First of all, I am not an idiot. I'm, in fact, very well educated.  Secondly, I spent a number of years working in Washington DC and have seen the political game played up close and personal.  If you continue the name calling, then I will block you and we won't have any more conversations.  I may have taken a position you don't like, but that does not give you the right to call me an idiot, your free speech notwithstanding. 

Yes, I agree with you that Donald Trump never turns the other cheek and has managed to come out with some unfortunate comments.  But this thing with Mr. Kahn is a side show, kept going by Mr. Kahn, I'm sure to the delight of the Democrats. 

How do we know that Mr. Kahn is not a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, or a man who has been radicalized by the death of his son.  I'm not saying he has, but can you say for sure that he hasn't?  I have to say that I have known quite a few Muslims over the years, with my job and in the medical community.  And most of them have been very nice people.  But at the same you cannot discount what might really be in their hearts - as evidenced by the Army Major at Ft. Hood or by the shooters in San Beradino.  I do not want to see this country flooded with Muslims and/or refugees.  First, because the majority of Muslims do not wish to assimilate into U.S. culture and norms.  And I don't see how we can afford to take in Refugees that we know nothing about, and cannot afford to take care of.  It's a nice ideal to think we could embrace the world (like the old Coke Commercial circo 1971)  and take them all in, but the truth is to do so would make the U.S. less safe and we can't afford it.  At this point, we can't even afford to take care of our veterans and disadvantaged children.  If there was ever a time to get real, it is now. 

Let's talk about Black Lives Matters right now.  If you look at it statistically, there are very, very few black people being killed by the police, If you consider the overall population of this country.  And in the vast majority of cases, the police are confronted with people who are breaking the law, resisting arrest and are not usually upstanding citizens. They feel they are being profiled.  Have you ever watched LockUP on TV?  What race is prodominate in the jails and prisons?  So instead of telling their own community to clean up, they instead have decided it is white people and law enforcements fault.  You know, well before the campaign, Hilary met with Black Lives Matter.  She tried to explain that if they were to be meaningful, they needed an actionable platform from which to lobby.  And do you know what they told her?  That they didn't need advice from a white woman on what they should do.  You know, I know a lot of middle class  and upper class black people.  They are living and working, trying to keep their kids on the staight and narrow and getting them through school, because they know that is what will make a difference.  And they you have BLM, trying to defend the actions of punks. 

So Architecht, I get you don't like Trump.  But becasue you don't like him and Hilary is running against him, doesn't mean that he is Satan from HE$$ or that he is any more likely to decide to go nuclear, any more than Hilary.  She talks about his Temperment - but really, her temperment isn't much different than his, she just hides it better.  Reports of nastiness to the WH staff, flying vases and other stories are out that about Hilary.  You just have to look for them.
