Trump On His Plan To Ban Muslims: 'Not Politically Correct, But I Don't Care'

[Pete7469]

Fear tactics? You mean halting all muslim immigrants and imposing a religious test for immigration? That kind of fear tactic?

How is that a "fear tactic"?

It's a self preservation tactic.

A "fear tactic" is lying about the intent or motivation of the proposed policy.

 

[Kosh]

Well Trumps got a point.

Stop letting Muslims into our country until they figure out what they are dealing with.

Sounds reasonable to me.

The rest of candidates are good at mouthing PC bullshit.

And by 'PC bullshit', you mean some semblance of consistency with our national values?

Well values don't do you much good when someone is trying to kill you.

Translations: Values are only for when it's easy.

It is cute when far left drones talk about values, something they have no clue about!

Maybe you don't Mr. Trump...and maybe your sycophants don't, but there are plenty of people who do care and they vote.

Trump On His Plan To Ban Muslims: 'Not Politically Correct, But I Don't Care'don-t-care

"I wrote something today that I think is very very salient, very important, and probably not politically correct, but I don't care," Trump said at a rally on an aircraft carrier turned museum in South Carolina.

The statement earned him a standing ovation at an event in which two protesters were led out. Trump called for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."
​

Others all-out rejected Trump's proposal.


Ted Cruz, who is competing with Trump for both the Tea Party and the evangelical vote spoke to NBC News. "No, that is not my policy," he said. "I believe the focus should be on radical Islamic terrorism."


Jeb Bush called Trump "unhinged."


Marco Rubio said Trump's plan was outlandish and offensive.


Chris Christie said Trump has no idea what he's talking about.


Former Vice President Dick Cheney was asked about it during an appearance on the Hugh Hewitt Radio program.


"Well, I think this whole nation that we can say, 'No more Muslims,' that we can just ban a whole religion goes against everything we stand for and believe in," he said.


Arab-American civil rights groups, meanwhile, reacted with alarm. Nihad Awad of the Council on American Islamic Relations said Trump sounded like the leader of a lynch mob.


"If such hatred and bigotry is not outright rejected by the GOP, then it will be part of it's legacy for many years to come," Awad said.


Republican Party chairs in two key early primary states, South Carolina and New Hampshire, did outright reject it.


But a co-chairman of Trump's state veterans coalition in New Hampshire defended Trump's statement, arguing that it's the same policy used against Japanese Americans during World War II.


"What he's saying is no different than the situation during World War II, when we put the Japanese in camps," state Rep. Al Baldasaro said, per WMUR's John DiStaso. "The people who attacked innocent people in Paris came through open borders. From a military mind standpoint, all Donald Trump is saying is to do what needs to be done until we get a handle on how to do background checks."


Baldasaro also called on Jennifer Horn, the state party Charwoman to step down for calling Trump's plan "un-American."


"She needs to resign because she has no clue," Baldasaro said. "She's my friend, but I have to separate that from the Republican Party."


As divisive as this policy is, Trump did something else last night — something he always does at his rallies, portray himself as the man to unify the county.


"Wouldn't it be good for all of us to really get together and make our country great again?" Trump asked, invoking his slogan. "Isn't that what we really want to do?"


So we have a Representative who actually seems to be entertaining the idea of internment camps and calls on the state party chairman to step down because she called Trump's plan unAmerican?

And people actually defend Trump on this....surreal.

Maybe this imagery isn't so far off:

Nah, just a weaker version of FDR...

P.S.

He's a shock jock candidate that has carried on too far, and the reality is America Far Right most likely will nominate him and that is scary but realistic!

It's almost like he's doing this to flush the crazies out, isn't it?

He is talking about temporarily halting muslim immigration and the left promotes FEAR TACTICS and bringing up Hitler and internment camps blah blah blah
Weird, ey?

good point-----the operative word was TEMPORARILY---------comparing him to
Adolf ---or even the leaders of shariah cesspits ----is utterly idiotic. As far as I know----during the time that the USA was engaged in world war II-----we did not accept immigrants from Japan or Germany. Right now the USA is engaged in a
war against Islamic terrorism <<<< not a diplomatic thing to write but it happens
to be true

So, Congress has declared war? When did that happen?

