I know my readers know what I think of the Donald…….I believe that he is wrong on so many levels and his popularity scares me and I worry about the future of my country.
I am sorry but he sounds all too familiar to some of the rhetoric from a past time…..his thoughts on immigrants….his thoughts on closing religious buildings…..and his idea of making a portion of the society made to carry a special ID system (whatever that is)…..again all too familiar.
Plus he made a statement the other day about what to do about the families of “terrorists” (the word is in parenthesis because I am talking about accusations not conviction) ……
Asked how he could prevent civilian casualties while carrying out his plan to “bomb the hell” out of the Islamic State terrorist group, the Republican presidential frontrunner said America was “fighting a very politically correct war” and needed to focus on neutralizing the associates of terrorist……
“When you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families,” Trump said. “They care about their lives. Don’t kid yourself. But they say they don’t care about their lives. You have to take out their families.”
This sounds like guilty by association…..and it also sounds like the Israeli policy of punishing families of rock throwers by destroying their homes….sorry that is just wrong……
Of course we all have heard his account of thousands of thousands of people cheering at the attacks on 9/11, right?
I read an article about this situation and thought I would press it for this post……
Trump was right about 9/11 but they weren’t Muslims

Is Trump speaking truth or is this article? I guess that will depend on which side of the ugly fence you stand.
The Trumpette’s popularity is simply explained: our nation follows the shiniest illusion they see in the vast empty landscape… Donnie is not a human, he is a caricature of an actual human, so fits right into their illusionary ignorance….

Damn! A great analysis! chuq
Thanks…. remember the movie “Six Degrees of Separation?” Trump is many more degrees away from reality than six…. but, gosh, that hair is shiny!….
;=)
Donald Chump also said that if the French People had been armed then the attacks would have been thwarted. In the USA you have have over 200 million firearms – what is he so freightened of then? It seems to me that americans seem to be in a premenat state of fear. Frear; of natove Americans, Black slaves. Hispanics, the Japanese, the Communists in general and Russia in particular, African Americans and now the Muslims. Time to man-up me thinks. Then Chump would be irrelevant!
Americans love to be afraid…it is what keeps us going….at least some of them….
