ISIS Has Brought the War to the U.S.

I vote for the most acceptable candidate who has a chance to win. I would support a war surtax; if none is proposed, so be it.

so you support increased taxes to shore up your argument, but in the booth, you're going to be voting for tax cuts even if the nation is at war. does that pretty much cover it?

I'll vote for the best available candidate according to my assessment. I have never found a perfect candidate in keeping with my views, and I doubt you have either. I also favor increased immigration and a national income floor, but no candidate has proposed those.
 
How can you say that Jack..............

There is no link between the shooters and ISIS


ISIS did not being the war top the USA..........

It was just two misguided kids with guns who were responsible.........

And not ISIS who gave the command to make a terrorist attack on the USA

ISIS has called on its sympathizers to wage jihad wherever they are.

i truly doubt that you'll ever actually vote for paying for the wars that you consider to be essential, even though you claim that this is something you support. but, yes, i also haven't found a perfect candidate.

Sanders pretty much has, though he has little chance of winning. he's too far left to be a viable presidential candidate on the US political spectrum. of course, he doesn't support perpetual US involvement in the Middle East at this point.

When and if the authorities establish a direct link between ISIS and the shooters..........Then you could say ISIS has brought the war to the USA............

Jack...........Even ISIS has not taken credit for the shooting..............don't you think that says a lot?

Where is the direct link?

No direct link required. That is not the ISIS paradigm.

SAN BERNARDINO RAMPAGE

From pharmacy student to suspected terrorist: Malik’s baffling journey



Before she moved to the U.S., Tashfeen Malik puzzled friends in Pakistan with her changes. An official said one possibility is that she was already radicalized when she became a bride.

 
Jack without a direct link you cannot say ISIS has brought the war to the USA................But in time (God For Bid) you might be right..............But right now........as it is...........perception is not reality
 
imyoda said:
Jack.........You got it backwards...........she pledges to ISIS is not ISIS giving her the green light.............THAT would be a direct link.........

ISIS has issued a general call for its sympathizers everywhere to wage jihad. The San Bernardino two did just that. Others will follow. Just as email eliminated the need to send an actual physical letter, the ISIS warfare model eliminates the need for chain of command or orders. ISIS has come to the US.

REALLY, Jack.............You either do not understand........or you are a guy who never quits..........

BTW

The NYT's........I'm proud of you Jack.............Now you will get real news........most of the time:)

You're the one who doesn't understand. Your paradigm is obsolete.

And the US has gone all over the place bringing its brand of death to innocent civilians. Someone needs to tell the Americans to mind their own business and give everyone a break.

A paradigm cannot be obsolete.........it can be poor or does not apply

pointing out that you won't vote for increased taxes to fund the war that you support is not an insult. however, i doubt that we're going to come to a point of agreement, so good night.

their sectarian war has been going on in one form or another for more than a thousand years. our best bet is to stay out of it. however, my point is that the next intervention is exceptionally unlikely to produce different results than the others.

It would be nice, if we could.

Please cite an instance when I have questioned the sincerity of your expressed views. When you do that it's tantamount to calling me a liar. The insult has become tiresome.

no matter what you claim to support here, you will vote for candidates who support cutting taxes during wartime. is this incorrect?
