We've got Bill meeting with the AG on the tarmac in PHX - pure happenstance (LOL)...
Obama endorsing Hillary.
Hillary playing footsie with Fauxcahontas.

Can you figure out what Trump's latest "evolving" position is on banning Muslims from entry into the U.S.?
On December 8, he told "Morning Joe" Scarborough that "customs agents or border guards would be charged with asking people: "Are you Muslim?" If the answer was yes, then that person would not be allowed into the country". Later, he made an allowance for Muslim athletes and government officials. A few days ago, his spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, said that Trump now only wants to ban Muslims from countries with heavy terrorism. As he toured his golf course in Aberdeen, Trump said that Muslims from Scotland would be ok.
This evolution notwithstanding, it appears to me that Trump is still advocating banning people from entering the U.S. on the basis of their religion. Please correct me if I am mistaken...

I hope that you are joking. That is about as un-American as one can get. Trump could easily accomplish the same thing by banning entry to those from specific nations, regardless of race or religion. He is playing to the lowest common denominator, and I am somewhat shocked that you are in league with Trump on this.
Why not ban all negroes from entering the U.S.? After all, foreign negroes are constantly defrauding innocent Americans of their life savings via Internet scams.

the US has been using religion as a basis for immigration for a long time. One of the allowable reasons for being allowed in is: religious persecution. How do we verify such without confirming an applicants religion?
I'm willing to take in Christians who are currently being annilliated in Syria, Egypt, etc.... I want NO MORE Muslims from such countries.
Just naming nations is not sufficient.

In the history of Human civilization I think an argument can be made that 'religion' has done more harm than good.

The earliest American settlers were fleeing religious persecution. Freedom of religion is a founding principle of the United States that is memorialized and guaranteed in the Constitution.
Banning people solely on the basis of their religious beliefs is about as un-American as it gets. I fully expect that from Donald Trump. However, with one obvious exception, I didn't expect to see it supported on this forum.

Many who don't understand a clash of cultures retreat to a position they do understand. Sadly, this is being taken advantage of.
I honestly wish it wasn't so. Calling this religious freedom is a much more comfortable place in troubled times, however misguided it may be in this particular situation.

It is not a requirement for who we choose to let into this country. It is not un-American to be concerned about self protection. FWI: freedom of religion IN the US is also under assault. Just last week, a case involving a privately owned pharmacy in Washington State was refused hearing before the SCOTUS. Left in tact was a lower court ruling that REQUIRED this pharmacy to sell abortive drugs the owners claimed violated their religious views.

Both Breitbart & Gateway are reporting Cruz, along with Romney & Kasich are still hoping to deny Trump his nomination by turning enough of his pledged delegates.
I’ll bet that would sit just fine with some of the #never Trump, “principled conservatives".
Never fear, you may still get Hillary Clinton.

But the damage goes deeper than that, and will require research and persistence to root out all of these planted government employees.
Years and years leftwing nut jobs in careers positions in our government.
And, how convenient, the Obama's will be staying in DC - the media will only be too happy to solicit his every opinion on everything Trump does as President.
