Watch Jimmy Carter Ban Iran Immigrants And Deport Students During The Hostage Crisis
One of Donald Trump's recurring refrains ever since the San Bernardino shooting, ostensibly the one which prompted him to declare he would bar Muslims from entering the country - an announcement which has unleashed an unprecedented media scandal - is that the "US is at war." Whether or not that is the case remains to be seen (we expect tens of thousands of US troops to be deployed soon, this time without the protective cloak of CIA "covert ops") but what is certain is that Trump is merely proposing to do what Democrat Jimmy Carter did back on April 7, 1980, when he banned Iranians from the US and deported Iranian students during the Iran hostage crisis - a time when some could argue the US was likewise in war with the Iranian regime.
Courtesy of the Gateway Pundit, here is a screengrab from the ABC News report of President Carter’s Iran speech regarding US cutting relations with Khomeini's regime in Iran.

The full video of Carter's speech is below:
ABC Breaking News | Latest News Videos
And here is the full transcript from ABC News:
Ever since Iranian terrorists imprisoned American Embassy personnel in Tehran early in November, these 50 men and women—their safety, their health, and their future—have been our central concern. We’ve made every effort to obtain their release on honorable, peaceful, and humanitarian terms, but the Iranians have refused to release them or even to improve the inhumane conditions under which these Americans are being held captive.
The events of the last few days have revealed a new and significant dimension in this matter. The militants controlling the Embassy have stated they are willing to turn the hostages over to the Government of Iran, but the Government has refused to take custody of the American hostages. This lays bare the full responsibility of the Ayatollah Khomeini and the Revolutionary Council for the continued illegal and outrageous holding of the innocent hostages. The Iranian Government can no longer escape full responsibility by hiding behind the militants at the Embassy.
It must be made clear that the failure to release the hostages will involve increasingly heavy costs to Iran and to its interests. I have today ordered the following steps.
First, the United States of America is breaking diplomatic relations with the Government of Iran. The Secretary of State has informed the Government of Iran that its Embassy and consulates in the United States are to be closed immediately. All Iranian diplomatic and consular officials have been declared persona non grata and must leave this country by midnight tomorrow.
Second, the Secretary of the Treasury will put into effect official sanctions prohibiting exports from the United States to Iran, in accordance with the sanctions approved by 10 members of the United Nations Security Council on January 13 in the resolution which was vetoed by the Soviet Union. Although shipment of food and medicine were not included in the U.N. Security Council vote, it is expected that exports even of these items to Iran will be minimal or nonexistent.
Third, the Secretary of Treasury will make a formal inventory of the assets of the Iranian Government, which were frozen by my previous order, and also will make a census or an inventory of the outstanding claims of American citizens and corporations against the Government of Iran. This accounting of claims will aid in designing a program against Iran for the hostages, for the hostage families, and other U.S. claimants. We are now preparing legislation, which will be introduced in the Congress, to facilitate processing and paying of these claims.
Fourth, the Secretary of Treasury [State] and the Attorney General will invalidate all visas issued to Iranian citizens for future entry into the United States, effective today. We will not reissue visas, nor will we issue new visas, except for compelling and proven humanitarian reasons or where the national interest of our own country requires. This directive will be interpreted very strictly.

That fucker fucked me up when I had qualified for the 1980 Moscow Olympics!
Another Pro-Trump read - When did ZH sell out to Trump?
Come to think of it, Trump's hairpiece looks similar to JC's coiffe up above
Have you noticed how many people over the past year or so seem like they found ZH by following Drudge links? There's your answer.
Drudge = Trump, and Trump = page views. ZH is just paying the bills...
Drudge = jewish owned, jewish owned = 'oh nevermind, pointing out factual phenomenon usually just gets you downvoted & shitcanned'
There's a large number here who are stiill caught up in the red team blue team bullshit and defend Drudge as some hero of the right.
They fail to see how he promotes Ziocon stories and talking points.
Remind me the last time Drudge ran a story on Israel's use of white phosphorous.
@McMolotov: Thanks for the info. I was wondering why so many idiot bigots were making the koolaid comments!
uh, is there AYTHING factually incorrect in the story? TRUTH is "pro-trump sellout"?
