Why ISIS is a bigger threat than Al-Qaeda in Six Sentences

David French via NRO:

Let’s make this simple, shall we?

1. Al-Qaeda carried out the deadliest attack on American soil in American history and the most devastating foreign attack against an American city since the British occupied and burned Washington during the War of 1812.

2. ISIS is more brutal than al-Qaeda.

3. ISIS has more financial resources than al-Qaeda.

4. ISIS controls more territory — and possesses more firepower – than al-Qaeda.

5. ISIS has seized uranium in sufficient quantities to make a radiological weapon, a dirty bomb.

6. The leader of ISIS declared to his former American captors, “See you in New York,” and ISIS militants have pledged to raise the black flag of jihad over the White House.

In other words, ISIS is more capable in every way than the terrorists that hit America so hard on 9/11. Pinprick strikes weren’t enough to stop a much weaker Osama bin Laden. They will not be enough to stop a much stronger Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

 

Dr. Ben Carson: Public school history curriculum so bad it would make students want to sign up for ISIS (video)

Ben Carson is spot on about this. This type of indoctrination is described by former King’s College President Dinesh D’Souza as “The shaming of American history” where good things mentioned about America are few, but bad things are numerous, repeated, spun, exaggerated and then strung together with a narrative designed to convince children that American values are bad.

UPDATE – for more details on how subversive the new ‘history’ curriculum is read THIS.

According to left wing Common Core proponents own documented goals in Texas:

An emphasis on globalism and a global society, not Americans or Texans.

American “value language” should be eliminated such as American love of liberty etc.

Eliminate how American belief’s and principles identified in our Constitution and Declaration of Independence contribute to our national identity.

Eliminate lessons on federalism and majority rule.

Eliminate patriotic symbols such as Nathan Hale and the Liberty Bell, Christopher Columbus, Christmas, etc.

Eliminate notions of justice and replace with fairness.

Eliminate origins of American military institutions. Mention of Generals such as Patton and Bradley are eliminated.

Focus on imperialism, isolationism and McCarthyism.

Progressive heroes taught to children in grade school before mentions of Washington and Lincoln.

Refocus history from the past to the present.

Eliminate all history before 1565 (adios Western Civ.)

Eliminate teaching of the formation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights
