When an Islamic terrorist gunned down defenseless US servicemen at Fort Hood in 2009 we were told it was workplace violence. When Islamic terrorists gunned down local government employees at a picnic in San Bernardino in 2015 we were told to withhold judgment until the facts were in even though minorities and women were hardest hit.
But now that an Islamic terrorist has killed 50 at a gay bar in Orlando, Florida, our rulers are calling it “terrorism,” even President Obama, even on the first day after the shooting.
Now I define government as “an armed minority occupying some territory, and taxing the inhabitants thereof to reward its supporters.”
It is interesting to me that the government apparently was not too exercised when a bunch of soldiers were killed, even though soldiers are the actual men with guns that keep the rulers in power. It is interesting that the government wasn’t too exercised when its local minions were gunned down, even though they are the functionaries that keep us “inhabitants thereof” properly subordinated to the rulers and that “make us legible” to the rulers by counting us and taxing us as James C. Scott writes in Seeing Like a State.
But this time it looks as though ISIS or its associates have really gone and done it. It demonstrates, I suppose, just how central gays are to the identity and the throbbing heart of the Democratic Party.

Mine was.
50 dead and 53 wounded is just noise compared to 3,300 a day.
The latter.
You are one in a million (or more).
Most Americans are BLIND to the FACTS.
Funny how few enemies we had after WWII.
Is the battle still fresh in your mind, Z?
Sounds cryptic- spit it out.
Islam has been at war with everyone since the first of Mo’s attacks on Mecca.
The only proven effective methods against slam is conquer, forcibly convert and control. This was done by the Spaniards during the Inquisition, the Byzantines when they reconquered Anatolia and by the Safavid Shahs who forcibly converted Iran to Shia'ism.
That is why Israel matters -- the Islaic nations don't care about the Palstinians, they care that the dome of the Rock does not fall into non-Mozzie hands.
If we go in and destroy Mecca and Medina, this will cause an utter disintegration of the trumphalism of slam.

What does it have to do with what happened in Orlando and our government’s failure to fight islamic terrorism head on?
Fifty deaths are a tragedy; one million is a statistic.”

“We didn’t have the House and the Senate in 2009 and you seriously don’t thing the rats would have gone along with it. Keep on dreaming.”
True the rats would probably not have gone along with impeachment, I’m just talking about what is right and what is wrong and that sadly seems to be lacking on both sides of the isle. And it’s the American people who pay in the end.
You hit the nail square at the head by pointing out that it will be the American people who are the ones who have to pay at the end. So what are we going to do? Personally I think he needs to get a sentence to Fort Leavenworth Prison for Life + 100 years. Impeachment or not
