Has he checked with himself and his boss regarding the threat level?
(Washington Post) Secretary of State John F. Kerry on Thursday called the Islamic State “the gravest extremist threat faced by our generation and the embodiment of evil in our time,†describing the group as combining “medieval and modern fascism†and comparing it to the enemies the United States faced in the last century’s world wars.
Well, it’s nice to have the threat recognized. Now, if only they’d acknowledge the true threat from all Islamists, especially those working quietly and without the violence to change Western society using our own laws, Constitutions, and mores against us.
Even as the diplomatic track continues, he said, the fight against the Islamic State has expanded. President Obama “over the last month . . . has directed every member of his national security team to pick up the pace and move forward with ideas for degrading and defeating Daesh more rapidly, more completely, and permanently.†(snip)
“The stakes could not be higher,†Kerry said. “We are on the right track, and we are making gains, and we are clear about the road ahead.â€
Imagine what we could have done if someone had treated ISIS as the Varsity, rather than the JV.
Of course, there’s this
- Kerry: Climate Change More Serious Threat Than Terrorism, Poverty, WMD
- John Kerry: Climate Change Most Serious Threat We Face on the Planet
- In a speech this month in Hawaii, Mr. Kerry called climate change “the biggest challenge of all that we face right now.”
There’s plenty more like that from SoS Kerry. He’s also compared ‘climate change’ as being as big a threat as ISIS, Ebola, and other things.
- Obama: Climate change is ‘greatest threat’
- Obama: Climate Change is the Greatest Threat (this one is from a different speech than 1st)
- OBAMA TO COAST GUARD GRADS: CLIMATE CHANGE THE BIGGEST THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY
- Obama kills Keystone pipeline, citing climate change as biggest threat
- Obama: Climate Change ‘Defining Threat of This Century’
Perhaps Mr. Kerry should have checked with Mr. Obama, who doesn’t seem to make any equivocation regarding ‘climate change’ being his #1 threat.

Your entire premise is flawed; your post was a waste of your time and ours.
Kerry said:
Extremist threat. Others disagree and think right-wing extremists in the US are a bigger threat.
Atmospheric CO2 is neither an extremist nor evil.
Teach I will begin to take your for fear of DOOM from ISIS seriously only after you totally go medieval on them
Don’t be like the despised warmists who preach. But then fail to go 100%!!
Atmospheric CO2 is neither an extremist nor evil. Nor a threat.
Climate change ? Perhaps not so much of a threat to drowning puppies as to millions of other human beings.
Narcissism? self centered? lack of empathy ?
Yes, J- at colleges around the country the First Amendment is under assault, young people think speech they don’t agree with is “hate speech” (usually because they’re too stupid to rebut the speech they don’t agree with), P.C. brown-shirts constantly patrol social media, the MSM, schools,…. basically everywhere, but yet some are more worried about “right wing extremists”. Sure.
John- why in the world would anyone care whether you take someone seriously or not as far as ISIS is concerned? And why would they first have to “go medieval” on them? So you’re saying, for instance, that a 90 year old man would first have to go medieval on ISIS before you took his concern seriously? I am a dumber person for having read that.
