[Examiner] After refusing to reprimand a supporter who talked about the "problem" with Muslims in the United States at a town hall this week, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump doubled down Sunday, saying there is a "very severe problem" with some Muslims.
"It wasn't people from Sweden who blew up the World Trade Center," Trump told Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union."
"I get that -- but to say we have a problem and it's called Muslims because there are some extremist Muslims, is tarring all Muslims," said Tapper.
"Well I don't agree with that at all, but you have extremist Muslims that are in a class by themselves," said Trump, who leads the Washington Examiner's presidential power rankings. "It is a problem in this country and it's a problem throughout the world. I mean all you have to do is look at Europe."

It won't be too long before they are coming from Sweden.
But they won't be "Swedes".

Well, he didn't say "Do the Lord's Work and let God sort em out." He just stated a fact. He didn't complicate it by weasel-wording things and getting hung up in semantics such as discussing the good Japanese and bad Japanese or the good Germans and bad Germans or the good Muslims and the bad Muslims.

"I get that -- but to say we have a problem and it's called Muslims "the South" because there are some extremist Muslims "Southerns", is tarring all Muslims Southerns," said Tapper.
I'm sure Tapper and his fellow slimes in the media would have not problem with that rewrite. Given the opportunity, the MSM has absolutely no problem playing that game themselves.

A few talking points that might come in handy for defenders of Trump on this issue:
OIC consensus Islam is totally incompatible with Western style democracy. Ideological deviation is severely punished. In many important states of the OIC it carries the death penalty.
Even the most moderate muslim states are allies in the name of Islam of the most extreme states.
Thus they're recognizing extreme Islam as a legitimate form of Islam.
The OIC is officially demanding that non-muslims in the be subjected to Sharia restrictions.
Thus the OIC officially doesn't recognize any Western nation as a sovereign entity.
Thus the OIC's official political position versus the West is more hostile than the Soviet Union's.
Many, perhaps most mosques in the West are affiliated with OIC government institutions.
Muslims attending these mosques cannot be absolved from all accountability for the OIC nations' misdeeds.
the OIC is indeed the enemy and is seeking a special sharia-compliant Cairo declaration of human rights
they have agent provocateurs funded in western nations to run fear campaigns that muslims are victims of islamophobia so they can get special legal protections like blasphemy laws

Trapper and his fellow slime have a problem with saying "muslims" did it because it tars all muslims.
However, some tea party guy or person with a gun they will use to tar everyone that even thought positive about the tea party or even is sympathetic to gun rights.
My response would be to him, "Until you fix that hypocrisy you can go fuck yourself"

Elmert lists some good talking points but in my unfortunate experience most liberals/progressives/socialists/communists/donkocrats will not listen. Their knee jerk reaction is to label anyone who would even start on such talking points as a racist islamophobe and all dialogue would then cease.

The thing is Trump gets hear and there are a lot of folks in America who won't admit what he says is true out loud for fear of being called this and that but know it to be true and may vote that opinion.
That is the secret to Trumps strength. He doesn't care what they say about him as long as they talk. And he says what many are thinking without weasel words.

IS "THE DONALD" SO SURE ABOUT THAT - How close is Sweden to Denmark, since as per FREEREPUBLIC Muslims in Denmark are repor protesting in the streets demanding Caliphate???

