Hmm. Democrats must have the next election in the bag, so clearly they don't need votes from the drooling, inbred Jeebus-lover crowd:
How many dead people did those thoughts and prayers bring back to the life? https://t.co/FX5yWryt1o

Nevertheless, as an atheist myself, I can sympathize with the desire for solutions over platitudes. And so in the spirit of that, I make a simple proposal following the terrorist attack at San Bernardino:
End ALL Muslim immigration. NOW.
Because the time for meaningless platitudes is indeed over.
UPDATE: Just tracked down one more of those jerks who offers "thoughts and prayers" during mass casualty events.
I mean, what a total asshole, amirite?
And for the sake of completeness, this monster's latest violation of all that is good and politically-correct:
"Our first order of business is to send our thoughts and prayers to those who have been killed."
— Obama on the San Bernardino massacre (Dec 3, 2015)
UPDATE #2: Some thoughts on the prayer-shaming campaign:
The coordinated attack [on offering "thoughts and prayers" for victims & their families] seems to have three goals: One, to simply bait and troll religious people, Two, to show how trite and silly common people are with their second-hand sentiments (and how elevated the critic of such sentiments is), and Three, that while the rightwing can only offer "thoughts and prayers" in response to a mass shooting, leftwing politicians offer action…
UPDATE #3:
Has condemning thoughts and prayers solved mass shootings yet? Seemed like a real winner yesterday.

UPDATE (December 6, 2015):
Today's Pravda: When our seemingly areligious POTUS prays, it counts. When religious people pray, it doesn't.
