Lovely, isn't it?

Where are Articles of Impeachment?

Democrats never miss an opportunity to politicize tragedies in pursuit of their own power, do they?

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Morons and losers.

[mountaineer]

Petulant children.

Oddly enough, I'm with them.  I'm tired of "moments of silence" for things that we should no longer be silent about!  Like islamic attacks on our citizens.

They never let a crisis go to waste.

I've heard that the gun caused this.
I have heard the that internet caused this.
I have heard that Radical Islam caused this.
I have heard that hatred towards homosexuals caused this.
I've heard Trump's rhetoric has caused this.
I have heard that our PC culture has caused this.

I have yet to hear that the perpetrator caused this.

I agree with that. I also don't understand the "vigils," memorials full of teddy bears and candles,  nor the exclamations that heaven has gained another angel. Having said that, my objection to their walking out on the moment of silence is that they threw a hissy fit over the alleged (but entirely imaginary) lack of "gun control" legislation.

Yes, I should have made clear that I didn't agree with their "rationalization" for walking out.

Well, of course it's phrased as "I think we need a discussion" which to a liberal means, I will scream and shout until you agree with me.

Well it is the gay community and they're all about flowers, candles love and all that twisted mush.

Our family had a distant cousin who was gay....I received a letter from him one time , as he lived on the West Coast,  that was covered with flowers, kittens, hearts and the like.....I saw what homosexuality did to this man, now dead from aids.  And also how twisted his mind became. As well how fully self centered he and his partner were to others as well as each other. ......all these "emblems" are often just used to hide behind the reality they deny.

In this Orlando case the gay community will eat up this attention not realizing it's not that people are supporting their lifestyle,  it's that people were killed by an Islamic attack ....but they will make it more than it is along with those who swallow the "let's just love every body" agenda.

Liberals have picked up on the 'politization' criticism now. Recently I've seen them employ it when anyone questions the lefts refusal to acknowledge radical islam as the culprit.

Of course they don't mean to imply that EVERY variety of politicization of tragedy is bad. Some they reserve for themselves.

Sanctimonious leftists make baptist church ladies look positively licentious.

[mountaineer]

I remember when the liberals used to constantly accuse the right of moralizing.  Now they are the biggest moralizers ever, only their definition of moral is anything but.

The problem is that the left's "morals" have no basis. When what's good or evil is a matter of what they say it is at the moment, it's kind of hard to pin down.

I agree.  These weepy vigils do nothing to confront the existential enemy in our midst.

I'm sure the usual liberal suspects will be putting the rainbow flag as a background in their narcissistic Facebook and Instagram profiles - much like they did the French and Belgian flags before.

That'll solve everything.

feckless jackasses

yeah let attack the bill of rights and disarm law abiding citizens
that will show those Muslim terrorists

I'm sure the usual liberal suspects will be putting the rainbow flag as a background in their narcissistic Facebook and Instagram profiles - much like they did the French and Belgian flags before.

I was actually wondering about that last night -- are the French and Belgian people putting the stars and stripes across their narcissistic Facebook and Instagram profiles now?  Or just the rainbows?  Anybody know?