Well, in truth, these are not so much "fun facts" as they are troubling evidence that Carly Fiorina is yet another establishment plant-cum-loser, one of a series employed by the Republican leadership team to diffuse grassroots support of an outside-the-system candidate like Ted Cruz (or, currently, Donald Trump). With Carly's rise in the polls, due to two solid debate performances, it's worth examining her track record to determine whether: (a) could actually win a general election; and (b) she would offer good policy solutions as a commander-in-chief.
#1
For those of you who may not remember, Lucent was formerly Bell Labs which is where the UNIX computer operating system and C programming language, among a great many other wonderful things, were invented. Carly ran this great national treasure right into the ground. Then she proceeded to do the same thing with the formerly great Hewlett-Packard. IIRC, the HP board of directors ended up paying her something like $21 million to take a hike. I'm not aware of the details of Trump's businesses in Atlantic City but IMHO it cannot possibly compare to Fiorina's monumental failures at Lucent and HP.
Anyone who seriously desires to have this old sour lemon in the White House either doesn't know the facts or is deliberately hiding them.
#2
During the last debate she played her role as the hurt and offended female opposite Trump's white male chauvinist pig quite well and she received the predictable bump in the polls for it. Trump was gracious enough to give it to her, it was the only card she had and she made the most of it. But in fact, like Hildebeest, she really is ugly in more ways than one. Hildebeest, BTW, or even Bernie Sanders, would destroy Fiorina in any head to head contest just like Boxer did. Even Slow Joe would make mincemeat of her.
#3
Ebbang Uluque6305, when did Carly run Lucent? Wikipedia doesn't say when. If hse wasn't actually the top dog it's unfair to blame her for running into the ground.
#4
She bugs me because she has no political experience but she rocked that debate and I hope a few of the Republicans are studying the tactics of offense (that Trump also uses well) rather than giving up ground to avoid offense.
The former Secretary of State lags events. The current Secretary of State just announced the U.S. will take 85,000 next year, even more the year after. Link. Odd that she, such a dear friend and respected colleague of the president, was not informed...

And you found these new soon to be US Assets WHERE?
How about you stop talking about things you know absolutely nothing about.
"ST Peter: Geez GOD, we need to let these others in because they are refugees!"
"Refugees from what?"
"Islam"
"Is that so?
They deny me and make the entire earth into a festering pile of horrible horse shit infested with parisidic values under an un-useable system with the worst language on the planet. The run around the world blowing people up for some fuck up gangster and force that shariah they pulled directly out of some fake scribes ass to govern everywhere they are.
Also, they deny me. Did I mention that?
Did I ASK for any of this shit? Ask yourself Peter, do you want it too?"
ST Peter" ...."
"Here is a can of pepper spray. The gun is on the right side of the gate, key up if you would like heavier artillery to handle this mess of babalistic, balkanizing, infection of all of Civilization."

65,000? JFnKerry is calling for 200,000. The Left are such hypocrites. They don't give a flip about these neo-illegal immigrants except that they are political capital. They only care for them to the extant that their political base will respond at the polls and voting booth.

No A1.
The assimilation costs of transportation(2x), care, feeding, housing and yet another failable wing of govt infrastructure to provide administration of same will cost hundreds of millions. Deciding how to undo the relocation will itself take a decade beyond the limit period.

She lies as easily as she breathes.
But then again, shapeshifting lizards and the democratic party will hold emotional and logical coitus with anyone that worships Karl Marx.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was stumped Sunday when "Face the Nation" moderator John Dickerson asked her to name three words that describe "the real Hillary Clinton."
Apparently, she never did answer the question, or even attempt to. A talking point for every occasion.

Then you won't mind a simple test. Hat tip instapundit
[THEATLANTIC] If conservatives try to overthrow the speaker, it might be up to Nancy Pelosi and her colleagues to save him. Which tells you all you need to know about John Boner.

It also tells you even more about the Washington political establishment. Aside from the odious Boehner, little wonder these people are held in such contempt.

Wish the Atlantic would have had some consideration with their choice of a pic. It will be difficult to get rid of the image of Boehner and Pelosi buss. Not so much difference between Boehner and Pelosi when it comes down to it.
[Right Scoop] Now that the media is completely obsessed with the weird question that was posed to Trump about Obama being a Muslim, Ted Nugent has decided to strike back on their antics by backing the idea that Obama is not a Christian:
Damn straight!! I bet Trump puts Ted on his bad-ass fact-finding and butt-kicking mission to get rid of those Muslim terrorist camps!!!
