AND TRUMP ACCUSED OF

Enough with the baloney already. 

The tar and feather factions of the progressive ideologies have joined forces with those throwing a hissy fit on the right.  The attempt to twist and abuse the factual content of Mr. Trump’s stances on Radical Islamic Terrorism and illegality at our southern border has been largely successful.  Terms like hateful, bigoted, racist, xenophobic, have been used with abandon in order to create a perception unsupported by fact.  As usual, the firestorm is fanned by a ratings hungry media and a click hungry bunch of bloggers.  The left side of politics is more than happy to add their support to this and that is easily understood.  What is difficult to understand is why the conservative GOP is so intent on messing around on the wrong side of what could benefit their political goals.

Political correctness has run amok in our society, our history being rewritten and our future directed by the few.  Anyone who can access a microphone or a reporter (sometimes questionable) has the power of directing our sociological path with their hurt feelings.  This is nothing less than a form of social readjustment similar to the restrictions imposed in Germany during the 1930’s and early 1940’s.  We, as a unified country and international community, opposed that then, why not now?

Mr. Trump is applying for the position of POTUS, the most important office in the United States.  Should he acquire that position he will be required to take an oath in which he agrees to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States.  Within the boundaries of that oath he is agreeing to defend the people of this nation, all of us, from enemies within and without.  Protecting our borders, as defined in our laws, and protecting our economy it seems would come under the inclusions of that oath.

In relation to our Muslim citizens, I don’t think they would be interpreting Mr. Trump’s stance on keeping us safe from Radical Islamic Terrorists as being racist, bigoted, or xenophobic in nature if it weren’t for the twisting of his words.  The Muslim population worldwide has suffered terrific loss of life, country and stability at the hands of this terrorist bunch of fanatics.  I would venture a guess they don’t want that brand of Islam in their neighborhoods any more that the rest of us.  Media and ideology have discolored truth and political correctness as the paintbrush of choice.  

In reference to opening our doors to all Muslims because they are Muslims, is not rational and we do need to be assured of which set of belief structures they emulate.  Not a good time to just open your front door.  Mr. Trump’s stance on Muslim immigrants into our country, quoting him:   "Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life." That quote sounds a lot more like common sense approach than a bigoted or racist one.  It most assuredly is not at odds with our Constitution as one recent democrat speaker inferred during the DNC.

Regarding our southern border, the Donald wall, and the rule of law, I find it difficult to label him as a xenophobe for stating he will take his oath as President as an oath.  Our country has existing immigration laws that have been abused, often ignored not just by those entering our country but by the very government officials we have elected.  While I think we have to find a humane way to deal with people who have behaved as law abiding citizens. we do not have to continue with the malfeasance as common practice.  Trump stating he wants to stop the influx of drugs and criminals, not to mention Jihadists, by enforcing our border does not make him a racist or a bigot. 

Wake up folks, you are being manipulated, and it’s not going to serve you well if it is successful.

Pray for discernment.  Demand honesty and truth.

God bless our country and our neighbors.
