"We do not succumb to fear," he said. "The most powerful tool we have to fight ISIL is to say that we're not afraid, to not elevate them, to somehow buy into their fantasy that they're doing something important," Obama said, using an acronym for the terrorist organization.
What Obama and his ilk attempts to label as fear is actually outrage and anger, that is the failing in the connection with most American's. No amount of pleading and calling us pussies is going to change the fact that we are angry about what happened in Paris and even /more/ angry that the left doesn't give a shit if it happens here.
