`donald trump: I would ‘strongly consider’ shutting down mosques if necessary`

[LongTermGuy]

Donald isn't afraid...and has no worries about appeasement and "PC"

`Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Republican presidential candidate Donald <nobr>Trump</nobr>was asked if he would be willing to shut down mosques, he said that would be something he would consider.
MSNBC’s Chris Jansing asked, “Is there something that you would do here in the homeland that you think is not being done now to protect United States citizens?”
Trump replied, “Well, you’re going to have to watch and study the mosques because a lot of talk is going on at the mosques. And from what I heard in the old days, meaning a while ago, we had great surveillance going on in and around mosques in New York City, and I understand our mayor totally cut that out. He totally cut it out. I don’t know if you’ve brought that up and I’m not sure it’s a fact. But I heard that under the old <nobr>regime</nobr>, we had tremendous surveillance going on in and around the mosques of New York City. And that’s been totally cut out.”`

Good move. There should be a national law that no municipality can have an Islamic population greater than 1%. Let's trade our Muslims for Christians being persecuted in the MidEast.

The Hell with a trade. Lets just go take what is ours and get rid of the trash.

Do you think he cares about the Constitution? How do you think he feels about internment camps?

That seems to run afoul of our founding documents.

But it's probably good to trade one POTUS who sucks and craps on the Constitution with another that sucks and craps on the Constitution.

Once again, Donald Trump behaves like a clown, pandering to any fool who will listen to him.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

If Trump wants to shut down all mosques, I want all Catholic priests arrested. To protect our children from pedophilia.

Also, if we are going to trash the first amendment, let's trash the second amendment as well.

There's only ONE group of 'people' out there blowing people up and joining terror groups. Simply don't let a single refugee in our country, not a single one. Nothing wrong with that, and it would be a wise move. Put up a monster sized wall. Put a HUGE dent into illegal immigration. Monitor ALL chatter/activity. Hopefully what little is here will assimilate - or go elsewhere. Nothing unlawful or unconstitutional about protecting borders, putting up a wall and monitoring crime. Also nothing wrong with ending immigration problems.

Will be interesting to hear how he squares that off with the constitution.

Strong actions (even just proposing them) of a Conservative nature bothering you, FJ .. ? Oh dear.

The point about Trump .. and stalwarts such as Margaret Thatcher .. is that they do what is RIGHT. They draw whatever line in the sand they need to draw, for the furtherance of their country's best interests. Leftie whingers are overridden, and effective remedial actions are taken.

This is what defines a great leader versus a useless wimp.

So, FJ ... dream up some pedantry to (you'd hope) wheedle your way out of approving. You know you want to.

'Nice' to see you and FJ in apparent agreement in your approaches.

Stalin was his own version of a terrorist.

Strong anti-immigration and anti-terrorist measures do not serve terrorism, they combat it, with the welfare of countries served by it. Stalin just imposed his own terrorism and acted against the welfare of his country .. frequently, lethally so.

Perhaps these differences escape you ?

spying on mosque doesn't square off with the constitution that's why NY stopped it.
neither does spying on all immigrants, or monitoring all U.S. "chatter"
neither does "taking whats "ours"" and "getting rid of the the trash"

Trump and it seems few republicans care little to nothing about the constitution.

FEAR makes them want to assume ALL muslims are a danger, put up walls and shoot 1st and ask questions later.

I'm beginning to think that those with that mind set should move to Texas put up your walls around it. spy on every texans moves. F -warrants and probable cause. torture those that are acting funny. Kill people on the st that don't obey police orders like a soldier. Live off the land. The Gov can send Texas militia and air troops around the world to fight any terrorist they think are coming to kill Texans, and jail any texans without trial who are suspect of anything.

the rest of us can keep the constitution.
Not spy on citizens, use warrants, Police can protect and serve, we keep free speech, and freedom of religion, have the president get a declaration of war before he kills anyone overseas, have trails for suspects, use public evidence, and people aren't jailed or killed unless they have a trial. keep the 2nd amendment, even help a refugee or 2.
etc etc.

I get the feel good Hoorah for Gettin' the bad guys but don't pretend it's constitutional or even practical.

Probably the same way liberals square off "gun control" with the Second Amendment. Hmmmm .... any religion is fine as long as it isn't an "assault religion" and doesn't have more than 10 members praying at any one time. Works for me.
