Nah, I think you're doing a Godwin again, trying to cry "Nazi" at the drop of a hat. Security threat is security threat, and must be dealt with practically. Rest of us aren't going to become victims of another 9-11 or another 13-11 just to satisfy you. Immigration is not owed, and countries have the right to sovereignty. Control over immigration policy - including right of refusal - is part of sovereignty. Refusal to recognize that right is an attack on sovereignty.
Today, national sovereignty is under erosion and attack from trans-nationalists, who wish to downplay national sovereignty in order to do away with it.
Furthermore, on this whole "Nazi" analogy - did Jews ever strap on explosive vests, or go on shooting sprees or stabbing sprees to massacre ordinary Germans? The very idea is ridiculous.
Were Jews queuing up to get INTO Nazi Germany? Hell, no. I'm 110% sure that if you forced Muslims to wear Yellow Stars or Yellow Spandex, they'd still be queuing up to get into America - so many that you wouldn't be able to beat them off with a stick - deeds speak louder than words, and they'd overwhelmingly continue to vote for America with their feet. So let's not pretend that Muslims even remotely fear "Nazi America" happening - that's just hollow self-serving rhetoric.
This "persecuted immigrant" drama has jumped the shark. I'm the son of Asian immigrants, and I don't see why any country should have to open itself up to terror attacks. Unacceptable.
TRIGGER WARNING (I always wanted to do that)
This is from BreitBart so I am not making a claim as they are as questionable ad Media Matters or HuffPo. I tried to verify this with other articles but this is the only article I can find. I watched the video and it looks legit but I didn't spend a lot of time on it as I have to meet for dinner with my family pretty quick.
As I understand it the video were edited as well, so that the meaning was changed. In this case that is not the case.
Yeah, sure.
there is no attack on sovereignty
there is a debate whether we, as a sovereign nation, live up to our ideals and accept those who seek refuge
and the donald says no
and much of the right also says no
unless the refugees are Christian, and for rand paul, if they show up with wealth such that they require no assistance from the public treasury
so much for the highly touted American exceptionalism
we are now inhabited by multi-millions who are afraid
and thru their politicians their fear is evident
There are a number of other outlets who have called out the MSM and the hack job they did with Trumps statement.
It's a wonder the 4th Estate has become so obsessed with inventing narratives that are so easily dismantled. One would think the perpetrators of their own demise would be less willing to speed along the process by which they will metastasize their terminal illness.
I haven't seen anything from Trump or his campaign claiming that he was misquoted or misrepresented. If he or they have, can someone point it out. If not, does he feel the misrepresentation plays into his campaign base?
You'd think Dan Rather trying to swing a presidential election in its dying hours would have been lesson enough, but these folks at Pravda USSA simply don't care about credibility.
So Trump does not want to register all American Muslims.. just like the Nazis did to the Jews?

Reporter: Specifically how do you actually get the registry in place?
Trump: It would just be good management. What you have to do is good management procedures. And we can do that. (at this point, he says "that's nice" to someone off screen).
Reporter: And do you support (?) going to mosques and sign these people up and into the system?
Trump: Different places. You sign them up at different pl-, but it's all about management.
The editing was sneaky in that it dishonestly highlighted an obviously inflammatory answer, but I don't see how his position on a Muslim registry is changed, even without the edit.
It doesn't change Trump's position, but the liberal main stream media uses sleazy tricks like this to form public opinion. It works because most everyone who uses the MSM as their source of "news" and "information" believe everything they say. The following is not a personal attack, but liberals are generally pretty gullible.
Those who don't read past the headline will generally fall for any story, and those who are agenda-driven will maintain a death grip on every fake story no matter how much context or contradicting facts are introduced. You can see that same behavior by everybody who stood by the fake story about Clinton's aide threatening a comedy club because it was simply too good to let go of. And then of course partisan conservatives would rather die than let go of the "You didn't build that" and "What difference does it makes comments." Once someone introduces those into a discussion I immediately know that person is too irrational to reason with, much as you would immediately give up on anyone who told you Bush caused 9/11.
I can't disagree with most of that. Although, I'm not and never was a huge Bush fan, so don't count on me defending him at every turn..after all...he is a liberal.
show us how the edit caused the meaning to change
