Sorry, make that "whatever you need to repeat to yourself over and over."

As I said to bluebyrd, contrary to some comments, repetition of a lie doesn't make it the truth.
Great. Tell that to all the pinheads who refuse to call Islamic terrorism for what it is.


Remember that goof who assassinated an abortion doctor some years back? No one was afraid to call it what it was, religious terrorism. Meanwhile, Muslims are killing people by the dozens in Western cities but of course it has absolutely nothing to do with religion. Nah, instead we get the constantly repeated litany of excuses. He's just a lone wolf. He was mentally ill. He was feeling all disenfranchised. It's workplace violence. He was on drugs. The leftist dregs who constantly dredge up these excuses are some of the most base cowards I've seen.
Which demonstrates to me that the group that truly fears Islam is the left. Why else would they be helping them do their dirty work. How is it, that in 2016, it is becoming a crime to even openly criticize Islam in some Western countries? Why are we essentially commanded to tolerate their intolerance of our culture(s)? In Canada, it's now verboten to have organized prayer in our public schools. Been that way for almost 30 years now and I have no problem with that. Where my problem starts is the fact that organized Islamic instruction is permitted in our public schools, during school hours! That bit of religious "tolerance" is brought to you by the very same ideology that banned organized prayer in public schools.
The reason for the ban was to prevent children of minority faiths from being singled out and ostracized in the schoolyard. Not sure how permitting full-on religious instruction does anything to carry on the spirit of that policy. But it does provide yet another example of how the much vaunted leftist/progressive ideology continues to collide with itself and just how willing they are to throw their principles under the bus when it suits them.

I do. And I not only bash Islamic terrorism, I bash Islam itself as a foolish wish-fulfillment/revenge fantasy. Just like Christianity.

What I do not do is hold all Muslims accountable for what a tiny fraction of them do. Just as I do not hold all Christians accountable for the abortion clinic murderers or Dylann Roof or that nutbar who shot up a Sikh temple thinking they were Muslims.

I got no say in how Canada runs its society. Y'all do a lotta things that strike me as odd or just plain stupid, but it's your country, your culture. Seems to me y'all done a pretty good job all in all. I'm confident y'all can work out the bugs.

well obama is the one who said how good he is at killing people
so that explains the mass murder part
(also he supports gun free zones where these mass murders always seem to be committed)
and much of the so called free world is terrified of the guy...
drones, and his supporting attack dogs like Hilarity, I suppose account for that

rumor has it he is caligulated to the extreme
so the anti gay thing is just a maybe
but thats common amoungst republicans too they say...

say, what political persuasion where the deceased?
maybe this was an anti log cabin republican mass murder

I'll just leave this here:

President Obama’s second inaugural was the first to cite the gay rights movement as an essential chapter of the American story. That “most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal,” he said, “is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall.”

The reference was to the Stonewall Inn riots, a multi-day spectacle of street violence that followed a 1969 police raid of a Manhattan gay bar. The conventional retelling describes police brutality so vile New York’s long-suffering gays could not help but respond in kind, and in doing so initiate a fresh era in the struggle for sexual equality. But as is often the case with sanctified anecdotes, reality was more ambiguous. Stonewall was certainly notorious, but as much for its mafia ties and role in the city’s sex trade as its homosexual clientele. Nuances like these provide consistent headaches to anyone attempting to retell Stonewall’s story — consider the contentious reception that greeted Roland Emmerich’s recent effort to commemorate it in film.

What happened in Orlando, in contrast, was entirely bereft of nuance. As the bloodiest instance of anti-gay violence in American history, Orlando does not simply overshadow Stonewall, it makes pathetic mockery of it and all previous conceptions of what homophobia is.

Our new homophobia - J.J. McCullough J.J. McCullough » Archive


Today, progressives insist homophobia is a global sickness, not an Islamic one. Today we mourn the dangers of failing to acknowledge bigotry’s spectrum.

It's all done with rope and wooden pulleys all driven by a stone aquduct delivering just enough mountain water to turn it arround making the scribbling we see on the screen.

ah... stone ground mountain spring water....
er...
beer!

love the water wheel comparison
those lifting buckets save so much wear and tear on the elbows...
saves 'em for writing
