    My problem with Trump's campaign of hate is drawing from the statement above.... just who is "they"?

    I'm not with a left liberal side on this.... I'm pretty moderate and I do believe in some form of discrimination against Muslims for being Muslims.

    Just like I said in my example above.... if all terrorists carried my last name then how in the hell could I expect not to be discriminated against accordingly? I might be a nice guy.... totally innocent of harboring evil ideas but even so.... I would have to live with consequences and I would be pissed of as hell at those with my last name causing me such trouble.

    I do agree that the muslim population in general is not apologetic enough for my blood.... not publicly pissed off enough at those who have caused them such trouble.

    I'm so sick of the word "hate" that spews from the mouths of liberals every chance that they get. They hate Christians, the wealthy, the military, police, the Constitution and America. They throw out labels on everyone that disagrees with them. And then there's the Hitler card that we see played over and over again.

    MSNBC conducts a poll asking whether or not Trump is out of line with his Muslim proposal. The results
    Caucasian: No – 69%, Yes 31%
    Hispanic: No – 87%, Yes – 13 %
    African-American: No – 96%, Yes – 4%
    Other: No – 88%, Yes – 12%

    Very interesting especially the minority responses.

    You might remember Gipper that in Detroit the blacks and muslims hated each other.

    Maybe it was because the muslims owned all of the bullet proof glassed in gas stations and party stores.

    I didn't realize that the poll was only taken in Detroit. :roll:

    I missed that lecture in history about the great Jewish attack that killed hundreds and injured thousands. I also missed the random shootouts and acts of mass murder committed by the Jews.....

    And that's because it didn't happen. You're comparing apples to spinach.

    This is a complex issue and one, in many ways, that we brought on to ourselves. We certainly no how to make things worse. I'm just surprised we haven't embraced the idea of what it will take to win... and that's total devastation. The 2nd World War would have dragged out for another year or two costing perhaps a million lives. The Americans took the fight out of the Japanese, something no one has ever done before or since, in 2 trips.

    Until then, I'm kinda with Tom on this one. I happen to know moderate Muslims and I've seen them make appeals for peace, but I've never seen them actively protest/condemn terrorists either. This 'hug me I'm Muslim' ******** is a cute PR campaign, but I'd rather see them take to the streets protesting and burning **** like a Pakistani election is going on to make the statement that they will not tolerate the Jihadis.

    I don' t think it's a case of not knowing what victory requires... Its a case of the one(s) in charge not wanting to execute it.

    I've always said we can drill for oil through glass...

    Agreed...

    But in a relatively lawless world where your home can be invaded and you are forced to watch as your son is beheaded it takes a lot of courage to voice loudly your protetstations.

    Oh no, I am talking about the Muslims here. I could give a rat fbomb what they do elsewhere. I firmly believe we have to take care of our interests first. It's only when we've become the world's police force (and taken a little of the pie for ourselves) that we've gotten ourselves into trouble.

    It is a lawless world we live in, and that's a fact whether you believe it or not. This is one of the few bastions of law, process and fairness.... at least it used to be, anyway.

    Sometimes, you have to let people settle things for themselves. If the worst comes out, they'll either stay home, which I don't give a **** about, or put themselves on a legitimate collision course with us, which I assure you they don't want.

    Don't you just love the Hitler callers who support an administration that treats the jews of Israel as though they were swine?
