If Christians had been murdered, would they have flown the Christian flag? The victims are being remembered for their sex choices - not their humanity.

Sadly, this is being made all about an attack on gays, rather than an attack on America

I come to despise these people more and more each day. It’s not that a group of gays were killed! It’s that a group of AMERICANS were killed on American soil!

Boycott the Red Sox. Or is it soxes?

NY Yankees fans always knew the Red Sox were a bunch of fags, anyway. :-P

CNN has been running images and names all day. Can’t remember them doing that before.

What an awful thing to do.

Even in death, the Democrats want to divide the country for political gain.

Flying a rainbow flag is the response the dead get?

That is sure to stop the Moslem terrorists.

Fifty dead Americans and the best the Democrats can do is sputter and put some cloth on a pole.

What a travesty.

I have predicted for a couple of years that a sports team or league will show support for homosexuals by requiring each player to wear an image of the rainbow flag on the jersey. This twisted killer in Orlando may ultimately be responsible for that future action.

The damned homos won’t stop until they’re allowed to rub their prolapsed anuses on all our faces. And even then, it won’t be enough for them. They won’t stop until their sick perversions are deemed wholly sacred by the entire population at large.

Whatever.

It wasn’t like 50 Americans getting killed was bad enough.

They were 50 GAY people.

It seems to me that the mourning should be that they are human beings who were killed. I do not wish to honor their lifestyle.

It is all for the children, esp. to normalize sodomy for the little boys whose daddies take them to baseball games when they are young. The Fatherless boys who don’t watch baseball, have a warped perception and need for males—daddy issues, like the homosexual, obama—an abused boy in the madrassas and by the pornographer, pederast communist”mentor” who trained the boy in Hawaii for his sick, disgusting Marxist mother and grandparents.

Hyper-sexualization-—putting sick, vile ideas into little heads to normalize the Spartan, Muslim, Samurai practice of sodomizing the little boys (to destroy the Christian Worldview and erase the Age of Wisdom/Western Civilization for their NWO of slavery (Vice is slavery—Aristotle).
