I did a long post on this using the FBI's official numbers (which don't count the Beltway snipers as Islamic Terror) a few months back, I think even before the Islamist Nightclub Shooting in Orlando, and there were more deaths from Islamists than Right Wingers.
Which is shocking when you consider the potential source material for White Conservatives is at least 65% of the country, whereas the source material for Islamic Attacks is less than 2% of the country. The Islamic body count is even more distorted when fatalities from Islamic Terror outnumber all fatalities from ALL other causes, not just Right Wing.
Again, as I noted in the introduction, this is not to dismiss the threat of right wing terrorism and its very deadly consequences for some, but only to add perspective to the claims being made. Right wing terrorism is more deadly for Americans only if you add a number of very limiting parameters (e.g. excluding the victims of 9/11, ignoring “lone wolf†attacks without solid connections to groups like al-Qaeda and their affiliates, etc…). But if you lift those limitations, and apply equal standards, then the raw and unfiltered numbers of deaths of Americans due to Islamic extremism in the United States over the last fifteen years dwarf the numbers attributable to right wing extremism by a ratio of over 62 to 1. Even if you leave out 9/11 victims and just focus on the ideological statements and goals of the attackers, then the deaths of Americans due to Islamic extremism still outnumber the deaths attributable to right wingers (which reveals an even greater disparity when compared with population groups). If we move beyond America’s borders, then the disparity becomes far greater, with somewhere around 90% of the world’s terrorism related deaths attributable to Islamic extremism, and only a fraction of 1% attributable to right wing extremism.
I don't hate you. I think you often make good points. I just think you're letting emotion get the better of you as a result of the election, versus looking at both positives and negatives related to a Trump presidency.
Here is the Thread:

The greatest terrorist act is Democrats & Republicans voting.
They are 'clearly mentally ill'.
He has the right to keep & bear arms. The 2nd Amendment does not restrict
the "arms" that one has the right to protect america with.
Why do you HATE THE CONSTITUTION & FREEDOM?
They came to take his FREEDOM.They will be coming for yours.
Is there a polite way to grab pussy, that is politically correct and that shows both decorum and manners?
Maybe after Trumpligula's reign, women will feel insulted if you DON'T grab them by the pussy.
That's what's so great about the fair sex. If you aren't committing a crime of commission, then you are guilty of a crime of omission. The greatest crime is the crime of emission without permission.
Yeah, cable TV being less popular has done zero to diminish demand for high speed internet. In fact you didn't really need great internet if you had cable TV, but if you're going to be streaming a lot of content as an alternative to cable TV, then you must have high speed internet, and cable companies are the major providers of high speed internet.
The problem with using the cable or phone companies as an example is that installation of infrastructure is needed and requires more regulation as to who can use it and for what. So, consolidation of these types of companies can make sense because of the infrastructure complexity issue, but that means we'd have to regulate them more like a utility so that price-gouging doesn't occur. With the advent of satellite TV and cellullar, this is changing because fiber/cable/phone lines to the neighborhood are no longer required, however, satellites and cell towers are now the focus of "who owns what rights to use it".
I think it's hard to apply the same principles from the cable/phone industry, which operates more like a utility, to the healthcare industry. Different animals that require different regulation (or lack thereof).
ONE NATION! under TRUMPLIGULA! with LIBERTY! & JUSTICE! for the 0.01%!
TRUMPLIGULA'S GREAT COMMANDMENT:
SOCIALISM for the 0.01%,CAPITALISM for the REST!
I don't have any links but I am inclined to believe that there are more rapes unreported in India than there are false accusations.
That's what I'd expect too.
Trump supporters are turning out to be the biggest hypocrites in history.
Yawn...
Who's the dumb motherfucker that honestly believes that any charity is actually a charity. With the sole purpose of being a charity?
Who's the stupid ass dipshit that honestly believes that?
Every Charity is a front for other stupid shit, Trump didn't invent that, but if it bothers you so bad. I'm sure that he can put a stop to it. And pass laws where every cent has to go to a Charity. A charity should be a charity. Everyone involved should be donating their time and money. You don't draw a salary from a damned charity. And Charities shouldn't have "Operating" costs. It's a damned sham. They partner with companies that charge them for the services they provide. The third party company gets to take a write off and look like they are philanthropist when in reality they are only opportunists.
I want to kick the shit out of everyone on the screen when I'm watching the 6 OClock news, and they do a report about a baby from Haiti born with a cleft pallet, or conjoined twins they'll die if we don't donate huge sums of money so those capable doctors in a capable facility that they are already at can perform those procedures.
The same when they do a news report at a veterinarian clinic where an animal was abused and they are pleading for public donations. Is that Vet not capable to save the dogs life? Get to work you opportunistic asshole.
Charity begins at home. If you can't must up any charitable spirit by doing your charity work for free, then don't expect me to donate to you.
I'm not going to start Prosecuting Trump over Charity now, not after watching the Liberals yawn over Hillary selling our country to the Saudis and Russia through her charity.
ALL! CHARITABLE! DOLLARS! ARE! BELONG! TO! TRUMPLIGULA!
Why should he spend the contributions on a bunch of losers when they could be used to eclipse the sun with his greatness.
Somehow our society shifted from "innocent until proven guilty" to "guilty until proven innocent". At least when it comes to a female accusing a male, that's how it seems culturally. There really should be a very significant punishment for false accusations, something liberals are against.
If men weren't fulsome, charming liars to gain access to zipless, shallow sex, then flinging the women off with abandon, they wouldn't be men. Disgusting dogs and pervs.
Women DEMAND that men lie, and then treat the lies as a binding contract. Uh, oh!
How come in the movies, the women disappear with the blessed seed, never bother the guy except for perpetual, dewy eyed gratitude that they were his temporary fuck-objects, unless to appear 25 years later with a fully grown and supported child who is a wonder of pride and joy, meets dad and never asks for a dime except for some tiny shred of acknowledgement?

