“Donald Trump: Poster Child of American Decline”

322

I have written extensively on why Donald Trump is so wrong. Trump has numerous weaknesses –- notably a huge blind spot about the jihad threat, including a disturbing willingness to kowtow to jihadist intimidation and surrender the freedom of speech.

The case of Donald Trump is one of the basic freedom of speech, in New York and in America in general. For everyone, not just for the Donald.

What Trump clearly doesn’t understand is that the freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, a tyrant can wreak havoc unopposed, while his opponents are silenced.

“Donald Trump: Poster Child of American Decline,” By Robert Spencer, PJ Media, July 30, 2015

We respond to his PC-bashing, but that’s exactly what he went silent on when the subject was drawing Muhammad.

It’s hard not to be in Donald Trump’s corner when his targets are the likes of John McCain and Lindsey Graham.

McCain may justifiably be indignant over Trump’s stupid and clumsy savaging of him for having such poor taste as to be captured in Vietnam, but the Arizona senator displayed judgment that was just as poor when he claimed Michele Bachmann’s entirely reasonable questions about Huma Abedin’s Muslim Brotherhood ties manifested an “ignorance” that “defame[d] the spirit of the nation.”

So when it comes to John McCain and Donald Trump, it’s blowhard versus boor. But that doesn’t excuse Trump. His current position at the top of the polls — and the very real possibility that he could continue to bestride the narrow Republican field like a Colossus while his petty rivals walk under his huge legs and peep about to find themselves dishonorable graves — is a sign of how much American politics has turned into an Oprah show of celebrity worship, lurid grandstanding, logorrheic superficiality, and tabloid scandalmongering.

But Trump’s popularity is also a sign of how tired the American people are with the political establishment.

It is the very fact that Trump is both blowhard and boor that, paradoxically enough, has catapulted him to the top of the polls. Americans are tired of mealy-mouthed career politicians talking platitudes. They want a real person as president — someone who is unafraid of the politically correct media establishment, and willing to take on the issues that most politicians don’t dare touch.

Trump has shown himself willing to do that regarding immigration. But his opposition to freedom of speech in the wake of our American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI)/Jihad Watch Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Garland, Texas — arguably motivated, as Pamela Geller recently showed, by his extensive business interests in Dubai — renders him unsuitable as a candidate.

About this endeavor to stand up for free speech against violent intimidation, Trump thundered:

I watched Pam earlier, and it really looks like she’s just taunting everybody. What is she doing drawing Muhammad? I mean it’s disgusting. Isn’t there something else they could be doing? Drawing Muhammad? … They can’t do something else? They have to be in the middle of Texas doing something on Muhammad and insulting everybody? What is she doing? Why is she doing it? It’s probably very risky for her — I don’t know, maybe she likes risk? But what the hell is she doing?

Trump should know better. Salman Rushdie summed up what was wrong with this way of thinking when he said last week that the free world had learned the “wrong lessons” from the death fatwa issued against him by the Islamic Republic of Iran for blaspheming against Muhammad:

Instead of concluding we need to oppose these attacks on freedom of expression, we believed we should calm them through compromises and ceding.

If people weren’t being killed right now, if bombs and Kalashnikovs weren’t speaking today, the debate would be very different. Fear is being disguised as respect.”

Rushdie added that, if he were threatened for insulting Islam today:

… these people would not come to my defence and would use the same arguments against me by accusing me of insulting an ethnic and cultural minority.

Indeed. And while Donald Trump’s critique would no doubt be less sophisticated and stated in more colorful terms, judging from his attack on Pamela Geller, he would be one of Rushdie’s chief critics.

Trump is a pragmatic businessman. For all the good and all the evil that entails.

But political philosophy and freedoms are alien to him. ESPECIALLY when they interfere in his business. Which is now, apparently, to (1) run for POTUS, and (2) sound off half-cocked at nearly every available opportunity.

He is the consummate entertainer, and for that at least, we’re grateful.

Ted Cruz hasn’t ruled out legal status for undocumented immigrants

03/27/15

By Benjy Sarlin

Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz’s office on Friday indicated the Texas senator remains open to a path to legal status for undocumented workers, putting him at odds with conservatives who deride such a position as unacceptable “amnesty.”

Cruz: I Am a ‘Proponent of Immigration Reform’

Accuses Obama of using issue to “scare the Hispanic community.”

Michael Warren

April 29, 2015 5:13 PM

Republican senator Ted Cruz said Wednesday afternoon he is “long-term optimistic and short-term pessimistic” on the question of passing any immigration reform legislation. Speaking with Javier Palomarez, the president of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Texan presidential candidate said he considers himself a “proponent of immigration reform.” But, Cruz added, political leaders should focus on those aspects that have “bipartisan support.”