The country with the largest Muslim population is Indonesia. We are not at war with Indonesia, in fact, we might even be allies with them in some regards.

Try to clean the lint between your ears, and then reread what was posted. Why do we need to import more problems when evidence shows the majority of mass shootings are done by young white males? I suspect the majority of them are Christian - given the overall demographics of the population.

What happened to VAST majority.

It is rare to see such disingenuous, vacuous and juvenile insistence on the manipulation of statistics.

71% would be a vast majority. Let's explore the "disingenuous, vacuous and juvenile insistence on the manipulation of statistics" while we're at it and consider the following: the world population of Muslims is 1.6 billion give or take. Of that, a miniscule number are involved in terrorism or with ISIS.

Yet look at the "disingenuous, vacuous and juvenile insistence" on supporting extreme measures against them.

Is it constitutional to treat Muslim-Americans differently than other Americans, all else being equal?

 

[bodecea]

The most fitting photo of The Donald yet!!!

Yes the far left narrative that socialism is right wing!

Socialism isn't RW...the NAZIs were.

 

[Meathead]

Look for yourself:
Triple Entitlement and Homicidal Anger
In the Unites States, middle-class Caucasian heterosexual males in their teenage years and in middle age commit mass murder, the killing of at least three victims during a single episode at one or more closely related locations, in numbers disproportionately high relative to their share of the population

Really! Young males commit mass murder in high relativity to their share of the population?!

Who woulda thunk!

Now, tell us about young black males, about 6% of the population committing nearly half of all murders.

We're talking about mass shootings.

You mean like spraying gang members? Go through this and get back to me, or, again, quit talking out of your ass.

 

[Coyote]

I saw another thread somewhere calling for a temporary hault to the immigration of white males. Statistics show that the vast majority of mass shootings are perpetrated by white Christian males. The dude's got a point. Of course everyone is too PC to come right out and say that

Stop your god damn lying

I didn't see the word Christian once. Fix your lie

This country is 71% Christian - I think it's reasonable to assume that is also likely true for most white males.

You "assume"? Fix the lie

Nothing to fix. If you think it's a lie - then disprove it.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Funny that the RWnuts insist we can't stop gun violence with gun control, but they are certain we can stop Islamic extremist violence with Muslim control.

 

[Uncensored2008]

The country with the largest Muslim population is Indonesia. We are not at war with Indonesia, in fact, we might even be allies with them in some regards.

I know Clinton was thrilled with the genocide of Christians in East Timor. As long as Indonesia oppresses Christians, democrats will love them.

 

[Claudette]

Well values don't do you much good when someone is trying to kill you.

The lack of such values can definitely increase the number of 'someones trying to kill you'.

And if your values only count when you're perfectly safe.....then you have none, nor ever will.

Oh and what values would be lacking oh mighty Kreskin???

If we banned all immigration or even visits to the country based on religion?

Religious liberty for one. A value that conservatives give plenty of lip service to.

Nope. Not to many religions that have sworn jihad against the Great Satan out there. That's the one we need to ban until the Govt. gets its ducks in a row.

I have no problem at all with religious liberty. The problem I have is when adherents to that religion want to kill me.

Catholics killed heretics for about 1000 years. Back then you may have believed that Christianity could never be any different.

Of course they did. That's why I consider religion to be the bane of the world.

Especially when you consider how many wars have been fought over religion and how many millions have died fighting those wars.

Another far left diversion!

They really believe that being Muslim is the same as being white.

The far left narrative is now that immigrant Muslims are now Muslim Americans..

See how the far left will change as needed to stick to their religious dogma..

Again, back it up! And stop with the dingbat platitudes ffs!

the war was not declared by congress---however it is a war-----active duty personnel
are considered to be in a war-------when separated from the military they are VETERANS OF WAR (being a veteran of war is not the same as simply having served in peace time)

We can't end Islamic terrorism by ending civil rights, as #fucktardObama and #crookHillary want.

I'm starting to see people say "the Hell with our national values".

just starting.....? we've been observing you lefties doing so for years....

And RWrs never had them in the first place. Yes, we know.