"Trump is merely proposing to do what Democrat Jimmy Carter did back on April 7, 1980..."
Which is factually incorrect. If Trump were proposing a ban on immigration from Muslim-majority countries, it would basically be the same thing Carter did. As it is, it's like banning all Jews instead of just immigrants from Israel. It might be a case of semantics, but there is a difference.
EDIT: I shouldn't have to point this out to the down-voters, but if Trump had proposed a ban on immigration from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, he would have completely neutered the media and the Dems instead of handing them a talking point, and it would have been the exact same thing Carter did with regard to Iran. But Trump tends to speak first and think second. Some people like that and believe it's a sign of leadership; I tend to believe it's dangerous to be led by one's emotions. Trump doesn't do it as much as Obama (e.g. "The police acted stupidly"), but it's not a trait that inspires confidence.
As an old timer it must be disheartening to throw pearls of logic and reason and liberty before the Trump-voting swine.
Atomic wasted... dementia and incontinence of the bladder, bowel and pie-hole must be a bummer... why not have another rum and Coke and STFU, Gramps?
Not a grandpa and hate rum and coke. Sorry to disappoint you.
Say, why don't you STFU? Nah, don't worry about it, if I say that then I'd be at your 2nd grade level.
Jimbo,
That old timer comment went right over your air filled head.
Maybe you should be the one on dementia watch.
Well, no. There is nothing factually incorrect about this historical event. Nothing.
@nmewn - Is there anything factually incorrect about me saying:?
'oh nevermind, pointing out factual phenomenon usually just gets you downvoted & shitcanned'
Oh FUCK IT... I don't give a FF anymore. The FACT remains that JC fucked me out of my chance to be in the 1980 Moscow Olympics. I most likely wouldn't have won a medal.
I feel bad for my talented friend 'Skeets Neimaya' though.
Here's some good news to cheer you up il Papa.
Dogs of War: British mercenary Colonel Kingston, [+ Aussie, + a bunch of Columbians] reported killed in Yemen
Well, seeing as how it's your words presented on the page in front of me I can say it's factually true that those are your words, yes. And yes, Carter was a blithering idiot in most matters as a President, that is equally true.
Your opinion of him comes from a personal matter, apparently. Mine from a broader sense of his genuine ignorant belief that ever larger bureacracies could ever hope to fulfill one single promise without screwing something else up.
I suppose it's statist job security ;-)
@nmewn ~ Thanks for the reply (at least). I'm not blaming YOU for all this, & YES, my opinion of Carter comes from personal experience.
Maybe Hilary actually had it right "WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE"?... When you're 'Marie Antoinette', things don't make much of a difference... But in fact, 35 years later, it doesn't make much of a difference to me anymore either... My life took a different path, & I don't necessarily regret it...
OTOH ~ I never did anything personally to fuck up JC's life, or Hilary's, or even any jew or other ad hoc person that I know of except, perhaps for a heartbroken female or two (which I truly regret in the aftermath for, at minimum, kindness sake).
So, you'll pardon me for the colossal gall in making qualitative &/or 'truthful' statements - f_s
Sincerely,
The Pope
Not at all, we're cool Pope, you asked me for a response and thats all I could truthfully give not knowing anything about your particulars.
Yeah the elites (whether in .gov or private) seem to think they always have the correct answers but when we peel the layers back we find what it is at their core, not altruism or genuine compassion.
Just rot.
And they walk around in a daze blubbering about why everyone below them is so cynical...lol.
Why any of these people think that Trump (or anyone else) would be any different is beyond me???
FFS (below), there appear to be people reading this that still think they have 'Constitutional Rights' & don't understand that the United States of America is a corporation, not a country.
But FOR SURE... Truth telling Donald Trump is gonna level with them & 'fix' all o that! - lol (Matt Drudge just 'FORGOT' to mention it, I'm sure. After all, it's Friday, he was probably at Temple)...
Is it impossible for misanthropes to offer their solution?
So much bitching with nary an alternative given.
nmewn: There is nothing factually incorrect about this historical event. Nothing.
