I am so proud of my parties continued support of this bill. And people talk as though us Republicans do not care about people all over the world. In fact, you can see massive evidence of this fact in our desire to save people in every corner of this planet by taking out this radical, murderous, fanatical group of Islamics who do not even care if they kill other Muslims in their cowardly acts of mass murder. They make the lives of 95% (hopefullly) of other peace loving Muslims who could not be more embarrassed by this tiny sect of fanatic Muslims more difficult and they are a danger to this planet.
What is truly shameful, and history has taught us this over and over, is that there is always a group of people who think they can talk to the enemy – see Hitler and Chamberlain – and their complete lack of historic knowledge should, all by itself, make their opinions moot.
Good luck to those people that know that this is an enemy that is the first since the kamikaze that will not quit until they are severely depleted in their ability to kill all peoples.
