[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](I am very anti trump)[/quote]Trump's off the cuff and confrontational approach, if elected, works for his constituents and probably much of the GOP.  And it works for his reality shows.  However, that won't wash on the world stage.  There are countries that need very little or no prompting to do physical damage to Americans at home and abroad.  Trump's confrontational and threatening approach is downright dangerous.[/quote]

Bullshit. Some people and some countries are going to come after us no matter what we do. The best way to minimize this threat is to control the border and limit the number of Muslims who come here - i.e., exactly what Trump wants to do.[/quote]

How do you propose to limit the numbers of Muslims who come to America?  Do you want to have religious questions for potential immigrants?  Do you want to limit the numbers of immigrants from Muslim countries, which we already do?  Do you realize this goes against the American ethos and values of tolerance?  Do you realize that we have welcomed many of the best people from the Muslim world- their doctors, scientists, engineers, and that those people have thrived?  And won't targeting and maligning America's Muslims alienate them and lead to radicalization?  Shouldn't we be doing the opposite, and giving American Muslims space, because they may be the force for liberalizing Islam around the world?

Just saying![/quote]

We can close our borders if we want to or need to. Muslim countries close their borders all the time. Just try getting a visa.[/quote]

Which Muslim countries are you talking about?  And why would you want to emulate them if they're such horrible people?  I don't understand why some Americans think that we need to act shitty because other countries do.  Did you guys graduate kindergarten?  And what about the religious minorities that live in Muslim countries and that may want to leave?  What about Muslims living in those countries who just don't want to have any religion anymore (it's a thing!)?  Tough cookies?[/quote]

Pretty much. Even Obama says we need to get off the world stage and stop trying to solve all the world's problems.[/quote]
