Sure, if you ignore San Bernadino and Santa Monica.

Had this been a mass shooting in Orlando by a crazy white guy, would anyone on the right even care or would they say that it was tragic but there is nothing we can do about it?




Crazy guy commits atrocity, Libs in turn seek to punish Americans for his actions.

And if it is successful, the government will do away with the 2 amendment. It will have no choice, and that will be the end of the United States.

So, really, while they didn't win the way they thought, the radicals have likely got a path to what they wanted.
The establishment right pretends to oppose the left, but at the first hint of pushback from the left, they immediately crumble, cower and start apologizing.

The establishment right and left are both in bed with the corporations and the moneyed elites. That is the most logical explanation for why both sides continually act in ways that are severely damaging to their constituents.

Liberalism is a religion that holds certain beliefs:

White is bad (unless liberal and/or gay)
Male is terrible (unless liberal, gay, or non-white)
Christianity is terrible (unless black), all other religions are okay and Islam is the best almost as good as Atheism
Republican is bad
Conservative Christianity is the devil...white, Christian, Conservative male is lucifer in drag
Gay is angels

This is how liberals have been preached to and many accepted the religion. No amount of evidence to the contrary is accepted.

Israel is part of the problem. We need to stop supporting them and sending over money. Just leave the entire Middle East alone.. stop playing policeman of the world... stop forcing democracy or whatever we try to call it.

I am actually very saddened by this mass murder, it has affected a number of people close to me, and has been a very devastating thing for all those that were involved.

Though last time I checked, the man who killed these people was a born and raised American. If he were Christian, would you be calling him a Radical Crusading Christian? Of course not. You didn't blame an entire religion when that crazy white guy shot up a black church. Just because this fuels your hatred of Muslims is the only reason you are making this about religion, and here you have the nerve to tell me to have sympathy for the LGBT community and those the lost their lives.

Would you care if a crazy white guy shot up a bunch of people in the LGBT community?

Among them, they hate each other. Do you think that BLM gives a crap about muslims? During the Paris massacres, BLM was pissed because the Paris attack "overshadowed" their stories about black-only safe spaces at whatever universities they were protesting at. The LGBT doesn't give a crap about Muslim attacks either - as evidenced here on CD. Muslims also hate the LGBT (no secret there) and don't condemn the "extremists" for throwing them off of high rooftops. The head of the ACLU resigned because she stood true to her convictions regarding the pedophilia induced bathroom laws and how they made her daughter feel uncomfortable. The LGBT didn't give a crap about the ACLU or the feelings of a 6 year old girl around a man with a penis and boobs.

So, while the left thinks the GOP is falling apart, they are falling apart even faster and don't even realize it because they're too busy blaming white christians, waving rainbow flags, hosting BLM protests closing down bridges, awarding 13th place medals, and medicating an entire population with whatever drug is popular today so that people don't get their feelings hurt and feel depressed.

Are you in Orlando? I am, and this scumbag was a US born, wife beater, bi polar nutcase , and cop wannabe... who attached himself to radical Isis . So far no real proof besides his mouth, to indicate otherwise, unless there is a medium talking to a ghost ?? I'll hold until FBI finishes.kg

You have nailed it. The only thing that ever matters is the religion or the race of the shooter.

White/Christian/skinhead--he's obviously mentally ill and is absolutely not a reflection on every white Christian in the country. He's a "lone wolf."

Minority or Muslim shooter--he is a thug or a radical who is representative of every one of his race or religion.

They won't admit it, but they don't have to. They essentially say as much with every post.
