Can you see me rolling my eyes? If you think it's "politicizing" it to talk of how to stop it, then you're the nut and that's your problem.

Obama is going to issue a statement soon. I can't wait. Let's see if I can nail this: He won't name the enemy again, he'll caution us to not brush all members of the religion of peace with the same brush, and he'll hint at it being a hate crime instead.

Who cares what our POTUS says?
He couldn't get something right by accident.
In a few more months that delusional incompetent will be on the scrap heap of US history. Right now they are probably in some war room trying to figure out a way to turn this tragedy into a gun issue when it's clearly an issue of terrorism. Guns just happen to be weapon of choice this time, but it could easily be bombs, poison, planes, dirty bombs, or whatever else next time. Of course, while they are doing that, they are also probably busy in another room issuing visas to people that can't wait to join the war against us on US soil.

A friend of mine posted this on Facebook this morning. I fear the message is to late for PaceAdvantage, so just in case it is not, here it is.
Lord knows there are plenty of politics that will swell today following last night's unspeakable tragedy in Orlando. I'll spare you that here. I would just remind people today to filter what you here on cable news, appreciate the gravity of the situation and remember a time when our country rallied to be defined as Americans, rather than defined as Conservatives or Liberals.
It's time to appreciate we all work really hard and this life is not about advancing one single agenda. It's more about modeling the delicate balance of compassion and accountability - with the key word being "modeling", not "advancing".
The reality is that it's likely there will be more Orlando's in the coming months. What we do will be more important than what we say. Resist the simplicity of resting at one end of the spectrum. Model balance. Compassion and accountability. Food for thought today. Peace.

I've been threatened with getting banned for a lot less than the tactics he demonstrates here in creating a brawl. It's not really a matter of liberals and conservatives, but more of an individual simply being an asshole.

Where is the ignore button when you need one? H4C and Mostie would be the only two I would want to silence. I actually think they hate anyone who doesn't think like them.

I hope you are correct, but if crooked Hillary gets in, he may become a Supreme Court Justice because of his expertise on constitutional law interpretation.

Well, the emphasis was on "hate" of LGTB and guns, nothing on Islam. Called it terrorism, siad the motivation is still unclear except clearly there was "hate." They're going for hate crime terrorism instead of Islamic terrorism.

He has said he is not interested, and I believe him. He can make big bucks making speeches as ex-president, and play golf all the time. As a judge he would actually have to show up for work.

Very good. 
I am at a loss with these ongoing, senseless, endless massacres to say anything, anymore- besides to pray for the innocent victims and their stunned, appalled, mourning families.

As expected, Obama mentions the "easy availability" of guns as a main part of the event.
Not that it's relevant - since the perp worked in the field of security.....

From the Washington Post:
Quote:
The ex-wife of the 29-year-old man suspected of killing 50 people in a Orlando nightclub early Sunday said that he was violent and mentally unstable and beat her repeatedly while they were married.
...
She said in the few months they were married he gave no signs of having fallen under the sway of radical Islam.

A non-sequitur by this brain-dead president if there ever was one. (But I suppose it was the best excuse his teleprompter could come up with.  ) But you're absolutely right: He was a licensed armed security guard!

He had a license to work as a security officer, and also a concealed carry permit. I'm sure the latter will set off the usual political fireworks.
