Despite clearly articulated cause and alliance, Obama has declared this sad terrorist act as "Home-grown Extremism". While a very strong argument could be made that ISIS is indeed a Home-Grown example of the Obama/Hill! handling of the Middle-East, it would still be to much a reach to lay this on the citizens of this country. ISIS is burning gays alive, hanging them and broadcasting these terrible acts to the world. It is the intention of ISIS to inflame and inspire others to join them in these sick acts of terror. It has nothing to do with US when they succeed.

The democratic party put gay rights on such a high political pedestal it was only a matter of time before someone drove a truck into it. However, this was an act against Americans, and it needs to be framed and accepted as such. We morn the loss of AMERICAN lives. Out of respect for the dead let us leave the straw-men politics aside. Let us acknowledge our community, commonality and stand against those that are the enemy of us ALL.

We are not our own enemy; after 8 years of Obama, with 8 years of Bush we need to accept that our government would rather divide us as a people in order for it to become stronger in its dealing with our day to day lives, than protect us from those outside who only want to murder US... in any form of that word.

This was not our failing, this was not due to our rights or our personal devices... nor was our government "dark" in intelligence gathered. Our government had a lot of data, but decided not to act. Given the access to the data, the tracking, the scanning, the interviews with the FBI, our government still handled this with stupidity. It did so because it was more concerned with its power over the people than the oath of office which was to protect the people in accordance to the laws we have.

If we do indeed have a strain of "Home-grown Extremism", it exists in our government that has failed to represent us, WE THE PEOPLE in any form of the word, for far to long.
