    Who really cares. They're ruthless, barbaric Islamic terrorists & one of their followers just killed 50 Americans & wounded over 50 others. Yes, ISIS, the same organized Islamic extremists the leader of the free world, president Obama, dismissively referred to as the JV team. That matters a hell of lot more than arguing about ISIS's birth date & place, don't ya think?

    50 killed and 53 wounded here at home. This one might resonate a bit more for the only candidate promising to be tough, vigilant and most importantly...not import more as Hillary and Obama are doing.

    Obama is Literally a Contradiction in terms.He'll gladly take advice form
    a Community Organizing Bigot like Al Sharpton { little if any college }
    over that of an esteemed Black scholar like Thomas Sowell { Harvard U.,
    Columbia U., and Universiity of Chicago }.

    Trumpo says that he will do everything about everything. People who promise that they sill do every thing about everything end up doing. NOTHING!,,,,,

    Syria OR Libya. ? Freedom Fighters under the al Qaeda mask are not easily
    pigeonholed.Isis is an Obama/Hillary invention. They helped to make them
    available and ready for exploitation.Like the Arab Spring.

    I think this is the time to show some compassion and not attempt to take advantage of a national tragedy to score political points. How can someone be so heartless as to turn this into a political talking point while those 50 bodies are still warm? Some people have to sympathy for human grief.

    In the meantime, the Left busily has to wrap itself in manufactured controversy over an unnecessary bill discriminating against the Transgender community that the entire country and world see as nothing more than religious right-wing hate, and all these homegrown ISIS supporters have to do is follow up on the lead when the perfect storm comes together, when he sees two gays kissing. Between keeping Transgenders out of the bathroom, to watching them kiss in public, may have been too much for the young hater to take. So, thanks to the hate propaganda by these right-wing radical religious groups and ISIS, the perfect storm happened. Thanks guys! You really (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) this one up good this time.

    I'm not criticizing him for not being politically correct. I'm simply describing the situation.

    Its not a political talking point. Its an immediate danger to the nation that Obama and Clinton ARE NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT much less doing anything about it. The problem with comments like yours is, you think lighting candles and singing and making posters is the proper way to handle these situations. Sorry, the way to handle these situations is immediate action not candles and crying. Trump is 100% correct. What is Obama doing to prevent another attack like this. We know yesterday he was busy playing golf, and today he was busy blaming our second amendment. Any idea when he is going to do something about radical islam? Oh wait the President hasn't been able to even muster the courage to say the words radical islam much less do something about it.
    As I correctly predicted at the last shooting, this would happen again and it did. It happened because our leader is not handling our nations safety. He is in way way over his head. He should step down but his arrogance wont let him.
    It is obvious we have to continue to be attacked as long as Obama is president. Our only hope is to elect trump and wait for this anti American nightmare we call the Obama Presidency to be over. The guy cant even name the enemy. If he cant name them, then he sure as (*)(*)(*)(*) cant fight them.

    Two years ago, I told them they were (*)(*)(*)(*)ing up when they refused to put boots on the ground. They told me I was wrong and Obamas pitty pat bombing campaign would work. Terrorists are now among us and routinely killing us on our own soil. This is squarely on Obamas shoulders and the guy has the absolute gall to come out and blame the second amendment when the problem is blatantly with radical Islamic terrorists.

    I agree with the left being concerned about this attack since it goes straight to one of their voter blocks. The LGBT and the families and friends who support them. Has anyone seen CAIR come out so quickly and denounce a terrorist attack before? They know and the left know this was an Islamic terrorist attack and they need to get ahead of this to control the narrative.

    Trump is a big mouth.. Now he's tweeting that Obama should resign.. Trump wants to be the center of attention even on the dead bodies of 50 gay people.

    And that's why I'm voting for him. Finally someone who isn't a pathetic coward to afraid to say the hard truths for fear of being viewd as "politically incorrect".

    - - - Updated - - -

    By that logic so is Obama.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I know right?!? Obama should be ashamed of himself for trying to make this another anti Constitution issue.

    really? You think its time for compassion and candles? To all the readers, if I happen to be killed in a terrorist attack, please do not light candles, put teddy bears at my murder site, or sing songs for me. Please demand that our leader immediately use overwhelming force against terrorists. That way we can take solace in the fact that we did the best we could to ensure there is no more need for people to "show compassion" for the dead.
    The last thing I want over my dead body is terrorists seeing videos of us mourning at their victory site. I prefer them seeing the business end of American justice.
    Light your candle if it makes you feel better but as I said before just like now, candle lighting isn't going to do anything except inspire the next terrorist. This attack is on leftist failure to act.

