re: #14 klys and whatnot

Political assassination because every man has their breaking point, presumably related to guns = good.

Political violence by Muslims = terrorism.

I just can’t even.

I never even made that connection until you just pointed out. The old “One person’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter” meme.

Sorry to rant, but I’ve just been so frustrated with many of my countrymen’s reaction to electing a black man president. And let’s be honest, this is what’s at the heart of most of this.

It’s the same bullshit as people who call the Civil War “The War of Northern Aggression”. They’re in denial about the root cause of a problem.

EDIT: After re-reading that last paragraph, I’m not really sure I’m making my point clearly.
