The fact that these two guys got caught and stopped shows people were being viligent.
Exactly agreed, however the point you are missing is that the current "narrative" (i.e. our focus on Muslims instead of EVERYONE) makes it less likely that these people would have been caught. The current narrative is making us less safe
In all these race games, we forget that real lives are at risk.
The "Race Game" as you call it is perpetrated by the GOP types trying to shift all attention and blame to Muslims.
The way I see it, no one in America doubts that domestic terrorists exist..
This is where you are wrong. The current narrative "downplays" domestic terrorists and focuses majority of attention at a disproportionate level on Muslims. That is the problem. You can't scream Muslim terrorists 99% of the time and then say in the next breath "We take all terrorism seriously". that is being disingenuous.
The way I see it, no one in America doubts that domestic terrorists exist. But they arent often guided by religious beliefs. Pages like Occupy Democrats and the left love to say "white Christians".
But none of these shootings were done in the name of Christ. Someone tried to say Tim McVeigh was a Christian, white terrorist. No, he wasn't a Christian..
Ahh the True Scotsman logical fallacy. Was wondering when that was going to come up.
When someone steps into a mosque just once in their entire life, or is of Arab descent, or was born in a Muslim country or even has parents that came from a Muslim country we are quick to label them Muslim. However we don't use the same logic in describing Christians. Tim McVeigh was confirmed raised Roman Catholic. If he were raised Muslim he would be labeled Muslim regardless of if he professed to be an atheist. So "liberals" are just using the same logical standards that conservatives are using but conservatives just don't like it.
If we are to stop all the bad things from happening, then we need to call things as they are. You tell me my point makes us more dangerous?
I think the left is playing a dangerous game. The want to play the political correctness game and deny that these people killing in the name of Allah.
There is a very real Muslim threat. Isis IS here. They're being investigated by the FBI in every single state.
Trump tries to put on a temporary ban from the 7 countries Obama and the country decided were the largest state sponsors of terror. Instead he's called a racist.
He wants to build a wall and add border security. Instead he's called racist.
The left does not care what Trump does. Their single goal is to destroy Trump and get him impeached.
If we are to stop all the bad things from happening, then we need to call things as they are. You tell me my point makes us more dangerous?.
The reason your point makes us more dangerous is because you are logically inconsistent. You use one set of standards when something fits your narrative and a completely different set of standards for things that do not.
All I ask is that you simply apply the same logic and reasoning and "standards" to everything. Apparently that is too much for the GOP.
There is a very real Muslim threat. Isis IS here. .
You are clueless to the argumentative problem with the above statement. YOu are basically equating all MUSLIMS to ISIS in the above statement. Your narrative and your tiny mind can't help but view Muslims as dangerous. There are 3.3 Million Muslims in the country. If there were a "credible" Muslim threat that you keep alluding to then where are the thousands upon thousands of daily attacks? Let me put this in perspective for you. There are only 1.3 Million law enforcement officers in the US. So Muslims in this country outnumber the law enforcement by almost 3 to 1.
So if what you say is true, where are all the attacks?
They're being investigated by the FBI in every single state..
What we are arguing is that the data and facts show that domestic terrorism is more of a problem then ISIS. And as such resources should be allocated accordingly. Why is this even an argument? Oh right, I forgot because your side is being emotional and not data driven.
Trump tries to put on a temporary ban from the 7 countries Obama and the country decided were the largest state sponsors of terror. Instead he's called a racist.
Really? That is why he was called a racist? Because he tried to put a temp ban on 7 Muslim countries, countries comprised of States that had nothing to do with 9/11.
He wants to build a wall and add border security. Instead he's called racist.
He is called a racist because he called all Mexicans rapists, murderers, and criminals and speaks about them in other deragotory fashions. He also supports policies like "Stop and Frisk" which is super racist and UNCONSTITUTIONAL and hurts the black and brown communities more so than the "crime" it is supposed to prevent.
*sigh* why do I even bother arguing the obvious. You are part of the problem. Rather than argue from a point of honesty you are arguing from a distorted reality in which you casually ignore the real reasons.
The left does not care what Trump does. Their single goal is to destroy Trump and get him impeached.
Quite the opposite. The Left Cares what Trump does because Trump's actions are scaring the begeezus out of all of us. He has spent more time playing golf in one month than Obama has in 4 years!!!! He has classified national security briefings in public at his country club during a national security crisis (N Korea missile launch). He has spent more time on the golf course than he has getting Intel Briefs and has publically stated he prefers to get his Intel from Fox News (this is akin to preferring bologna to fresh cut steak). He has threatened our allies, he has ties with Russia that should be investigated, his staff have questionable racial views and backgrounds, he keeps tweeting stuff that he shouldn't as President, he keeps spouting EASILY VERIFIABLE FALSEHOODS in press conferences, and he keeps displaying behaviors that hint strongly at mental instability (meglomania and extreme narcissism)....
Trump is coming off as incompetent and a man child and it is scaring the hell out of us and at this point I'd rather have Pence than Trump simply because at least Pence is sane. So please stop acting like the Left has no grounds for its viewpoints. And truth be told, many GOP types are now regreting their votes as well...
