I see what you are driving at but I disagree. But call it what you want but if you let the act of a nutjob change your life and way of living then the terrorist has accomplished their mission and you have allowed them to. The odds of you dying or being involved in a terrorist attack are nearly 0% yet you have far higher odds of being killed or maimed in an auto accident or dying from the flu, yet you do not over react to them. Life is full of choices, chose which sort of life you will live, one filled with irrational fear or one where you enjoy life to it's fullest, your choice and no one else's.
This act has not changed my life or my way of living. My posts have been aimed at supporting my opinion that this was an act of terrorism. Just because I think this was an act of terrorism does not mean I am terrified.
I agree with most of the rest of your post although I doubt you know my reaction, or lack thereof, to the chances of dying in a car crash or from the flu.
I don't see anything "religious" about his bias. "His bias against whites" would have sufficed. Perhaps you can enlighten us all about the "religious" component of his biases. I'm sure you've spoken to him extensively in order to arrive at your conclusions. Otherwise, your conclusions might be the product of your own personal biases.
Is sarcasm really necessary?
Did you read through his Facebook page? I did. Unless he has been hacked (and I didn't see any such comments from him), the origin of his bias doesn't require any conclusions...it's all there plain as day for any to see. Although I suspect his FB page has been deleted by now.
Therein lies the beauty of a public FB profile...no need to speak to someone personally.

When you assert that the origin of his bias against race is religion, then evidently sarcasm is necessary. Because YOU are the one showing us YOUR biases. Islam is not biased against white people.
I specifically and deliberately used the language "get involved with" not "visit areas with". Words matter. I wrote:
"Now I will attempt to clarify this point further.
Presidents naturally get involved with serious natural disasters. It's what they do. There is little choice involved beyond perhaps the timing of a visit.
However, presidents do not generally get involved with serious personal crimes. It's not what they do. So when they do get involved with serious personal crimes they are making a statement regarding their values based on the types of serious personal crimes they choose to get involved in.
One cannot logically compare the two since one assumes a presidential response and the other does not."
Ringwise was obviously referring to the president's involvement with personal crime victims based on his two examples. You introduced natural disaster victims. I pointed out the difference. That is not spin. That is fact. This is the post you replied to:

This is the post I was responding too.

You're just not going to let it go. I EXPLAINED my point, maybe I should do as your family and friends do and say you're right, so that way life can go on!

Yes, that is the post I referenced. I took it directly from your response.
I got your point, okie. It just wasn't a valid comparison. For the logical reason I explained. To use your basis we would have to compare the president's response to *natural disaster* victims of each race. Maybe that's hard for you to see. No matter.
When my posts are not carefully read (as they are carefully written) and thus misinterpreted (along with a dash of personal insult thrown in <sigh>) I will admit that I tend to further elaborate without responding to the insult. However, it is obvious from your inclination to insult me that there is no point so it is definitely time to let it go.

The article on Cheney is as biased and presumptive as the extreme right wing articles on high profile liberal Democrats. If we get our information from such sources (on either side) we are affixing the blinders about as close to our eyeballs as we can get.
We are not talking about Islam. We are talking about Alton Nolen's (Jah'Keem Yisrael's) personal religious bias, however perverted it may be, as evidenced by his Facebook Timeline. At least that's what I was talking about.
Continuing to repeat the same statement is not going to change what I wrote. No matter how many times you do it.
Why do people insist on whitewashing what this guy did by calling him a "nutjob" ? My zany cousin is a "nutjob", the guy that talks to himself is a "nutjob". This guy brutally severed a womans head off as he was shouting allha Akbar. This guy is a murdering terrorist.
