Sorry, Wrong Nationality

Rant alert ...

The huge, screaming headline on CNN as I write this is

"U.S. Officials: American Died Fighting for ISIS."

Well, I hate to burst the bubble of those officials, whoever they are, but anyone fighting for ISIS is not an American. This ass clown made a conscious decision to turn his back on his family and his country and head overseas to fight for a bunch of genocidal religious fanatics who want nothing better than to turn the clock back to an imaginary seventh century paradise. He decided it was more important to be a homicidal religious bigot than a citizen of the greatest nation on earth.

If you think jihad in the service of murderous lunatics like ISIS is your destiny, there are lots of garden spots in the world (Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, to name a few) where you'll be happier than here in the country you spurned. Good riddance.

If it were my decision to make, every one of these fools who leaves the country and fights for some quasi-religious band of thugs should have his passport cancelled immediately. No right of return, no consular protection, no more of the benefits of living in a country that gives him rights no rigidly theocratic regime would ever allow. Enjoy your jihad, but enjoy it somewhere else. You're not coming back.

Mr McCain can hold hell's door open for the rest of his friends. There's plenty of room left for their kind.

Have a good day. Do not refer to these morons as Americans in my hearing.

More thoughts tomorrow, when I calm down.
