I really, really, really prefer candidates who can speak in complete compound sentences.
Are we regressing to preferring to have a beer with Dumbya (a recovering alcoholic who couldn't drink beer anyway) than with Al Gore, who actually knew what was going on in the world?
At least let me remind you that Gore actually got more votes than Idiot Son in 2000, and then after 8 years of Bush the country voted in a guy with all the charm in the world, who also happens to be coolly cerebral and (as he says of Hillary) wicked smart.
So what is it about Islam that you want the Left to "wake up to"? That a billion people are Muslims? That American Muslims are in our armed services? That Muslims have been part of our country since the beginning, though as a minority?
Or do you think that Islam itself is inherently evil, and all it's adherents are out to get us?
In the broad scheme of things, Americans are out to get us. Mother Emmanuel Church, Sandy Hook Elementary School, Columbine High School, UC Santa Barbara/Isla Vista, any number of post offices -- and let's not forget thousands of young men of color picked off one by one by the men in blue. All of this slow-rolling massacre of US citizens is carried out almost 100% by white males born in the USA of American parents of Christian background.
Help me understand how all the Muslims in the world are to blame for this psychosis, and how Democratic politicians learning to behave like RW demagogues would help.
