Before I saw Donald Trump give a political speech, I laughed at his chances, because I thought he was unserious, if not an outright huckster. But then I watched his campaign kick-off speech.
And as each minute passed I thought, "Hey, that makes sense. And so does that."
And just his tone, being proud of America in a way that you could tell he meant. I became a bit of a convert that first day.
Yesterday, Trump gave a major speech on radical Islam, immigration and foreign policy that was so clear, principled and forceful, I’ve never heard anything like it from a politician of any magnitude. It would never have been approved by a professional political campaign manager.
Here’s just one excerpt:
We cannot continue to allow thousands upon thousands of people to pour into our country many of whom have the same thought process as this savage killer. Many of the principles of radical Islam are incompatible with Western values and institutions. Remember this, radical Islam is anti-woman, anti-gay and anti-American. I refuse to allow America to become a place where gay people, Christian people, Jewish people are targets of persecution and intimation by radical Islamic preachers of hate and violence.
After you watch the speech along with me, ask yourself:
Is Donald Trump really “crazy”, as the liberal media says?
Or is it crazy to keep doing what we’ve been doing, simply hoping that Muslim terrorists will stop killing us on their own?
NEXT: Our own Tiffany Gabbay is an American who understands why Trump's comments on radical Islam appeal to so many voters.
THEN: Renowned gun law expert John Lott explains why guns are not the problem. His fact-based, statistical analysis is so enlightening -- Lott debunks the usual anti-gun talking points like no one else.
FINALLY: Messages about my report on the Orlando terror attack, including viewers who accuse me of fear mongering.
We can pay you 10% of the savings we will get. This will still make us one of the richest nations on earth.
Humbly,
your desperately needy neighbors to the north
All joking aside Ezra (maybe I’m not joking), it is good to hear someone say the obvious, I have to agree, not sure if I heard that before.
at the shoulder or the waist.
I like those Trump clips, I like Trump, I’ve been waiting about 6 years to hear any
Politician/wanna-be talk like that about “Radical Islam”. I agree with you and The Donald, he mentioned Canada and he’s pro Keystone II, we must face reality, and it’s not according to the CBC.
Hillary’s past shows that she’s all about money & power & she has no trouble committing treason to get it.
Empty headed celebrities want to disarm law abiding citizens – but not their own security people. They want open borders – but don’t you dare step foot on one of their estates. They live in their own world – cut off from reality.
For years I have taken issue with the use if the definite article " the " by people that are not Muslims when they refer to Mohammed . I am not a Muslim so I refer to Mohammed with the pronoun “their”. He is "their " prophet , not mine. I don’t acknowledge him as anything other than another human being that roamed the earth. Nothing more, nothing less.
The left has done everything to denigrate Christianity for decades now. Obama himself denigrated people of faith with his famous ‘clinging to guns and bibles" quote. Yet here he is ,the prime defender of Islam? Christians are being persecuted all over the planet and he tells us we have to respect Islam. Americans have the First and Second Amendments and they are both under assault to protect Muslims. Speak no evil about Islam is violating the right to free speech. Blaming atrocities like Orlando on guns to hide the fact that it is Islamists that committed them in the name of allah is an assault on right to bear arms.
I don’t think in Canada we have the protections that the United States Constitution provides. America is the last nation standing when it comes to freedom and liberty and God help us if we lose them.
I can see a day when Trudea will be sending us to jail for spelling the reference to mohammed as “their” “profit”.
After reading through this site for hours tonight, I compiled the annual numbers they have reported on violence initiated by radical Islam…
they have been around and documented and linked news reports since 9/11 breaking this down even further by individual event… my crude summary…
countries attacks killed wounded
2010 48 2023 9233 17461
2011 58 1986 9086 16921
2012 58 2480 11546 20254
2013 50 2822 15775 29577
2014 50 3001 32863 27522
2015 53 2865 27626 26149
2016 48 1049 9961 12010
totals 16226 116090 149894
So since 2010 almost 266k people have been attacked, wounded or killed by Islamic extremists…
The counter argument some left thinking individual might put up will be that there have been more or similar numbers of dead from civilians killed by drones attacks, friendly fire, and American foreign policy over the last decade or more…
Okay, that’s still not addressing the problem here… how do you sit in a room with leaders that entire religious belief system is uncompromising and its okay to lie, steal, assault, rape, behead, and basically say anything and be held to nothing you’ve committed to because its okay to do this if it gives you the chance to go in for the kill?
I’m sure there are many, and I know a number of good people who are Muslim, Jewish, Christian, etc…and many have never really read the books at the center of their belief or faith. Muslims who are open minded might want to go read up on their “profit” and what he’s really preaching and advocating in their good book…and then explain how that works in its entirety in a place where we advocate freedoms and open society. I know how this works for Christians, understand how it works for Jews, Buddhists, Hindu and even atheist or agnostic non believers… Can’t seem to fit it together though for Muslim so I’m going to do more research and would encourage others to as well as Im comfortable with who i am.
There’s no simple answer… Perspective outside your safe spoon fed western open society free speech without the penalty of death, no bully’s allowed, be who you are in a politically correct world is a bitch!
price of that freedom = vigilance and resolve
Is that how he builds up his voter base?
What tools does he have left?
Its nice that you people have seen the video as it isn’t available for me; it says "error loading player ". Its not my computer as I get everything else. Anyone else have a problem?
