Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
Donald 'I'm a Nationalist, Okay?' Trump doesn't see a rise in white nationalism.
Seriously the man cannot be defended on this count. He's a bigot, a racist and self-professed nationalist.

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
That is correct. This is a war and the sides are drawn. Trump and his fervent supporters must be eliminated by whatever legal mean necessary ASAP. Every single day that Trump sits in the White House is a wasted day and brings us further to our demise as a people.

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
Nice scare tactic but flawed.... how many 'terrorists' are there compared to the entire Muslim World???
How many murders are committed by 'good' Christians around the world????
Now how many acts of Islamic terrorism occur in the good ol USofA????
Compare that to whites murdering Jews, Muslims and if they are really stupid- Hindus they confused for Muslims... :roll:
FYI according to the FBI there were over 17,000 murders committed in the USofA in 2016 alone.... seems you should fear your fellow American here far more than an Islamic terrorist abroad...

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
I am afraid it's too late.
The left has already "hijacked" that word.
The left has been very successful in making that word a synonym for "racism."
It is now a hot potato that is taboo for any serious discussion.
Have a nice day!

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
Right on!
I much more fear my fellow Americans of ALL ethnicities than I do a terrorist,
I do not lose a moment's sleep over being the victim of terrorism; I do fear, however, being the victim of ordinary street thugs anytime I leave my home.

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
I have this hi-strung foreign wife. She makes this sound that we, the kids and I, call the "Banshi Scream".
My wife makes this annoying sound whenever she wants something that nobody in the room wants to giver her, or do for her.
For instance, if Judge Judy is on, and the boys and I are trying to watch a hockey game, she'll start with the "Banshi Scream" till we move.
Libbies have the same tactic. They scream and howl and call people all sorts of names...hell their willing to even lie and cheat...to get their way.
But I Am A Nationalist. I value the sovereignty of my nation. I value the culture of my nation. I value the effort it took to create my nation.
And I am not going to forsake my nation, just because a bunch of loud and obnoxious Libbies, learned the "Banshi Scream" from my hi-strung foreign wife.

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
Your arguments are just getting more and more stupid.
Tell me...was the Obama administration 'racist' when they identified the 7 Muslim countries out of 49 majority Muslim countries that Jeh Johnson...Obama's head of Homeland Security...declared were "unwilling or unable to assist in the vetting process" and should therefore be restricted in their access to the country?
Or was that 'different'?
:lamoWell the same argument could be made about Muslim terrorists- a very few among the MILLIONS of peaceful followers of Islam.
Now don't be modest, white nationalism is alive and well in our politics, and they have had influence on government policy. Remember the ban tRump tried to push through in the beginning??? tRump is pandering to his white pride base when he declares 'crisis on the border', and calls asylum seekers drug runners and known criminals. Remember the President declared there were 'good' people marching with the white pride agitators during our recent white pride marches that had white power 'loser' killing an American citizen? Remember Congress 'loser' King??? He was very influential in Congress for years as chairman of various committees.
I'd say the white power deflectors are useful idiots for the white pride activists who are intent on trying to hang on to power based on ethnicity...

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
Your arguments are getting more and more desperate.... :roll:
Did candidate tRump have any clue about the refugees coming from the countries he would later blacklist??? He ranted and railed on the campaign trail before having any idea on the subject other than bigotry. (I'd opine he still is clueless)
Did tRump investigate any of the countries he outright ban- COMPLETE AND TOTAL BAN- as soon as his fat ass hit the Oval Office seat????
Did Obama demand a Muslim ban as he campaigned for the Presidency?
Was one of Obama's first EO's a complete Muslin ban on entire nations???
Did Obama ever demand a ban on ALL Muslims from any of these countries????
That is a YUGE difference....eace

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
Nationalism does not equal patriotism. A nation is the people in the country. A German patriot, for example, is proud of Germany, a German nationalist is proud of the German people. Same with Englsh patriots and nationalists, Italian, Japanese, Russian patriots are proud of Russia, Russian nationalists proud of the Russian people, etc. So where does this leave white nationalists?

