#19  Why do you think democrats since Clinton have ruthlessly encouraged illegal and legal immigration from 3rd world shitholes? To submerge the populace and change us forever.

#18  However, the "clean our house" part may prove problematic. We've precious little left with which to deal with our current mess.

#15  We do not give into fear and bigotry, he is right. We also protect those being oppressed. We did not storm the beaches of Normandy and defeat the Germans because we were afraid and bigots. We did it because they threated our existence and we needed to insure bigotry and hate, the Nazis, could not force their way on us. I'm done with PC spin that come from our president. He hates white men, he hates the democracy, he hates Christians, and he is not afraid to use his powers to spread his hate. We must clean up our house, vote all those that support progressiveness out of DC and start rebuilding our democracy.

#14  But we can't give in to fear and bigotry because that's not "who we are™".

#11  Due to it's strategic location, Rouen was no stranger to wars of religion. Of course that fact will be lost to the media and feckless politicians in search of 'motivations.'

#10  ISIS has already claimed the attackers as their soldiers.

Brave, brave lions of Islam! Killing an 84 year old unarmed man. Try doing that to an armed Marine next time.

#9  French president Francois Hollande said the men 'claimed to be from' ISIS while the terror group has claimed responsibility through its news agency.

Wait for: "their true motivation has yet to be determined"

#3  No JQC, they are complete cowards, all the way to the top, be it Hollande, Obama, Merkel, et al.

The West has devolved to a bunch of scum suckers whose only activity is kissing each others ass and stealing/extorting/begging money from the oligarchs and peons.

#2  "The identity or motives were not known."

For crying-out-loud, here we go again. They beheaded a priest during mass and were chanting "Islamoic State." Are these urinalists complete morons.
