Chamberlain did declare war, but he oversaw the disasters of the invasion of Norway, Belgium and Holland, and the fall of France.

I know a gentleman from Jerusalem, manages his uncles grocery store not very far from me. We had a conversation a few months ago regarding these terror attacks, he said all of this will be happening here in the US within a short number of years.

Mark my words he said.

Within the past few years there have been 3 mosque’s built within 30 minutes of my home. Never really understood what a mosque was until 9-11-01.

f this terror attack had occurred in Israel, French newspapers would be running the headline “Arab truck driver executed by Israeli police”.

I don’t think that was directed at me; just where dog jumped in to express frustration with the usual freeper jokes which always show up on these type threads.

No apology needed, no offense taken. I did not take it personally because I knew it was not directed to me. :-).

That graphic nails it exactly right. Kudos.

Furthermore, at some point we must face the fact that the self-censorship using blurred images and handwringing drama lectures by the talking heads like Anderson Poopchuter and MeAgain Kelly ( "we won't show you the horrific ..." ) is self-defeating.

Moving On is no longer an option. Doing so means that little girl under the heat blanket died in vain along with the thousands of others in the past month.

Our business and banking elites are too tied to $audi$ and Gulf Arab$ so we do nothing to get to the root of the problem.

In fact, we didn’t after 9/11.

The Left hits George W Bush for fighting the wars he chose after 9/11. I fault W for fighting in the wrong places.

Stop the worship of political idols. The two big parties of the Uniparty are bought and paid for and will only say nice things about Islam and not fight a real and meaningful war against terrorism.

Prayers for Nice.

Just imagine if a few citizens have been armed with handguns. 80 may have very well have been 30. People have a right of self defense.

NEVER will I EVER give up my weapon. Self defense of our families, American countrymen/woman is OUR responsibility...not the gubbamint.

Imagine living in Nice tonight, a few blocks from where this happened, and trying to keep your family safe with NO MEANS to protect yourself because only Muslims and Police are the ones with guns?
