the greatest tragedy the world has ever known

A few scores of millions in the USSR and China might take exception to that claim.

Same old crap from the Open Borders crowd, always portraying themselves as victims in order to try to silence opposition to their project of mass Third World immigration in order to displace Americans in our own country.

Interesting how they wail and cry tears about the possibility of reduced Islamic immigration into the USA, but if you ask them whether Israel should open its borders to mass Islamic immigration, the answer is “Of course not!”

Now it will be even sweeter when Tom wipes the floor with Mr. Blank’s team.

Our country was built on the idea of a melting pot. People came from many different countries and were admitted to the U.S.A. To become Americans and contribute their skills for the benefit of our country. Of course traditions and languages from their native lands were important how ever the new arrivals learned the English language and American history.
One of the reasons the candidacy of Hillary Clinton failed was because she saw America as a Balkanized nation. She targeted groups; Hispanics, Jews, Muslims, Blacks, Big labor, big business, Open Borders Advocates, Media Companies who benefited from abuse of H1B Visas that discriminated against Americans in favor of cheaper foreign labor.
Arthur Blank is a Huge supporter of the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton and obviously shares those values.

We are a nation in which the majority are idiots.

Fact is, every nation has a majority of idiots. That's why pure democracy is so bad. We had a republican form of government where only select people could vote (male landowners over the age of 21, was it?). In that way, the truly worthless were weeded out. But somehow everybody got the idea that the more people who voted the better, and so now we have a voting population full of every two-bit loser wailing for a piece of everybody else's pie. Honestly, a monarchy would almost be better than the dumbed-down system we have now.

You are right. Hillary and the Democrats only care about the groups they select. They have NEVER selected my group: white American Catholic of German descent.

Boo Hoo! I am going to find a corner and cry like a baby.

Blank himself is Jewish.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft is ALSO Jewish...and is actually a practicing Jew, and is a strong supporter and friend of Trump's.

“America started without any of us, other than Native American Indians.

BULLCRAP. There is NO such thing as a "native" American. NO human was native to this continent. ALL came from somewhere also. NO land was "stolen." History was determined by the victory of the strong or more advanced over the weak or less advanced.

The only response to the murder of 6 million Jews that really matters is the might of the Israel Defense Force. The Muslims would slaughter every Jew in Israel if not for Israel’s weapons and military know how. And if antisemitism gets worse in other parts of the world, every Jew can move to Israel and be protected.

All the hatred that was directed at the Jewish people for 2,000 years is now being directed at the Jewish State. So what did Arthur Blank have to say about Obama selling Israel down the river? Not a word.

My grandparents escaped the antisemitic pogroms of Eastern Europe. And I can tell you that, as a Jew, nothing makes me prouder than to see the Star of David on an Israeli bomber jet.

I don’t need candlelight vigils and Remembrance days. “Never again” only sounds good to me when it’s spoken quietly by an IDF officer after mowing down some terrorists.

Yes, the great inclusionary Arthur Blankety-Blank recently purchased another six thousand acres just north of Yellowstone Park in Montana, bringing his contiguous holdings to over 16,000 acres...

...which he so very inclusionarily opens to a select few multi-millionaires like himself, but of course no one else, certainly not shabby local working-class hikers, hunters or fishermen....the self-glorifying a-hole....

The ONLY good defense, is a good offense. A proactive government that will not allow outside dangers in, and a proactive populous to keep government from getting too large.

These people are shameless in their misunderstanding of Trump’s point in vetting potentially dangerous infiltrators.

Trump needs to articulate the point better.

Screw Blank! I was rooting for the Falcons but now it’s “Go Patriots” for me.
