"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
Tim, you've finally summed it up exactly! You win the Internet!!
An aside: I work with a number of "moderate muslims" now and quite a few in the past. Tims statement is pretty accurate. While they'll "tsk-tsk" the actions of radicals and agree "what a shame", there's always that "...but..." waiting to be said. I love some of my moderate muslim friends like family...I DO NOT TRUST ANY OF THEM to not go off the rails one day and become what they appear to truly believe.
I say this, not because of the news or the "feels" of other folks on the web. I say this solely because of the things I hear them say to each other or the sugar-coated justifications they use to explain away the horrors that we are now seeing on a daily basis.
A radical muslim wants to behead you. A moderate muslim wants a radical muslim to behead you.
