TRUMP: US SHOULD ‘HELP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE,’ WITH REFUGEE CRISIS, ‘POSSIBLY’ LET SOME IN
Breitbart ^ | 5 SEPT 2015 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 09/07/2015 12:37:22 PM PDT by South40

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stated that while “There’s only so much we can do. We have to fix our own country” the US should “help as much as possible” with the European refugee crisis and “possibly” let some refugees into the US on Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Trump was asked about the European refugee crisis and, “Should we be letting some of those people into this country?”

He answered, “So horrible on a humanitarian basis when you see that. It’s like incredible what’s going on. But, you know, we have so many problems. And the answer is possibly yes, Cokie, possibly yes.

If it’s Christians yes. We owe them that much. Hell what we should really be doing is have our military over there slaughtering Muslims and taking their oil for payment, that’s the least we can do since we caused a lot of this, but anyone else, hell no we shouldn’t let them in!

Liberals favorite methodology is to print part of a statement.

Is Breitbart liberal?

Or are you saying I am, South40, the poster who finds Donald Trump to be too liberal is a liberal? Whichever you choose you reveal yourself to be a moron. But you're used to that, I'm sure.

Tell us again how Donald Trump's height and golf game will make him a better president. lol!

You used liberal’s favorite method.....quoting part of a very long statement. In my opinion that is not honest. I do not think YOU are a liberal.

've never seen members of FR become so enraptured with a candidate and willing to ignore any serious faults. I'll give Trump credit for getting in front of the immigration crisis and willing to do something about it.

Trump is a liberal, many of his supporters don't even deny that. Any and all FReepers who dare question his words or intentions are attacked as you can see in this thread. It is strange, to say the least. Trump, a liberal, is being defended by so-called "conservatives" in this conservative forum. Strange indeed.

But that is not the only issue. Screaming at questioners that he'll study a problem after he gets elected is just not suitable.

It is reminiscent of Pelosi's "you have to pass the bill to find out what's in it" spiel. And many here are all for it. Again, very strange.

You questioning my honesty is almost as humorous as your saying Trump would make a good president because he is good at golf.

So do you believe Breitbart is liberal...after all, it was their article.

Different reply from the later one. Same thing in Europe. And most of those in the region who aren't Muslims are commies who hate the U.S.A. and Israel anyway. They've fought alongside the rest while trying to destroy the West. Have a nice day. :-)

In writing my book on suicide attackers, I had researchers scour Lebanese sources to collect martyr videos, pictures and testimonials and the biographies of the Hezbollah bombers. Of the 41, we identified the names, birth places and other personal data for 38. Shockingly, only eight were Islamic fundamentalists. Twenty-seven were from leftist political groups like the Lebanese Communist Party and the Arab Socialist Union. Three were Christians, including a female high-school teacher with a college degree. All were born in Lebanon.

Harb pledges to be forceful president [Maronite "ready to fight" Israel, "protect Hezbollah"]

"Beirut: Boutros Harb, long-serving Maronite Lebanese Member of Parliament, is standing for president and reaching out to the Shiite Hezbollah, across the political divide in the country.

[...]

"I have proposed that the Lebanese army and government must be in control of declaring war, and that we should find a way to incorporate Hezbollah's forces into the army. But this has to be on the condition that the Lebanese government and army accept the full duty of being ready to fight and protect Hezbollah if Israel attacks," he said, adding that it was also important that Lebanon had to liberate the occupied territory of the Sheba'a Farms from Israel."

Michel Aoun, a one-time commander in Lebanon's 15-year civil war who now serves in parliament, said . . . "I don't think that Israel has the capability to destroy Hezbollah militarily because Hezbollah is not a group of armed men," Aoun said. "Hezbollah is a major part of the Lebanese social fabric."

Sorry nobody on here is “enraptured” by Trump’s star power or charisma so that they have forgotten what it means to be a conservative. The truth may be hard to face, but the truth is he is very conservative on many things— somewhat conservative on others and goes off the path on others.. On what many people feel is his main issue of immigration he is the most conservative person running..

Donald needs to watch the numbers video on immigration. We cannot help people here.

You are correct. I saw that again today when I showed it to a friend.

Again, you and I can say, “Hell no!!” but not someone on an international stage with certain people waiting like vultures to devour him over every word he utters.

Yet, isn't this why we are lionizing Trump -- becausee he's willing to stand up, speak up, be politically incorrect and say "Hell, no!"?

So, why is he equivocating in this case?

It isn't what I think it is what his long liberal history proves him to be. A liberal.

And I have said many times, I am all for him sticking it to the GOPe. I just do not believe a liberal should be the Republican nominee. Frankly, I'm shocked anyone here would disagree. Yet they do.

Really! that’s your list of big accomplishments? You and I are not even on the same planet. How do those combined justify or compare on any scale with Cruz’s vote for TPA or the corker amendment? Ether of which has a probable huge negative consequence for America? Do you believe Cruz voted for TPA or the corker bill because he believed it was the best thing for Americans. Or as I believe, that he voted for them due to pressure from his donors and the gope.

Maybe if you keep repeating that Trump is a liberal or a socialist or a communist enough times everyone will agree with you.. Or maybe say Trump is just like Obama-— that will work... </s>
