Trump backtracks on Muslim registry

[gabosaurus]

The comedy is already under way.

A spokesman for the Trump transition team has claimed that Donald Trump “never advocated” for a registry tracking individuals based on their religion, despite video evidence showing Trump doing exactly that.

Jason Miller, the communications director for the transition team, released a statement on Thursday in response to reports that the incoming administration has been considering a register for Muslims arriving in the US:

Unfortunately for Miller, his statement is directly contradicted by this video of Trump at a campaign event in Newton, Iowa, in November 2015.

Well...if it was a liberal, the common retort would be "I misspoke"!

I give this one to Trump. If i remember correctly he said that off the cuff and based on a question that gave him that option.
But primarily I'm glad he's "backtracked" because it's assumes suspicion/guilt based on religion.
And the idea is obviously an exact copy of the NAZI registration of the Jews.
However I have to wonder if there's some database like this already. Just based on the amount of info the go'vt and corps are tracking anyway.

President-elect Trump has never advocated for any registry or system that tracks individuals based on their religion, and to imply otherwise is completely false.

In the video, asked by a reporter for NBC News if he would implement a database of Muslims, Trump responded: “I would certainly implement that. Absolutely.”Asked if Muslims would be legally obligated to sign in to the database, Trump responded: “They have to be.” He also said: “There should be a lot of systems, beyond databases, we should have a lot of systems.”

To imply otherwise is completely false,
history is what we tell you it is, not how it was (:

You are your own suicide pact. People too stupid to protect themselves and what they have and put the rights of the usurpers out to take rather than earn don't deserve to live.

Do you serve any actual function in life that anyone cares about?

You and your irrational fear of conquest and low regard for freedom.
The only safety that'd finally satisfy some people like you is in a walled prison where everyone is numbered, tracked by guards and all swear loyalty oaths everyday.

if you want to go to hyperbolic name calling well, we both can go there gunny.

My regard for freedom is quite high, thanks. YOUR lack of regard for the freedom of others except those you deem worthy is the issue. You're the dumbass that wants to come along and solve the murder later and claim victory. Great. Except I'm still dead because you don't want to call a rose a rose.

But I bet you got a lock on YOUR door, don't you? Those criminals that want your stuff are being deprived of their right to it. THAT is how much sense YOU make. Everything to you is about your warped perception of right and wrong and you're more than willing to endanger the public in general to prove it. Never worried about the big picture and/or the elephant in the room.

All radical Islamists are fucking Muslims the same as all rattlesnakes are rattlesnakes. NEITHER has the right to deprive others of theirs.

I think he backtracked months ago.

This massive willing blindness in regards to Islam is baffling. It has to be some spiritual link to evil that enthralls the morons that defend the living hell out of it all. They that merely shrug at the thousands and thousands of murders of innocent women and children, then go on the criticize and vilify we that point out the depravity , savagery and murders commanded by the holy book of Islam, the Koran!
I doubt that any other blindness of this size and depth exists in this world.
Useful idiots doesn't even cover its depth and scope nor the absolute convictions in which obvious and clear truths about Islam are denied!

We have the Internet and Google, so finding the linked truth of Islam's daily atrocities around the globe is quite easy but millions had rather believe the lie and not face the truth. Had rather believe the lie so as to have an excuse for taking no stand-no meaningful action!
Morons, cowards, imbeciles --matters not the reason -these allies to Islam bear the same eight of responsibility in these thousands of murders as do the insane murderers IMHO.
I PRAY THAT SOMEDAY JUSTICE BE DELIVERED UNTO THEM ALL.

no you're a dumba$$

Never worried about the big picture and/or the elephant in the room which is once they take the muslims rights they take yours AS WELL. And also jail and kill innocent people and foment MORE hostility.

See part of your problem is that you don't seem to think that the constitution CAN be used to and still protect the nation. I believe it can. Many in the NSA FBI CIA and armed forces believe it can as well. But knee jerk reactionary "concerned" people like yourself seem to think the -track and kill them all, laws be d@mned- technique is the ONLY way to deal with people your "concerned" about. Those you even SUSPECT.
sorry you say your open minded and wise but you don't show it.
Seems you've got ONE solution for every problem.
You might want to try something for a moment. Try thinking of the world as your extended family rather than just enemies or potential enemies. you're out of the military now. no need to carry that thinking over into civilian life and politics.
If you can't broaden your options please don't pretend that your way is the ONLY way. It's not even the only way for other people IN the military.

In theory only. Not in practice.

No one who claims to be Christian and is OK with a "Muslim registry" never gets to bitch about religious freedom ever again.
