From the article:
Progressives typically frame debate as their way is compassionate, any other way cruel and uncaring. So it is not surprising to see the issue framed this way here.Clearly, the President himself understands that people in some of the seven listed countries are themselves at grave risk from acts of terrorism. His attempt to slam the door on them can therefore only be interpreted as an act of the utmost callousness and cruelty.
We must live on two different planets. Our newly sworn in POTUS has made the world a much more dangerous place to live in just 50 days. The news conference yesterday with Angela Merkel, the PM of Germany and literal head of the EU was a debacle of grand proportions. The continual river of lies that have come from the White House since January 20th boggles the mind.That piece distorts the FACTS about what Trump is trying to do!
He is correct in trying to ‘clean his own house’ - BEFORE he can help anyone from anywhere.
He is cautious in ensuring the problems these people are trying to run from do not find a seat in his own house. The rot that has infested the countries selected need to be stayed and addressed. Like any ‘sickness’ or ‘epidemic’ - forst is to identify it, isolate it and determine an antidote for it!
People get caught up in emotive discourse to the point that the piece literally accuses him of being ‘uncaring’ and some have called him un-Christian in action and motive.
I disagree!
The sooner he secures his house, the sooner he’ll be able to assess and comment (support or decry) the inhumane activities of all else…and be in a position to implement activity toward it! He’s that kind of man and President.
Courage in speaking frankly is not an issue for him; see - German Chancellor, Mexico, Canada, Australian PM, China, North Korea…even Russia. His inauguration speech was something else when it comes to fortitude in front of the ‘elite’ of Washington and recent Administrations. He knows the ‘power’ he wields, but he is NOT into using it wantonly…including American might!
With his election, ‘Merry Christmas’ appeared unchallenged on shop fronts 2016!! By statements and action he made that happen!..and a signal of his moral compass…but he is still a man, like anyone else!
He is not tied or beholden to special interests, donours or lobbyists…and easy to see in his statements.
God allows men’s freewill in all things and the elections are no different…but I pray, for what they’re worth from a sinner, that Trump be a useful instrument for The Almighty in global matters that may not be obvious to some perspectives!
GO TRUMP!

No, it is not callous or cruel. It is cautious in the protection of the American people, and that is his first job.
On the other hand, I think we can do more to help these people where they are. I think, in conjunction with Arab states, safe zones can be arranged to protect and care for these people.

Yes, I think l, following the securing of the border, that a change in our immigration policy is a must. I also think a re-emphasis on the “melting pot”, as opposed to the “salad bowl”, should be at the top of the list99% agreement
Support for safe zones on all levels: financial, health care, nutrition, etc.
Fix the immigration policy and consider orderly movement afterwards.
ACTUALLY, I’ve reasoned out that he saved us from WW3!! The provocative manoeuvres between NATO and Russia looked like Russia was awaiting to see if Hillary would win! Putin knew what THAT POTUS would do!!Our newly sworn in POTUS has made the world a much more dangerous place to live in just 50 days.
I know Angela is a Christian!..and probably trying her best as she feels. But the ‘suffering’ among her people is for all to see…EVEN if the media are simply sensationalizing occurrences there!!..you’d have to be dead to not have feelings about the plight of Germans at the moment.The news conference yesterday with Angela Merkel, the PM of Germany and literal head of the EU was a debacle of grand proportions.
If your mind began boggling from Jan 20th 2017…then I wonder what it was doing during the hearings regarding the Benghazi fiasco, all the exposed shenanigans of 2016, 2015, 2014…alll the way back to Sept 11th 2001…and prior!The continual river of lies that have come from the White House since January 20th boggles the mind.
He’s rejuvenating the Christian voice in the US against the wind of Liberalism gone haywire, atheism and simply to be BACK IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE!I’m glad you are happy that “Merry Christmas” was more prevelant in your area last December.
This ignores all Trump has said and done already regarding Israel, the down Trodden of US inner-cities, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Sweden even!!How about the vast increase in anti-semetic acts, blatent racism and admiration for the “poorly educated” (who elected Trump and whom the new Trumpcare will decimate)?
Trump was recounting a factual occurrence he experienced! He was NOT advocating someone else or others to do it! Keep things in perspective! Right or wrong, morally or legally, can be debated from there!Of course, Donald Trump is so morally smug that when he teaches that if you are a “star”, you can just kiss whom ever you want and more importantly, grab women by their private parts. I’m sure that many moral humans of all different faith traditions want their sons to grow up and follow Trump’s example and their daughters to accept men of such standards.![]()
Since you’re echoing and parroting the propaganda narrative of (Fake News) media, I’d say we’re on the same planet but one of us is in an echo-chamber!We must live on two different planets.
Yes, I now understand that Britebart and Alex Jones are your “go-to” sources for reality and non fake news. Let me guess, you think Alex Jones is a top notch reporter…There has only been one perfect leader for the world, and he’s been gone 2000 years and many who claim to be faithful followers have conveniently forgotton to take a look at the Gospels and Corporol Works of Mercy once in a while, just so they remember what the Lord taught. Trump is being used by Bannon and Miller for their own nefarious purposes.ACTUALLY, I’ve reasoned out that he saved us from WW3!! The provocative manoeuvres between NATO and Russia looked like Russia was awaiting to see if Hillary would win! Putin knew what THAT POTUS would do!!
‘Dangerous’ is subjective! Tell that to the peoples in ALL THE WARS of the recent 20years involving the US!
FINALLY theere is a POTUS who actually WANTS to talk to his ‘enemy’ rather than intimidate / provoke him!
Peace rather than war…!!! What a novelty!
I know Angela is a Christian!..and probably trying her best as she feels. But the ‘suffering’ among her people is for all to see…EVEN if the media are simply sensationalizing occurrences there!!..you’d have to be dead to not have feelings about the plight of Germans at the moment.

