Donald J Trump

The 'Terrorist Threat' is manageable. That is not to say it won't cause deaths but that the reaction to such attacks is way-way-way over the top and the invasions that were supposed to end the 'terrorist threat' only increased it 1000 fold. The UK suffered far more under IRA attacks than they have under the current threat. The Bush/Blair cure for the problem was a complete disaster and yet 20 years later we have people saying we should do it again. Saudi Arabia is the No 1 exporter of terrorist ideology and yet both Washington & London are so reliant on this backward medieval Kingdom they have to turn a blind eye to their duplicity.

 

??? by the numbers you give we still have 100 to 200 years before "drastic changes" set in. On the other hand there have already been some fairly drastic changes since this country was founded. The ACW and it's aftermath highlighting one period of significant change the Great Depression through the immediate post WWII period highlighting another. What freedoms we enjoyed and enjoy may well change but I doubt that all the change will be in one direction.

 

First actual contest in the book's.

Trump takes a hit with a mild upset by Cruz and didn't lose his cool......so far.

 

And Hillary's world views don't disturb you as well? We are heading toward a pivotal point in history regardless of who wins. No way to predict what will transpire. Entertainment value could be high, if not disturbing. Hopefully both parties will have someone else come forward.

m Kenny, what I find funny about your post is that Europe has their head in the sand about having major portions of the EU involved right now in the growing global depression and you want to focus on US Christianity At least you took a swipe at Dems, but you tipped your hat when you focused on Republicans.

What is even more funny is the biggest problem confronting Europe is population growth (or the lack of it), which is a huge part of the religion of humanism. The use of XXX XXXX in the narrative was hilarious. There was no indication he was being sarcastic.

Why is it that the Europeans are in desperate need of immigration from Syria? It is an economic reason.

I'm equally appalled by the US candidate list. Your focus on religion makes some valid points. If you truly believe this man though you are totally confused on several key points and like some posters here on certain WW2 topics, I doubt he (or you) have actually read the bible.

 

Where did he focus on US Christianity? I'm not sure I'm in agreement with him but I didn't see that focus. Unless you are talking about the video but that's not him focusing on it.

 

Europeans are not in desperate need of immigration from Syria;it's also not an economic reason . We would be better of without these people .

 

You really should take Econ 101 if you believe that. You have no population base to support your economy. Demographics......

 

Yes, the whole thing was....In superstition we trust. He wasn't likely talking about Islam. Last I knew the Bible also isn't about the Koran.

 

What is the story with Cruz and Canada? Is he eligible to run for president or not?!

It does look like Trunp has been humbled a bit after Iowa.

 

Trump today is now claiming Cruz 'stole' the Iowa caucus and is still Canadian.

It is generally accepted that any child born from a American parent is automatically a US citizen but this particular condition has not come up yet and so there is no precedent that covers it fully. If it goes to court my gut feeling is that they will rule him eligible to be President.

 

In most cases I find the signal to noise ratio of videos to be very low so usually don't bother watching them. But that wasn't mk focusing on US Christianity was it? From the line above it looked like he was implying the individual in the video had rather warped opinions. No single individual can come anywhere close to representing Christianity in the US or even a single state. Indeed there is even dispute over whether or not some sects are Christian or not. And a previous post of his had quote marks around the term Christian and referenced some rather inappropriate behavior in the UK.

 

European demographics are not better /worse than those of Japan,and Japan is not allowing millions of non Japanese to enter the country,nor are millions of non Japanese going to Japan. The fact that they are not coming to/allowed in Japan is not hurting Japan, thus,why would Europe need them ? These people are going to Europe and the result of their coming and presence is that our economy is hurt,very much : this year,they will cost Germany at least 50 billion Euro .

 

I'm not sure I agree with llhawk but your analogy is rather flawed. For one thing Japan is still very densely populated although with the current trends the analogy may be closer but if so then Japan will be needing some immigration as well.

 

Yes, yes it has...

George Romney, the father of Mitt Romney who ran for president as a Republican in 1968, was born in Mexico.
Barry Goldwater, the 1964 GOP presidential nominee, was born in Arizona before it was a state.
Former Republican Presidential candidate Senator John McCain, R-Ariz., was born in the Panama Canal Zone while his father was stationed there.

 

Yes and no. they all Ran for the office, but not actually got elected to the office. much like law making in Congress. its a law when passed but is susceptible to being declare unconstitutional by the courts.

What I mean is that the courts have not had a chance to make settled law on it because no one elected President was actually born outside the US.

I still think if push comes to shove the court will rule that he is, but how the argument is presented could throw a monkey wrench into the mix.

 

I think it is hilarious the way the 'Birthers' are getting some of their own medicine.
