Why? Nobody is defending W. The point is where were all righteous when Obama implemented visa bans, where were they when Obama adopted used a registry. I still haven't seen a single post about the west bank wall we paid for.RunIntoTheRain said:

Yes...then adopted by Obama.RunIntoTheRain said:@JC29856 wasn't NSEERS created by Pres G. Bush in Sept of 2002?
Are you trying to compare W to Obama?
Just feel you slant things the way you post to blame Obama.

And what I'm trying to get across to you is that while I didn't like Obama's decision, I felt like that was the end of the line. However, 7 days into a new administration (after over a year + of calling for a ban), there's a logical reason to believe that this isn't the end of the line with Trump's actions. I honestly see no limit to how far this man will go here and that's very upsetting.JC29856 said:

Google aclu and Obama...while the righteous were drooling the aclu fought Obama tooth and nail over visa bans and deportation.0

That's the easy answer...nobody is blaming Obama although I know everyone loves to throw that around.RunIntoTheRain said:

Just feel you slant things the way you post to blame Ohama.
It's no slant to point out to the droolers that Obama issued visa bans and used a registry and ask...why I haven't I heard from you before. The slant is the hypocrisy of hysterically screaming now but snoozing then.0 -

This is the muddy waters I'm talking about. If you were upset about what Obama was doing back then, I don't remember hearing about it from you then. But it works for you now. If you were upset about it then, you should be happy that people are upset about it now. They are on your side now.
I don't believe for one second you give a shit.

You seem to be rapidly approaching troll status.
After months of watching your posts closely, I can't decipher what you actually believe about anything, aside from the obvious love of stirring shit and being contrarian.
You are against everything, including Trump, at least until someone else says something negative, then you defend what you maligned previously.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

I didn't post it in its entirety or name the speaker to avoid bias. The question is do you agree with it or not (ignoring who wrote or delivered it)?
I would throw our recent presidents in the murderous, ethnic cleansing ignoring, (define madman) suppression of people vs corporations and deny certain faiths (Islam) category too.

They should have (well, never done it) delayed it for a couple of days/weeks to get all of the agencies up to speed on how this would be implemented. But they just HAD to get it out that day. On Holocaust Remembrance Day. I want to say that they rushed it out to offset leaks...but it doesn't pass the smell test. Knowing how the President loves acts of theater, I'm sure the element of surprise was part of it by catching everyone off guard.vaggar99 said:its the execution. these clowns couldn't run a fucking lemonade stand. fuck!!!!!

I haven't posted here because it's like diving into muddy waters, but I've been reading for a long time.
I'm just trying to cull out actual facts from the hysteria/knee-jerk reactions.
Something that confuses me is Obama's travel ban being compared to what Trump just instituted. Reading some of the links here (yours included), Trump is banning all new refugees right? The VWP banned certain individuals from those countries. Am I interpreting this incorrectly?0 -

Getting caught up on this thread, but I love this post, applies equally to all (myself included, at times). Thanks, benjs!benjs said:
Halifax, I mean this honestly: treating people who feel differently than you this poorly is not productive to showing them why they shouldn't. This goes for the Trump debates, but also any other topic in life, and there are a few prerequisites which without them, you're going to have a hard time changing mindsHalifax2TheMax said:Woa! Woa! Woa! Because that's what I do. I print my name, I sign my name. And then when, I sing the pledge of allegiance. Because going to a wedding and entering a country are the same. Are you usually this misinformed? Or just hateful? Be honest.
1. Don't attack character. If someone calls me a Nazi sympathizer and I'm not, that person's credibility is lost in my eyes, because I feel they fallaciously make conclusions.
2. Don't make a battle out of a debate. If both of your objectives are truth and not war, then exposed knowledge which adds to a pile of data on which to pass judgment can only be a positive. Don't let winning be the objective, it must be discovery of the truth.
3. Recognize the bias you have inherited, and that there is no shame in needing to consciously strip your opinions of the biases within you in order to reassess the truth of your opinions. It is not an attack to be reminded of bias.
4. Just be respectful. We're living things here.
I'm sorry if you find this preachy, but I've found these to be things absent by and large in this community. I've probably forgotten them from time to time too but am trying to be more cognizant of them."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

It definitely seems like Bannon is running the show now. I don't agree with Priebus on a ton of things, but I've always taken him to have some common sense. My question is, where is Kushner here? I think the actions on Holocaust Remembrance Day probably rubbed him the wrong way.vaggar99 said:

He has to be on board. Bannon may have had anti-semitic viewpoints but he obviously hates Muslims much more. It's divide and conquer.ledvedderman said:

Even if you were screaming about it then, why not be happy that people are aware of it now and are fighting for your cause?
Instead you just chastise the people pissed at it now. Congratulations, you are the most self-righteous of all.
Now maybe you can move on and work to hold this current president accountable, the people are with you.0
