Trump Wonders if Obama Would've Attended Scalia Funeral if Held in Mosque
Politico ^

Posted on 02/20/2016 11:38:28 AM PST by TraditionalMerica

Donald Trump on Saturday questioned whether President Barack Obama would have skipped late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s funeral had it been held in a different venue: a mosque.

Scalia’s funeral Mass began Saturday morning in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the largest Roman Catholic church in the U.S. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama paid their respects to Scalia on Friday as he lay in repose in the Great Hall of the Supreme Court but did not attend the funeral.

The comment certainly elicited a smile from me. I will also point out, though, it is serious ammunition for when the beltway media really turn on Trump.

Obama was in a church and had Jesus covered up.

“And some people wonder why Trump is unstoppable?”

This question could have been used by ANY of the candidates, including Cruz.

Are they too weak to voice what they are thinking, or maybe this kind of thinking is way too far outside the box?

You’re a serious guy. Or gal.

I’m puzzled, seriously.

Why doesn’t Cruz raise these kinds of questions?

A lot of Democrats have an increasingly difficult time stepping on the consecrated ground of real Christians, if not that of faux-Christian pseudo-churches. They also intensely dislike seeing the Christian cross, Holy Water, and maybe even the smell of garlic, though I am unsure about that last one.

Some of them are even experiencing revulsion at the thought of Orthodox synagogues, or visiting Israel, especially its capital, Jerusalem.

Mosques, however, seem to present them no problem.

Trump usually gains the upperhand because he has the GUTS to speak the TRUTH.

"NO GUTS... NO GLORY!"

THIS is why people are supporting a man like Trump.

Yep, this is just one of the big factors. It should be required viewing. Another factor be eliminating those who develop the polices which aid and enable our own demise.

Stopping muslims from coming here is the one reason I’ll vote for Trump no matter what. It’s the only issue that matters to me at this point. Why? None of the other issues will matter when we’re living under Sharia law.

It is very instructive to go back and look at what candidates Cruz, Rubio & Trump thought was important and mentioned in their announcement speeches. This was the time to present what issues THEY thought important to them and and the American people.
Trump outlined so many issues while Rubio and Cruz just talked about Cuba and themselves. This is when I made up my mind.

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3396178/posts?page=1#1

On Terrorism, Isis, Islam, Middle East refugees:

Cruz March 2015

Imagine a president who says “We will stand up and defeat radical Islamic terrorism...” “... and we will call it by its name.”

THAT’s it!

But he mentioned CUBA FIVE TIMES! “torture in Cuba, growing up in Cuba, he flees Cuba, free Cuba from the dictator, Cuba was not at a peaceful time.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/transcript-ted-cruzs-speech-at-liberty-university/2015/03/23/41c4011a-d168-11e4-a62f-ee745911a4ff_story.html

RUBIO April 2015.....
NOTHING, not a word, but he mentioned CUBA twice! “Cuban exiles” and “poor families in Cuba” yes,we will pay salary to him and Cruz for a year while they campaign!

http://time.com/3820475/transcript-read-full-text-of-sen-marco-rubios-campaign-launch/

TRUMP June, 2015

Islamic terrorism is eating up large portions of the Middle East. They’ve become rich.

They just built a hotel in Syria. Can you believe this? They built a hotel. When I have to build a hotel, I pay interest. They don’t have to pay interest, because they took the oil that, when we left Iraq, I said we should’ve taken.

So now ISIS has the oil, and what they don’t have, Iran has. And in 19 — and I will tell you this, and I said it very strongly, years ago, I said — and I love the military, and I want to have the strongest military that we’ve ever had, and we need it more now than ever. But I said, “Don’t hit Iraq,” because you’re going to totally destabilize the Middle East. Iran is going to take over the Middle East, Iran and somebody else will get the oil, and it turned out that Iran is now taking over Iraq. Think of it. Iran is taking over Iraq, and they’re taking it over big league.

We get Bergdahl, they get five killer terrorists that everybody wanted over there. We get Bergdahl. We get a traitor.

Nobody would be tougher on ISIS than Donald Trump. Nobody. I will find — within our military, I will find the General Patton or I will find General MacArthur, I will find the right guy. I will find the guy that’s going to take that military and make it really work. Nobody, nobody will be pushing us around.

It is NOT permissible for a Muslim to attend the funeral of a non muslim.

I read this part of Art of the Deal.

It is all anyone needs to know about Trump’s judgement, and lack thereof.


But if you don’t deliver the goods, people will eventually catch on.

I think of Jimmy Carter. After he lost the election to Ronald Reagan, Carter came to see me in my office. He told me he was seeking contributions to the Jimmy Carter library. I asked how much he had in mind. And he said, “Donald I would be very appreciative if you contributed 5 million dollars.”

I was dumbfounded. I didn’t even answer him.

But that experience also taught me something. Until then, I never understood how Jimmy Carter became president. The answer is that as poorly qualified as he was for the job, Jimmy Carter had the nerve, the guts, the balls, to ask for something extraordinary. That ability above all helped him get elected president. But then, of course, the American people caught on pretty quickly that Carter couldn’t do the job, and he lost in a landslide when he ran for reelection.

Ronald Reagan is another example. He is so smooth and so effective a performer that he completely won over the American people. Only now, nearly seven years later, are people beginning to question whether there’s anything beneath that smile.

I see the same thing in my business, which is full of people who talk a good game but don’t deliver

Even Reagan wasn’t the conservative everyone thinks. He had feet of clay. At least Trump has never signed an abortion liberalization bill....

Reagan Gets Bill Easing Abortion In California - Jun 14, 1967

June 14, 1967 The California Assembly passed and sent to Governor Reagan a bill easing the state’s abortion law, unchanged in 95 years.
Reagan said the bill was “by no means perfect” and would have to be watched closely to prevent California from becoming an abortion haven. But he said he would sign it despite his doubts about some possible “loopholes.”
“I am fully sympathetic with attempts to liberalize the outdated abortion law now on the law books of California,” the freshman governor said....
The bill...would permit abortions before the 20th week of pregnancy if:

-The prospective mother’s physical or mental health is in danger.

-The pregnancy resulted from incest or forcible rape, or statutory rape in the case of a girl 14 years old or younger.

The old law permits abortions only if the life of the prospective mother is endangered.
