Of course we know the real reason, it's because they're the footsoldiers for the GOP.

2. Yeah, but, but, but, you can't slam them up against a wall because of how they look!
The GOP needs that "lookin' Muslim" thing to keep their hate-mongering going.

People sulked and didn't vote, handing control of the House and committee chairmanships to the GOP.

7. You got that right...But what can we do now?
My suggestion is contact your county Party/State Party, put your heads together and formulate some sort of a plan....Don't sit on your behinds and wait for someone else to do something....

9. It isn't "terrorism" when white conservatives do it. Just bad apples, you know. Nothing to see here.

13. Not going to drag you off topic, but I oppose it too, so there may be other reasons.
