Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump  1m1 minute ago
In light of the horrible attack in Nice, France, I have postponed tomorrow's news conference concerning my Vice Presidential announcement.

The price on Trump's head may have just doubled, by the people who know this will only help to get him elected. No doubt his security detail is being reinforced.

Also, no matter what he says or does the Left is just waiting for any quote they can twist to say that he is 'gloating' or 'celebrating' or whatever else they can dream up to try to pin the behavior of Muslims in France, as somehow being Trump's fault.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

About thirty minutes ago I was  visiting DemocraticUnderground aka Dummyunderground for their comments about the attack. Naturally, most of them have their heads jammed up their anal orifices about who is responsible. But there was one poster who lamented that the lefties on the site blamed  Christians, Republicans, and whites for bad things but didn't want to blame Islam for anything.
I went back a few minutes ago, and that post had been removed. They're still puzzled why anybody would do something like this. Leftists/libs are determined to keep their heads jammed up their rear ends.

Me too.
There are Muslims and there are Muslims. Remember, the Kurds are our friends, and they are mostly Muslims.  But I will agree something radical has to be done to many Islamic countries.

Sad and pathetic that anyone would think this has something to do with Trump. Trump is literally the LAST person in America I would consult over terrorism and security issues

If we are really going to deal with this problem we will have to do that, or contain them like we did the USSR during the not so cold war. We can't keep lying to ourselves that this is just a small part of islam.

I'm okay destroying all their holy sites one by one until this stops.

Again...the interview was scheduled prior to this attack.

But, Trump is a candidate for POTUS .... he is one of the FIRST people who should speak on terrorism and security issues.   **nononono*

Good analysis.

I wish the nominee were Sen Cruz. I would have no concerns about how he would handle himself in front of the media. We will see if Trump's handlers have control of him yet, or not.

They are only our friends because they want their freedom. If you were to point out all the inconsistencies in islam and how the koran is not the inspired Word of God they would turn on you pretty quick.

The Kurds were the only Islamic people to thank us for getting rid of Saddam.  They are the only Muslims who willingly cooperate with us and where Americans can go and be greeted warmly.
 Nobody likes their religion denigrated, and to be sure I am not a fan of Islam. I'm only saying not all Muslims are evil.

I just visited the DailyMail (London) for info on the attack and read the many comments below the article. Not ONE!!! commenter  mentioned the words "Islam" " Muslims" or "Isis." The pronoun "They" was referenced a number of times, but no one said the words "Islam" or "Muslim" or  "Isis." Is there some sort of ban on mentioning those words in the British media?

It was just some domestic lone wolf, doncha know?
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

I wonder what it will take before liberal western governments will do what it takes to protect their citizens.

Maybe they're tolerance for violence against their own citizens in the name of diversity is unlimited.

I'm sick of all the lamentations and "analysis."

All Germans weren't evil under Nazism but very few were trustworthy. islam is not just a faux religion it is a political ideology.

Governor Mike Pence ‏@GovPenceIN  8 Dec 2015
Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional.
