I could give two flips about Muslim immigration. It's all about keeping our people safe.

It would go a long way to keeping the people of this country safe and I'm all for it.

Obama says the majority of Muslims are friendly peace loving people... but the majority isn't the problem.

If only 1/10 of 1% of the next 1,000,000 to immigrate to the US have ties to terrorism that means that we only have to worry about 1000 of them killing our people at any given moment.

Hope you sleep well at night.

Is anyone surprised?

"It was the most memorable time of my life. It was a touching moment because I never thought this day would ever happen. I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car. I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage. You know, if I help him, he's gonna help me."



As long as the free stuff is available the Democrats will get those votes.

An interesting website (Reuter's Poll).

Reuters Polling

Linked to another question:


"In 2016, if the election for U.S. Congress were held today (June 14th), would you vote for the Democratic candidate or the Republican candidate for U.S. Congress in your district where you live?"


41 percent say Democrat
29.1 percent say Republican.


No wonder that the RNC desires to Dump Trump.


As for the Muslim ban, it is silly from beginning to end.

Are you surprised? People are scared. Not that some of them were exactly the most logical or rational thinkers to begin with, but a Muslim ban would make them feel better, even if it really didn't solve anything now.

There's even a chance a Muslim ban would force ISIS to have to try and recruit and radicalize even more American citizens. A immigration ban isn't suddenly going to stop ISIS. Although it may help prevent future attacks years down the road, it doesn't do a lot today.



And I'm totally, totally sure Donald thought of all that.

^ That's sarcasm.

Some people are still voting Hillary because Trump was right.

How come all the outrage now and not when Obama and Hillary supported a ban and actually put into play a temporary halt for 6 months?

How come the outrage now - but not when Obama did it before? Hypocritical isn't it!

I'd bet dollars to donuts that making cell phones inoperable in moving vehicles would save more lives than banning Muslim immigration, how about talking about doing something useful Donny?

Where do you learn math? White males are 35% of the population, Muslim males are 1%. If the death toll from each group was the same (it's not) then Muslims would have a 35X higher per risk.

This sort of comment keeps coming up, that does not make it right? They both wrong. So why does Obama keep focusing on banning guns? Why not banning cell phones?
