Bring on the drones and airstrikes. Of course, like all of their ilk, at heart they are cowards, killing innocents and then hiding amongst civilians. To me, this is the most despicable aspect of all terrorists. If you want to fight, then uncover your faces, identify yourself and truly fight rather than taking innocent hostages and hiding. What scum.
Yes !!!
Hey Foxfire, sick to the stomach over this, what on earth must his family be going through.
What’s really sad, Chips, is that apparently they think the beheadings no longer create as much shock value so now have to come up with something new. And unfortunately, it is true.
Exactly Foxfire, that they thought beheadings weren’t shocking enough …. really, these people need to be eliminated.
I hate to even acknowledge that they are “people”. I have rarely in my life used the term “evil” but it is fitting here. Simply despicable. Can’t begin to imagine what this must be like for his family.
Congrats on your #1 FoxfireTX. Agree 1000%
Reminds of me the other hooded klowns on other side of the ocean.
Au ⭐ recipient……Yes!
Good Afternoon Chips
Afternoon Roberta!
Hi everyone. Been busy the last couple days learning how to navigate Window 8.1 on my ne PC. what a hoot should have until I went to visit my Son 🙂
Roberta, if you ever figure it out, please let me know. I absolutely hate windows 8.1.
BREAKING
😆 I love the replies!
I’ll do his ‘job’ for half the price.
Most of us would.
Bears repeating.
It is also truly amazing that they can’t find these scumbags. Just can’t believe with all the technology, they can’t be traced somehow.
This guy has 6 children. Question would have been……were any of your children vaccinated?
Or were they home-schooled?
Completely blinded by ideology. Oblivious to facts and science. And they control Congress.
Whoa. An eye for an eye.
NPR reported on this in January of 2013.
What is the diff between chat on & chat away?
Tell me in the morn.
Gunnite.
Nite Tulip!
Interesting…….?
Jordanian TV is reporting the pilot was killed on January 3rd.
I know this is trivial, but I’ve glancing at the t.v. all day with the volume on mute. In my mind I kept seeing “Buried” alive. Only when I sat down to actually watch the t.v. did I know that he was “Burned” alive. As someone noted above these monsters have gone from beheadings to now burning their hostages. I am speechless at the depravity, and sheer barbarism of these monsters. If there is a hell I hope these monsters spend an eternity in it.
More from the GOP we elected!
Yep. And if it takes sick people to “make the market work”, just too bad. Market is the GOD !!!
While we’re at it, why inspections of food ? After all, you just have to wait for people to die, and the guilty companies will be naturally eliminated. Market ! Market !
So he would require a sign saying the establishment does not require hand washing …..and that is NOT overreach ?
Thanks for running away from PBO ….FORMER Senator Hagan.
I just tweeted this – post a sign that allows the public to decide if they want to eat at a filthy establishment that values money over safety. Should do the same for those who opposed health care for their food worker employees, like Papa Johns. I certainly wouldn’t dream of eating at an establishment that said they don’t care if the people working for them can afford to see a doctor if they’re sick…
As a health care worker, I just find that nasty. Public health is not government overreach.
And these sick, heartless, moronic people are the majority in the House and Senate. If we blow the next presidential election, this country will become unlivable.
Now we know why Sen.Tillis has shit for brains!
Can someone point this to the GOP, to all of them?
Scum…..Cheater……Awful person.
Why are we not surprised?
Um… Ew!
One of the purposes of terrorism is to create specific reactions in those you attempt to terrorize. There was, I think, a specific reason why the decision was made to burn the Jordanian pilot as opposed to beheading. Those that have been beheaded where non-Arabs. The victims were from societies that view beheadings as horrible, barbaric acts, so horrible that it would make the countries from which the victims came not want to risk it being done again or bring them into the conflict full bore, thus creating a non-Arab against Arab conflict which they could use for recruiting purposes. Note that neither has happened.
In many Arab countries, however, beheadings is seen as appropriate punishment for certain crimes. The barbarism is not in play. Burning alive, however, does a couple things. First of all, the sanctity of the body is important to Muslims. Burning someone goes against that. Secondly, they want to prevent other Muslim countries from going after them. I think they may believe that other Arab pilots will refuse to go after them if this is what they may face if captured. If that were to happen, it would then become non-Arab against Arab again.
In this, I think, they have made a major miscalculation. I think this is going to make the other Arab/Muslim nations in the area even more dedicated to eradicating them. I think it will also contribute to turning many Sunni tribes that have been somewhat supporting them to turn against them.
This was a very desperate act on their part. They will still take a while to be exterminated, but it will happen, and this action may bring that day closer, not further away.
My caveat is, of course, that I may have absolutely no idea what I am talking about and could be totally wrong in my assumptions and conclusions.
Very, very interesting Japa – read this the other day, ties in to what you said about beheadings:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-claims-difference-is-clear-between-state-sanctioned-executions-and-isis-beheadings-10019780.html
So I’m intrigued too to see what the response to this form of barbaric murder will be. Enraged protestors gathering outside the palace in Jordan will add to the pressure to respond, I hope they bomb the **** out of them.
Bottom line, King Abdullah knows full well those who are and have been enabling #DAESH. Let’s see what he does …
What you say makes a lot of sense, Japa. And if Daesh were operating while a Republican was the US President, they would get exactly what they wanted–a massive overreaction from the western world that would gin up hatred among Arabs. But western countries, guided by our president, are dealing with this murderous group strategically, providing unqualified and deadly support to those Arab nations that take the combat lead against Daesh’ I hope this latest barbaric act galvanizes Arab states against them and quickens their downfall.
Breaking:
The Eleventh Circuit has denied the state defendants’ motion for a stay pending appeal of the Alabama marriage equality ruling. The current (temporary) stay will expire on February 9. I suspect that Alabama state defendants will now request the stay from the SCOTUS. The SCOTUS denied a similar stay request from Florida (which is also included in the Eleventh Circuit) state officials in December of last year.
So if AL requests a stay from SCOTUS and they grant AL the stay I think we can interpret that maybe the SCOTUS will overturn marriage equality in states that voted for it.
Yuck, I HATE this kind of crap:
Awww….Gallup is feeling butt-hurt. Let’s all shed a magical tear for them.
If find it funny when unemployment drops under a DEM President it’s always a “big lie” or it doesn’t include people who stopped looking. Under Bush they never talked about the unemployment rates of those who stopped looking or the low job creation. I predict many of those that stopped looking or working part time are Baby Boomers who took SS at 62 yrs old and decided to work part time or go into business for themselves thanks to ACA aka Obamacare.
I loved Dear Kitten….too funny.
Good response.
BOOM! Sure she wasn’t quite waiting for that answer…
Translation someone? Anyone, please.
I can’t see the twitter pic, but the article talks about how they are trying to create justification, saying it is consistent with the Quran. However, the Quran specifically bans the burning of captives. They are aware they are going to create a major backlash.

