POTUS AND BATTERED WOMAN'S SYNDROME

The democrats, and other liberals in this country, are dealing with domestic terrorism like they have battered-woman's syndrome.  Like a woman who continues to stay in an abusive relationship, so the President and other democrat leaders continue on in denial, believing only that this new reality is only minor and that the real problem is guns and/or climate change.  Denial is the salient characteristic of battered-woman's syndrome; what is obvious to everyone is denied by the victim.

If the victim is enlightened and finally does admit the abuse is occurring, the next symptom is to blame herself and feel shame.  She thinks, "I'm responsible, I'm doing something to bring about this abuse."  Even though she is innocent, she believes she deserves it.  Isn't that the message that the liberal left attempts to lay on us?  "It's America's fault, we are greedy exploiters and thieves of the world's resources.  That is why this terrorism is happening."

Another characteristic of the battered-woman's syndrome victim is the false belief that the abuse will diminish over time.  It doesn't.  Radical Islamic terrorism will not either.  Doing nothing is not neutral, it is harmful.  The situation becomes worse, not better.

When the victim is truly enlightened, she understands that she has done nothing to deserve her abuse.  Attempts by the abuser to shame her and make her the cause of abuse are overcome.  She understands that she has a responsibility to herself and her family to end this abuse.  Using every legal means she takes positive action to bring it to an end.  What ever these means are, it is not a matter of hating, but it is a matter of not being stupid and of doing the right thing.

In the battle against radical Islamic terrorism, however hard it may be, it is not about hating Muslims, but it is about not being stupid and doing the right thing.  The first responsibility of the POTUS is to protect the citizens of the US.  Obama needs to get over his "battered woman's syndrome" and do the right thing.