“I think we should address these issues one at a time,” Cruz said, arguing that there is consensus for securing the border and reforming the legal immigration system, but stopped short of saying what he would do for those illegal immigrants currently in the country.

Cruz wants to give illegals work visas and increase H1B visas by 500%. This will destroy our nation.
It should concern everyone that he voted yes on TPA the first round. He voted no the second round, but that was because he knew it would pass. This does away with our immigration laws.
Illegals, out of control legal immigration and islam are all a mortal danger to our nation.
You should research RECONQUISTA.
Also, most people don’t realize there is a push for an Article V convention….Constitutional Convention. Many conservatives are being hoodwinked into supporting this. Soros is funding the movement and if it happens, they can throw out our Constitution.
Mexico is a very dangerous threat. 60% of Mexicans (not just illegals, but legals) believe the West belongs to them.
They are working to take over from within as well as muslims.

Charles Koch Crusading With Liberals for Prison Reform

Charles Koch over the past few years has become, along with his brother David, one of the key driving forces in conservative politics, but now he’s also joining a new team: A widening group of left-leaning politicians, foundations and others in hopes of reeling in the nation’s out-of-control criminal justice system.

“One of my heroes was Frederick Douglass, [who] said ‘I would unite with anyone to do right and with nobody to do wrong,'” Koch told Politico Magazine, explaining why his new crusade has linked him with such archrivals as New Jersey liberal Sen. Cory Booker and wealthy progressive donor George Soros, among others.

The only Article V movement I am aware of is the one headed by talk show host and author Mark Levin.

If that is what you are referring to, you are absolutely wrong that it is calling for a Constitutional Convention.

Mark Levin is proposing for the legislatures of the states to apply to Congress for it to “call a Convention for proposing Amendments” [actual language from Article V.]

Any amendments approved by this Convention would have to be ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the states to become part of the Constitution.

In passing state legislation for the convention of states, each legislature may specify what the subject matter should be for each amendment that it supports.

At least one state has already passed a law authorizing it, and making it a criminal offense for any delegate from their state to vote at the national convention for any amendment that the state legislature did not specifically authorize.

Article V does not authorize a “Constitutional Convention” of the type you claim, which could throw out our existing Constitution. And any amendment the convention of the states proposes would have to be ratified by 38 states before it could take effect.

Trump open to letting some long-term illegal immigrants stay

On Fox News this morning, Donald Trump said that even though he’s one of the world’s “very conservative” persons, he’s open to a much softer
approach on dealing with some long-term illegal immigrants.

“For people that have been here for years that have been hard-workers, have good jobs, they’re supporting their family — it’s very, very tough to just say ‘By
the way, 22 years, you have to leave. Get out.’

…. I’m one of the world’s very conservative people, but I have to tell you
on a human basis, how do you throw somebody out that’s lived in this country for twenty years.”
————————————
Is this Donald Trump’s amnesty?

By W. James Antle III
• 7/30/15

Donald Trump has rocketed to the top of the 2016
Republican primary polls because he has embraced the base’s populist fervor on
immigration. But his hardline rhetoric aside, is his substantive policy
position on the issue really that different from most pro-amnesty Republican
candidates?

In an interview with CNN’s
Dana Bash, Trump suggested that he would deport the bad illegal immigrants but
offer “legal status” to the good illegal immigrants. “We got to
move ’em out, we’re going to move ’em back in if they’re really good
people,” he said.

That’s essentially what “comprehensive immigration
reform” promises to do: separate illegal immigrants who can’t pass a
background check from others who will pay back taxes, fines, learn English,
pass a civics test and jump through whatever other bureaucratic hoops are
supposed to distinguish the path to “legal status” from amnesty.

This type of legislation generally fails because few
voters think any of these conditions will actually be enforced in practice.
Many conservatives have a word for bills promising to only legalize the
“really good people” but enforce immigration laws for everyone else:
amnesty.

You need to wake up and listen more carefully to what Trump is really saying about immigration — e.g. his idea that illegals who are deported should be given an “expedited” path back in.

It’s the Trumpeters who have narrow vision — who specifically assert that his polices on all other issues besides immigration don’t matter at all, and who automatically swat down any sign that he may not be such an immigration-hawk after all. Trump support is based mostly on emotion, on the belief that he’s “listening to us” (as a loving father listens to his children). But which of “us” is he actually listening to?

Trumpeters claim that they support him because he’s a bold and brash truth-teller, so it’s rather strange that they simply don’t care that he has taken a stand against freedom of speech when it comes to Islam.

