It is so disappointing that President Obama believes a climate change summit is somehow a rebuke of international terrorism. Think about that. The President's timid response about how to take on ISIS and how to define our enemy has emboldened our enemy, radical Islamists extremists. But he has not been timid in his response on global warming. At a meeting of world leaders right now in Paris, President Obama is choosing to pursue his climate change agenda instead of addressing how we are going to destroy ISIS. In fact, our President seems to believe that global warming is a greater threat than international terrorism. It is clear, in the wake of the horrific attacks in Paris, that his priorities are gravely misplaced. When discussing ISIS, the President reminded the Nation that ``we've faced greater threats to our way of life before.'' True. But that doesn't change the fact that radical Islamic extremism is the threat we face now. ____________________