Those who keep pushing their own wants and failings on Trump about race, creed and genders…are their own reflected images and intellectual dishonesty.
Trump was recounting a factual occurrence he experienced! He was NOT advocating someone else or others to do it! Keep things in perspective! Right or wrong, morally or legally, can be debated from there!
He’s clearly a mortal man, susceptible to all we are!..but if you’re expecting a saint to fall from Heaven to be POTUS, good luck with that! I’d suggest reading the lives of Noah, King Solomon, King David, St Paul, St Augustine, et al…of mortal men and how history remembers them.
Since you’re echoing and parroting the propaganda narrative of (Fake News) media, I’d say we’re on the same planet but one of us is in an echo-chamber!
You have a computer…look around the world peoples for a bit and update your knowledge of reality.

whatever one might think of Trump, the supposition that Trump is naive enough to be used by someone is, frankly, ludicrous. If nothing else, he thinks and acts for himself. Brannon is clearly an influential advisor, but he is not using Trump. Clearly, Trump is using him.Yes, I now understand that Britebart and Alex Jones are your “go-to” sources for reality and non fake news.

MW: this is strange;I don’t have much of a response.
There’s no point.
I don’t like Trump.
I can’t stand Alex Jones!! He borders on being unhinged when you challenge his convictions!Yes, I now understand that Britebart and Alex Jones are your “go-to” sources for reality and non fake news.

The incessant trumpeting of “Social Justice” (ad nauseam) has steamrolled almost everything else. Emotion lords it over intelligence and good old common sense. In some cases, the ability to reason seems to have bitten the dust.MW: this is strange;
who else was there to vote for if you’re a Christian?
The Democratic platform was the most hostile platform ever devised against
christianity, and in particular, catholicism.…
…I don’t know a single “orthodox” Roman Catholic that voted for H. Clinton.![]()
The left always likes to use the puppetmaster bogeyman. With Bush, it was Cheney and Wolfowitz. With Trump, it is Bannon. Apparently the American people are too stupid when they vote for the Republican side to choose a person who can think for himself.whatever one might think of Trump, the supposition that Trump is naive enough to be used by someone is, frankly, ludicrous. If nothing else, he thinks and acts for himself. Brannon is clearly an influential advisor, but he is not using Trump. Clearly, Trump is using him.
As for nefarious purposes, that is obviously a matter of opinion, particularly when the accusation is made without evidence.
