I keep wondering if my "moderate" Republican family members understand that groups like Hamas and Al Qaida ALSO have entire branches of their organizations dedicated to education, charity, medicine, etc. But the fact they turn a blind eye to their violent, psychotic cousins planning terrorist attacks make them complicit. How are "moderate" Republicans any different?
