It's imprecise. We don't have a term for the people Trump wants to ban, that's the best we have. Middle-easter muslims would be closer but then you would still be pedantic and point out they aren't all the same race. You know and I know and everybody knows what Trump means by muslims and it's racist.


Unless you're talking about a group of people who are all of the same race, it's not "racist" to do anything to them. Categorizing all muslims as one race is very much discrimination against a religious group (which is the term we need to be using, not "racist") and implies an ignorance of the fact that there are followers of Islam from practically every race.

Exactly and I would be willing to bet a lot they commit far less crime overall once they get to America. Anecdotal but every muslim immigrant family I've ever known have been upstanding law abiding people, sending their kids to college etc. Compare that to hispanic immigrants and see who we are better off accepting as immigrants, even without a few isolated terror incidents that come from the muslim community.


That's beside the point. There is one simple reason to take them in, and that's because no matter how much crime they commmit, it's just good for the economy to have more people. Being protectionist helps literally nobody.

Islam isn't a race.

Speaking of races, many candidates try their best just to get in the office. But once they're in? You're a very different person.

He isn't a liar like Hillary,

Apparently Trump University doesn't exist.
Also, things may not seem the same on the inside than on the outside.

Fair. But I don't really care about this issue too much.

So? This is a major issue in politics, and so much instability on a major issue would be bad as his credibility as being firm in his views drops.

You know what? Since things have been so groovy recently, we should keep it the way it is. You're right, K-street has made America better. PSYCH! We need someone incorruptible. Trump is that guy.

No man is incorruptible. With enough time and pressure, and with the right actions, every man will crumble.


This is a benefit. He is so arrogant he will never be bought by anyone. Also, he will make sure he is successful because he knows he is good, and won't let himself be seen as a failure.


TIME AND PRESSURE...
Also if he is so arrogant and bent on success, will that mean that to him, the ends always justify the means? If so, then why would I want to vote for Mr. Creedy- I mean Trump?

Again, who cares? It doesn't matter.

IT MATTERS!
How could you possibly elect an official, who when asked to stand for his ideas, refuses to stand up for them? How can such an individual be trusted with being firm in his beliefs if he doesn't stand up for them in debate?


That's why Trump is good. He's built stuff his whole life. He knows how to get shit done.


Good luck dealing with bureaucracy.

Who cares? It doesn't matter. Fuck courtesy and customs.

Yes. It matters. As an important part of the democratic process, each candidate needs to be equally subject to criticism and questions (debate). Avoiding a debate due to people being mean is just being a wimp.

I support Sanders, and would vote for him many times over Clinton.
You took my comment entirely out of context.

Also, the more I read through your posts, the more hatred I have for the Republican Party.

Also, I see you continually try to hold up your version of reality by accusing people of being trolls just because they hold a harsh position against you.

Yeah he can be arrogant all he wants. But so is the entire government, and he isn't nearly that arrogant. He thinks he can rule over folk in America, they think they can rule over all the folk of the world.

These politicians can't rule over themselves well, much less over America. They can't stop 70,000 guys with AKs and pipe bombs, when they have a advanced military of about two to three million, can't build a road without going over budget, and can't get rid of drugs and illegal guns. What makes you think these guys are skilled enough to rule the world?

Good luck containing ethnic tension, fierce nationalism, a bureaucratic headache extended across the world and economic collapse in one area could have much longer lingering effects. Also, any path to America ruling the world would most likely lead to nuclear war.

Unless you're saying there is nothing wrong with saying something like "Muslims are terrorists" then this is just pedantic and irrelevant drivel. You lay out the exact terms you'd like to use to describe Trumps despicable behavior and I'd be happy to use them so you can quit distracting from what matters with this nonsense.

No, that is not the "one simple reason to take them in." According to you we should let in known terrorists, murderers and rapists. Great for the economy!

The reason to let them in is that this is America and we don't discriminate. Especially when Muslim immigrants (or whatever terms you want to use) are no more harmful than any others, so Trump's whole basis for denying them is absurd.

From the guy accusing other people of trolling. Is that your strategy? Call everyone else a troll and it allows you to troll harder?

Just admit your a neocon not a libertarian. He is less interventionist than Hillary.


Good joke. Let's see what Trump is for that Clinton is not.
*For bigger military spending.
*Upscaling the war on Mashriq (sending footsoldiers).

Clinton:
*For upscaling the war on Mashriq (but no footsoldiers).
-----
*For lowering military spending.

It's actually pretty racist of you to call Muslims a "race".


What is a race? Race is just some cultural grouping of folk that they think they are in, and a pretty outdated and unspecific word, anyway. Whenever someone says "race", I think of German and other "ethnic scientists" in the 1930s.

What's the issue with USA ruling the world?


A Yemeni man whose son and grandson were both killed in a drone strike said this of Obama: "Others may see him as a good and great man, but I, I can only seem him as a merciless, heartless child killer who included my children in his murders.".

Why do you doubt I'm
Libertarian?


The only modern interventions I supported were Afghanistan ( Until the original mission was over, then it was a waste ) and Korea. Unless something is escaping me, that's it.


I support low taxes, the abolishment of the Department of Education and Homeland Security.

I am pro-gun rights, pro-gay rights, Anti-Patriot act.

I was and am against Operation Iraqi Freedom, Syrian Involvement, Ground forces in the war on ISIS, Active drone strikes where the legitimate government discourages it, Striking Iran.


I'm the classic libertarian
