Jim. I am very disappointed.

I truly enjoy FR... but we have a true conservative and a constitutional originalist to rally behind, one that I haven’t even mentioned by name here, yet the knives come out... supporting some reality TV star clown?

I guess it has to get a LOT WORSE before it gets better.

That’s frightening.

I guess we will see what happens.

Islam has set itself out to conquer the world and must either be defeated or submitted to. Time for all to choose which side they are on.

But to treat every single Muslim as a threat, regardless of whether they're from Raqqa, Erbil, Cairo, or Des Moines - and regardless of whether they've tweeted jihadist threats or bled on the battlefield alongside our troops - is to act mindlessly.

This statement is a short-sighted interpretation of what Trump said.

There is nothing wrong with closing our borders to select groups when confronted with actionable intelligence or to place some groups under greater scrutiny because of known threats.

Something for the ping list to consider if they are wondering which cause/campaign to donate money to. Jim and John or Ted?

It's our choice.

We do not have the ability to sort the good Muslims from the bad.

The "good ones" are not really good. They are the decoys that give aid, supply, and concealment for the mohamicidals that walk freely amongst them.

They also have standing declarations of war against us! Why are they still here?

It would be easier to counter an extreme like Islamic immigration with an extreme like a total ban, and then open up for exceptions who don’t pose a security risk. Imagine if during WW2 we had an open door policy allowing Nazis to immigrate here, (something that in reality would have been less harmful than our present situation). We may claim we are not at war with Islam, but Islam is always at jihad with non believers, even if that means they are waiting until their numbers are sufficient to act. A zero tolerance of Islam is a good starting point for making exceptions.

We did interment camps for Japanese Americans during WWII.

I don’t think Trump asking for a PAUSE is radical. I think its a mild proposal compared to Interment camps

Or maybe require them to denounce the sedition of sharia in order to gain admittance - maybe requiring evidence that they support the opposite of sharia so their words aren’t just taqiyya. Sharia is not religion, it is the official stance of executing and/or enslaving non-Muslims. To support sharia is to be an enemy of the US Constitution. The Muslims who need to be weeded out are the ones who support sharia. And it wouldn’t be a religious test in violation of the First Amendment. It would be weeding out those who intend to kill or enable the killing of non-Muslims simply because they are non-Muslim. It would be truly VETTING them before entrance. Require them to show evidence of their opposition to sharia.

Islam and sharia law is not compatible with our Constitution or our form of government. So why would they want to come to the United States except to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” as our muslim president is trying to do! Get them out of here now before it’s too late!

Trump/Cruz

It was intentional. Sorry you missed my subtlety.

You win a tee shirt though!

But the correct response to political correctness isn't to simply take the opposite position, to answer one form of unthinking ideology with another.

It's not a response of unthinking ideology. It's a thoughtful response to an existential threat.

“Someone needs to take the reins of this country or we’re all going to get killed............”

This is the reason we need a leader who speaks “straight from the shoulder” and tells it like it is. I am, like many of you, complete disgusted with the politically correct crowd who pussy foot around a subject by using PC words instead of hitting right between the eyes with what you have to say. Tell it like it is and stop all the PC BS.

Why is following the refugee law wrong? It requires us to ask about religion. Trump didn’t write the law.

Most Conservatives believe the radical muslims make up 50% of muslim population around the world. Yes, its as high as 50%, which make it 500 million radical muslims. It only make sense that we ban them from entering
