By the way, did you remember there was a Democrat debate this weekend?

Three highlights (actually, lowlights) of the Democratic presidential debate  "During the Democratic presidential debate lots of dumb stuff was bandied about. Including:
Bernie Sanders’ wild assertion that (1) climate change is the greatest national security threat the United States faces, and (2) climate change and terrorism are inextricably linked. Per Sanders, “climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism.” Wow. I did not know that. Thanks Uncle Bernie! Quick question for ya’: Since you believe that climate change is a relatively new phenomenon, how do you explain 1400 years of Muslims trying to conquer the world?

"Meanwhile, all three candidates expressed unwavering commitment to bringing more “refugees” to the United States. Even in the face of this week’s terror attacks. Sanders said we have a “moral responsibility” to these “refugees.” (Heaven forbid we have a moral responsibility to ourselves.) " . . .


Candidates Perform Contortions to Avoid Saying ‘Radical Islam’ at #DemDebate

"The first 20 or so minutes of last night’s Democrat debate was devoted to national security with an emphasis on the terror attacks in Paris. It was a subject that made everyone on stage visibly uncomfortable.

"Jenna Lifhits of the Washington Free Beacon:


"Hillary Clinton refused to use the term “radical Islam” to describe groups like the Islamic State Saturday at the Democratic debate, despite having used the term “radical Islamic jihadist groups” four days prior.


"When moderator John Dickerson asked Clinton whether she agreed with Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R., Fla.) statement that the Paris attacks show “that we are at war with Radical Islam,” Clinton said she would use a term other than “Radical Islam.' ” . . .
“I don’t think we’re at war with Islam,” she said Saturday. “I don’t think we’re at war with all Muslims. I think we’re at war with jihadists.”
