Don’t be so quick to assume that.

Over at The New Republic, Brian Beutler has written an article about what he alleges is the Republican obsession with radical Islam.
It’s about one would expect from left-wing thinking on the subject. Beutler writes, “Democratic unease with this language is almost entirely a function of strategic, rather than empathic, thinking-a reflection of the greater seriousness with which the party treats national security and foreign affairs than Republicans.”
The Democratic Party has treated national security and foreign affairs with the seriousness which has left us with the Iran nuclear deal, red lines in Syria which were unceremoniously erased, a Secretary of State who just uttered there was a rationale and a legitimacy to the Charlie Hebdo murders and a President who declared that ISIS had been contained. Did Beutler actually write that sentence with a straight face?........
I wish it weren’t so, but congress is not known for being ballsy. Except for a handful of patriots in both houses, the Republicans are little more than lapdogs to this administration.
