ISIS seems to be a magnet for bloodthirsty little psychopaths

who want to play out there fantasies.

We may have created the conditions that enabled this group to come into existence (though not all of them) but that's not exculpatory in the least. The responsibility for the shit they're perpetrating lies squarely with them.

Yes, I'm against military action against them by the U.S. It strikes me as a fool's errand, a rinse and repeat action, a groundhog day thing, but they are the ones choosing to take the actions they're taking.

Fuck 'em.

ISIS, the Bundy gang, the Tea Party: the only difference among them is the deity they claim to worship, but actually treat such deity with utter disrespect because of their wanton violence, hatred of those who disagree with them, and the relentless pursuit of totalitarian rule.

the tea party is comprised largely of old white people- tools for the Koch brothers and their partners in crime. ISIS is reveling in mas murder.. that's a substantial difference.
