People forget that the revolutionary period was a heightened state of affairs from about 1735 to 1775.

So true. American are forgiving and tolerant but can only take so much. I can imagine they reached their tipping point right before 1776.

You can almost feel these guys talking to us:

Yes...Sir! I agree with you and will, in the future refrain from bringing up the press...

Trump might have just jumped the shark.

He just handed the other side a huge club to hit him with.

They have lots of clubs, they use them to keep you in line. Shut up and play ball and we won't hit you - much. Surely you don't think the answer to dealing with an enemy is to carefully avoid upsetting them?

What seems to be happening is that they are grabbing their clubs one by one, and watching them splinter as they swing away. They will run out of clubs eventually, or run out of strength to swing them.

If Trump continues to be successful he will have through multiple inoculations built up the required immunity necessary to survive the general election, and the inevitable politically correct attacks they will use to save Hillary. Witness Lazio invading Hillary's safe space.

Rather than slinking away under the pressure of the offended media like Lazio did, Trump would be able to say something like: 'Poor baby. There is no safe space now since we're at war with Jihadists thanks to you and President Dumbo breaking the World'.

And after Obama's weak speech, nobody should want to be aligned with him. 'Muslims are our coworkers' - is that supposed to give people a sense of safety after a 'co-worker' killed 14?

Why not?
What are a mere 14 American lives compared to "hurting the feelings" of 1,500,000,000 muslims?

Besides, none of the dead are family or close friends of Barak Hussein...

At this point, what difference does it make?

This is a conservative forum and you talk about a conservative in this way?

No one can claim superior conservatism than mine.
It is what it is. I reject the "party uber alles" approach to mindless attacks.

Cruz DID use (lawyerly) weasel words!

Trump didn't say that, and all the Trump people on TV tonight are saying this applies only to NEW entrants, not folks already here legally.

Not exactly accurate.
If memory serves me right, it also INCLUDED (fake) American muslim "citizens" who travel to ISIL controlled countries and return, or totally proven koranimal countries like Yemen and Pakistan, for any given reason, real or invented.

No one should have the balls to presume to tell us who we are, least of all that incompetent ass Hussein, or the koranimals themselves...

That graphic is a brilliant use of sub-conscience brain washing.

Has nobody commented on your "sub-conscience..." phrase?
You might want to check that.

I heard him say that any American Citizen who goes to fight for ISIS should not be let back in,
That is what heard Trump say in a video clip on Gretta tonight.

And the problem with that is....?

Treason, aiding and abetting a de facto active enemy has historically been grounds for either execution or loss of citizenship, which must apply both to phony or real "natural born" citizens...