Building and programing a robot from scratch may sound like an impossible task to most primary school students, but one man is changing that mind-set for a generation of Ugandans.
By showing students as young as six how robots can solve real-world problems, Fundi Bots founder Solomon King Benge wants young people to develop a creative skill set they can apply to solve issues specific to their lives. [,,,,,]

Love it!
Claire McCaskill unchained.
interesting how the Press is taking this stance…yet it never blamed the GOP for its obstruction…it is not a tit for tat….
Thanks for this. Not right for them to just say Dems are doing what GOP did. GOP tried and are trying to pass bills that harm Americans, and filibustered honest efforts to make life better for Americans. Dems are filibustering the GOP agenda to continue harming Americans. They are not comparing apples to apples.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeahhhhhh!!!!
Now that is a coincident for yo ass!
I hope Boehner would get vaccinated… against Tbaggers’ priorities.

THISSSSSSSS!!!!!
So the DNC called me again this afternoon looking for donations. I feel bad saying No to them as it is probably what the GOP would like to hear. but i told her I will see how much they support my president next year and i’ll decide then. If my money is going to HRC or people like Grimes et al that tanked our last best chance to rally around him that is not ok with me. Now suddenly they are all about supporting this president when it comes to my donation. blech.
They leave me alone since every time they sent something requesting money, I sent it back with a rant attached about their non-support of PBO.
I do the same. Have since the election but they keep sending me emails!

Dear Pamela:
Thank you for writing. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Like many Americans, I strive each day to observe healthy habits. Despite my busy schedule, I try to exercise regularly and eat well because I know these activities help maintain mental and physical well-being. These habits are important not just for me, but also for my family, and for all Americans.
Thank you, again, for writing. I wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama

I so wish for a day soon coming when all coalition forces will pound at the same time on Daesh and Boko Haram. So wish for that day!
Meanwhile, on the Keystone Pipeline…
I know a promise Bitch McConnell could not deliver, is goal to make President Obama a one term president.
Wackos everywhere!
LISTENING TO KING ABDULLAH II…….:(
(where?)
THE LOOK ON KING ABDULLAH’S FACE SAYS IT ALL!
Love the picture of PBO. It is my favourite profile shot of him. I am looking forward to more meetings with Civil Rights leaders over the course of the month.
Wow… Sen Heller -R NV voted with the Dems to block the cloture vote .
What were they voting on?
Linda may be referring to this:
Not a surprising vote for someone who represents the state where PBO delivered his speech to announce his executive action on immigration.
With a Latino GOP Governor (Sandoval), wouldn’t be smart to be a RWNJ on immigration in that state apparently.
DHS funding that included blocking PBO’s immigration orders.
I am pretty sure McConnell with have that stripped out and bring the bill back up….but then the House will have to vote on it again.
Rand Paul’s Alex Jones Problem: Vaccines And “Martial Law”
Rand Paul’s connection to leading conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is under new scrutiny after the Republican senator recently claimed vaccines could lead to “mental disorders.”
In 2009, Paul was interviewed for Jones’ show and claimed “martial law” could lead to “mandatory” vaccinations. Paul is one of Jones’ biggest enablers even though the radio host has pushed fringe theories about 9-11, mass shootings, and the federal government.
http://mediamatters.org/blog/2015/02/03/rand-pauls-alex-jones-problem-vaccines-and-mart/202396
Alex Jones is a racists piece of crap just as bad as Rush Limbaugh.
Ha – and right on cue, a new Harper Lee book to be published, written 50 years ago….
Sick to my stomach about the news from Daesh today.
LONDON, Feb 3 (Reuters) – New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a possible 2016 presidential contender, canceled three scheduled media appearances in the UK on Tuesday, amid a controversy over his comments on measles vaccinations.

How Presidential……..
Oh yes, the Brits would smack him down fast..
I was hoping he’d get questions from the UK press and watch him get nasty with them like he does here to show how he does not have the temperament to be president let a lone governor.
How I would love that, Jojo!
he he he!
