    A liberal saying this is oop-level rich.

    Ok. Good for you.

    Americans don't give a shit if Muslims blow up/shoot other Muslims in far off places.

    Less spectacular attacks happen on a daily basis without any Facebook profile pictures getting changed.

    Yeah, like how "Republican hate" was responsible for an Islamic terrorist shooting up a gay nightclub.

    So your theory is that, had people known that the victims were predominantly Hispanic, they wouldn't have given a shit that 50 people were mowed down at a nightclub in Florida? That sounds reasonable.

    Nah. If you can make it about gun control, people will pretend to care.

    The conflict on college campuses between gay and Hispanic groups was interesting to watch though.

    The gay groups wanted exclusivity on victim status, barely acknowledging that the victims were also Hispanic, and the Hispanic groups didn't appreciate it.

    If people don't care about people being killed ... then why do they care about gun control?

    Just because I failed the purity test doesn't mean I'm a liberal.

    For the same reason WrightThinking would make whiskey illegal.

    It's about power and control.

    If a liberal doesn't think something is "needed", and it won't hurt any of their constituencies to tax or ban it, they're happy to regulate it as a way of shaping the world more to their liking.

    It was the getting married and having kids.

    We need to stay strong Sunshine.
