Feel free to hand in your rights and freedoms, but you have no right to surrender my rights.

Damn, Americans have turned into a bunch of crybaby candy asses, and don't deserve the freedoms this country was founded on.

Its all them gays and liberals running the country with the commie way. Bastards need to all be killed right?

I wonder if this ISIS scare is just a diversion from our domestic problems.

It is when you fluff it up like the OP-

Breaking News: FBI issues warning about 1000s of ISIS followers inside US Homeland!

The FBI didn't issue a warning, it was Comey speaking candidly in an interview about "hundreds maybe thousands" of Jihad "followers" on social media, few of whom are truly committed or really likely to act.

That sounds about right for a nation of 300M where hundreds of whackjobs can take up any extreme cause from PETA to Jihad and from feminazis to real nazis.

It's about what a reasonable person might expect. the same can be said about FBI efforts towards them if not about the fearmongering spin applied to it all.

OTOH, we're lucky that Repubs haven't started congressional hearings to find the conspiracy behind it all, ya know? Those trumped up fantasies have been the real distractions.

BTW, since this keeps coming up, I didn't fluff up anything. Breaking News! was what ABC World News used to lead in this story when the news started that night, and I was just duplicating the way it was presented at the time, including using their own link to the story.
