In some Muslim countries over 90% of the population believes Sharia Law should be the official law of the land. Even in more liberal areas, outside of the West, it’s still well over 50%. That means that a lot of these people are fleeing terrible conditions in their homeland, but they are likely bringing a horribly oppressive ideology along with…[Read more]

No. Thank you for seeking clarification in lieu of assuming and presenting as a strawman. Good on you.
I am saying it is folly to ignore the methods this political entity has demonstrated in various other countries to establish colonies and slowly work to overtake and replace the existing system with political Islam, from within.
The U.S. is not…[Read more]

The difference is that you have people, who are trying to combat the ideology itself and the tenets that have fueled terrorism, being cast as bigots and racists simply for broaching the topic. I mentioned Sam Harris earlier. He is pretty far left, but he has been castigated by many prominent liberals for his views on Islam. I have never once heard…[Read more]

Completely agree. The religious right deserves every bit of flack it receives, and these ridiculous “religious freedom” bills are nothing more than bigotry cloaked in faith. This Christian persecution complex that has reared its head in recent years has become increasingly dangerous to the rest of us.

^ doesn’t understand the importance of being able to criticize (freedom of speech) nor the importance of the separation of church/synagouge/mosque and state. Nor, apparently, who the would-be wielders of fear to supress criticism are.
You keep tossing out accusations of fearfulness, while having fully submitted to the wishes of the political…[Read more]

Liberals tend to demonize people who criticize Islam, even other liberals (see Sam Harris and Bill Maher vs Ben Affleck). Many of these same folks excoriate Christians at every turn. So, yes, on the left it is far less acceptable to mock Muslims than Christians. Maybe it’s a reflexive reaction to the bigotry of the far right, but it most certainly…[Read more]

I’d then bring in women and children and the elderly and other at risk groups (LGBT, etc).
You made this statement the other day, and I still don’t fully understand your position. So, we leave behind the families where a husband/father is still present? How is that humane?

Then, let them choose what way of life they want: A good, Christian, successful life, or the short life of a terrorist.
So, these are our only options? I suppose I’m a terrorist. I think I know what you’re getting at, but I find it pretty off-putting when people assume being a Christian is superior to adhering to a different set of religious…[Read more]

Except that you can’t force “help” on people. You can’t force people to get smarter or work harder or even care about improving themselves.
If you dangle incentives for the easy route, like welfare and social services to anyone who can overstay a tourist visa, then you get the exact opposite of “helping” people in their own homes. Remove the…[Read more]

Utah. As a conservative I like your intent and your video would seem to make sense until you see the real numbers that are involved. Don’t forget that your plan would cut your personal wealth to a quarter of what it is now. I watched your video, now watch mine.

I don’t see where the original poster or the video said anything about unfettered immigration. I believe the OP was just saying we shouldn’t waste any resources on walls.
