Briefly saw stat on CNN and think like 75% of republicans dont think Muslims have right American values. So Trumps just playing to the base.
Well yay for him, the scum bag, lol. When he loses the race he might regret a lot of this garbage he's spewing, because he's ruining his name. There is a Trump Tower being built in Vancouver right now, I shudder to say, and there is now a movement in the business and larger community to change the name of the tower because no one wants our city tainted by his name in the skyline. And if he'd proposed this building now instead of a long time ago before he trashed his own reputation, I seriously doubt he would have gotten the green light to build it at all.

yeah, I agree. I've been saying all along that he is going to lose steam eventually when america gets tired of his nonsense and divisiveness. hope I'm right.

Americans don't get tired of nonsense:
Examples: kardashians, CNN, foxnews, pop music, all the real housewives, tour date speculation, facebook, outdated amendments, religion, etc.
Good for them. I really do think Trump has crossed the line into hate speech for sure. I can't imagine how American Muslims must feel about this (beyond the obvious - i.e., WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT).
....... there is still a small part of my brain that thinks this is all actually the production of a crazy, groundbreaking documentary he's making or something.

Why stop at Muslims? Ban all organized religion, your grandkids will thank you.
This is a play off the very profound quote by Martin Niemoller, who was a Lutheran minister and early supporter of Hitler who ended up imprisoned in Dauchau. We should all understand that we aren't immune to the menace of Fascism.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Look at the dirt on this guy. No way he gets elected. Time to move on to the next sitcom.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
I do not know if this is real or not but if so I do think it says it /12165973_1000269180033108_453586423_n.jpg?oh=cada5d1f63d16b98fdf3c8d7c5c7dcfc&oe=566B3217" />
Yep Jimmy he's playing them. Thing is, they may know it but CRAVE the message as it validates fears and insecurities. Give em what they want.
Donald Trump is not anti Muslim. He is anti ISIS. What Trump is trying to say is that Homeland Security can not differentiate which muslim is radical wanting to cause harm and which is a harmless refugee. This is why nothing gets done. We are too busy being politically correct. Who is willing to sacrifice their family's safety for the sake of political correctness? Are you?

I put this in the other thread. Maybe it should be here. I thought is was interesting. I think the people were from NY? Did anyone watch CBS news yesterday morning? I happened to have it on & caught a segment with Frank Luntz (I thought he was with Fox News?) & his random panel. It seemed most in his panel agreed with Trump but did not support him politically.

You haven't responded to the questions and counters posed to you in your failed thread on Islam, if you had, you might have learned a bit about Islam...enough to know that Trump's statements are unequivocally anti-Muslim.

that's the same as someone saying jail all the african americans, but they "aren't anti-black, they are anti crime". it paints a very large group with a very small brush.
it's ignorant and racist. it's not being politically correct. it's being an idiot.
Interesting article. Basically stating that Trump's entire campaign is based on bringing out the "missing" white voters.
I'm wondering if the anti voter crap that the GOP uses to keep minorities out will also keep these missing white voters out. In my opinion they are low educated, mostly poor/lower middle class voters.

Conspiracy theories make my head hurt but if there was ever a candidate almost begging for someone to take a shot at him, it is Donald Trump. And at the same time the GOP is stuck with a front runner none of the power brokers want but cannot get rid of? I really don't like where this is going.
Trump's original sentence included the word "UNTIL" we figure out what is going on in the USA's vetting process. "UNTIL" describes temporary not PERMANENT.

The whole idea is stupid. Trump said something to the effect that customs agents would ask if the person entering was Muslim...if they said "yes" they don't get in. How stupid is that?

Yeah, because history tells us that trying to eradicate religion works soooo well. Look, I dislike religion at least as much as the next impassioned Atheist. But you can't force Atheism. People just need to find it themselves. Anything else would grow religion, not shrink it.

It's not about political correctness. This is a line fed to people by the worst of the GOP. And Trump is anti-Muslim. I think it's ridiculous to say otherwise, considering what he's been saying.... Is this because he claims that he LOVES Muslims? That he has loads of Muslim friends? (I'd love to hear what any of them have to say.... if it's anything good I would assume they're being paid off somehow, lol). Yeah, well there are a LOT of racists who believe to the core of their souls that they're not racists. I can't believe that his justifications are actually working on people, lol. I guess he's more clever than I thought!
