For those of you saying 'Dead queers and trannies, no big loss'; they were AMERICAN queers and trannies (cue 'The Rocketeer'), murdered on OUR soil by MUSLIMS.

The choice is simple.

I call for rapid deployment of Bacon-Fragmentation-Devices (to be designated as 'BFD's) over any and all ISIS targets on a global scale.

“Kudos to Peter Doocy of Fox for asking about the jihad terror connection.”

I got a text from a SIL to tune into Fox and Friends, (she knows that I have been boycotting Faux) for their coverage of this act of terrorism.

Doocy was on when I tuned into Fox and Friends. He nailed the bastard re his terrorist links.

They had Newt on, and he ripped the rats from Obama down about how they have lied to Americans about the dangers of Islam. He said that we may to do what FDR did in WWII with the Nazis in America to protect Americans.

Next they had Waheed (?), and he ripped Obama and the PC rats in DC re lying to protect the Islamofascists in America.

Ben Carson is on now and is ripping the liberals in charge of America. He told the gays in America to wake up re how the Islamics hate gays.

The hosts on Faux and Friends have done an excellent job with zero pussy footing re the Jihadist terrorists in America and not blaming Trump.

So, I can expect to see Disney issue a handgun to every patron?

Media suddenly running around in circles trying to divert the blame

in the last 10 minutes, MSNBC and CNN have shifted gears.
Now that it is KNOWN that the shooter is a Muzzie, and not a CHRISTIAN (in keeping with the approved Democrat/MediaMatters memes) CNN has started saying “The motive is unclear...”

In the old days of wild wild west, there were no mass shootings, even though cowboys always had their guns in saloons. And people were probably afraid to antagonize any bar patrons because everybody carried. In short, the guns created a civil and orderly and law abiding society.

What gun control advocates from foreign countries do not understand (along with liberals in US) that there are more guns in private hands in US than there are people. With gun control, the law abiding will be stripped and the criminals will not obey any gun control laws.

Fox and Friends said that his parents were from Afghanistan, and he was born here.

What mosque did he go to. Did he learn his hatred for Americans there?

Did he learn it on Facebook or some other social idiot site?

Suspected Islamic extremist shoots dead at least 20 at Florida gay club
UK Daily Mail ^ | 12 Jun 16 | UK Daily Mail
Posted on 6/12/2016, 6:49:46 AM by fifthvirginia

The suspected Islamic extremist who killed about 20 people after taking party-goers hostage inside a gay club in Orlando has been identified.

Law enforcement sources have identified the shooter, who was wielding an assault rifle and a handgun, as US citizen Omar Mateen, from Port St. Lucie in Florida.

The gunman, who was born to Afghan parents, was carrying a suspicious device, possibly a suicide vest, when he opened fire on the dance floor inside Pulse in the early hours of this morning.

President Obama:

Good morning. Last night a depraved American citizen began firing a big gun in the midst of innocent party-goers in an Orlando nightclub. Our country is under siege from all forms of hate, on both sides of the ideological divide, and this must stop. The FBI has not ruled out terrorism.

Until we know more, I caution our citizens not to overreact, and not to jump to conclusions, in knee-jerk fashion as many on a particular side are prone to do, about the role religion may have played in this tragic shooting. With a gun.

It is not who we are, or who we want to be, to discriminate against people of any religion just because some among them ascribe a conservative, literal meaning to its scriptures.

As to the victims and their families, our hearts go out to you, and we all feel sad for your loss. And remember, it was my administration which allowed many of your sons and daughters the dignity of legal marriage, hopefully compensating in some way for the fact that because of guns, they are no longer with us.

Because guns. Without guns, this wouldn’t have happened.

We need to restrict guns more, and I assure you we will propose appropriate legislation designed to accomplish this objective.

Thank you, and God bless Americans, and all others who dwell here.