Our (western) society is at the opposite extreme of patriarhical societies. The pendulum swings between extrema.
The principle of ensured mutual destruction works well will fending off treats. If people believe that if somebody fucks up your life you will stop at nothing to fuck up their lives, they will leave you alone.
If it weren't for men lying to women for sex, we wouldn't have soap operas.
I am not sure anymore what liberal means.
I am anti PC, affirmative action, religion, and criminalizing drug use. For universal health care, keeping the rich poor, affordable education, and legal prostitution. I've only voted for a socialist party (in my country of origin). Am I a liberal?
I am anti PC, affirmative action, religion, and criminalizing drug use
Yeah I am the same on those positions and not sure where I fit in the political specturm. However in regards to the OP-that is disgusting. I mean rape should go back to mean -when a person is foricbly held against their will and have sex forced on them.
Not I got too drunk and had great sex ,but regret it the next morning or he promised to buy me a Popsicle after sex and did not do so and hence I was raped.
If the Jihadis were not so intent in killings and bombings-Muslim countries are the last bastions for men. I just don't get why even talking about male suffering and pain is not even allowed in this culture. I have seen a few documentaries of false rape accusations on Fox News and their impact on college kids who were kicked out-with no proof. But other than that it is always women, women, women-heck mattress girl is held up as some sort of symbol.
I think if there was soem party that stood for true equality, protecting American jobs, decriminalizing prostitution and drugs etc-it would get a lot of votes-time is ripe for that.
FYI, I'll be f'cking hoes for the rest of my life.
Let's see that one play out in some court in Australia ...
Hoe: 'Your honor, he didn't pay me, and thus, raped me!'
Rin: 'BS! Here's my card credit receipt. It reads, 'Accommodations at *Boink, Boink, Boink, Relaxation INC*'
Hoe: 'Wholly sh.it! You keep your receipts!?'
I think it is italy where making a false rape accusation is a crime. We need that int he USA, where it should carry the same sentence as the accused crime and the fake accuser needs to be registered as a sexual deviant.
Cable is finished. The smaller ones are going belly up, the big ones will try to reinvent, robbing mainly older/immobile citizens for a while longer. The reception with a digital antenna is far better than with a standard comcast box (they are often slightly defect and flicker a lot) and you get more channels than with basic TV (some are international though). Internet with a hotspot - say from T-Mobile - is $25 month and - if you have good reception in your area - is lightning fast. So for $25/month plus a digital Antenna for $20 you can save $50+ per month easily on not paying the cable bill.

