Sure, Jeb looks dumb. But look at that one short little terrorist! Jeb Bush keeps pushing his strange attempt to out-Christian the other Republican candidates, explaining on "Fox & Friends" Monday how Islam is the only religion that breeds radicals anywhere on Earth, so failing to use the magic words "Radical Islam" somehow makes fighting ISIS impossible. Bush was critiquing both President Obama's
Factually true, but this is not how the modern Irish see it. The treatment handed out to the Catholic Irish by Protestant William III was a major theme in their resistance to the British.
This. The right loves to talk about how our gun laws don't work, which, technically is true, because people buy them legally next door and then illegally bring them here.
Which is why when Ireland became a "republic", it also became a de facto Catholic theocracy. Sorry, but as someone with relatives who live both in Cork and in Derry, I can tell you that there's very little daylight between the political and religious identifications of the partisans. The Church still holds a statutorily privileged position in Ireland, though the pedophile priest and Magdalene laundry scandals have definitely damaged that.
C'mon we're more advanced than those essentially rational chimps, sometimes we also fight for the pure civilized pleasure of being sadistic assholes. Us and cats and dolphins.
And just about any other thing that divides us into tribal groups with another tribal group labeled as an "other". It is some odd evolutionary holdover from the lizard brain that may have been useful for survival back when we were competing strains of hominids, but which now threatens it. It's so sad that even when we are aware of its existence, we can't seem to turn it off or reason it away.
You know the terrorist group that pisses me off the most? The Westborough Baptist Thugs. Have you attended a military funeral recently? These creepy bastards are everywhere!

Always upvote slivovice.
Touché.
Jeb? reads history books abous as thoroughly as the Griftzilla from Wasilla reads newspapers.
Their teabagger billionaire governor is on the top ten targets list.
It's not "terrorism" if God is on your side - just ask any terrorist.
Yeah, it's not like you could ever learn something from it.

They aren't terrorists. They are trolls that survive off suing people.
