It’s not that hard to understand.
The Democratic Party doesn’t like America.
They may like their individual neighborhoods, their favorite coffee shop or restaurant, or music festival but that’s not really the same is it?
When was the last time you heard an elected Democrat say anything positive about the United States that wasn’t either strictly performative or that didn’t include some obligatory caveat about our horrible past or persistent inequality or systemic racism?
When it comes to the things that truly make a country a country, things like history, traditions, culture…borders, they’re not impressed. In fact they’re usually hostile.
When they’re protesting they have to remind their side to bring American flags…and then remind them to not burn them.
When you observe institutions or organizations that they control, do they get more patriotic…or less?
When was the last time you heard anything positive about America coming from a liberal college campus?
Don’t get mad at me for pointing out the obvious.
And don’t try to combat this by pointing out flaws with conservatives.
I’m not saying conservatives are without fault, I’m merely saying you never have to question whether or not we actually like the country we’re trying to protect and govern.
And spare me the “Im a Democrat and Im a veteran!” outrage that I know is coming. Yeah Im a veteran too, and you know what, just because you served doesn’t mean you love this country. And even if YOU do…YOUR party doesn’t. And you being the exception to the rule doesn’t help your argument, it proves mine.
So if you’re a Democrat and you’re getting “offended” by this, how about you do something different for a change and instead of using your offense as a substitute for an argument, you actually think about this for a moment and ask yourself how wrong I really am based on what you see being said in every left wing institution in this country.
@DorothyEubank16 The top 5% already pay 60% of all income tax collected. What more do you deadbeats want? Why don’t you Communist move to Cuba and live your dream?
I have, but you have not.
Estimates for the number of people killed in the name of Islam vary drastically, ranging from tens of thousands in modern terror attacks to millions across 1,400 years of historical conflicts, wars, and conquests. Quantifying such a broad and ancient figure is highly subjective, and the vast majority of historical victims were other Muslims. [1, 2, 3]
Modern Islamist Terrorism (1979–Present)
•According to a comprehensive analysis by the French think tank Fondapol, there were nearly 67,000 Islamist terror attacks globally between 1979 and 2024, resulting in at least 250,000 deaths. [1, 2]
•Research on African militant groups shows that Islamist violence has surged recently, with over 150,000 fatalities linked to groups in the Sahel and Somalia alone over the past decade. [1]
•Historical and contemporary databases, including the Global Terrorism Database, allow you to explore specific incidents, casualty counts, and geographic distributions.
Historical and Ancient Conflicts
•The Islamic Golden Age and Expansion (7th–17th centuries): Estimates for deaths during early Arab conquests, the Ottoman Empire, and the Crusades are based on fragmented historical records and vary widely. These conflicts were driven by political empires as much as religious expansion, making exact casualty figures impossible to verify.
•Modern Wars and Persecution: Groups such as ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram have killed tens of thousands of people, primarily in the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa. While targeted groups include Christians and Yazidis, the overwhelming majority of victims have been Muslims killed in sectarian violence and regional conflicts. [1, 2, 3, 4]
For further verification of terrorist statistics, you can review the full Fondapol Islamist Terrorism Study or access the Africa Center for Strategic Studies to track localized, militant-linked fatalities. [1, 2]

@Roger_Negan Democrats will cut off your leg so they can hand you a crutch. Republicans will give you a job so you can stand independently. We are not the same.
Traveling across the district campaigning, we get to stop at all kinds of fantastic businesses. Started this am at Joni’s in Lake Geneva. The food is excellent. If you are in Lake Geneva and looking for some fantastic food, check out Joni’s.
