One of Donald Trump’s political skills is giving widely condemned speeches.
His post-Orlando jeremiad fit the pattern, but the speech was a little like Wagner’s music as described in the famous Mark Twain line: Not as bad as it sounds. There is something so inherently inflammatory in Trump’s delivery that he could read the Gettysburg Address and some listeners would wonder how he could possibly say such a thing.
The kernel of Trump’s speech was rather obvious: “The bottom line is that the only reason the killer was in America in the first place was because we allowed his family to come here. That is a fact, and it’s a fact we need to talk about.”
The reaction of much of the opinion elite was nearly instantaneous: Whatever we do, let’s not talk about that fact.
Countless articles have been written on how much better we are at assimilating Muslim immigrants than Europe is, usually with back-patting over our openness and fluidity as a society in contrast to the self-defeating insularity of a country like France....

Trump or die ...
It's called speaking the truth.
“It’s called speaking the truth. “
Which is an offense to the politically correct.
Yes, ‘speaking the Truth.’ They killed the prophets, don’t forget. Trump is saying, “The Emperor has no clothes,” and that sets them off like nobody’s business. Go Trump.
The National Review hated Trump...now they love him...whatever... if he is not elected I seriously doubt we still have a country by 2020
This election is very, very simple:
Vote Trump: We save America and the American People
Vote Hillary: We all die and so does America
Vote any other idiot: Same as Hillary
Speaking the truth in a time of universal deceit is a revolutionary act
We love the sound of Trump. Like the sound of a trumpet. Calling us to battle. A certain, not confused, sound.
Trump sounds great to me and a lot of others. Maybe bad to those ears who have been attuned to political correctness. Those ears need a thorough cleaning.
Around her in So Cal you’d be very hard pressed to find a liquor store or gas station that isn’t owned and operated by immigrants from middle east countries. This invasion’s been going on for decades and that is a part of it. It didn’t start under Obama but he’s sure making it much worse.
The reaction of much of the opinion elite was nearly instantaneous: Whatever we do, let’s not talk about that fact.
FU, Paul Ryan and the rest of the DC Cartel/Uniparty.
Absolutely correct.
I sold my two liquor stores in the early 80’s to Iraqi’s. Both stores are still successful and located in the East County of San Diego (El Cajon and Lakeside).
They were NOT Moslems. They were Caldeans - Catholic Iraqi’s but Arabs, nonetheless.
Islam is the threat . Obama brought 1 milion Muslims “refugees” in to live in America, not just from Syria but all Muslim countries
Here’s the proof:

. Then once here Muslims breed like rabbits and overtake us then it’s genocide for us non-Islamics.They want us dead. 9/11/01 showed that. Obama is a traitor.
As usual, Lowry gives a bunch of squishy, milquetoast proposals to avoid France’s experience with non-assimilated masses of muslim immigrants
The answer is much more simple - a strict travel ban with approx. 20 nations of the Mideast, North Africa and Af-Pak
Mr. Trump speaks truth to power.
Trump is right.
Now, re:
“we are at assimilating Muslim immigrants than Europe”
We are accepting THEM, but THEY are NOT ‘assimilating’.
They demand we do things THEIR way, THEIR foods, THEIR religion and politics.
NOT assimilation, is a bloody INVASION BY DEFAULT!!!
Right, This Orlando terrorist was born in the USA but he was a still a Muslim . His loyalty was to Islam , evil Islam. Islam is an evil cult that must be kept out of America.
I believe his parents came to the US during the Reagan administration.
His father NEVER assimilated into this country, this shooter was full of hate from childhood he was expelled or suspended from school 47 times, was turned down fron several police academies!!! YET PASSED all background checks for HOMELAND SECURITY contractor!!! Our ENTIRE government is inept !!!!!! Trump is going to have a VERY ROUGH time he is a perfectionist!!! Gosh I hope he survives how TRULY STUPID our government has become!!!
“Donald Trump does the cause of immigration restriction a disservice by rendering it in caricature.”
Rich Lowry is such an elitist pr*ck. Trump did this country a great service by raising the issue of putting a temporary halt to rampant Muzzie immigration when no one else did. But Lowry damns Trump with faint praise by saying Trump was the one to raise the issue but that somehow the way he raised it was deficient, a mere caricature. Lowry’s constant smug superiority makes me sick.
