Medal of Honor Recipient (Dakota Meyer) Just Blew Trump’s Campaign Wide Open
« on: December 31, 2015, 10:00:59 pm »
Not exactly a liberal. Dakota is who used to be engaged to Bristol Palin.

Quote
Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer pulled no punches when asked about Donald Trump and his plan to institute a moratorium on immigration and visitation by Muslims from the United States.

An outspoken advocate of boots on the ground against ISIS and no stranger to conflict, Meyer wrote:

    Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wants to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

    This, frankly, is the last straw in a high stack of ignorant mob panhandling ideas that have come out of his mouth since he announced his candidacy. Defending this idea in an interview with ABC News, Trump claimed that he is, “the worst thing that’s ever happened to ISIS.” The worst thing to happen to ISIS will be the resolve and heroic actions of our servicemen and women deployed there right now, and the thousands more ready to go. The worst thing to happen to ISIS will be a coalition of our allies relentless in their assault on this cowardly terrorist organization. The worst thing to happen to ISIS will be the entire world — including Muslims — coming together to defeat these thugs. Let’s be real — claiming Trump personally is the worst thing to happen to ISIS is more pompous than Obama claiming responsibility for the death of Osama bin Laden.

    The post yesterday regarding my opinion of Donald Trump, though premature, was spoken from the heart. Waiving the flag and pandering to the crowd does not make you a leader. Calling for a ban of all Muslims immigrating is such a statement. First, muslims come from all parts of the world and refusing entry to the United States based on religion is unenforceable and ignorant. If the process is broken then halt all immigration and fix the system. The attached is a link to a blog where I have expended on my points regarding Donald Trump and the statement made.

    I am alive today because a Muslim acting as my translator along with many Afghan soldiers helped me. Me not defending those men would be a disgrace to my character. It is time to stop painting a religion with such a broad stroke ISIS representing Muslims is like the KKK representing Christians.

Our son has the utmost respect for his Muslim translator in Baghdad.  They became fast friends, and our son trusted him, literally with his life.

Perhaps that's part of the reason I objected to Trump's blanket condemnation of all Muslims, in spite of my understanding of how dangerous some branches of Islam really are.

I know there are others who disagree, but there are sects of Islam that do not support terror in any way, shape or form.

Sorry.  Still have to agree with Trump on this one (and I am not a huge Trump supporter).  As Trump clearly stated; it is not about religion but about national security.  His proposal to ban all Muslim immigration comes after both the terrorist attacks on Paris and San Bernadino. Trump's solution makes a heck of a lot more sense than Hussein's and the DEMS of allowing thousands of potential terrorists into this country in spite of the FBI stating that there is no way to vet these people.  Secondly, they will become citizens after 5 years which is absurd.

Going by the headline, you would think that it is time for Trump to give up, and throw in the towel. He's done.

Yeah sure. I'm sure this guy just "Blew Trump's campaign wide open".

Give me a break already, with these stupid headlines.

There are positions in between Trump's and the Democrats.

Muslims from certain nations can be forbidden entry, visa processing needs to be completely revamped and tightened, tracking of those overstaying visas needs to be ramped up.

A lot can be done short of keeping every single Muslim from every single country out of America.

As to my post....... the translators who risked their lives every day for our troops and were at grave risk after our troops left, should not be treated the same way as others.  It's just what I believe based on the experiences of our military.

No, just immigration from Iran and he revoked Iranian student visas.

I'm on record in this forum for having stated many times my belief that ALL muslims should be  returned from dar al-harb to dar al-islam. Not some of them, but ALL of them.

I stand with Mr. Trump on this one.
He does not go nearly far enough!

So there.

And -- Happy New Year, all!

ISIS and Trump go perfect together.   Making this about Islam rather than Islamofascism is exactly what ISIS wants.    Dakota Meyer speaks the truth - Trump is going to get our boys killed.  Before Obama abandoned the mission,  we succeeded in Iraq with the courage of our troops assisted by their Muslim allies.  Meyer has the moral fiber to stand up to a demagogue unwilling to see the consequences of his rhetoric.

I asked him before to put me on Ignore because he despises me (and follows me around to mock me because I don't love his TRUMPIE), but he refused.

I have had a policy not to put anyone on Ignore because I figure it's cowardice to do so, but this guy is so childish that I just need to get him off my back.

Maybe if he grows up a bit, I can take him off, but for now, I need adult conversation, not the babble he spews.
