Everyone is reacting to the shocking video of ISIS burning a Jordanian pilot alive, but this isn’t the first time they have used this barbaric practice.
This was not the first burning — ISIS recently burned 3 Iraqi Soldiers. http://t.co/ZCakvU3cv4

So if you don't like crucifixions, stonings, defenestrations, and now burning people alive, then maybe you should vote more carefully.

The absence of U.S. leadership in the world certainly has not helped.