It’s also quite amusing that whenever someone points out that Trump is not exactly solid on various conservative issues, the Trump fans shout “RINO!”

Trumpeters is not a term I invented; I just borrowed it. But my IQ is far above 120, and I don’t need to resort to vulgarity to make arguments. I’m also not a lib – which is why I’m wary of Trump’s left-leaning statements and his huge donations to Dems. Apparently “your buddies” don’t care about things like that.

Furthermore, you actually started the insults by insinuating that Pamela is asleep and has a “narrow view” — and then you get your panties in a wad when someone responds to your insults with some observations about the narrow view of so many Trump fans and the emotional way they attempt to make their case.

Trump fans are often openly, proudly narrow in their view: “Immigration is the ONLY issue that matters! Trump is the only one I’ll vote for! So what if he waffles on immigration; he’s listening to us! He’s not a politician! He’s refreshing! He’s a fighter! He’ll sock it to ’em!”

It’s remarkable that so many people who think they’re smart are so eager to put someone in the presidency without much concern about what he wants to do with presidential power.

Black Eagle, in my opinion, the most important issue of our time is the jihadist/Islamic threat. Every other issue takes a back seat to this. If we can’t count on the Republican nominee to fight Islamism/jihadism wholeheartedly, IMHO, we are lost.

Immigration is the number one issue.
Most muslims are coming here as legal immigrants. This must stop. The UN determining refugee status must stop…they are only allowing muslims to come here.
Illegal immigration must stop.
25 Americans are killed daily by illegals. Since 9-11 over ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND Americans have been killed or murdered by illegals. Most by Mexican nationals.
I suggest you folks wake up to the Mexican threat as well. We are now the 2nd largest Spanish speaking nation in the world. We are losing our sovereignty, culture and language.

Trump on —
Obamacare:

The man wrote in his own book and said elsewhere that he was in favor of Canadian-style socialized medicine — which would put him to the left of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and on pretty much the same page as Bernie Sanders.

Hillary:

Speaking of her, Trump praised Hillary Clinton and her health-care reform plan — in 2007! She attended his (most recent) wedding. He donated to her campaigns and to the Clinton Foundation. In 2008, he couldn’t get his head around the fact that Obama didn’t pick her for VP. “I’m a big fan of Hillary. She’s a terrific woman. She’s a friend of mine.”

Economics:

People tout the guy’s business record. But he represents almost exactly what his supporters think he opposes. He’s a crony capitalist par excellence. He gives to whatever politician can grease the skids for his next deal — and he makes no apologies for it. He’s an eminent-domain voluptuary. He abuses bankruptcy laws like a stack of homemade get-out-of-jail-free cards.

Immigration:
You seem to think he’s an immigration hardliner, and he’s certainly pretending to be. But why can’t you see through it? He condemned Mitt Romney as an immigration hardliner in 2012 and favored comprehensive immigration reform. He told Bill O’Reilly he was in favor of a “path to citizenship” for 30 million illegal immigrants:

Trump: You have to give them a path. You have 20 million, 30 million, nobody knows what it is. It used to be 11 million. Now, today I hear it’s 11, but I don’t think it’s 11. I actually heard you probably have 30 million. You have to give them a path, and you have to make it possible for them to succeed. You have to do that.

Question: Just how many rapists and drug dealers did Donald Trump want to give green cards to?

When I say there’s something cultish about Trump fans, it’s because so many of them respond in irrational ways to any criticism of him.

For example, they say that Trump critics are just RINOs, even when the critics are pointing to ways his history and position statements have been far from conservative, or to his inconsistent and muddled statements about immigration — which most supporters say is their primary issue and even the only one they care about.

Trump supporters have a tendency to tune out any uncomfortable information about his policy views, and even say they don’t care about his policies; they just trust him to do the right things and to be “better than Jeb” (as though there weren’t other options). They say he’s “listening to us” — i.e. the speaker has faith that Trump really cares about them (just as many voters in the last election preferred Republican policy positions but voted for Obama in the belief that he “care about people like them”).

Trump supporters tend to have a “Trump and only Trump” stance, while non-Trump-fans can name three or four Republicans they’re considering.

Most cultlish of all is the way Trump many fans seem find it offensive that people are holding him up to scrutiny. They react emotionally, and they tell the critics to “back down.”

That’s not a lot different from the Obama cult.

You guys are like wedding crashers.

Here’s the deal: it was unfortunate that Trump is out of touch with Constitutional imperatives. He’s entertaining but is primarily a businessman. He has some good ideas and not good ideas. I imagine Trump’s business investments in rich oil countries have colored his perceptions in a favorable way toward them.

