Christians can only be a few radical extremists.


And before people yell at me for stereotyping. My wife's mother was half Lebanese. My wife may be fair skin and blue eyes but she has some cousins with olive skin and dark eyes. In fact her two cousins are full sisters one has fair skin and blue eyes while the other have olive skin and dark eyes.

You're absolutely right - somehow American discourse on acts of violence has degraded to the extent that light-skinned people absolutely cannot be terrorists. Unless they are fighting on the side of dark-skinned Muslims somewhere halfway around the world. Then we can kill them with drones.

from an act of terrorism to an act of somewhat over-zealous, but well-meaning, attempt to get big government out of our pockets?

Timothy McVeigh had light-pigmented skin - that gets you thrown off the 'terrorist' team these days...
