  1. Shame that we don’t have a real President. We have a paranoid, bigot, racist, white supremacist nazi supporter/enabler (all of which flies in the face of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights – if not the law) and one that’s capable of that kind of perspective. Instead – he has chosen the path to follow along with those “profound losers.”

  2. An evil heart Trumps the fortuity of one’s place of birth.

    There’s a myriad of reasons why humans end up fitting the profile Jonna Ramey writes about.

    For now, let others analyze and figure out why they turn out that way.

    As far as we should be concerned they are enemies of America, no different than the American Nazis who belonged to the German American Bund* in the 1930’s. No different than the White Supremacists who blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, on April 19, 1995 and killed 168 defenseless people, 19 of whom were children under the age of six. They are, by any definition, terrorists and none among them are “fine,” people. They are one and the same as the terrorists who flew four planes, one into the south tower and one into the north tower of the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and one was caused to crash land, all on September 11, 2001.

    And rather than treating them as if they were marching and singing to Peter, Paul and Mary and Kumbaya lyrics, they should be treated as a gang of terrorists conspiring to deny and violate the constitutional rights of millions of Americans, to commit murder, assault, terroristic threatening, and hate crimes.