The big worry about Trump is that he might not understand the far reach of the islamic push for control. That push does not come from the UAE. Qatar is an entirely different story. I’ll bet he was impressed with their wealth and system and has no idea about their financing terror and mosque-building crusade in the U.S. and Europe.

REVEALED: Donald Trump’s companies have sought visas for more than 1,100 immigrant workers

Trump garnered headlines and prompted several business associates to sever relations over his comments about illegal immigrants

He described Mexicans as a combination of ‘drug dealers and rapists’
Several of his companies are relying on undocumented workers employed in his hotels including a new construction project in close to the White House

Workers are disgusted over the opinions of the man ultimately responsible for the creation of those jobs

By Reuters

31 July 2015 Daily Mail UK

Donald Trump is staking his run for U.S. president in part on a vow to protect American jobs. But this month, one of his companies, the elite Mar-a-Lago Club resort in Florida, applied to import 70 foreign workers to serve as cooks, wait staff and cleaners.

A Reuters analysis of U.S. government data reveals that this is business as usual in the New York property magnate’s empire.

Trump owns companies that have sought to import at least 1,100 foreign workers on temporary visas since 2000, according to U.S. Department of Labor data reviewed by Reuters. Most of the applications were approved, the data show.

Nine companies majority-owned by Trump have sought to bring in foreign waitresses, cooks, vineyard workers and other laborers on temporary work-visa programs administered by the Labor Department.

The candidate’s foreign talent hunt included applications for an assistant golf-course superintendent, an assistant hotel manager and a banquet manager.

Two of his companies, Trump Model Management and Trump Management Group LLC, have sought visas for nearly 250 foreign fashion models, the records show.

Trump’s presidential campaign and a lawyer for the businessman declined to comment. The Mar-a-Lago Club could not be reached for comment.

The analysis of Trump’s history of actively importing foreign workers comes as he has emerged as an early front-runner in the race for the Republican nomination in the November 2016 presidential election. Trump has positioned himself as a champion of American workers whose livelihoods are threatened by illegal foreign laborers and the offshoring of U.S. jobs.

‘I will be the greatest jobs president that God every created,’ he said in announcing his candidacy on June 16. ‘I will bring back our jobs from China, Mexico and other places. I will bring back jobs and our money.’

Trump generated both notoriety and buzz by singling out Mexican immigrants in the United States. ‘When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,’ he said in the speech. ‘They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.’

In a speech on July 11, Trump distinguished between those working legally and illegally in the United States, saying thousands of ‘legal’ Mexicans – ‘incredible people’ – have worked for him over the years.

The Labor Department records don’t specify the nationality of the foreign workers sought by companies. But Trump could be bringing many Mexican workers into the United States.

Reuters examined records of applications for three categories of temporary work visas – the H-2A, H-2B and H-1B programs – submitted by employers to the Labor Department.

The temporary work visa program through which Trump’s companies have sought the greatest numbers of workers, H-2B, brings in mostly workers from Mexico. Mexicans made up more than 80 percent of the 104,993 admissions to the United States on H-2B visas in 2013. The Trump companies have sought at least 850 H-2B visa workers.

The H-2B program, which receives little government oversight, is used by companies in sectors ranging from hospitality to forestry to hire foreign workers for temporary jobs. Companies must prove that the jobs are seasonal – and that they tried and failed to hire Americans.

The Mar-a-Lago, a luxury resort in Palm Beach, Florida, has sought the most foreign workers of the nine Trump businesses: 787 workers since 2006

 

U.S. government watchdogs have criticized the H-2B and H-2A programs over the years for failing to protect foreign and American workers alike.

In 2003, the Labor Department Inspector General said: ‘Abuses of these programs may result in economic harm to American workers and businesses, exploitation of foreign workers, and security risks associated with aliens who are admitted to this country by fraudulent means.’

This year, the Government Accountability Office published a report saying that workers in the country on H-2A and H-2B visas have experienced abuse, including being charged illegal recruiting fees, substandard housing and low pay.

The Mar-a-Lago, a luxury resort in Palm Beach, Florida, has sought the most foreign workers of the nine Trump businesses: 787 workers since 2006, according to the data.

This month, the resort filed paperwork seeking to bring in 70 foreign workers later this year on H-2B visas to serve as maids, cooks and wait staff, according to paperwork known as ‘job orders’ published on the Labor Department’s web site.

In addition to the resort and the modeling agencies, the Trump-owned companies identified in the Reuters analysis were Jupiter Golf Club, Lamington Farm Club LLC, Trump Miami Resorts Management LLC, Trump National Golf Club LLC, Trump Payroll Chicago LLC and Trump Vineyard Estates LLC.

