FCP Bob 1,312 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 How many people need to be killed before you guys are okay with being pro-active in protecting the citizens of the country? Is it required for 50 children to die? I'm encouraged to see that you support much tougher gun control laws which would save hundreds if not thousands of lives every year. I'm surprised it took you so long after Sandy Hook when all those innocent children were slaughtered to come to this position. Link to post Share on other sites

Sandy Hook also convinced me the most urgent need is to keep guns out of the hands of left leaning pot smoking atheist. That and most of the other mass shootings that have occurred in the US. But seriously the true culprit is probably the drug companies and doctors using pills to 'treat' messed up people. The 75+ million legally armed citizens aren't the problem. If they were you would know it. Link to post Share on other sites

Fenxis 99 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 It would be wonderful if a leftist used their brain before they printed fake news like this. It's embarrassing for me to read this and accept that some people will find this to be truthful when a modicum of thought would show why a war torn region in a country that hates us is not a good place to get reliable data on a random person. Trump says gave 9/11 to temporarily ban people from these nations but hijackers were from Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon. The radicalized guy that shot up San Bernadino was from Pakistan. None of the nations that actually sent terrorists are on this ban list and coincides with where Trump has business (funny that during the election Clinton's alleged ties to the Saudis was so damning and yet they are not on this list). It's a cheap political ploy. Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Trudeau reacted to Trump’s ban of Muslims from certain countries by tweeting Saturday: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada.” This might be the catalyst ya'll need. If nothing else, it will prove that elections have consequences. Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Claire PhippsVerified account @Claire_Phipps Trump signs extreme vetting executive order - in his words, to “keep radical Islamic terrorists out” https://www.theguard...MP=share_btn_tw Claire Phipps @Claire_Phipps 14h14 hours ago Claire Phipps Retweeted Claire Phipps "Analysis of terrorist attacks on US soil 1975-2015...found foreign nationals from those seven countries have killed zero Americans" Oops US President Barack Obama’s administration selected these seven Muslim-majority countries. The Department of Homeland Security targeted these seven countries over the last years as countries of concern. In February 2016 “The Department of Homeland Security today announced that it is continuing its implementation of the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015 with the addition of Libya, Somalia, and Yemen as three countries of concern, limiting Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals who have traveled to these countries.” It noted “the three additional countries designated today join Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Syria as countries subject to restrictions for Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals.” It was the US policy under Obama to restrict and target people “who have been present in Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, at any time on or after March 1, 2011 (with limited government/military exceptions).” This was text of the US Customs and Border Protection in 2015 relating to “the Visa Waiver Program and Terrorist Travel Protection Act of 2015“. The link even includes the seven nation list in it: “Iraq, Syria, Iran, SUdan, Somalia or Yemen.” And the media knew this back in May 2016 when some civil rights groups complained about it. “These restrictions have provoked an outcry from the Iranian-American community, as well as Arab-American and civil-liberties groups, who say the restrictions on dual nationals and certain travelers are discriminatory and could be imposed against American dual nationals.” It was signed into law on December 18, 2015, as part of the Omnibus Appropriations Act of FY2016.

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Do you guys have any proof that Steve Bannon is a white supremacist? His history at Briebart where he said he wanted it to be a home to the alt right. Listen To Steve Bannon Defending The Racist Alt-Right One Week Before Joining Trump Campaign He's a White Nationalist nihilist. This is also pretty revealing. Trump's chief strategist thinks too many tech CEOs are Asian? The Washington Post unearthed a radio talk show recording of a conversation from last year between Bannon -- formerly the head of severely white-, right-wing Breitbart News -- and Trump when he was running for president. Talk drifted to the subject of immigration. Trump mentioned that he wasn't in favor of sending home foreign students who come to the US to study. "We have to be careful of that, Steve," said Trump. "You know, we have to keep our talented people in this country." He seemed to expect that Bannon would agree that foreign students were "our talented people." Bannon appeared to demur. "When two-thirds or three-quarters of the CEOs in Silicon Valley are from South Asia or from Asia, I think..." he began. He then offered this thought: "A country is more than an economy. We're a civic society." Some might see the tiniest implication that if too many tech CEOs are from some part of Asia, civic society might be threatened. Disrupted, even.

I guess I'm racist. Wanting to agree with the Obama administrations assessment of the 7 countries ability and/or willingness to help us vet immigrants from their countries is racist? I guess I'm racist. Having provisions in place that take into account individual cases, which worked even on the first day is racissst? I guess I'm racist. And so are most of the people who love their country and think the immigration policies of their country should put their countries safety ahead of the libtard's feelz Link to post Share on other sites

Oh look the whole line "it's not a ban", it's targeting radicals seems to be BS: Just like the US is now going to do exxxxxxxxxtreme vetting, not like any? of the "muslim"-initiated attacks have been initiated by people who have come here post-9/11.
