They didn't try to band ammo either!  Really!   These fools in the White House, will attempt to tackle the rights of the people, while doing an end around attack on something else, while we are focused on the initial attack.

I don't trust the government period!  It has so much hidden agendas and works more for big businesses...while politicians reap the benefits of stocks and campaign funding...escalating cycle of money flow to fatten their wallets!

The absolute greatest threat to America, Americans and the American way of life is the Democratic party.

What? You mean before the mayor who ordered it got 10 years for corruption?

The absolute greatest threat to America, Americans and the American way of life is the Democratic party.

I can't agree with this one.  The greatest threat to America is lack of capacity for rational thought in the electorate.

The basic underlying tenant of conservatism is wariness of socio-economic change, especially when motivated by government sponsored social engineering.  And liberalism to embrace those changes.

But in reality both sides, and most people, are captured by their dogma.  They are unwilling to embrace the beginning of wisdom and say "I don't know". 

We humans like to say the way things are is the right way because the work...We lose sight of the fact that the best thing you can do than the right thing is the wrong thing.  Doing something always beats doing nothing.

Neither the Dems or the Repubs have a lock on stupid, or on trampling Americans fundamental rights.  Neither party applies rational though consistently to their ideology.

Hillary running for President. She could make Obozo look like Reagon.

Looks like Vlad is taking Russian aircraft into northern Syria bombing "terrorists" against the Assad govt, where US fighters conduct daily bombing raids on ISIS.  The weapons they brought int battle include surface to air & air to air for their fighters.  Top Gun here we come !

DHS says-
Intelligence assessment focuses on domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists.
Some law enforcement groups view domestic terror threat as EQUAL to threat from Islamic terror groups.

'Most' Iraqis believe US is Islamic State ALLY -  Sydney Morning Herald

"We don't believe the Americans support Daesh," said Naseer Nouri, spokesman for the Ministry of Defense, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State. "But it is true that most people are saying they do, and they are right to believe that the Americans should be doing much more than they are. It's because America is so slow that most people believe they are supporting Daesh."

On the streets of Baghdad, most Iraqis see no other explanation.

"The image of the US was damaged in the region, so they created Daesh in order to fight them and restore their image," said Mohammed Abdul Khaleq, a journalist for a local TV station who was drinking coffee in a cafe favoured by writers, most of whom said they agreed.

A rare dissenting voice was offered by Hassan Abdul-Wahab, 23, selling luggage in a nearby shop. "It is true that most people believe that," he said. "But it's not based on reason. It's based on racism - because Iraqis don't like Americans in the first place."

ISIS was formed when we invaded Iraq.

The commanders wanted to secure the northern borders before the invasion to capture terrorists and WMDs. Those in charge disregarded, went in and the bad guys fled to the north joining other terrorist groups including remnants of al qaeda.

This is what SoS Powell said, you break it you own it.

Now whats the fix?

The President again last night asked congress for a use of force against ISIL. Whats the hold up, why are they not wanting to protect Americans?

The facts are clear, terrorism is just a way of life now.

No Regular Army/Marines in the Middle East again, let them fight on their own.

Piss on Barry and his lectures.  He is a pathetic disgrace. 
Misdirecting, dissembling (shuck and jive) B.S. about no fly lists (which they weren't even on) and gun control, climate, police brutality, "set backs", "possible work place violence" etc, etc, etc... 
His policies are a disaster and disgrace but like EVERYTHING else; he takes responsibility for nothing (except snuffing Osama) it's always somebody else's fault.  He is an absolute and total failure and history will remember him as such. 

PS..  Loretta Lynch can sit and rotate on her empty threats about prosecuting people for speech she doesn't approve of!  Take your best shot.

In the modern era, hasn't been a more devisive President or Admistration (and that's sayimg a hell of a lot after W.)!

But that's just my opinion and I'm as entitled to it as you are yours.
