Donald Trump is correct: America is at WAR with Islam.

Did we allow German Nazis to enter during WW2 ?

Hell no.

Ted Cruz may have just lost Iowa.

Cruz is my first pick, but he is wrong on this. We will not prosper until we achieve some sort of parity in immigration that includes the downtrodden and Muslim-persecuted Christians trying to flee the oppression of Jihadist Islam.

When only 0.4% of ‘refugees’ are Christian, it is clearly evident that the official US Government stance on immigration is biased against saving Christians in peril.

Jews and Christians in this country should be highly concerned about the genocide Islam is attempting against indigenous Christians in the areas they control. Yet our government ignores the Christians and prefers to bring more of the oppressors to this country.

What is wrong with that picture?

Here’s the difference and why temp wins

A guy who knows the Constitution inside and out and can argue it can’t work for it 100% in a political job. Not now

Maybe Cruz really thinks this. Then again, since it takes mountains of money to run a campaign now we don’t know. Cruz certainly works for the constitution more than any politician. But

Wait....didn’t I just see a thread here, earlier, touting how Ted and Pander Paul were the only ones using word ‘moratorium’?

Now, Cruz saying he doesn’t agree with Trump’s ‘moratorium’?? Someone has some splaining to do, to Cruz....this is confusing!

Senators Cruz and Paul Use the “M” Word, Moratorium! Trump Follows

Clinton tweeted that Trump’s proposal was “reprehensible, prejudiced and divisive.” Huma Abedin, Clinton’s campaign vice-chairwoman, sent out an e-mail to Clinton supporters with the subject matter — “I’m a proud Muslim.”
“Unfortunately, Trump is leaning into the kind of fear of progress that very well could help him win the nomination,” Abedin wrote. “We have to be ready to stop him.”

If government is allowed today to bar muslims because they are muslim, then tomorrow that same government will decide it can bar Bible Studies or evangelical Christians. Cruz is wrong and Trump is right — ONLY IF you decide that the First Amendment is obsolete and no longer the law of the land.

Is Donald Trump Right About Closing the Border to Muslims?

Excerpt:
Donald Trump is at it again. This time, the Republican presidential frontrunner suggests that the United States should close the border to all Muslims—including Muslim-Americans traveling abroad. Anyone who cares an iota about religious liberty should denounce this reckless, demagogic rhetoric....

The United States government should fight, and fight hard, against radical Islamic jihadism. The government should close the borders to anyone suspected of even a passing involvement with any radical cell or terrorist network. But the government should not penalize law-abiding people, especially those who are American citizens, for holding their religious convictions.

Muslims are an unpopular group these days. And I would argue that non-violent Muslim leaders have a responsibility to call out terror and violence and jihad. At the same time, those of us who are Christians ought to stand up for religious liberty not just when our rights are violated but on behalf of others too.

Make no mistake. A government that can shut down mosques simply because they are mosques can shut down Bible studies because they are Bible studies. A government that can close the borders to all Muslims simply on the basis of their religious belief can do the same thing for evangelical Christians. A government that issues ID badges for Muslims simply because they are Muslims can, in the fullness of time, demand the same for Christians because we are Christians.

Trump's rhetoric hands obama an embodiment of the straw man that he tries to use against us. We need to be the voice of reason and solutions, not the charicature that obama likes to paint. Trump is not doing us any favors.

My thought, too. Cruz just lost some supporters to Trump with that comment.

Cruz proposes a moratorium based on country of origin, instead of religion.

This accomplishes much the same thing — and avoids the media B.S.

After all, even Jimmah Carter banned Iranians. . . . .

"The President should place an immediate moratorium on refugees from countries with a significant al Qaeda or ISIS presence, such as Syria. I've introduced legislation to make this happen; it is not a desired step, but a necessary step for the security of the United States." -- Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz is wrong ... Yikes !

Wha ...???

With this simple phrase Cruz loses all credibility he had with me. He is a corporate K-Street whore.

If you don’t agree with Trump, then you are A-OKAY with American blood running in American streets.
