  • Looking at the comments on CNN they are all Trump haters who eat this stuff up with a spoon that CNN dishes out against Trump. Trump isn't diplomatic like a career politician and he says what he feels about a judge's decision and these fear mongers at CNN get their viewers whipped up into a frenzy that Trump is any day now going to get rid of our constitution and become a dictator. You know first he calls a judge a "so called judge" and the next thing you know the country is on the path to the next Hitler or Stalin.

    Fox is the only cable news network that leans right up against every other network that leans left. Before Fox the liberal media controlled it all on television and they cannot stand losing their monopoly. CNN was called the Clinton News Network before there even was a Fox news.

    I watch the national nightly news just to witness their blatant bias. I can honestly say that well before the election up to present I have not seen one positive news story on nightly news about Trump. Not one.

  • So how many of u remember cal swearing to us obama would be a dictator by now without him having actually done much in that direction? Now admittedly trump isnt worrying on this regard "yet", but he's certainly done more in 3 weeks to make one raise an eyebrow than obama did in 8 years. But now its ludicrous to imply trump is seeking to be a dictator right? But for 8 got damn fucking years we heard how many cool stories out of u chicken shit ngrs that we'd be balls deep right now in celebrating obamas 3rd term.....?

    We have always known where Fox News stands and why. Same thing with MSNBC.

    Now the mainstream media is more playing by the same rules.

    The point I'm making is that the Liberals usually cry that anti-immigration from dangerous places is based on fear.

    So the current anti-immigration climate isn't based on fear? Isn't the dominant narrative among the right that immigration will let terrorists get into the country? If that isn't fear what is it based on then?

    The rest of the world has space and can take their chances on trying to vet refugees from countries with wrecked infrastructure and no means to identify them. Removing terrorism from the mix, I wouldn't want to potentially live next to some guy who was a career thief or committed war crimes.

    This.

    What happened to "better to be safe than sorry"? I don't recall any of these protestors putting their home address on the posters with the inscription "mi casa es su casa" - so honestly, they can fuck right off.

    This isn't a humanitarian effort, folks. It's an opportunity to demonize an adminstration and a large segment of the population that you hate because they're "racist bigoted rednecks."

  • If it is fear it is a healthy common sense fear. We know there are Islamic radicals who want to kill us and we know they would use any means to do it. Slipping in with refugees would be a good way to infiltrate into our country so common sense would tell you to investigate and vet those you let into your country.

    You won't have to if you have the means to live in the neighborhood you want to live in. If you don't have those means you could be living next to a career violent criminal as we speak.

    *********************************************

    Do we need to post the videos of Muslims beating people, roughing people up,

    threatening non-Muslims, threatening our entire way life, demanding

    sharia law again?

    the answer is NO. Unjustified made up fear for political benefit is a lot different that legitimate serious concern fear.

    The Muslim refugee/immigrant violence is happening in pretty much every single country that

    takes them in. Russia, China, U.S., France, Germany, Britain, Australia, the list is long.

    It's strange to refuse to admit that.

    Sometimes I wonder if some hard core Muslims secretly want their enforcers to

    come to their country.... which is sickening to those Muslims who frantically left

    their country to have a great life in freedom and safety in Western democracies.

    We can't destroy ourselves - then those good folks who want to come here

    to escape it all...won't have any place to go...and we will have lost the wonderful

    country we have.

    Please post the stats that show violent crimes committed in this country by race, religion and gender.

  • do it yourself, look around the world. Look at Germany. If you want to contest

    what is being said, do your own research.

    If just one percent of Muslim immigrants/refugees want to come here to

    murder us, blow us up..

    Most Real Americans want to stop that one percent.

    You know the answer but it doesn't support your agenda. While no one, yeah you're favorite "lib targets" as well, want to see a terrorist act occur in the US. Many of us abhor rape, gang assassination, child abuse, etc. which a much, much more prevalent and wish time, energy and resources would be applied to solving these issues instead.

    I can also go online and find said career criminal to know I live next to a career criminal. He will also very likely already be on parole and a bad piss test away from going back.

    No more or less than any laws or any practices based on protection of your family or your fellow Americans. We have a standing army we have a police force a fire department speed limits laws Against Drunk Driving we lock our doors and crack dealers are hopefully thrown in jail. Do you think that's because we are a bunch of pussies? Scared of fire or crime or addictive drugs? If you'd like to construe that as that we are a bunch of cowards go ahead. As far as characterizing anti-terrorist as anti-immigration I think that's bullshit.

    But the MSM is helping disprove that bullshit.
