You'd enjoy an entire region of the world turned into a nuclear holocaust, with rampant cases of cancer, destruction, death, etc? Have you actually looked at pictures of Nagasaki or Hiroshima after we dropped those bombs on them? And you want to do that to a WHOLE region? Wow... You scare me more than the terrorists do.
What scares me is there's a huge segment of the population that believe this. They want a genocide of all Muslims, and it's not just a small community of conspiracy nuts who believe this. Look at every speech Obama has given on the subject, every single time he has tried to stress that this isn't a war on Islam or Muslims and that the vast majority of them are not bad. No one is listening to that though.
It should be noted that even Bush didn't want to create a war against Islam (despite is poor choice of words calling for a new Crusade and all).
Geo rge W. Bush Needs to Speak to His Party
Six days after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, then-President George W. Bush gave brief remarks at the Islamic Center of Washington, just a short drive from the White House. “These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith,” Bush said. “The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace. They represent evil and war.”
Bush couldn’t stop or defuse anti-Muslim prejudice. That was impossible, and just a few weeks after he spoke, a 51-year-old Yemeni-American man was shot to death outside of his store, two days after someone left a note—“We’re going to kill all f--king Arabs”—on his car windshield. But what Bush did, successfully, was keep anti-Islam and anti-Muslim rhetoric out of national politics. He made clear that the United States was fighting a war against terrorists—not Muslims—and reminded Americans that “the majority of the victims of the terrorists have been innocent Muslims.”
Times have gotten really weird if we need to rely on Dubya to fix things...
In Germany only 7% of the population were willingly Nazi's. Trumps support is about 30% of the 40% that identify as Republicans. That means 12% of the US supports this rhetoric. We have nearly twice as many people per capita in the US right now who support genocide against an entire religion than Germany had.
Here we have a guy who wants to be a leader spouting the same ideology as Hitler and in some cases the same speeches, and his support base is twice as high. That should scare you.
It does. It REALLY worries me. I'm seriously banking on the recent statistics from the last two Presidential elections that show that a candidate cannot be elected to President banking on the white demographic alone anymore.
61,333 bad guys were killed, the US lost 4,425 people. That's a kill ratio of about 14:1. No offense but that's not effectively using guns, if they were effective you wouldn't be here to tell me otherwise.
if they were effective you wouldn't be here to tell me otherwise.

im a strict constitutional conservative
The replies I always get from Trump supporters is "Youre just scare of him, you want Bernie or Hillary"
Even though my post history is CLEARLY conservative
Logic has gone out the window with this lot, I harbor no ill will to them, but they are doing what they accused the Obama voters of doing twice , and running on emotion and feelings, rather than logic and substance.
Anyone who doesnt agree automatically only wants Hillary or Bernie, like magically there are no other options , dare I say its the same method as "you just dont like him because hes black"
i know. Its pathetic. The same people who bemoan partasianship are being as partasian as you can get.
Personally I favour Rand Paul myself.
But hey its trump or the hilderbest no 3rd option in there minds

I like how you conveniently left out the rest of the coalition troops, do you think the US was the only ones serving?
You also left out the number WOUNDED
With all due respect, you have no idea what the hell you are talking about, so dont try to tell me about how well trained or armed these people were, again you werent there........and you intentionally skewed your numbers to try and reinforce your feeble point , that Citizens wouldnt have a chance against the gov with "their guns"
You also forget the huge amount of retired military and currently enlisted military personnel that would immediately change course......Remember Egypt?
Do you think for an instant we would be alone in the fight?

The above post is one of the most ignorant and ridiculous ones I have ever seen. Even basic logic seems to have catastrophically failed.
'It's Obama's fault, so Trump isn't like Hitler.'
That doesn't even make any sense.
Trump is not Hitler, obviously, but his suggested policies are almost identical to what Hitler did.
Oh, and on a note, it's not "Obama and the current administration," it's "the administration going back to Reagan."

President Trump...It not only could happen. It's happening.
Like the rest of you in the beginning I didn't take Trump very serious.
Well, he is up 20% on the GOP field and that is before San Bernadino.
Trump has guts. Americans are patient people. But, we are not cowards.
We will not tolerate another religion or culture demanding we Worship their way.
So what I believe you are seeing is a message to the rest of the World.
We will elect Trump. We will go Postal on your a$$ if you don't knock it off.
After all that has happened. You might just see how it rolls off your tongue...
President Trump
