The Orlando massacre is sickening and frightening. It's sickening on its face: Dozens of innocent people were shot to death by a remorseless, merciless fanatic on Saturday night, executed for the 'crime' of carousing with friends at an establishment that caters to a clientele despised by their killer. It's frightening because this horror was not perpetrated by masked men shouting slogans in an unfamiliar tongue thousands of miles away. It wasn't carried out by trained practitioners of terror who hijacked airplanes and targeted symbolic nuclei of American power in wealth. No, like last year's San Bernardino bloodbath, this atrocity unfolded in a mid-sized American city, at the hands of a young U.S.-born American citizen. Fact will be separated from fiction in the days to come, as details are clarified and leads chased down. What seems to be clear at this stage is that Saturday's agent of destruction was a radical Islamist, inspired by ISIS and exhorted to action by instructions to murder and maim as many 'infidels,' particularly during Islam's holy month of Ramadan.

I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
Every single person in America should KNOW who said that!
Guess you cant order tacos either.
Only on ladies night...
The important thing is that AMERICANS died
at the hands of an ISLAMIC fanatic.
It could have been in a church, a school, a shopping
center any where in America!
The other thing is, it WILL happen again in spite of
our best efforts. Efforts which this administration
seems bent on denying.
In the next 220 days, how many more will have to pay
the price of this man’s dithering.
“Never mind that erecting a religious test for entry into the United States would be logistically shambolic...”
The writer seems to miss another “hard fact” - for many Muslims, it is as much a political party as a religious belief!
I don’t know Guy Benson and am not familiar with any of his writing or political affiliation. I would think that since his article was published by Townhall he would have Conservative leanings.
But based on what I just read he is no Conservative. More like a squishy moderate.
He just doesn’t get it. He’s one of those “can’t we just get along” types.
Best illustration of that is that he thinks that the victims were killed because they were gay. They weren’t killed because they were gay. They were killed because they were infidels. They were killed because that is what Mohammed told his followers to do.
Lots of assclowns still don’t understand that.
Most vehemently agreed.
So what if they were homosexuals? They were OUR homosexuals. And from what I saw in video footage a good many stayed and helped. That's what good people do.
It was also inspiring to see the support from the local community. d:^)
Guy Benson is one of the “young guns” foisted onto the “conservative” pundit scene in part by Hugh Hewitt, along with Mary Katharine Ham. Conservatives learned along the way that Mary Katharine’s late husband was a hard core liberal and advisor to Obozo, and Guy Benson is gay.
