ISIS also known as Daesh wants us dead. Us means all of us. ISIS hates us for existing and their advocates will use everything from a pressure cooker to a pipe bomb to a rifle. The latest proof was the horrible events Sunday morning at the Pulse in Orlando Florida. The Pulse was and is an Orlando gay bar. Sunday June 12^th around 2AM, Omar Matten, an American born child of Afghani parents walked into the bar with one thing on his mind. Kill everyone inside. His father tried to minimize the actions of his charming son by claiming he was offended that gay men held hands and kissed in Miami in view of the now dead jihadist. There is absolutely nothing that can excuse his murderous offspring.

Let me be perfectly clear. This murder spree could have been a shooting at the mall or during a religious meeting of any faith, a golf game, a ball game or any other event. . No matter how liberal and affirming and accepting the murdered and injured were and are, they were shot by a true believing Daeshbag. And I cannot say it enough ISIS Wants Us Dead. All of us. As President Barack Obama said:

So this is a sobering reminder that attacks on any American — regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation — is an attack on all of us and on the fundamental values of equality and dignity that define us as a country. And no act of hate or terror will ever change who we are or the values that make us Americans.

Unfortunately, as my fellow Victory Girls said here and here the idiots on the right and the left both acted the fool this week to push an agenda. All I can say is Stop. None of the 49 dead and 53 injured or their families, friends and loved ones did anything to deserve their horrible death and injuries at the hands of a maniac. Said maniac for the gun control folks, legally was given a license to carry as a security guard (at federal installations no less). Background checks failed. And the issue is not the rifle. Or a shotgun. Or the victims being gay or straight, male or female, Black, Hispanic, Caucasian or Asian. It is about uniting not dividing. This is not about gay vs straight. It is not about guns vs disarmament. Jim DeMint at Heritage Foundation said this:

The first thing we should do is leave partisan politics aside. We know what inspired this crime: Islamist terrorism, fueled by propaganda from ISIS and other murderous groups in the Middle East. Mateen even called 911 to publicly pledge allegiance to ISIS. America’s fight is against political Islam.

This is what we need to stop. Not gays or guns or any other political tool.  The mindset that these sick bastards foster in their followers. And support the Muslims who are speaking out.  Twitter has a post that puts priorities in place:

We can and must do better. Treat our neighbors with kindness, dignity and respect and love. That is what we are here to do. Not use the murder spree to push a political agenda but realize who we are fighting and why they do and believe what they do. ISIS wants us dead.

Lt Gov Spencer Cox is my new hero. We are here to love. Let’s do better.
