Business insider left this part of his speech out for some reason....

The second step is you have to monitor what they're doing on the Internet. The third step is, let me be very clear, you have to monitor the mosques.

Thank you Newt for proving why Trump was wise to skip you

Thank you Newt for proving why Trump was wise to skip you

Trump has not skipped or picked anyone yet.

There are probably very few restrictions on non-citizens that you and I would disagree about.
Newt’s comments might have been taken out of context, but the article makes it sound like he is talking about citizens.
You could de-naturalize citizens if they lied during their naturalization hearing. For example if someone pledged allegiance to the constitution of the united states but you could prove they actually held allegiance to a different system of laws you could argue that their pledge was false.

Take them to the waterline and tell them start swimming.

Sharks got to eat...

[Let's Roll]

And of course no muzzie would lie.

We don’t take the word of other criminals just this new protected class.

[bassmaner]

We need a new constitutional amendment for an ‘Islam exception’ to the 1st Amendment.

[Twinkie]

So . . then they won’t LIE on that test? /s

[slowhandluke]

Think the right things? We have no way to test that, unfortunately.

Say the right things? We have no way to prove honesty, unfortunately. And for muslims, lying to defend or spread Islam is approved.

Attend a mosque - that is provable and sufficient, IMHO.

Shows what Newt knows: Taqiya (تقیة taqiyyah/taqīyah, literally "prudence, fear, caution")[1][2] is an Islamic term referring to precautionary dissimulation or denial of religious belief and practice in the face of persecution.[3][4][1][5] This practice is emphasized in Shia Islam whereby adherents are permitted to conceal their religion when under threat of persecution or compulsion.[3][6] However, it is also permitted in Sunni Islam under certain circumstances

Just so!

The Constitution is not a suicide pact!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Constitution_is_not_a_suicide_pact

“The Constitution is not a suicide pact” is a phrase in American political and legal discourse. The phrase expresses the belief that constitutional restrictions on governmental power must be balanced against the need for survival of the state and its people. It is most often attributed to Abraham Lincoln, as a response to charges that he was violating the United States Constitution by suspending habeas corpus during the American Civil War. Although the phrase echoes statements made by Lincoln, and although versions of the sentiment have been advanced at various times in American history, the precise phrase “suicide pact” was first used by Justice Robert H. Jackson in his dissenting opinion in Terminiello v. Chicago, a 1949 free speech case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. The phrase also appears in the same context in Kennedy v. Mendoza-Martinez, a 1963 U.S. Supreme Court decision written by Justice Arthur Goldberg.

Thomas Jefferson offered one of the earliest formulations of the sentiment, although not of the phrase. In 1803, Jefferson’s ambassadors to France arranged the purchase of the Louisiana territory in conflict with Jefferson’s personal belief that the Constitution did not bestow upon the federal government the right to acquire or possess foreign territory. Due to political considerations, however, Jefferson disregarded his constitutional doubts, signed the proposed treaty, and sent it to the Senate for ratification. In justifying his actions, he later wrote:

“A strict observance of the written law is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to the written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the ends to the means.”

Test citizens for their beliefs and punish them if they don’t think the right things?

U.S. Constitution, Article III, section 3:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

US Constitution; 5th Amendment:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger....

Nah. It's the English word for trebuchet.

Well played!

[ctdonath2]

I’m with you; I’m just concerned about getting the rhetoric right.

Islam IS a religion.
And I have no problem (tacitly) with the notion that a religion should fully inform citizens’ views about culture and law, and should seek to influence accordingly.
As such, methinks Christianity need be more involved & persuasive, not giving into the relentless “separation” imperative atheists push.
Attacking Islam as a religion, under the 1st amendment, will give us troubles in solving the problem because doing so- that way - is self destructive to our core principles. Abandon those and we’re lost.

That said, methinks we CAN meet and win over the assault from Islam on our core principles. Emphasize and defend ALL religions under the “fair play” and “mutual respect” of the Constitution; bust “no go zones” with extreme prejudice; forcefully defend women’s rights; treat out extremist violence by the roots with great vigor. Make clear the individual faithful are welcome, but attempts to dominate are unwelcome and backed with force, that sharia cannot and will not take root here, ever.

Apply our principles, don’t abandon them. That will win.
