Guest shiloh357 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 All this is, is temporary ban to enable us to ferret out the terrorists from the non-terrorist refugees. Nothing more. I don't really see that it is such a big deal. And it provides a way to let those with valid papers in on a case-by-case basis. It is not a wholesale ban on Muslims. It's just seven countries and really not the big hairy deal people are making out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven countries, excluding Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Egypt. The banned countries were taken directly from a list previously established by the Obama administration.

All of his EOs so far have had a similar purpose, to excite the faithful, they are red meat the masses. What better way to pump up the followers than to have the evil Muslims being evicted from our country right on live TV. Trump is still in Celebrity Apprentice mode, i.e., equating ratings with effectiveness. In the meantime the media is having a feeding frenzy with his latest EO, which wasn't well thought out as it left hundreds in a transit limbo.

If they're members of the executive branch, the military,wherein any president is the enlisted soldiers commander in chief, those soldiers follow orders. You claim you'll pray for Trump to gain wisdom and temperance. Your callous remarks demonstrate you should pray for those characteristics to come upon you. You've not a clue what you're talking about. You're simply bashing the president because you're unaware of scripture, and the need for national security against all enemies that have shown themselves to us. Both foreign and domestic.

I really had no opinion abou8t him until he opened his mouth and spoke and then I had some opinions. His policies to date have raised questions as welll, I know that some people love what he is doing but I am fearful of the consequences of his actions and his words now that he is president. I would hope that he would temper his reactions and words towards other countries or it is a real possibility that we will be isolated as a country at best and all of us glowing in the dark at worst. Don't worry many people in Europe are fed up with their leaders and in spite of his past MR Trump seems to be proving that he is a real statesman . Maybe the first for many a long day .They always are ahead of the 'sheep' and are brave . It is easy to cave in to the media hype ,but real change requires some God given courage ,which he has, even if you don't agree with all he does . Unless there is someone to stand up and be counted, we will have no countries ,and no real culture . Because of the internet more people can find the truth, and he has many supporters on the ground . I am beginning to think of him as a General de Gaulle, whom I prefer to Chuchill ,whom I do not like ,so heres hoping someone will give a book , on this great French leader .
