As you can see, bigots like Bart and Co support him whole and sole. I for one would like to see him become president. The comedy will practically write itself.

You know DD, I thought like that for a while too. But then realized it's not so funny any more.

I thought he just might be playing the salesman; giving his fanbase what they want just for the ratings. But it occurred to me, he just might believe in the BS he says! I wouldn't be laughing when that person is C&C of the US armed forces.

Trump is just another New Yorker who wants to put punitive restrictions on an entire population of people without due process.

Trump is the second coming of FDR.

Sad that Trump doesn't know the history of New York, the greatest city in human history, and the immigrant population that made it so.

And calling Donald the second coming of FDR is the highest praise you could ever give the man.

Yeah I don't see why we have to care what America bashing, anti-semites have to say about bigotry, but I would like to come clean on my feelings about Trump.

I like that he's here. I don't support him as a candidate, but I've never believed he's going to win, so I like to encourage the spittle hurling contests that occur when you bring up a Trump story.

He's a distraction. I've always believed this contest is going to come down to Cruz versus Rubio at the end so if Ben and Donald can distract the demagogues until the contest with Hilary begins that's good strategy.

As to this idea of stopping Muslim immigration; I prefer the more nuanced method as proposed by people like Robert Spencer, where the money and the ideological extremes are what's barred entry.

However...now that Donald mentions it...really...How bad would it be?

Exactly. I hope future generations won't be as harsh on us as we are on our predecessors for such wonderful things as Japanese Internment camps (why weren't there German internment camps?) or the S.S. St. Louis and similar incidents.

Sorry Doc but, you'd better check your Canadian history before making racist accusations.

$1:

Many German Canadians interned at Camp 33 had immigrated to the Upper Ottawa Valley in 1876, arriving approximately one year after a Polish migration took up residence in Wilno. Their hamlet, consisting primarily of farmers, was called Germanicus, located less than 10 miles from Eganville. Their farms were expropriated by the federal government with no compensation whatsoever and they were imprisoned behind barbed wire in the camp. The Foymount Air Force Base near Eganville was built on this expropriated land. Even though none of these immigrant homesteaders of 1876 had ever gone back to visit Germany after their arrival, nor had their children or grandchildren, they were accused of being German Nazi agents.

So, as you can see the Canadian Gov't didn't inter people based solely on race, they interred them based on their potential to harm Canada and Canadians which, was and is an understandable reaction to a threat unless you're Tommy.

One of the polls reported on radio today had Trump at 50% in Iowa with high propensity (likely) GOP voters.

Purposes: The Jews are not promoting brain washing the children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims.

The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics. The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.

Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.

Regardless: Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel's part, the following two sentences really say it all:

If the Muslim Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.

If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel.

So, yeah, I value the Jews far more than the Muslims for the simple reason that they have done more for the world than the worshippers of that gutter religion from Medina.

Since you gauge the value of human life on how many Nobel prizes have been won, how many do you have hiding in your closet?

Well ... I don't think that a total crackdown on Muslim immigration is needed but immigration needs to be restricted more.

We cannot let childish Islamic punks ruin our country. They have no understanding of liberty and they have less scientific knowledge than a child who just watched a few episodes of The Magic School Bus.

Sarcasm? Like 90% of my other posts? In order for a comment to show racism, there has to be discrimination based on race. My post does not contain that, nor most of the comments I see that people attribute to 'racism'.

My asking about German internment camps was an offhanded comment seeking the exact information you posted. I live in an area with many German (Polish/Russian) farmers, and I recalled the Japanese internment camps, and the German POW camps in Alberta. But I couldn't recall anything about German immigrants being rounded up and put in camps during either war.

So I asked a question!

Very few Germans were actually interred though. Not anywhere near the scale of the Japanese.

And for people who say there's no such thing as white privilege:

$1:

The government examined the cases of German nationals individually

When you're white, you're always an individual, whose actions in no way reflect the actions of beliefs of other whites.

For everyone else, their actions are completely explained by their race or religion and so all members of that race/religion are held accountable - which is why virtually all Japanese were rounded up while only a handful of Germans were.

In 1914, immigrants from Austria-Hungary, Germany and the other Central Powers were rounded up and locked away in internment camps. More than 8,000 people who considered themselves Canadian were imprisoned for being “enemy aliens.”
