“That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.”
–Edgar Allan Poe

Facts for right wingers http://www.politicususa.com/2015/11/16/president-obama-remarkable-grasp-fight-isis-hes-correct.html
OK…. first "facts for tight wingers" is an oxymoron. Because, you know, they're fact averse morons.
Meant right wingers but tight ass right wingers would do just as well. And before they ban all five year olds from non-Halliburton Middle Eastern countries they might want to put a hold on their usual rush to judgement hysteria. It might save them millions in pampers:

It does seem terribly convenient that a Syrian passport was found and wouldn't a wholesale turning on France's Muslim immigrant population, expanding even further the pool of angry young Muslims to join their ranks, suit them awfully well?
Unlike our rightie friends I'm not going to rush to judgement either. Maybe the passport did belong to a Syrian attacker who entered in the latest wave of refugees. I'm just saying, this is still early days in the investigations and we should exercise caution in what we accept and present and act on as proven fact.
How about it Diaper Duo (yes I'm lookin' at you)?
Moddy is still indisposed, resting on the fainting couch while trying to overcome yesterday's episode.
Like the seed of a noxious bindweed plant (one that can lay dormant in the soil for years before sprouting) we reap what we have sown.
We only have to go back 150 years, on our soil, to revisit the reign of terror on our own indigenous people: riding into sleeping villages killing women and children, and not only killing them, desecrating their bodies and hauling back scalps and other assorted body parts as "trophies" to display in the finest hotels east and west of the Mississippi.
All justified in the name of our God.
It took 3000 dead on American soil to get us to invade the wrong country.
It takes only a few hundred (lazy) French dead to get us all riled up into WWIII.
Ward Churchill? No, Republican Economist and Confidant to Saint Ronnie, David Stockman:
Remember the "Peace Dividend"? Maybe it was just a Frank Luntz focus-group concoction of the Military-Industrial-"Congressional" Complex.
Instead of investing that peace dividend wisely, we funded Saudi Arabia's political/religious perversion by way of gasoline purchases that would fund the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and Osama bin Laden.
And the rest is now, and was, our history.