How is it with volume. I have only Comcast in my area, so tried to go digital/satelite, but almost all said that it would not be good for me. I work from home a bit, download videos etc . This was a couple of years ago, maybe different now.

If you're fine with dvd quality you can stream unlimited without it counting towards your data from many services. For occasional work from home the 6GB or 10GB hotspot in addition to the unlimited streaming should totally suffice. Even when they throttle you after that it is still fast enough for non-video related work. The hotspots are super small compared to bulky boxes or wireless routers and if you want to go completely without hardware you can use your phone to tether and take the internet with you (I prefer having a small hotspot device at home). Def. worth a try if your reception at home is good.
President Obama claims he could have won a third term if he had been allowed to run, but many Democrats in down ballot races haven’t been as successful during Obama’s presidency.
He prob would mobilize black vote better than Hillary but I still think Bernie sanders could beat him in a primary not rigged.
Obama and Clinton part of old guard; ironically, Bernie is part of new guard. Someone with Bernie like platform will win 2020 nomination, not Michelle Obama or anyone like that, unless platform radically different
I think they will lose even more. If you look at the lefties on thsis ite, they still make fun of any people who vote repub. Hillary on down and even OBozo-but he used to go to other countries and bash us- just think of us as rubes.
Now I have no problems voting for the right dem candidate-but hey insult me and then expect me to vote for you-just because you think you are the chosen one. MM no-act like public servants and then work on understanding the common man's problems -jobs, jobs, a better future. Instead they push and lobby for the TPP. If Hilalry had won, Obama would have gotten the TPP passed-by repub help of course-but TPP would be law, just like he passed the Israel resolution.
ironically it took a brash billionare from NY to connect with the common man. Now it lefts to be seen if he will do it -but so far encouraging. lets see when he gets in office.
Dems have to worry about men in women's restrooms and of course the rancid feminazism. I am beginning to think many women are also starting to distance themselves from the feminazis and false rape-after all every man on this planet came from a woman and false rape affects and them and their sons. The same for all the stupid laws against men.
Unfortunately repubs don't do much on unfair child support, alimony etc-but at least they don't enact more rules.
We need people who like freedom more-stop jail for child support/drugs/hookers etc-crimes that are personal behavior. Crimes should be only ones that affect others-physically-not emotionally.
Trump it is and hopefully he will change the course for the repubs to be more the party of the common man. Obama and Hilalry have made the dems the party of the SJW and the corporates and Wall street-just look at the donations this cycle.
BTW, where am I sending this case, to your house or office? It's my Christmas present to you.

Please ship it overnight express. The chafing is driving him crazy.

That's the problem. They think they can win on Vagina Pillows and calling everybody a Racist. Everytime they get a taste of power, they forget economics and are willing to go to the Triarii over Multicult legislation. But they'll back down in a second over a Public Option or allowing Judges to cram down mortgage terms.

They actually do, sometimes:
http://www.wuft.org/news/2016/03/16/florida-legislature-passes-bill-on-shared-parenting/
But it was vetoed by the Governor, probably due to divorce lawyer pressure, who don't want laws that make shared custody the norm, they want to squeeze fathers to make money over automatic female primary custody.
And guess who else was opposed?
NOW. The organization that claims feminism is about equality.
~4500 american service men lost their lives under g.w.bush/republican liars WMD LIE.
How many on 9/11?
Why do you hate americans?
