When you add a word to another word, it does not change the meaning of that is being used!

Every GOP'er wants Obama to add the word "radical" to the terrorist actions. My thought is why? Trump is an idiot and adding "HUGE" to that phrase, does not change the fact he is an idiot! It goes to shows how the GOP folks try to make them sound smarter, which we all know they are not!

They have fussed about use of the "radical" adverb for several years now. A lot.

Is there any chance that studies have been done showing that if potential gun buyers (their main audience) think that some scary, well-trained assassin is liable to show up anywhere, at anytime, to mow them down, they will buy more guns? Bigger guns, louder guns, guns that shoot lots and lots of bullets, and cost lots of dollars?

I apologize. I shouldn't be so cynical. I am feeling very sad about the tragedy in Orlando, and want desperately to never wake up to news like that, ever again.
