People need history lessons. Ever since dynamite was invented there has been terror.
But it is Obama’s fault that there is terror. Yeah, Right.
We have had terror since we have had a republic. People just blame different cultures and faces over the centuries. The Hateful America never stops blaming the Blacks, though.
The old con man is blaming the President and selling the same old snake oil that the expiration date should have expired on by now.
FEAR MONGERING AND RACISM IS THE WHOLE PLATFORM FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Yessiree…. The Man with the Klan is gonna keep America terror free !!!!!!!
The deadliest school massacre killed 45 people including 38 children. Andrew Kehoe planted dynamite throughout the Bath Consolidated School in Bath Township, Michigan, and detonated it on the morning of May 18. A half-hour later, after destroying his farm and murdering his wife, while talking to the school's principal he triggered his truck to explode, killing them both. Authorities later discovered 500 pounds of explosives underneath the school that failed to go off, keeping the death toll from reaching even higher.
Of course, this was May 18th, so Obama failed to keep us safe. The year was 1927. Why let facts get in the way? The list below was on a more detailed timeline of A History of Terrorism at the Prospect.org link. These are the facts. Now, prey tell, what time does the republican nominee want to send us back to, to make America GREAT again? Pick a decade Trump and tell us how the administration failed to keep us safe and how you alone can do what this country has not been able to prevent since it’s founding. How would building a wall, or targeting Muslims or stopping immigration going to remove or stop Terrorism. Come on folks, the media won’t so let us control the narrative. The media is Breaking news every time someone breaks wind. ( Not to downplay the recent injuries and explosions) BUT this is nothing new as you can see below. Clinton has not even gotten into office and most everything is her fault. Tell me just how stupid or gullible or ignorant are today’s voters?