Because I understand that there are no perfect people, candidates included. But in the Denver debate, Romney had the whole thing handed to him and he let it go, apparently “feeling sorry” for candidate Obama. Pathetic. Most people at least want to win an election if they’re running, and I assumed Romney wanted to win for the sake of the country and the world, even if he wasn’t the best candidate (Gingrich was better but no chance for several reasons). Romney had every chance and threw it away at the debates and by selecting Ryan.

And just wanted say, wildjew, a BIG thank you for the “scolding” you dished: “Where were you?”

You have no idea who I am or what I do. And on that particular event, even the liberal far-left press was SHOCKED at Obama’s miserable performance at at Romney backing off. Remember?

The reason I didn’t write off Romney as a flip-flipper was that I was an abortion supporter for years until I investigated it for myself. I paid dearly for that investigation BTW. Sometimes people change their minds after learning more. Just like with the jihadist ideology.

I didn’t watch Iowa, so can’t comment, but if he championed the “Palestinian cause” then that’s really sad.

Romney is stuck in 1950s America and in “being nice.” He doesn’t know how to fight. So he doesn’t.

But it was between Obama-Jarrett-Soros and Romney at the time. And we got one instead of the other. Romney in any case would have been better, don’t you think?

Canadian Government doesn’t pay for individual healthcare for Canadians. The Government pays each Province monies to help with building new hospitals, new clinics, purchasing medical technology ( CAT scans, MRI machines, etc. ) upkeep on existing medical facilities and the like.
In most Canadian Provinces ( other than Alberta and Manitoba ) individuals must buy health insurance, though if one doesn’t’, you can’t be turned away from treatment.
Obama-care is not like the Canadian healthcare system at all. WE don’t have so many points on our insurance…. we get treated for what ails us not what the healthcare system can afford! We have Doctors diagnosing and treating the illness or problem….not some pencil pusher that doesn’t know anything about medical treatments.

Buzz off. You don’t understand the differences between Kuwait, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, etc.

A family clan runs the Emirates. They have to fight their own crazy jihad problem constantly.

As I recall, U.S. Special Forces helped train their guys.

Iran’s Shariah law or Pakistan’s is in very real ways much different than in the Emirates.

I think Trump is a clown, and judging from his views over the past 2 decades, a liberal and a fraud. But, I’ve spent about a year total in the UAE, most of it in Dubai, for work and it is very westernized and very American friendly. They aren’t an Islamic state, for crying out loud alcohol is legal and prostitution is essentially legal. I don’t think he has any explaining to do in regards to business interests there.

So if he doesn’t want to become a secret undercover agent spying on Muhammadofascism he’s one or all of the mentioned above.
Pam decodes news & gives a forum for political education.
Muhammad is not to be idealized because we the ‘nobodies’, the suppressed elite of the world demand a profoundly ethical global governance & culture that’s based on ethics: human rights & ecology.

I agree with you; however….AND THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT:

“Trump has shown himself willing to do that regarding immigration. But his opposition to freedom of speech in the wake of our American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI)/Jihad Watch Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon
Contest in Garland, Texas — arguably motivated, as Pamela Geller recently
showed, BY HIS EXTENSIVE BUSINESS INTERESTS IN DUBAI — renders him unsuitable as a candidate.”

I’M TOTALLY WITH PAM GELLER since he’s doing business with our enemies, the savages! As much as I admired him for his chuzpa in declaring the truth about the Mexican border, he blew it by doing business with them. You can’t do business with evil period!!! And I’ve never forgiven him attacking, of all people, about the ONLY person who’s DOING something besides writing, defying evil itself even risking her life against those savages who’re murdering us and eating up our territories!!!

I’D SO LOVE FOR PAMELA GELLER TO BE OUR PRESIDENT! I’D FEEL VERY SAFE FOR THE FIRST TIME IF SHE WERE OUR PRESIDENT! I CAN’T VOTE FOR SOMEONE WHO’LL BE DEFENDING THE MUZZIES BECAUSE HE’S PROFITING WITH THEM. WHERE WOULD BE THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIM AND OBAMA THEN??? ACHTOLIBE!!! MALDICION!!!

HE HAD NO RIGHT to criticize Pam’s “Draw Muhammad” Contest at all! He did because he’s profiting from the murderers of Americans and Israelis, and because he’s an idiot in this respect. I’m SO disappointed. Unless he’ll apologize to Pamela Geller publicly, I’m not rooting for him anymore. Ted Cruz will do a much better president by doing both indispensable things: CLOSE MEXICAN BORDER & FIGHT TO DEATH THE MUZZIE SAVAGES!!!

