What do we do differently?
Invade Iraq? Nuke Syria? These killers weren't Syrian. They weren't even Arabs.
Refuse all Muslim refugees and immigrants? These killers weren't refugees or immigrants. It was a natural-born American citizen and his wife. They have more of a right to be here than Ted Cruz.
Do we round up all Muslims? Deport them? Put them in camps? Or do we just make life miserable for them so they'll leave on their own, like the Nazis did to Jews before they stoked up the ovens?
If you are "Right", and Robert is "Wrong" what do we do that's any different than what Obama is doing right now, or what George Bush did before him? Do you think McCain or Romney would have handled it any differently? So far, we have been doing a pretty good job of intercepting terrorists, even though its inevitable some are bound to get through. And we killed or caught both (Boston and San Bernardino) of them.
And we still don't know for a fact they were ISIS terrorists. They certainly didn't go after a strategic or symbolic target. All we really know for sure is that they were domestic terrorists who just happened to be Muslims. Just like the people who bomb abortion clinics and Federal Buildings are usually white, Conservatives who just happen to be fundamentalist Christians.
Think, Rob. Think. With your brain, not your glands.
"What difference does it make?"

- Why choose between "gun violence" and "Islamic terrorism"?
- Yemen has less than half the rate of gun violence as does the US. There has to be a way to work together to lessen it.
- It was radical fucking Islamic terrorism. I so "wanted to see that". You ass...I
