And the gap between Democrat and Taliban / Al Queda / ISIS narrows just a little bit more.

Because everywhere the Taliban go they leave nothing but beauty, ‘er beheaded Christians, burned homes, dynamited Buddhist statues.. and the list goes on and on. The Taliban also said dropping the bomb and our joy over said bomb was inexcusable. Okay, sorry, not sorry!!

I don't know if ISIS is sounding more like the Democrat Party or if the Dems are sounding more like ISIS.

This from the rectal vents that burn people alive, rape and behead women and essentially have trashed anywhere they have been.

They are sure to get sympathy from the un.

ISIS murders/rapes/tortures innocent civilians by the thousands, tens of thousands, and our response is “disproportionate”.

Yes, that seems to sum it up accurately.

The Democrats seem to have that same relationship with a number of entities.

Can't blame them for thinking that though. They probably watch CNN.