CHEER UP AFDI’S PAMELA GELLER! WE ARE ALL WITH YOU. YOU NEVER FAILED US. GOD BLESS YOU AND GIVE YOU A VERY
LONG LIFE!

No, he did not, He emphatically declared that Islam must not be offended. If you don’t think that’s a problem, that may be a result of the blindness induced by Trump-mania.

And why must Pamela “back off” from her criticism of Trump? Does freedom of speech stop there, too? Are Trump fans all so touchy about any truth-telling about their idol?

You responded to her remarks with an insult to her — and now you’re trying to pose as her defender, against people who agree with her! Really, Pamela is a very strong woman, and she’s not going to let some little blog comments rile her up and make her hysterical on camera.

Also, he wasn’t emphatic. It was kind of a non-issue or side issue for him, I think. Because of a hostile media, most people only thought of the Hebdo stuff which is really vulgar. Yes they can run it, but people might ask why? The Garland event was a different event and issue, and more like the Denmark paper a few years ago.

I’m not defending Trump, but I am questioning legitimacy of the “gang of three” on this board today.

Yes, he was emphatic. He didn’t make it a non-issue; he clearly stated the position that he considered the Garland event to be wrong, and that he considered it wrong to draw cartoons and label them Mohammed because it offends Muslims.

In other words, he thinks it’s better to censor our speech on things that might offend Muslims. He thinks it was wrong to make a stand for our right to be free of sharia proscriptions.

And yes, you are defending Trump. You certainly get emotional when people suggest he may not be the ideal candidate, If you weren’t a Trump defender, you wouldn’t be making the bizarre suggestion that three people who have doubts about Trump must be part of some illegitimate “gang of three,” i.e. a conspiracy, because we couldn’t all come up with these doubts and criticisms on our own.

The uncontrolled influx of illegal aliens is a huge problem because, as we here are aware, the influx likely includes Jihadist Islamic terrorists. His blind eye to the threat we face to our First Amendment rights is disturbing. He is gaining momentum with this single issue candidacy. My initial reaction to Trump was he was voicing the illegal alien problem to bring the other GOP candidates to the table (albeit kicking and screaming for the most part) and then he would drop out of the race when the “address the illegals torch” was passed to the most qualified GOP. Guess we will see. Keep the faith fellow freedom lovers.

I wasn’t aware that Trump had said these things about Pamela “taunting” the Islamists and I completely agree with Robert Spencer except on one point–Trump IS NOT ACCEPTABLE on Immigration! In his April 14th youtube interview with Bret Baier (still available), he broached his “merit-based” Amnesty plan. Then, on July 24th on Morning Joe, he went further into it and then on CNN on July 29th, he brought out his “touchback Amnesty” scheme similar to Mike Pence’s and Mitt Romney’s. Breitbart is running with that now and some Conservatives are waking up to the fact that Trump isn’t much different from Jeb Bush or any other RINO. After starting out his campaign talking tough on Mexico, he’s softened that stance and is promoting a “touchback” Amnesty plan! Beware what you pray for, Conservatives–you may get it!

Trump may be holding back on talking about the jihad threat so that Arab/Iranian money doesn’t start fighting him to bury him.

Or, I know Trump has a golf course in Dubai–so he may be mostly familiar with moslem people from the UAE, Sheik Mo, etc. who are very different from the rest. Al-Sisi of Egypt is another “different” example. For Trump, those might be the “real” Moslems.

About the contest… I imagine like many Americans he might not have known what it was really about, so it seemed nuts. For those of us who have been in this field for a long time–we understand the fight, and the core issues. It seems to be an uphill road to educate.

On a positive, Trump is calling out Hillay’s Huma, the Moslem Brothrrhood agent.

On the amnesty: stupid if he has s revolving door idea, but I understand about people who have been here as hard workers and decent family people and employees. I wouldn’t throw them to the wolves of Mexico, so it’s a tough subject. He does talk a lot about border security and stopping the tide of illegals and the drug cartels.

I liked Cruz but he won’t e plain his involvement with the Corker bill. In any case, he’s probably better than most. Huckabee is pro-Israel too, and opposes the Iran deal. Walker? Carson? Who has the strength to take on Sanders and stop the slide toward totalitarianism?

He didn’t get it but I DO think he can be educated. If he chooses Cruz to run with him as I am most sure he is then he WILL get educated. I am supporting Trump because the rest of the GOP has done nothing..they keep talking about still no armed military, still no aggressive prosecution of Obama or Hilary or Kerry. With Cruz as his running mate and Gowdy as AG I think he will get educated. I hope he gives PG a call as so many are telling him to do.

