, well, and barreling down the road of tyranny courtesy of BHO. Never mind the negative impact upon untold numbers of the residents that occupy planet earth--provided ISIS does not get them first.

“OBAMA: I’m more worried about climate change than ISIS,” by Rob Wile, Fusion, March 10, 2016:

In a new interview published in The Atlantic magazine, President Obama says he is more worried about climate change than the terrorist group ISIS.

“ISIS is not an existential threat to the United States,” he told Atlantic correspondent Jeffrey Goldberg. “Climate change is a potential existential threat to the entire world if we don’t do something about it.”

Climate change is particularly worrisome, Obama said, because “it is a political problem perfectly designed to repel government intervention. It involves every single country, and it is a comparatively slow-moving emergency, so there is always something seemingly more urgent on the agenda.”

And climate change is probably helping fuel groups like ISIS, he said.

“Right now, across the globe, you’re seeing places that are undergoing severe stress because of globalization, because of the collision of cultures brought about by the Internet and social media, because of scarcities—some of which will be attributable to climate change over the next several decades—because of population growth,” Obama said. “And in those places, the Middle East being Exhibit A, the default position for a lot of folks is to organize tightly in the tribe and to push back or strike out against those who are different.”

Climate change will also likely create new refugee problems as arable land becomes more scarce.

“If you start seeing more severe drought; more significant famine; more displacement from the Indian subcontinent and coastal regions in Africa and Asia; the continuing problems of scarcity, refugees, poverty, disease—this makes every other problem we’ve got worse,” he said. “That’s above and beyond just the existential issues of a planet that starts getting into a bad feedback loop.”

While the Democratic candidates for president have pledged to continue Obama’s legacy fighting climate change, Republican candidates have shown no interest in tackling the problem. Donald Trump recently told radio host Hugh Hewitt that climate change is, “a problem that I don’t think in any major fashion exists,” while Ted Cruz has called climate change “a religion” and “not science.

Obama continues to press on with initiatives to address climate change; Thursday, he is expected to announce a new pact with Canada to cut methane emissions and protect remote communities and ecologically sensitive marine areas in the Arctic….
