If you are going to try to put people beyond the pale on the grounds of what they have said it pays at least to be consistent. This week, left-wing MPs were cock a hoop at achieving the required number of signatures on a petition calling for Donald Trump to be banned from the UK for the matter to be debated in Parliament. More than 560,000 signed, with the result that the issue will be discussed in Westminster Hall on 18 January.
There was no visible protest, on the other hand, against David Cameron meeting Hungarian PM Viktor Orban in Budapest this week, no audible call for Mr Orban to be banned from making a return visit to the UK. There was even praise from liberals for Mr Orban's strong words to David Cameron complaining about negative images of Hungarians in the UK. They are not migrants, said Mr Orban, but EU citizens exercising their right to look for work in another EU state.
Mr Orban has something of a different view, however, of migrants trying to enter Hungary. Last autumn, when the flow of Syrian refugees northwards was at a peak, he closed Hungary's border with Croatia with a steel fence to keep out the new arrivals. His explanation echoes the statement which spurred British liberals to start petitioning against Donald Trump: 'I think we have a right to decide that we do not want a large number of Muslim people in our country,' he said. 'Is it not worrying in itself that European Christianity is now barely able to keep Europe Christian?' Mr. Orban asked. 'There is no alternative, and we have no option but to defend our borders.'

Britians left-wing MPs need a wake up call, but after seeing british citizens watching a military cadet be butchered with a meat cleaver in broad daylight on a british sreet by a muslim fanatic and no on did a thing I’d say its much safer to ban a man who speaks the truth, he’s more dangerous
Always has been, throughout history. He's also more rare.
Looking back at all of the attempts to stop Trump's campaign before it started, it's mind-boggling. Just the fact that no such attempts were made against anyone else tells us who to vote for. The man who speaks the truth, albeit with great flair and humor and a tendency to exaggeration. No one else even matters at this point in US history.
True that!!!!!
Everyday I pray God’s protection on this man....and his family.
I have never, in my lifetime, seen someone with his measure of courage & understanding of who and what he is facing.....
...walk through that gauntlet as fearlessly as he does.
May God have mercy and let him win!!!...
...and restore our once great nation!