I LIKE TRUMP.

We tried it the RNC, Karl Rove way with McCain and Romney – and THEY BOTH LOST.

Romney should have won in 2012 because Obama was running on his ineffectual, retreat at any cost record – but Romney didn’t have it in him to go all out to expose Obama.

Now Obama is doing what he promised Medvedev he would do. Do to the US what no other President has eve done – make friends of our enemies and enemies of our friends, pave the way for fascist Iran to develop nukes without rigorous monitoring – all while fascist Iran literally calls for death to America.

Yeah, Trump is a bit bombastic, but the old debating society way does NOT WORK. And the US needs someone who hasn’t given up on the OLD AMERICA which won WW2, put men on the moon,

Maybe the others will amp up their game – but it’s time for a change.

Trump will get Hillary elected. Just one of many realities which the bamboozled Trump supporter will deny and not accept. The inability to accept reality and dismiss truth when presented with facts is a sure sign of blind and irrational behavior typically exhibited by the very gullible and easily manipulated. In this there is much similarity between the Obamanites and now the Trumpettes

After Obama got re-elected, ANYTHING is possible.

Trump could wipe the floor with Hillary and her ILLEGAL private mail server, “poor us”, “what difference does it make” Benghazi, temper….

Hillary will be seen as Obamas THIRD TERM – but Hillary isn’t black like the Dolegzal transracial poser.

I agree with Reuben Hart. Pamela Geller and Trump need each other to be on the same page or at least on both sides of the same page or some other arrangement because they are both fighting for America. No one is perfect. I think Trump will evolve. He lost friends in 9/11.

Yes Pamela, I understand your dislike for Trump, who has shown disdain for you, insulted you, called you names, and he was wrong, and should have apologized to you personally for it. I will always stand fast and support you Pamela Geller against any and all against you, for truth, righteousness, and good always trumps political personalities and movements !! (no pun intended) lol

That said- we all know what and who Trump is and is not. Yes he is not a principled conservative Republican like Ted Cruz, who plays both sides of the proverbial fence. But what he does do is bring, forces the issues that are important out front and center whether the GOP establishment leadership / political party machine and the liberal media intelligensia like it or not.

I am a Ted Cruz supporter, but anything and anyone who shakes up the political establishment from their arrogant elitist control grip on the people and process is a good thing.

It’s about we the people, about defeating Obama and his Democrats, about saving our Constitutional Republic, and consequently the State of Israel and western civilized free world, NOT about caring what the establishment status quo permanent political class says and wants, who btw are in collusional partnership with Obama and Democrats.

We the People are not just fed up, but are seething angry.. We have had enough of the establishment and their liberal Democrat facsimile politics as usual. Time’s up-ie; there is no more time, time to waste on waiting, watching if things change and get better-which it never does.

So Trump says Pam is “insulting everybody”, while the truth is
the profoundly ethical, politically educated are insulted by the lack of political education, corruption & lies & retardedness, we the ‘nobodies’ Trump should bow down to & recognize as authority.
So if he doesn’t want to become a secret undercover agent spying on Muhammadofascism he’s one or all of the mentioned above.
Pam decodes news, & gives a forum for political education.
Muhammad is not to be idealized because we the ‘nobodies’, the suppressed elite of the world demand a profoundly ethical global governance & culture that’s based on ethics: human rights & ecology.

Donald Trump is the kind of politician we need, and that’s why he’s doing so good in the polls. He’s refreshing, he’s outspoken, he says what he thinks, he’s beholden to noone, and he doesn’t give a damn about the establishment, whether it be Dem or Rep. His only flaw that I can see is a lack of knowledge about Islam. Jeez, he’s the only American in that boat, right? Not quite. In fact, W, who most conservatives feel was a good prez, is the prez who made the phrase “Islam is a religion of peace” famous, a phrase that has misled people in this country for the last 14 years.
Pam and Robert, true American heroes, need to sit down with The Donald and give him some enlightened instruction on the war we’re involved in (WWIII), the enemy we’re fighting (Islam), and what we need to do about it (ban it from this country). The Donald is not an idiot, and he’s certainly not against free speech, he’s simply a typical American who’s been misled for years and needs to be awaken to the threat posed by Islam.

