    Yeah, a bunch of "we're going to kill the terrorists and take back America!" Slogans, buzzwords, and catchphrases.

    No actual ideas on what they're going to do differently from Obama, how they will do it, and who is going to pay for it.

    It makes me laugh when Democrats fret about "who's going to pay for it." I wish they would ask that question WAY more often.

    Oh, their answer -- "Someone else" -- is always on the table.

    Things like "We'll carpetbomb them until we break them" get said in these debates. When the obvious followup question is asked to that - "What about the innocent men, women, and children that would result from that kind of strategy?", first, you get the boos from the audience, because obviously we wouldn't carpet bomb any of the innocent people, stop being mean to our candidate, you liberal mouthpiece. Then the candidate says "We'll use precision carpetbombing, and be sure of our targets, stay away from hospitals and schools." Which simply concretes the fact that they have No Friggin' Idea what it means to carpetbomb someone. It's all "we'll hit them harder", "we'll kick them the hell out of there", all that agressive BS schoolyard talk from a stage full of people who never wore a uniform and have no clue what they're talking about.


    If you look up carpetbombing in wikipedia, you get this image:

    So where are the not-Isis majority in these cities they have occupied riding this out and staying safe?

    Partially, though posting an actual comment rather than just linking somebody else's words might help.

    But, Mom and Dad, and no one att he Mosque had any cue:

    Mr. Marquez, 24, has told investigators that he and an attacker, his longtime friend and neighbor, Syed Rizwan Farook, had been discussing radical Islam since 2007. They made plans in 2011 and 2012 to launch deadly attacks on the college they had attended and on a busy California freeway.

    Yes, it is sad that YF posts that way.

    I know. There I go digging into the site rules again.
