First they came for the vegetarians...

ISIS hates vegetarians. Who knew?

“I have no doubt that he loves his country. I have no doubt that he’s a patriot. But his primary job as president of the United States is to defend this country and he’s failing miserably.”

The South Carolina senator said that part of that failure stems from labeling the threat posed by ISIS and other terrorist groups as “violent extremism” instead of “radical" Islamists.

“They’ve adopted a theory of religion that’s 1,000 years old that requires a worldwide caliphate that will purify the Islamic religion, kill or convert every Christian and Jew and [font color=green]vegetarian[/font] in their way,” Graham said. “They're not going to stop unless somebody stops them.”

I'd hate if they rounded up all the vegetarians and left us with the vegans...

What we'll have to do is make safe houses for the vegetarians. We'll put them in slaughter houses. Nobody will think to look for them there. A good fake ID and some breath spray that smells like meat, and we can get them across the border. Most of them, anyway.

Okay, a few can be saved, I'm sure!

No prejudice against the vegans, either. We can help them all. I'm not sure about those wheat eaters, though. There may be no saving those nuts.