    Trump said the truth and Obama skirted the issue and gave us a BS PC response. I'll take honesty over pandering thank you very much.

    right meanwhile Obama is doing absolutely nothing except blaming guns and not radical islam. Ill take the guy whoat least has the courage to say the words radical Islamic terrorism.
    Obama is a dangerous incompetent fool who's lackadaisical attitude towards protecting America got another 50+people killed today. So enough of the Trumpo comments. You lefties have demonstrated enough failure for one decade. Now your ideology is getting innocent people killed on American soil....routinely. Still blaming guns and not radicals pulling the trigger.

    I didn't say I was a victim. READ MY POSTS FROM THE LAST SHOOTING. We wouldn't be needing to show respect for these dead because they should still be alive.
    Excuse me for wanting to eliminate the threat immediately so we don't have more victims. Why don't you feel the same way? Im sure every one of those victims would have preferred our President to have removed the threat prior to this attack so that they would still be alive. Im sure every one of their family members feels the same way.
    I show respect for the dead by not letting their deaths be acceptable or the people responsible to get away with it. You seem to fine with candles and blaming guns right?

    There is no way Obama couldn't easily have carpet bombed the routes that
    Isis was openly travelling.Like what we did to Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War { 1991 }
    We handed Saddam Republican Guard and pathetic ragtag { rated the 4th strongest
    in the World } army the Highway to Hell { road to Baghdad from Kuwait }.
    But Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf was told in specific terms NOT to go to
    Baghdad.The Mission was to free Kuwait and weed out Saddam's army.
    Obama could easily have mounted an Air Force sortie campaign for days and
    cut off any route Isis needed for survival.Obama could have had them cut off from
    any resupply line and needed recruits.Obama did the exact opposite.He downplayed the
    significance of this new Emboldened al Queda and Lied about Air Strikes.Our Air Force
    was issued new kinds of military protocol as to air strikes.Each potential air strike
    had to be radioed in and approved.The excuse being it was to protect civilian casualties.
    Meanwhile Isis was know to break every known moral code in war.Going into towns to
    pilfer and or destroy Christian relics and personally use civilians as examples of
    Barbarism. Obama is either the Dumbest,most shallow of Presidents or sides more
    with Muslim sympathies than his own Electorate.

    With all due respect, you don't know what Obama or Clinton are saying or doing about this situation, or even that anything can be said or done to fix this problem. You only know that Obama has made public statements, as every President does after a national tragedy, and that Trump has tweeted. Frankly, I'd rather all of them wait until more is known about the situation and then speak intelligently based on facts, and not emotions.

    The shooter was an American. Just how are we going to go about preventing Americans from killing other Americans, when an American is motivated to do so? We can't stop it in the slums of Chicago. We can't stop it in Oklahoma City, New York City, or any other city. We can't stop it in the movie theaters of Louisiana or Colorado. We can't stop it on college campuses or in elementary schools. We can't stop it. It's going to continue to happen and the best we can hope for is to be lucky enough not to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    Saying this was the result of Islamic extremism isn't going to make a bit of difference. The problem we have is that some people have a significant lack of respect for other people and their lives. How does the government fix that? What could Obama say that will stop mentally ill, chronically violent, or ideologically provoked people from killing? What could anyone do or say? Nothing.

    All we know is that the guy claimed it was in loyalty to ISIS even though his father said religion had nothing to do with it, that his wife claimed he was violent, he was being watched by the FBI because of connections to another suicide bomber, but somehow was allowed to work in a government security job and purchase guns legally in the last few days. The only good thing that has come from this incident is that this particular shooter can't harm anyone else, because he's dead. This incident didn't happen because of who sits in the White House, who is running for President, or what someone says on the news or on Twitter. This happened because a guy decided he could kill people he didn't like and there was nothing anyone could do about it, except react, once it started.

    I guess the lesson today will be to see and hear how this Lamestream Mainstream media
    tries to defend Obama's remarks.Meaning they are paid to shill for Obama.Will probably refuse
    to call this what it is but what Obama is now AGAIN relegated to.It was a Hate Crime.
    Nothing more than Workplace Violence.
    The American people are sick & tired of this silly Obama nonsense.
    I saw yesterday where Gallup had Obama's Economic Approval at 54%
    I say that had a lot to do with this Event.Why it's a False Flag.Obama saw an
    Opportunity to exploit his Gun Grabbing agenda.The time was rive for another
    Sandy Hook to make Obama seem prudent as far as Banning Assualt weapons.

    Its the latter. I think Obama is a very calculating sympathizer of our enemies. Thus the pitty pat bombing campaign. He tries to give the illusion of fighting ISIS yet cant even muster the term radical islam.....after 8 years of this (*)(*)(*)(*).
