Donald J. Trump on Monday invoked comparisons to the Cold War era in arguing that the United States must wage an unrelenting ideological fight if it is to defeat the Islamic State. He said he would temporarily suspend immigration from “the most dangerous and volatile regions of the world” and judge allies solely on their participation in America’s mission to root out Islamic terrorism.
In a speech at Youngstown State University in Ohio, a critical swing state where polls show him trailing Hillary Clinton, Mr. Trump combined old vows to seize Middle Eastern oil fields with the announcement of a series of new, if still vague, proposals to change America’s battlefield tactics.
“Just as we won the Cold War, in part by exposing the evils of communism and the virtues of free markets, so too must we take on the ideology of radical Islam,” he said….

The jihadis are at war with the United States, and those who have sworn to protect and defend this nation are determined instead, above all things, to make sure that we do not think negatively about the belief system that inspired this war against us and incites its adherents to attack us. This is madness, and must stop. Trump, for all his many flaws, is the first candidate to buck this sinister agenda, and the most honest presidential candidate about the jihad threat since John Quincy Adams.
Go, Trump, GO!
Islam is an evil ideology. It has no place in free western cultures and is an anathema to the US Constitution.
It is about time we started using preventative measures with respect to whether we allow people who practice this idealogy and their leaders who promote viewpoints that are in opposition to western values into this country as an immigrant or even visitor.
One thing that W got right was that the war against terrorism would be long fought, and test America’s resolve.
Even as he spoke those words in 2001, I knew the country didn’t have what it took, and that liberals and the media would put politics and political correctness ahead of defending our nation.
If the jihad is defeated, it will be done despite the left, not with their help.
There will be a conflict, it is just a matter of time. They are at war with non-islamists. Will it happen soon or will it be for future generations to settle? Only God knows.
Hasan, Ca, Orlando, Boston....could all have been prevented...
"see something, say something" means you will get a T-shirt that says....I have Islamaphobia.....courtesy of our Muslim president.
And then right afterward he said that Islam was a religion of peace. And the war was lost.
Yeah, he did. And that’s when I knew it would be a battle conducted under PC ROE.
It was a great speech. Trumps speaks out on this issue where so many in our government will not even go there, thanks to our MOTUS, 0bama.
Donald Trumps speech showed real leadership of what our POTUS is supposed to do when this country is threatened.
Not like the lack of leadership we have now, where our leaders cower in fear, appeasing the crocodile, in hopes it eats them last.

This is sufficient reason to vote for him.
We must take on the entire ideology of Islam because its goal is to destroy us all.
Trump is a fool if he does not understand this.
Yes, and it’s worth repeating. But do you think Trump would have come this far had he dropped the “adjectives”?
