Orlando Terror Sad Reminder of Hate & Violence Rise in World & West

Please read and share: http://stupidpartymathvmyth.com/1/post/2016/06/orlando-terror-sad-reminder-hate-violence-rise-world-west.html

"What frightens me is what I see as clearly increasing trends in America and Europe: an increasing number of individuals who take it upon themselves to carry out violence against others based on their identity, the rise of intolerant identity politics and support of candidates who espouse such beliefs, the vitriol in political discourse. None of these things will help us combat violence, either at home or abroad. And while for a long time it was clear the conservatives in America were leading the charge here, the rise and behavior of Bernie Sanders and especially his supporters exhibiting extremist behavior and language, combined with the militant rise of extreme political correctness that seeks to drown out dissenting views and focuses on anger mean that Americans now have to be checking themselves from both ends of the political spectrum as the left is seeing the formation of its own version of Tea-Party like activists."
