I think Trump won the nomination today

What is to keep a future POTUS or Congress from excluding conservative Christians,

They pretty much already do.

I would wager that between now and the election, the chance of more "workplace violence" is asymptotically approaching 1.

Obama's speech was really a test of how much hogwash he could get away with while deliberately doing nothing to defend this country-- the media all snapped to attention and now attack anyone who wants to defend the US from Islamist infiltrators as a racist.

You are sh*tt*ng me... Right?

You cannot constitutionally say that immigrants from hypothetical country “A” cannot be Muslims

There's literally nothing in the constitution that says that.

[Georgia Girl 2]

So true. We can discriminate any way we want to as to who gets in the US. We can stop immigration altogether and let nobody in. We are a sovereign country.

[Hoodat]

Not at all. I think double-standards are evil, and that the ends never justify the means. Those are the tenets of the left.

Personally, I do not vision an America that can keep me out of the country because I happen to be a white male or a Christian.

Exactly. And it's dead wrong of them to do so.

[Defiant]

In our immigration bill in the 20s, we said “No muslims”. Was that a problem? Not for anyone with a brain.

And they were denied access because of their country of citizenship,

And how many Japanese or Germans born here in America with Nazi sympathies were rounded up?

On the other hand, what Cruz has proposed is that individuals from specific countries be refused for a period of time.

Cruz doesn't want refugees coming from countries where ISIS is strong. He's said nothing about immigrants in general.

HOGWASH !

You want to bleed for the Muslim extremists?

Uh, no. But then we're not talking about muslim extremists here. (Nor should the word 'muslim' ever be capitalized.)

[nopardons]

I'm not your "friend"; I don't make "friends" with people who aren't rational.

FDR refused to allow JEWS in during WW II and sent the ship back to Germany, for all on it to die.

FDR didn't kill all German, Italian, and Japanese people in America.

Obama's administration has already tried to and may have done so by now, an immigrant European Protestant family, because they were home schooling their kids.

Any future Congress and/or president might try to do what you claim; they certainly SHALL do that, once the dxamned Muslims take over this nation !

If other Muslims can't tell which ones are secret jihad terrorists, how can we? Why should we?

[mkjessup]

Uh, no. But then we're not talking about muslim extremists here. (Nor should the word 'muslim' ever be capitalized.)

So the only thing you can say in defense of your absurd views is that 'muslim' shouldn't be capitalized?

You need to walk back your post #2 Sparky, it didn't fly so good and based on the responses in this thread, you've had your ass handed to you.

As for 'extremists', I defer to President Erdogan of Turkey who said "there is no extreme Islam, there is only Islam".

Fair enough. Ban 'em all from entry.

[nopardons]

HOGWASH !

[Hoodat]

FDR refused to allow JEWS in during WW II and sent the ship back to Germany, for all on it to die.

And FDR should burn in hell for that. So if a Democrat has already done that with Jews, what's stopping them from doing it against Christians?

[GilGil]

Not even Cruz has the balls to say what Trump says. Cruz is afraid to be himself and genuine.

[Hoodat]

Ah, so you alone get to be the arbiter of who gets banned from entry. No other President gets to apply the same ethical options that you decide? You are hypocritically naive.
