Not sure how you concluded that. Shooting people up makes you a violent extremist. Politics was apparently this joker's motivation. That doesn't mean that every anti-Trumper is a violent extremist.

There are plenty, however, who have been engaging in so much violent rhetoric, that if the shoe were on the other foot, and it ere anti-Hillary folks who were talking about punching and beating up the opposition, and right wingers rioting on college campuses, etc., you can bet dollars to donuts that a violent act like this would be blamed on the "violent rhetoric" and the "climate" created thereby.
Yeah, you say that, but it's still kinda nice'n'easy to associate the violence with membership of one side of another eh...

Nah, the Americans need another civil war. If the smart ones lose then the rest of the world can isolate the US as a rogue state. :coffee:

While I don't support government mandated prayers, I do have a tolerance for voluntary prayers if that what someone with the floor wants to do.

In the UK Parliament, both the House of Commons and the Senate are opened with mandatory prayers, and they must be Christian prayers. What the fuck is that, UK? http://www.parliament.uk/about/how/business/prayers/

In Ireland, the Dail Parliament is opened, by law, with a prayer - a session may not open without a prayer. What the fuck is this, Ireland?

In Australia, they say the Lord's Prayer before every Senate hearing. What the fuck is this, Australia?

In Canada, they open House of Commons and Senate sessions with a prayer. What the fuck is this, Canada?

Sweden's Parliament has its own Christian chapel and a prayer room. What the fuck is this, Sweden?

Israel's Parliament has a Jewish temple and prayer room. What the fuck is this, Israel?

Turkey's Parliament has a Mosque. What the fuck is this, Turkey?

I mean, leading a prayer and crossing oneself? Ludicrous! Only in America...

That's precisely my point. The fact that this guy was a leftist Bernie Bros says nothing about them in general, and is not the fault of the violent rhetoric coming out of the left these days. However, if the shooter was a Trump supporter, and the victims Democrats, you can't seriously dispute that the major media outlets would be out there suggesting that Trump's rhetoric and the rhetoric of his supporters contributed to a climate of hate, fear and violence that caused the shooter to act... that would be the lead. I think everyone ought to be able to see that. It's what happened when Gabby Giffords was shot, etc. it was all the fault of the "martial rhetoric" of Sarah Palin and other Republicans. So, it's a bit rich to be surprised when, after months of open calls for the assassination of the President and violent resistance to his "regime," that some folks are going to try to blame THAT rhetoric and activity for the shooting.

No the US spends more money. That doesn't relate to strength.

:thinks: When last did the US actually win a war? :thinks:

:ab: The Invasion of Grenada was a 1983 United States–led invasion of the Caribbean island nation of Grenada, with a population of about 91,000 located 160 kilometres north of Venezuela, that resulted in a U.S. victory within a matter of weeks :ab:
