And everything to do with bureaucracies hindered by human frailties and hamstrung by politically correct sensitivities<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know. \u00a0What think you? \u00a0The more I hear, the more this goes to show that the fabricated media template of Evil Red State\/Awesome Blue State is as fictional as the Wizard of Oz. \u00a0A man who appears to have been gay himself, opens fire on a gay nightclub almost exclusively filled with Hispanic Americans. \u00a0The shooter is reported to have made racist comments. \u00a0His gun was purchased legally because he had security credentials as a security guard and was not found guilty by the FBI. \u00a0He praised ISIS, and stated he was murdering because of ISIS, which \u00a0had recently sent out a generic order to all operatives to kill during Ramadan. <\/p>\n

So a potentially gay Muslim extremist with racist tendencies carries out the orders of an Islamic terrorist organization with a gun he legally purchased because he was not guilty of anything that could have hindered a gun purchase since the FBI can\u2019t pass information around about people it has investigated but not convicted. \u00a0And the one thing that might have raised warning flags was, apparently, ignored. \u00a0Hmmm. \u00a0It\u2019s almost like our first thoughts shouldn\u2019t be to push gun control legislation because the real bad guys are Conservative American Christians. <\/p>\n

Maybe I\u2019m just missing a subtle clue. But I get the feeling we\u2019re entering a new phase where whatever happens will immediately be twisted to advance an agenda, no matter how far away from the agenda the event happens to be.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
