Dick Cheney Condemns Trump Plan to Ban Muslims From Entering U.S.
Time ^ | December 7th,2015 | Zeke J Miller

Former Vice President Dick Cheney condemned GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

In an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Cheney said the plan, which Trump announced Monday, “goes against everything we stand for and believe in.”

“I mean, religious freedom has been a very important part of our history and where we came from,” he added.

Cheney said that there is a “serious problem” when it comes to refugees from Syria and other countries in ensuring they don’t “represent ISIS.

“You’ve got to set up a vetting process—and that’s crucial,” he said.

“That’s not the Dick I know. Something is very, VERY wrong here”

Cheney has always taken the goat humper’s position. He was an early leader in gay rights, helped destroy the navy after Tailhook, etc. During Vietnam literally said he had “better things to do” than serve. Has been a lifelong of the patrician GOPe Bush wing of the party.

Just another establishment suckup. Fund raiser for Mitt, hates Sarah and Cruz.
Nothing conservative about Cheney.

Moslems are “Anti-Religous Freedom” and therefore unconstitutional...

Well, I guess that I was wrong. Cheney apparently whispered into W's ear that the Islam of Jihad is not.

May he enjoy his time in the liberal hellhole of Teton County.

The insane screaming coming from the right and left media, political hacks, etc., over Trump’s proposed Muslim immigration moratorium has revealed it all:

It’s now or never, time to man the barricades so to speak. It’s going to take a miracle but if the people stand together Trump can win it all. If they don’t, say hello to your Uniparty hack du jour. And say good bye to the values and traditions of this once great country forever.

I know one thing, I will not now nor will I ever vote for a Republican candidate again. Trump wins or I throw in the towel on the United States of America.

So, Cheney, we have to drastically change the way we import these people -- but not pause the broken system?

Tool.

He of all people should know that the socalled religion is a miltary tactic and the mosques are thier command centers

He sez this because his next ticket Jebby boy is now running a soap box campaign, his audience? the homeless, hobo’s, those looking for a job, family and those looking for favor

” a limited number of visas per country, number to be determined with prudence”

And white nations need a shot. Its almost impossible for a normal European or Russian to emigrate to here. I’ve had educated productive friends who couldn’t move here. They are still in France, the UK, Germany, and Russia.

Meanwhile tens of millions of the third worlders pour in.

Religion of pedo-killers.

You’re close. It would shut down Cheney’s buddies at the old Brown Root/ Halliburton ability to continue their massive middle east projects which earn them tens or hundreds of millions a year. Remember, for everyone but muslims it is about the money, for muzzies it is about ridding the world of infidels.

Yes - but a lot of Republicans (and Americans) still like Cheney.

This is a lot of piling on from Cruz/Cheney and midgets in the field.

Hopefully, Trump can stay strong

We certainly have excluded refugees based on their religion in the recent past, even during the Obama years!!!

You can look it up!!!

Cheney is one of the GOPe “Trump Cards” that’s now been put into play.

Cheney is part of the Neocon-Saudi Arabian alliance that believes in the Syrian Civil War process of supporting terrorist opponents of Assad that led to the creation of ISIS.

“All the establishment GOPers are circling the wagons. They know that if Trump wins, he will completely remake the Republican Party and today’s insiders will be on the outside looking in.
They are going to seize on any opportunity to knock Trump out of this race. Even if it means handing the White House to Shrillary.”

You bet they’re getting VERY nervous about a Trump win, but I’m not so certain Trump would try to remake the Republican Party. I think he’s wise enough to know that the core members of the GOPe are not likely to change. They can’t help themselves. It’s all they know. I DO, however, think it highly likely Trump would keep all those GOPe decision makers as far from his administration as humanly possible, even if for no other reason than they keep trying to both manipulate him and destroy him. That would be a minimum of 4 years those turds have essentially zero influence in the executive branch. Many fundamental issues will be decided in those four years, and with God’s blessings, the Uniparty will be sidelined the whole time. They’re more than worried. That’s why they’ve now gone to Cheney for help, and Cheney is making himself look very foolish with this.
