Just like the terrorists who cut off a child's arm if they see a polio vaccine mark on it.

Edited to add:

This appears to be a myth told about the "enemy." I googled it and the thing that came up most was the movie Apocalypse Now.

I'm a little embarrassed to have believed that this happened when it seems that it did not. My apologies to everyone.

they, including the U.S. Gov't has probably done far more horrific things......Think Abu Graib????

My friends in Europe tell me that there are several countries that Cheney/Rumsfeld can never visit, due to the fact that when they step off their plane they will be immediately be taken to the Hague for prosecution of War Crimes against Humanity.......

when do you think that the public, especially the TrumpHumpers are finally going to wake the fuck up.......

I worry that in the next few days and weeks that things will get TRULY ugly nation wide........The election is seven months away, and at the rate these assholes are progressing, that is a long, long, long ways away......

Talking about the election is somewhat of a mute point. I believe that they have it already rigged and in the bag, otherwise they wouldn't be so confident dispensing their shit on us.......It is obvious that they aren't the least bit worried about the results of the "election".......

They drank the Kool-Aid in 2016 and there is no antidote. However, other people (esp. the swing voters) are finally seeing the stupidity and the bottomless evil of Donald Trump. But yeah, November is a long way from now, and anything can happen...

until the TrumpHumpers start losing loved ones to his so called HOAX

Of course "they" will twist it and start proclaiming it was a conspiracy between Hillary's emails and Obama's Tan sports jacket to take out Republicans....

OH, wait a second, they already are doing that........

...I want to go into demolition. I want to push the plunger to take down RNC headquarters--with the very last two breathing repuglikans inside, swimming in their own feces. I want that entire crime ring dismantled and destroyed; I want to obliterate the dim consciousness of every neo-Nazi tRumpite who now walks the earth, using whatever blunt instrument will do the job. They need to depart this earth in abject humiliation, with their Dear Leader leading the way, setting the example.

Is that too much to ask?

This is just more of the same. Having school shootings is better than giving up the guns.

The conspiracy theorists are almost better people in a way. Their CT shows they are not comfortable with the above and they'd rather deny it ever happens.

I don't think Republicans understand what freedom really is. Why should the cost of freedom be tyranny and fear?

I believe America was supposed to be freedom FROM tyranny, not freedom THROUGH tyranny.
