On Thursday, when talking about the terrorist atrocity in Orlando in that city, President Obama acknowledged that Omar Mateen’s spree and the San Bernardino murders in December stemmed from the same root. But that root isn’t ISIS or jihad. The root is “derangement.”

These are all the true precursors of Omar Mateen’s evil morning of slaughter — terrorist attacks in service of jihad, inspired by inciters and designers of jihadist violence.

so predictable. Change the story line from Asian muslim jihadist scumbag to ‘unstable, lone, white, male shooter’

while on the sidelines, a new litmus test is born, that of, do you support aberrant sexuality 100% and, if not, then you must sympathize with the shooter, mindset.

I keep reminding myself, six months, six months, six months, six long months until Zero walks out of the White House forever and Trump brings sanity back to the Land of The Brave.

You’re not the only one. It’s a pattern. And Obama believes his own “genius” shtick so much that he’s like the kid with crumbs on his mouth thinking he can fool Mom that the dog climbed on top of the fridge and ate the cookies...

It’s algore’s fault. He invented the Internet where hate-filled rhetoric is now being shared by “deranged” individuals