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
Whats the problem with that, if nationalism is just patriotism? Why is white nationalism just tickety-boo but black nationalism racism?
Amswer- nationalism according to complexion is racism, correct?

Just wondering does a nationalist have to be white. Can't anyone be in favor of advocating for American workers versus outsourcing as one example?

Please provide cite for this..... without it, you are merely speaking off the top of your head.
People that get their worldview off the top of their heads are often wrong because they are misinformed. You know, garbage in; garbage out.
If white nationalism is not a problem, then certain ISIS and illegals are not, as white nationalists commit violent crimes at a much higher rate than either.

If?
Mal I hear it regularly.
Although I have to admit...after all these years, I think she's finally realized how annoying it is.
Hey...that makes her sharper than the average Libbie.

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
Here's what the president really said when asked if white nationalism was a rising threat throughout the world... As usual, the OP, wasn't being honest when telling us exactly how the president replied. :roll:
"I don't really. I think it's a small group of people that have very, very serious problems, I guess," the President said. "If you look at what happened in New Zealand, perhaps that's the case, I don't know enough about it yet. They're just learning about the person and the people involved. But it's certainly a terrible thing."

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
If you wish to believe that undocumented immigrants (for their proportion of the population) commit fewer crimes than so-called white nationalists, you are, of course, entitled to that opinion.
As a relatively new member, I am amused by how many members cite tons of statistics to back up their views: There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Have a nice day!

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
It didnt exist because you swallow everything you are fed like a good little leftist.
Actually he specifically cited the same problems Jeh Johnson had cited...which is why they used the 7 countries OBAMA declared at risk. And where was your poutrage? Where were your cries of racism and hatred?Your arguments are getting more and more desperate.... :roll:

It's okay if it's a white nationalist. That's just patriotism. A black nationalist is a racist, though.
Problem is with the word 'nation'. Does it mean country or does it mean people? Seems to be a movable feast- you can have it wherever you want it.

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
Double down on the desperation I see... why am I not surprised... :roll:
The difference is the Obama administration STUDIED the issue- NEVER declared a TOTAL ban- NEVER made it an unsubstantiated campaign rabble bait- NEVER had the white nationalists line up to applaud.... :doh
FYI I stopped drinking the Kool-Aid my second year as a grunt and until then I was a good little right winger... voted for Nixon and everything....eace

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
The only Muslim 'ban' imposed was on the 7 Muslim states identified by OBAMA. The states cited were identified BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION as being unwilling or unable to assist in adequate vetting process. And people like you never said a ****ing word when it was Obama calling for the restrictions.
See...the truly sad thing is, it shouldnt take Trump calling for a ban on those 7 states. ANYONE that wasnt a total ****ing moron should be able to recognize tha when countries are too ****ed up to assist in a reliable vetting process, you have to restrict immigration from those countries until a better system was worked out. People like you understood it...when Obama was in office. When Trump took office you **** yourself. Again.
Because you swallow everything you are fed like a good little leftist.
The only time a total ban was mentioned was on the campaign trail and it wasnt to ban Muslims it was to get a grip on a broken system. See...when you and others are so desperate to lie to make an argument you just shred your argument...and your integrity.Double down on the desperation I see... why am I not surprised... :roll:

Re: Donald Trump: ‘I Don’t Really’ See A Rise In White Nationalism
Now you are just spinning like a top. Total ban on MUSLIMS, tRump never said on all immigrants, just Muslims. His first EO was a TOTAL BAN from any Muslim coming from a rather odd list of countries, but a TOTAL ban on ALL MUSLIMS from those countries- quit trying to change my words or the facts!
You don't understand simple words- more restrictions is not a TOTAL BAN. Quit trying to blame Obama for tRump's bigotry (due note at NO TIME did tRump ever refer to Obama's actions)
One more time restrictions are not a TOTAL BAN.... :doh
The rabid right needs to stop regurgitating everything tRump force feeds them...eace