Come on my Southern cuzzins….. you can do better than Trump! Show some common sense…don’t let Trump get you all excited about him becoming the next President by pulling at your emotional strings. You’ve got to use your brain power this time!
Trump is only being his usual big mouth self. He’s hitting all the right buttons but he has no substance and is only in the game for himself….not the American people or the USA.
I highly doubt that he will get through the Primaries and become the selected one. He just knows how to stir the crap pot really well and be a major thorn.
You need someone who can understand all the major issues, someone who doesn’t care if they offend someone ( non-PC conformist)….but Trump just isn’t ready to be President, with all that would encompass.

Ever think that perhaps that’s why you folks are now in the position you are in?
What qualifications did Obama have? He is an affirmative action President with a community organizer attitude. No real world experience.
The Donald is caught up in his own ego ( Like Obama) and doesn’t know much but what his own opinions are about things. He doesn’t care about one iota about the American people…only cares about filling his bank account off shore. He wouldn’t listen even to those who actually might know about the issues…his ego wouldn’t allow that!
If the American people can’t understand that they need someone who understands the major issues of today and The Donald somehow is lucky enough to win the President’s seat…then you’ll all reap what you have sown.

Mr. Trump WILL be against the immigration problem, THAT will be a big help against Islamists. I am sure he will contain the Islam religion in the States from becomming MORE of a menace!!!

I think many forget that “business”, at the level that Mr. Trump operates, is as down and dirty, if not more so, than politics. He is an able and proven negotiator at the highest level. Success in that realm also comes from “knowing your enemy and his weak spots”, and he is an ace at that. He is bringing Technicolor to what would have been a drab, black and white race and exciting those who are totally disgusted with the elitist, self-serving, egotistical politicians. Yes, Trump is egotistical as well, but he gets it from his own success, not from sucking off the taxpayers teat.

If he is sincere, it would be nothing for him to sell off his holding in Muslim countries. If he is sincere, he will address some of the complaints against him as he solidifies his lead. If he is sincere, (and I believe he is…in business, if they can’t trust your word you get nowhere or you don’t last long), he will make this a very interesting election year.

Now, all that said, I don’t think there will even be an election. 🙂 O’Bummer will cause, create, formulate or invent a “crisis” and declare Martial Law and goodbye election. (Or it may happen on it’s own, like a financial crash, an EMP or any one of a half dozen events just waiting to happen that he will take advantage of).

But all of this is good news, because it really doesn’t matter how good Trump, or any of the other field are, there is Someone who already has determined who will lead what is left of America…Dtn. 2:20.. “And he changeth the times and the seasons; He removeth kings, and setteth up kings”;…. John 19:10….”Jesus answered: Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above”.
The King is coming. Hallelujah !!! Are you ready to exchange your Republic for a Theocracy?? Are you ready to meet Jesus ??

He’s apparently clueless about religion …

Trump replied, “I’m not sure I have ever asked God’s forgiveness. I don’t bring God into that picture.”

Trump clarified further about forgiveness in the church setting saying, “When I go to church and when I drink my little wine and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of forgiveness. I do that as often as I can because I feel cleansed. I say let’s go on and let’s make it right,” declared Trump.

Pamela, I cannot believe, how NAIVE people have become, they are numb from the 7 years we lived through Obama administration. And the CON MAN Trump knew exactly when it would be convenient to jump on board, I have show Proof about him and his Liberal Democrat ways and they say “Well maybe he changed” Our nation has become weakened thinking that a Con man like Trump with NO POLITICAL experience can even go in Office of the WH, and Begin to Repeal and Executive repealing all Obama’s illegal Executive orders. On top of that, when in history with 460 days until election has a candidate picked his VP, Sec of State and Sec of Defense? Absurd and nothing more than a Narcissistic move.. PLEASE keep this up Ms Geller, we do not need Trump in charge of our America Kudos

Donald’s economic interests would always stand in the way of his views on the reality of the threat of Islam and jihad should he be elected as the US president. Pam is probably right in her view. The administration under Donald will turn even more anti Jewish and more pro-Islamic!

I like the fact that trump has so much money that he can’t be bought [supposedly] but he is not a politician, I want to see him debate on the issues esp. on foreign affairs, I supported Ben Carsons position when he announced his candidacy but I feel like so many others he is too timid for this arena. I like trump but fear he mirrors obama in the way~ he is saying what everyone wants to hear~ but lacks the ability to be criticized. I feel he would take things too personally, Ted Cruz, has the experience with debating and politics and seems to have a handle on the issues, but not all of his efforts seem to run in alignment with what America needs, I think he is more worried about his position in politics also. I believe that the time obama has left in the whitehouse reminds me of the guy who holds the door open in the back of the movie theater so his buddies can sneak in. We are basically screwed and it’s no ones fault but our own for being so complacent. When football and shopping become more important than what our own gov. is doing then we deserve everything that happens to us.
