You know, we have to remember, conservatives ARE different. They see risks with magnifying lenses- so if they wet the bed every night, their own biology is causing them to do that. I can't imagine what it would be like to be so attuned to (and freaked out by) negative and fearful stimuli- but it's something to remember. This isn't a one off. The republicans are always screaming that the sky is falling- and yet it never does. But that sort of nambi pambi scientific evidence isn't going to stop them.

Wow, what an idiot Graham is.... But if McCain or probably any other Republican other than perhaps Paul were in office, that is almost certainly what we would be hearing non-stop at this point. Another mid-term election buildup to war. Comparing the estimated 30,000 ISIS fighters to the Nazis, Graham warned that “this idea we’ll never had any boots to defeat them in Syria is fantasy.” He argued that given the growth of the “radical Islamic army” and its control of territory in northern Iraq and Syria, “it’s going to take an army to beat a army.” “This is ISIL versus mankind,” he said, using another acronym for the group. “To destroy ISIL, you have to kill or capture their leaders, take back their territory, cut off the finances and destroy the capability to regenerate. This is a war we’re fighting not a counter terrorism operation,” Graham continued. “This president needs to rise to the occasion before we all get killed back here at home.”
