If being born in American doesn't make you an American then what are you suggesting we do, start making every single person in the "States" take a loyalty test and wear an American flag pin so we can tell the good guys from the bad?

Maybe your definition of "an American citizen" needs redefining.
I like most Americans will be increasingly suspect of anyone that looks middle-eastern. Let these sleepers feel the heat.

So what should be the definition of an American citizen?

We were wrong to allow his parents in.

Oh that's nice.

So I guess anybody who's of Latino, Italian, Indian, Greek, Eastern European, Israeli, Portuguese, or any other ethnicity that can resemble 'Middle Eastern' is fair game for persecution, right?

Damn. I'd better dye my hair blonde and start using skin bleaching creams ASAP then. I have too much melanin to pass as anglo, too little to pass as black, and I'm obviously not East Asian. Guess that puts me in 'Middle Eastern' camp. Probably literally, if people like you had your way...

Exactly.

His parents were working with the American military back in their own country and allowed in for their own protection when things got too hot for them. We did the same thing for many Vietnamese and Koreans back in their day.

From the sounds of it, they'd probably just throw anyone with dark hair and olive complexion into a concentration camp.

That's actually a brilliant strategy by stating that.

He's not profiting politically by saying "hey, I told you another attack would happen." but he puts the onus on the radicalists, something that everyone can agree with.

I was getting a haircut and the woman who was cutting my hair was whining about Trump, regarding his ban on Muslims, I said it was a temporary ban.(which the media always leaves out the word temporary).

Ironic thing was her 9 year old daughter was in the shop as there was no school. I said "well your kid is out of school due to a terrorist threat, what should we do about people coming in who want to do us harm?"

Crickets....LOL. Some people just can't bare to hear the truth, it's more important to be PC rather than address this issue.

How's that working?




Thank You I believe some people live truly in LA LA LAND, and do not use their heads. I cannot stand people that are ignorant to the core, because a whole bunch of people say it is so. And by gosh, they believe it is use your damn heads.


What the hell do most of these idiots think is going on here, a game, no game this is real, and going to get much worse, because it can. What happened last night, what if one of those who died, was your family member now put yourself in the family's shoes. How would you feel right now today, your loved one is no longer here, your tune would change.
