She idd adress it...she noted that we're stuck with dealing with our own homegrown losers and whackos. Her point is that we have more than enough of those and shouldn't be importing more from elsewhere.

when you're talking about the cliff, yes

They should, however, be saying smarter things than you seem to

But a highly disproportionate number of terrorists are Muslims, and they have a much greater base of support from their theology than other religions provide.

While I generlaly agree...many states have done such an abominable job with their capital trials that they really did need to stop them. Capital trials absolutely must be structured so as to totally sure the guilty one(s) are the only ones convicted. The local elected DA should not be the one to prosecute, there should be non-local law enforcement experts to review the police procedures and evidence (etc.). While no capitally punished person has ever committed another crime...also no erroneously convicted capitally punished person has ever been able to be pardoned and released. That is one that absolutely has to be done right.

Another several years of (semi- if not actual) unemployment, living with their parents, defaulting on their student loans, not being able to buy all the shiny-shiny they want...will turn half of them into full blown revolutionary Marxists and the other into conservatives (except for sexual matters)

Funny, lynch mobs killed (generally) innocent people, so the analogous group here would be the abortionists.

No, the House of Representatives won't go for it

A mainstream newspaper or magazine? They'll cave.

Better informed Christians (theologically speaking) will also acknowledge that the Leviticus laws were nation/group specific to the theocratic state of old Israel, and are not per se applicable to other cultures. The admonition against homosexual conduct and for one man/one woman marriage is broader rooted - the Genesis man/woman pairing associated with Creation, the way all the polygamous marriages detailed turned out poorly, Jesus saying He came not to abolish but to fulfill the Law (etc., etc.). There is far more to it than Leviticus, and while the conduct is condemned, those who have that temptaion (separate from the conduct) are not.
