Terrorism is not a Democratic vs Republican debate. WTF is wrong with some of you crazy Right wing and Left wing people. Where are the middle people? Why does common sense and morality not guide political parties to the middle? I would say that there needs to be a Repeublican and a Democratic combined Co-presidency because there is no 1 perfect candidate in either party!!!

Huh? So republican candidates and republican governors didn't stumble all over each other to make news capitalizing on fear? Denial.

Yes they did. I am not arguing that. Just turn on Fox News and see that. But fear mongering is how some people win elections, especially less democratic ones... But it's extremely naive to not learn from world issues and act like everything is fine and we live in utopia... You must be a Democratic voter and believe socialism is the answer. Just keep creative big government, spending more taxes, and giving away money to welfare.
I would relate myself to being independent. I am not easily swayed by fear.
Back on track. Round up all the terrorists. Good for the French people.

This is the kind of thinking that I don't understand.

Democrats believe socialism is the answer? How? What types of socialism do you agree with and/or participate in? Do you live in an area covered by police, fire, public schools, public libraries, and public roads?

You criticize the democrats for the very things that you cherish and accept from republicans. You make no sense at all I'm afraid.

This was pretty heartwarming

A father and son have the most precious conversation during an interview by french media at the scene of the Bataclan attacks

"Pour protege"

I truly hope no one denigrates this, what with the mention of flowers and all. Consider the sentiment in its simplicity.

Clearly this child has been brought up with zero hate or misguiding towards fellow people.
Can't say the same of the children born who became the people responsible for these attacks.

People become radicalized without, or even in spite of, parental influence.

To a degree yes.
The radicals in question have been influenced since conception.

I don't think you can definitively state this. There are many factors linked to developing into a brainwashed, psychopathic, religious fanatic.

Really?
Religious fanatic says it all.

Are you saying that we wouldn't have emergency services, public schools, libraries and roads if we were governed by republicans?

no I'm saying that it is really ignorant to blather on about socialism when you participate in, pay for and take advantage of socialism.

Edit: I was also pointing out how the elected GOP politicians add to the socialism and that seems to be acceptable

"Drilling for fear makes the job simple."

Republicans are sooo happy this fell into their laps.

Imagine saying Syrian Christians can come but not Syrian Muslims. Oh boy. Doesn't seem to be all constitutional now does it.

For you to say "Republicans are sooo happy about this" is beneath contempt but I guess not unexpected. Conservatives are always enemy number 1 on the AMT.

Have you been paying attention to the things they have been saying? How could you see them salivating and tripping over themselves to capitalize on this politically and not think they are happy about it?

This is the huge problem with the current state of political discourse. When you can only see conservative critique of current policy as trying to capitalize on a tragedy instead of an actual discussion on how to proceed then we as society will never succeed. You must put aside your cynicism and general contempt of conservatives to actually listen to the arguments they are trying to make. Again to suggest that people are happy about this attack because they might achieve an electoral advantage is beyond the pale.

I have listened to plenty of their idiotic arguments.

Here is a perfect example.

Would you personally take in a Syrian refugee actually into your own home without any appropriate background check to verify no connection or support for radical Islamic beliefs??? If so then send Obama your address.
