Leadership and the sheeple

Francois Hollande and Hillary Clinton gave a seminar on leadership to the inhabitants of the republican clown car yesterday.   Hollande made it clear France will not be cowed by ISIS.  Defying the cult of hate to do their worst, he also affirmed the French will not back down and will continue to welcome refugees from Syria.  Clinton, making a major foreign policy speech outlined a plan to destroy ISIS by military and economic means and also called for American hospitality to those fleeing the terror in Syria and Iraq.  A majority of democrats have responded to this reasonable, nuanced display of leadership.  Contrast this with the pearl clutching terror of Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, et. al.  We also have the spectacle of the Donald calling for a national Muslim database requiring all adherents of Islam to register with the federal government.   When asked what difference this scheme had with the registration of Jews in Nazi Germany, his reply was chilling;  "What do you think?".   Naturally, the overwhelming majority of republicans responded to this cowardice by telling polls they want to pull the welcome mat from under the feet of those most in need.  Leadership is in short supply in a political party which has lost its collective mind.
