Dems have released an ad on some tv stations attacking Republicans for calling Islamic terrorism "radical Islam". Fortunately, I only watch FOX so I didn't have to watch/listen to this BS propaganda ad propagated by the left. That is, until now. I finally saw it here in an article though I admit I stopped watching it almost immediately when it started playing because I knew it was BS:
Hell, even 56% of the voters of these democratic candidates have agreed that we are indeed at war with "radical Islam" but the candidates (democratic ones) themselves refuse to acknowledge it. Guess they wanna make sure they don't upset muslims so they will win their votes. Hence, they refuse to call a spade a spade as they should. They need to get their priorities straight. They also think that climate change is a bigger threat to the world than Islamic terrorism. LOL.

Most people believe Evolution not because they themselves are dumb, but cause they trust the "experts" who are feeding them evolutionary fast food, and so they don't bother questioning whether or not it's true.

Overgeneralizing your opponent in order to include people who are *not* your opponent is a bad idea that helps your enemies because they use your blanket targeting as a recruiting tool.
Being mad at people for being more *specific* than you about who the enemy is is dumb and counterproductive.
And rallying about how "incredibly wrong" people in the other party are for taking a stance that your party's leadership used to openly say in recent memory, is silly and dumb.
It has been the policy of the counterterrorism officials in the State Department since 9/11 to not "dignify that movement by calling it what it calls itself. . . . Osama bin Laden himself said that the refusal of U.S. officials to join the rhetorical fight [by using terms such as Radical Islam] made it more difficult to generate recruits."
But who cares what experts think and what cause of action is demonstrated to work?
We should do symbolic gestures to make Republicans feel good, even if they are counterproductive.

I just noticed the best comment under the article. It was at the very top of comment section:
"Liberals: if you truly believe "climate change" is worse than terrorism, pledge right now to sell your car, downsize your home and thus "carbon footprint," and vow never to ride on a plane. If you believe that Syrians are true refugees, take them into your homes. House them, feed them, clothe them, and let them care for your children. Americans are over your glaring hypocrisy, liberals. Live your values. Put up or shut up."

If you think that Muslims need to be eliminated, you should probably go shoot up a Mosque you little pussy. You wouldn't want to be a hypocrite, would you?
I think I'd rather point out how you and Star are acting butthurt over people not using the over-generalized language you want them to- even though right now, Muslims, Arab and non-Arab, even ones you'd probably call 'radical,' are doing far more to fight Isis than you could hope to.
You're acting really, really sore, over people not using a phrase. Think about that for a second. Not using a word you have a problem with, or misusing a word, or even a semantic argument, nothing that insults you, or anyone you know, or anyone period, but just not using a phrase.
And even the only Republican in 20 years who actually showed he could win the presidency and who is way too warlike for probably every liberal here, is not on your side on this.
The reason why people don't use it has been mentioned- it's overly broad, it includes people who aren't our enemies, it includes people fighting our enemies, and we have actual specific names for our enemies so we don't have to rely on inaccurate generalities. Everyone is even on the same page that Isis/Daesh is our enemies who need to be wiped out. And Al Qaeda, and so on. There's no disagreement on that part.
You are, in effect, very angry that people are simply just using different, more precise words. That's an impressive level of thin-skinned, I must say.
Proof I am butthurt about anything and prove I said any of this, or more lies like you lie about everything else? Also your long winded posts are incredibly boring and don't add up to anything, mind trimming the fat? Liar.
