I'm not sure what you're saying here, but don't conservatives also subscribe to the fact that this is a country founded on a competing superstition? Christian Nation no? No liberal justifies rape and murder. That's just a reactionary talking point. These are countered by equally ridiculous talking points from the other side. It's time we all put on our "big boy pants" and grow up.

Liberals and Muslims are allies in thier war against Christianity and western culture. Liberals will always find a way to rationalize and ignore acts of murder, rape, and terrorism committed by thier friends.

Totalitarians of any stripe are comfortable bed fellows and can conveniently ignore horrible acts as simply a means to achieve thier totalitarian state.

Like Islam, liberalism is a force of evil and subjugation in the world.

I was referring to social media. It was the first sentence of my post, for Pete's sake. I was pointing out the social experiment that is FB, and how oddly selective our outrage is over these events. You then argue against this phenomenon by pointing out how we don't react when things happen 'half way around the world'. That's not true at all, and I pointed that out.

Americans showed far far more compassion on social media for the Paris attacks than they did the one that occurred in our own backyard, in San Bernardino. The Paris attacks had Americans using French avatars, sharing survivor stories, offering pledges of support and hosting benefit concerts. When the SB attack occurred, social media went no habla. People didn't express a need to unify and be supportive at all. There seems to be so much self-loathing among some Americans that they can't even show compassion when we're attacked on our own soil.

That s my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

I think ultra conservative Christians would be much better partners in that enterprise. Intolerance, intractable superstitious beliefs, a history of glossing over atrocity in the name of faith...

All liberals that post here continuously justify rape and murder if done by Muslims....if rape or murder done by Christians, then you would be right, they would scream and rant about it continuously.

If Christians were attacking, raping and killing Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Gays, women, other Christians on a daily basis and if Christians book advocated doing so, then you would have a point...but they're not and you don't.

Our government murders thousands of innocent people in the Middle East so we have absolutely no justification to call out, as well as falsely label Muslims, until we clean our own house first.

I think that's a voice in your head. Show me your proof. Saying that refugees deserve a chance is not justifying rape and murder, except maybe in the consciousness you inhabit. I for one would condemn rape and murder regardless of religion,race, or nationality.

This is an outright lie. There are plenty of things to call Liberals on but this is not one of them. All? NO. Do some? again NO. One out of millions? There might be one. ONE!

First off our Christian presidents have murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people in the Middle East. Our current murderer in chief, who is a Christian in spite of what republicans as well as democrats think, has murdered thousands of innocents while trying to hunt down "terrorists". At best, 1 out of every 10 killed is the actual target. At BEST. Your post is garbage.
I'm defending Liberals ...ugh

I dont remember anyone speculating them to be white, or the media coverage letting up once we found out they werent white, which was within the day it happened.

What is the bold there for, My comment was in line with your post. Do you care about a car crash in Jakarta or the one down the street, how about a 5.0 Earthquake in China vs one 10 miles down the road. Outrage is relevant to distance.

The closer the event, the more you care, that is why Social media cares about American events and not some bombing attempt half way across the planet

That is a false equivalency

Paris attack; 130 people dead, 368 injured. 3 separate locations with in the capital of a major ally including an attack at a concert and SPorts venue.


San Bernardino attack: 14 dead , 24 injured,

Why are you trying to claim these are equal in weight?
