Trump’s Proposed Muslim Immigration Moratorium Is the Wrong Response to Political Correctness

It's "reasonable" until the shoe is on the other foot and the "wheels of power" start going into churches saying there are religious extremists there (note, "religious extremists" has become the Left's preferred usage).

I've been hearing this "Shoe is on the other foot" talk in relation to liberals and I believe it's fundamentally flawed.

It rests upon the notion that liberals have any sort of principles which restrain their actions.

If they possessed any self restraint, they wouldn't be liberals.

It's as noble (and empty) as thinking that if you don't torture terrorists, they won't torture you...or that if you don't kill the bear, it won't kill you.

RATs do what they can get away with, period.

True enough!

What the USA needs is more Muslims! /s

...but we DON'T want the Irish!

[Rodamala]

You are aware that there is a whole post from Cruz people claiming that he had the idea first?

I was not aware such a thing existed... but that is probably because it doesn't.

[VanDeKoik]

You’re kidding, right?

[Tucker39]

And IMHO, that is why Trump is precisely, dead nuts correct in the position he is advocating.

[Rodamala]

No kidding. I naturally doubt any alleged fact some “Yes we can! Yes we can” Trumpanzee offers right now.

Kiss Our Intelligence Apparatus Goodnight. We need to work with Muslims both foreign and domestic.

And how's that working out? We get nada from the inhouse muslim community now, and the muslims in the cia/dod/state are busy making it impossible to even talk about islamic imperalism or islamic terrorism.

Seriously do you guys have some sort of issue where this is the bull you keep using?

[USS Alaska]

Neither do you, you snarky, pompous, bitter witch.

If I'd call her a dyslexic cunning runt, that might be close to the line.

perhaps defining islam as something other than a religion.

It is not a religion as commonly defined in the Judeo Christian West. It is an ideology that dictates rules for every aspect of life including religion, politics, justice, marriage, hygiene, sexuality, law, science...

It's adherents are commanded by their "god" to dominate the world, overthrow governments, slaughter unbelievers and enslave those to timid or unable to fight and subjugate all women.

It's tenets command muslims to terrorize infidels, to rape, behead, crucify and pillage all that are not muslim or not muslim enough.

It's time we quit asking "What did we do to offend you? Please don't hurt us."

We need to start saying "HELL NO! WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!"

[Tucker39]

Yes, you are succinctly correct. As Shakespeare said, “Brevity is the soul of wit.” You and I and most right thinking Americans would understand exactly what you said.

But truth be told; I doubt if even after all the detail I went into in my reply, most Libtards understand what I was saying, or care to. Instead, they will use the patented Obama dodge of ignoring it, and continue to bash Trump.

[Rodamala]

You forgot Trumpeteers.
