Well, to me Trump is like a child with a gun. Dangerous and ignorant. And scary.

And how would he differ from any other US president of the past 80 years? Besides being one of the stupidest ones alongside Reagan, lil Bush?

Well let's see it's Ramadan and there was a mass shooting in Orlando Florida... wasnt it just a year ago that some radical Muslim shot up the night club? I'm taking bets that it's another islamist wacko. Anybody care to place a bet?

I'm also taking bets scotus will uphold the travel ban...any takers?

Hell...I think it's time for internment camps.

I suspect Trump's problem with the mayor is his name. He would have found something to say even if Khan ran in front of the attackers preventing someone from being killed. The same goes for right wing media and supporters.

@giujohn,

I note you had nothing to say about the incident in Portland Oregon where two people died and one injured in an attempt to keep a bigot such as yourself from harassing two Muslim women, one wearing a hijab.

You need to check the definition for bigot you'll find that most closely resembles liberals on A2K it is certainly not me.

Now you may be able to assign the label prejudiced to me... Especially when it comes to bleeding heart liberals.

In reference to the nut job in Portland I would have shot him... Too bad those who tried to intervene knew nothing of self protection.

According to various media:

Quote:

The shooter — a former “disgruntled employee” who was fired in April — then killed himself, Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said. The shooter had previously been accused of battering a fellow employee.

But since that an older news, giujohn might have better and more recent infos.

Yeah...I'm waiting to see if his name is Muhammad or to hear what he yelled as he was killing his victims.

In this case it was me who questioned the authenticity and McGentrix who confirmed it was a fake. Does the right on A2K now deserve credit?

The "right" doesn't, but you and McG do.

That's a usual name for "workplace violence", you think? And what is, in your experience, usually yelled then?

Seems to me Walt the San Bernardino shooter and the ft hood shooter worked there too... And they usually yell out Allah Akbar... I'm just waiting for all the facts on this one.

And this may just be workplace violence... But there's still about a month to go for Ramadan...

No, I'm a discerning right winger who believes in waiting until the truth arrives, ... oh wait, here's some now - Yeah...I'm waiting to see if his name is Muhammad or to hear what he yelled as he was killing his victims.

At that RV accessory business where the shooter had been fired in April? And how is it related to Ramadan? (It's Pentecost Monday today, btw, and being an Italian business ...)

No Walt...just making the observation it can be both work place violence and terrorism at the same time...I'm just waiting to see what this is...

Well hell Walt he could be a druid for all I know (wasn't it just arbor day last month) but typically Muslims are commanded to kill the infidels and it is Ramadan...and us italians usually kill for money.

@giujohn,

You embrace the notion that the US has/had some right to retaliate for 911 [when in fact the alleged hijackers, Osama bin Laden, the Afghan people, Iraq
and Iraqis and Muslims overall were framed by the US government which saw you war criminals murder millions] but you all deny that others might consider that they have that same right you want to reserve solely to yourselves.

Now don't think that I am making a justification for either side. Violence is not the answer.

But you, the USA, are the originators of this worldwide mess, as you always are and so that is where we find ourselves, watching the US murder millions, destroy hundreds of millions of lives. And whine perpetually that they are the ones being badly abused.

@Finn dAbuzz,

Well, in terms of historical figures there are quite a few of which the following are only some

Hebert Hoover
Robert Taft
Barry Goldwater
Ronald Reagan

Leo Strauss
Friedrich Hayek
Milton Friedman
William Buckley

I have to admit that I'm having a hard time identifying current figures.

The National Review and Weekly Standard as well a number of Online blogs like Ace of Spades, and Hot Air are very influential but none of the writers stand out as a leader to me. I like Rich Lowry quite a lot, but he's no Bill Buckley (nor does he try to be)

In the same vein, collectively the Heritage Foundation and AEI should be considered leading organizations.

On the political front I'm an admirer of Ben Sasse but he hasn't made any effort, it seems, to become a leading figure. I'm still hoping that at some point Mitch Daniels makes a run for the White House, but that seems very unlikely.

One thing for sure is that Trump is not a leader of the conservative movement, and I don't think he will destroy it either.

Finn fiddles while the world burns.

Why are you folks so incredibly conceited, so inward thinking, so self absorbed?
