Does anyone here that disagrees with Trumps idea of closing off the country to Muslims, have a better idea to protect Americans from a (Islamic) terror attack?
We here politicians talk constantly about protecting the country and it's citizens.
If we are actively at war with a certain type of individual, wouldn't make sense to keep that type out of the country?

Yet his support and numbers continue to increase while you continue to talk about him being consistently devoid of actual facts. I'd rather the lie of a thousand dancing muslims than the lie of a video being responsible, or if you like your plan you can keep it, period. Did the dancing muslims comment hurt you? Because not keeping my original plan that I liked hurt my finances.

That's an uncomfortable question to ask considering the recent events with Robert Dear. What if Christian extremism continues to gain momentum? Do we round-up Christians and treat them like Muslim extremists?
If not, why not.
What these Christian Right wingers don't understand is that they are advocating for the very actions and policies that may be used against them if they continue to radicalize.

Just look at this thread. I'M the bad guy here for calling Trump out.
You have to remember how simple minded most Americans have become. If Trump were to have done the crap his doing now back in the 50's he would have been thrown out of politics because back then people were more intelligent than they are now. All we are seeing now is just how successful the dumbing down of America has been.

Where did I ever endorse Hillary? This topic is about Trump.
Perhaps your guilty conscience? I never said you endorsed her. Don't deflect about the topic.

No, you're the scared guy. Calling everyone else scared.

I've been feeling the same way about the polarization. I have a serious feeling that another Democrat is going to win the Presidential election again, exposing that the hateful rhetoric of even the mainstream GOP candidates isn't going to get them elected anymore. This will herald in more years of increasing divisive politics. At some point that divisiveness needs to be addressed or it will boil over into violence.
When your number one enemy is your political opponent, that's what happens. Anyone who truly thinks hillary is the answer is more or less supporting the future violence because so far it's her and obama that think the right are their #1 enemy. That's their greatest threat along with global warming. How a person can't see that ridiculousness is beyond me.
Are there any Hillary supporters on this site? I'm yet to see one. Plus, I agree with Krazyshot. I haven't thought of muslims at all today until I started reading ATS. I won't say I haven't noticed an issue. But I don't wake up fearing for my life and don't think banning all muslims is the right answer. Sorry I keep adding to the post, but banning all muslims would be the same as banning all christians. The extremists of each of the religions spread hate in similar ways.

Heh... The hypocrisy amasses when you people call your political opponents simple minded. Look how intelligent LBJ was in the 60's... That S.O.B. knew exactly what he was doing.

I'm sorry, but there is no excuse for defending Trump's rhetoric anymore. We need to just label it for what it is and push to get him removed from running for the Presidency. He's hateful and divisive, and we don't need divisive. ESPECIALLY divisive on purpose (which is what Trump is).
Why because you say so?
No, because it's wrong. I don't know about you, but I was raised not to hurt other people and that includes saying hateful things.
Oh I get it, because one of the biggest jokes in journalism besides msnbc the huffpost said so?
Fox news is a straight up legit open honest news source compared to huffpost. Which is hilarious, because I would believe I was on fire even if I saw the flames if fox said it.
Lol. It's amusing to see you desperately try to defend intolerant behavior and rhetoric by deflecting onto the messengers.
Well here in the real world, we dont treat people with kid gloves.
Glad you were mommy and daddys special little snow flake, but in the real world, nobody cares about your feelings.
In your version of reality, hurt feelings trump facts.
Grow up. You know what I mean. Just because we can say intolerant things doesn't mean we should. It's mean and we can explain our positions and grievances rather easily without using hateful rhetoric. It's called talking things out and it's the adult thing to do instead of just yelling ignorance at the echo chamber to get back patting.
In reality, your feelings can not be hurt by anyone but yourself, because have to allow the oppinions of others to influence your own self worth, they cant do that for you, only you can allow it to happen.
In reality it has nothing to do with my feelings. It's just the right thing to do.
Just like I cant make you angry, it is you that decides to allow my oppinion to effect you in such a way.
It is why we have an amendment that guarantees me the right to offend you, and not one that guarantees you the right not to be offended.
I hate this rhetoric. Just because we are allowed to be intolerant and hateful doesn't mean we should. Whatever happened to the Christian ideal of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you? I certainly wouldn't like things like that said about me, so I know that I shouldn't be saying them myself.
Glad ya asked... They're getting done to them, what they're doing to us. It doesn't just apply to Christians, you knew that, right?
My co-worker is a Muslim with a green card. What did he ever do to you that deserves the treatment said about him by idiots like Trump or that he shouldn't be allowed in the country?
Can we ban Christians because they blow up abortion clinics too?

Sure, ban anyone that's not already in America. I know 14 people in San Bernandino that had a muslim co-worker that was said by many to be very peaceful and quiet. I'm advocating for the stop of all people to America until we can fix our own problems. We're overpopulated anyways.

So what you pretty much said here is that you have no problem with liars and will support one as long as the lies support your confirmation bias. What makes you any different than a rabid Hillary supporter?
Not much.
That position lacks integrity, honesty and intelligence.

I can see you agree with KrazySh0t. Both of you act like I said y'all are hillary supporters. But y'all are both krazy if you think she's not going to be the other choice. You'll have to choose one. I don't wake up fearing muslims, nor does anyone else I would assume. The problem y'all are missing is that we already have enough extremists here. Keeping muslims from entering into America until we fix this problem is a very good way to assure Americans that no more than we already have will be coming here. It's a very, VERY simple concept.
