    Must restore bodily fluids. Purity Of Essence. Peace On Earth. POE.

    That's what is really needed: some kind of "recall code" that will get the radicals to calm down and value world peace.

    Don't see it happening though.

    The thing is though, the deli terrorist looks more like he from East St Louis than the Middle East

    I still can't believe the Malachi Brothers are the prime suspects in all of this.

    Sure, they were troublemakers, but they seemed good-natured. Never thought they'd become so radicalized.

    I wasn't going to go there, but how do you profile these folks?

    That ship sailed a long time ago, Boom, but I'm heartened that you're beginning to understand the repercussions of reckless language.

    It's a Holy War for the Jihadists.

    Talking sweetly to them isn't going to make them like us.

    We can say we're not at war with Islam all we want. But, a not insignificant population of Muslims is at war with Western values. And, stifling our Western values to appease them is a victory for them. It doesn't appease them. It encourages them.

    Islam is an ideology that encompasses more than religion. It's all encompassing. It dictates politics, law, values, speech, and social norms. Islam does not allow for separation between Mosque and State.

    We defeated Nazism, Communism, and Apartheid because we acknowledged that they were evil ideologies, that dehumanized people, and robbed them of their freedom and human rights.

    Where Islam is ascendent, it does the same, but we refuse to say this because it is wrapped up in religion.

    It appears a police/military assault is underway at the printing facility where the two brothers are holed up.

    CNN is reporting that they evacuated the schools around the area first before going in.

    Make that dual assaults.

    Watching this live is really quite something.

    I guess it's time to set up internment camps for the 12 million peaceful Muslims who live in the United States, huh?

    And now the two brothers are dead.

    Unclear on the hostages or at the grocery store.

    They defeated themselves, by and large. We didn't give a shit what Nazism was doing before it declared war on us.

    And a communist nation had far more to do with "defeating" Nazism than we ever did, FWIW.

    We really tend to give ourselves WAY too much credit for things.
