Unfortunately, we are a nation as adrift as France, where "they all lie" has become one of the principal rationales for a congenital liar's continuing viability as the Democrat standard-bearer

Take a good, long, hard look, fellow Americans, at the so-called City of Light--reduced to a blood-stained darkness. Paris was put under its first curfew since 1944, when another group of savages known as the Nazis were inflicting their particular brand of barbarianism on the world. This time, the Islamic State has taken credit for attacks in seven locations, killing at least 129 people and wounding another 180. And make no mistake: While Islamic thugs perpetrated this atrocity, their progressive enablers must be held to account as well. Spare us the criticism of "exploiting" a tragedy for political gain. We will not abide cultural suicide to preserve political correctness.
Timing, as they say, is everything. And the most feckless president in the history of the United States, along with his equally bankrupt administration, did not disappoint. Only hours before the carnage took place, Obama did an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos and gave us an echo of his 2012 campaign "terror is on the run" nonsense. "I don't think they're gaining strength," Obama declared of the Islamic State. "What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in Iraq, and in Syria they'll come in, they'll leave, but you don't see this systemic march by ISIL across the terrain."
