LOL. DHS almost certainly does not like resolved people like us!
The last thing they want is a group of Conservatives all thinking clearly for themselves. ;-)

[hal ogen]

Note to self: Remain as far away from moozlums as is possible.

[Blue Jays]

Completely concur with you thought process.
When was the last time anyone ever said this about anything: "Boy, it sure is a good thing all these Muslims are nearby to help."

ISIS Supporters Announced Imminent Attack Days Before Tunisia Museum Shooting

Two days before Wednesday’s attack on a museum connected to the Parliament building in Tunisia, an ominous message was circulated on social media accounts affiliated with the Islamic State group: An attack in Tunisia had been planned and militants were ready to execute.

Between two and five gunmen opened fire at Tunisia’s Bardo Museum, killing at least 20 people. The gunmen, and their allegiance, have not been identified, but since Monday social media accounts affiliated with the militant group -- which is also known as ISIS or ISIL -- have been spreading a message claiming an attack in Tunisia was imminent. If true, this is one of ISIS’ biggest attacks, and the first time the militant group pre-emptively announced an attack outside its so-called caliphate in Iraq and Syria. The attack also stands out for its location, a nation with a relatively stable, secular government that, although the source of many ISIS fighters, had never been attacked by the group.

Some of the cops had Smith & Wesson 38s out.

It’s Spring in this Arab land and since the attack is over we might now ask.......

....... What difference does it make?

“Lovely country, friendly people.”

Not anymore apparently.

If only the museum had offered the terrorists jobs.

Tunisia's prime minister, Habib Essid, said on Wednesday afternoon that 17 of the dead were foreigners -- from Germany, Italy, Spain and Poland -- calling the attack a cowardly assault targeting the economy.

Just a weird coincidence that 17 of the victims were white Europeans.

I’ll leave all those exotic countries to that big homely man on CNN, who goes about mooching free food everywhere. Bourdain?

Who is still ‘touring’ in that part of the world? You are shopping for trouble. They must not read the current news, or figure ‘I’m not an American, so I’m safe’. Wrongo!

Who’s in that big Chevy Trunk? It’s either Grandma Robinson, or “Aunt” Valerie, neither of whom ever seems to go away.

Another white Southern Baptist deacon POed I guess.

It will be great in 100 years when we have the technology to remotely ID and terminate the perps with the push of a button. I do think it will happen.

This could all be stopped with tougher gun laws throughout Africa. The African federal government must see to it./sarc

The Wiffenpoofs have had crazed gunmen before, so get off your high horse./s

These hostages were from Europe. You’re expecting brains?
