U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst kept it simple Friday.

The Iowa Republican listed off a series of “global threats” to the world’s security during a 25-minute speech in Omaha, where she was the keynote speaker at a GOP fundraising dinner.

Ernst, who is considered a rising star in the GOP, noted that she had just returned from a security conference in Munich where foreign affairs was on the agenda.

“Wow. What a world we have out there,” she said. “There’s a lot of things going on around the globe, and it makes me so thankful to be an American.”

1. Wow...

...there's, like, STUFF going on in the world outside the US!! Who knew?

2. I am kind of surprised...

Don't Rich people fly overseas any more? Are Rich Republicans, especially statesmen even flying over seas? I am sure that Tea Party Members refuse to leave the Country for fear of ...well practically everything!

3. And according to the media the rest of the world is fucking scary...it is not...it is the opposite.

While America is a beacon of love and life...as long as you are not Muslim...or gay, or not white, or not Christian, or not one of them...or the victim of 300 million guns.

No nation is more terrorized than America, just like the terrorists always intend, terrorists love to terrorize most of all, killing is secondary to the terrorizing.

And who is aiding them in this effort?

Turn on your TV cable news right now for the answer.

ISIS is busy trying to save it's life after losing Kobani and soon Mosul,mwhat threat are they to America?

The threat of terrorism to America is real, do not get me wrong, it is real! It is the GOP, it is Fox, it is Koch's, it is the pretend media, it is terrorizing a defined group, and it is releasing it's sleeper cells.

5. No nation is more terrorized than America?

Take a look at how daily life is in El Salvador, especially cities like San Pedro Sula. Gang violence has an entire country terrorized.

4. A most worthy successor

to the crown of "Queen of Batshit Crazy" recently vacated by Michelle Bachman.

6. If you are not Muslim in America today, then one could indeed compare America to a third world nation.

Or not a young black male, or gay in Kansas, or anyone in open carry Florida....