However, Jimmy Carter forgot to tell you this:
…. Under such pressures, my own university, MIT, made a deal with the Shah to admit Iranian students to the nuclear engineering program in return for grants he offered and over the strong objections of the student body, but with comparably strong faculty support…..
http://inthesetimes.com/article/18330/iran-is-not-the-gravest-threat-to-world-peace
Drudge points here? No wonder the quality of ZH has gone straight down the shitter.
Because Queen "love and kindness" Cankles and Bernie "feel the Bern" Sanders can't troll the media like Trump can?
there's not a peep about this in the socialist democrat jew run media.
I'm sure they mentioned it 35 years ago - when it was news.
NPR spent three hours bashing Trump this after noon and not 1 minute describing Barry's failed dometic policy, disastrous foreign policy or Barry's Obamacare destruction of the middle class.
Not a peep about the cold-blooded massacre of Parisians or San Bernardinians and not a second devoted to their funerals.
That's odd.
Damn, not sure how you could sit through 3 hours of taxpayer funded, soma-entranced prog-whites bashing non-prog-whites.
In the government workplace, where most workers are soulless drones with zero personality and music is deemed 'divisive' (go figure), your only listening choices are between Rush Limbaugh, NPR, or silence. Unfortunately, silence rarely carries the day.
Silence is good for the soul.
That was back before protecting America and it's borders was Rayciss..........
It has nothing to do with being Racist. Race isnt the issue, it has to do with Religion. There is a difference. Muslins come in all colors....
That's what I said.........
I hope everyone has read the Quran. It is not friendly toward anyone who doesnt believe their bullshit (covert or die)Its pretty clear and this is ALL about Religion and not a specific race, not sure why the confusion. Please read it and dont be a moron. I read it and it scares the shit out of my. I went to Cabelas to bulk up since as Public Enemy once wrote a song..... "911 is a joke".
As it goes... "911 is a joke in my town, I could call a cab, that would be quicker...."
OK, clearly you've read the entire Koran, right? Please let us know. I don't mean the Cliffs Notes either.
Have you read the Bible much? It doesn't seem friendly toward anyone who doesn't believe its bullshit.
Coffee is for closers.
Is this before or after Bubba Trump said let Russia handle ISIS? I know we are on 'bomb the hell out of them " week.
Barbaric! Antisemitic. Er... Anti-Persian!

I say we ban all left handed African-American mullatos with questionable birth certificates and obfuscated college transcripts that may show they listed themselves as foreign students in order to receive student aid.
but... but what if they stand for 'Hope & Change', have a Peace Prize, give out free bammyfones, pay your gas & mortgage, & 'putt from the rough'?
Careful. You might exempt all his clones.
Here is a little nugget of info for all you batshit crazy Liberal asshats out there; People who are not U.S. Citizens are not entitled to, or protected by, United States Constitutional rights......
People not US citizens who are in the US are entitled to due process, free speech worship, press, association, privacy.
If they are not citizens and not in the US, then they in another jurisdiction.
Here's a little nugget of info for all you batshit crazy people who think you have Constitutional Rights... You unwittingly volunteer yourself as a subject of MARITIME LAW (which is why you see the yellow fringes on all the American flags in courthouses & government buildings).
SHIVER ME TIMBERS!!!
Theres no yellow fringe on the Confederate flag.
Lets bring that one back!
The CSA Constitution was actually a significant improvement over the USA Constitution that existed prior to the war of Northern Aggression.
The side-by-side-comparison should be mandatory reading at the primary and secondary school levels, but since that might make the untermenschen heads explode...
the commentary in the link is Statist propaganda, but the highlighted changes read like a Rinse, Repeat laundry list of crap that still hasn't been fixed like;
the Federal Reserve monopoly on the money supply,
sitting Presidents are not allowed to run for reelection,
State Sovereignty and the State power of impeachment over Federal officials,
Reduction in civil service/patronage job protections
Super majorities for tax increases AND federal spending
Line veto of spending appropriations,
Structural restraints on pork barrel spending,
Mandating a profitable post office,
Bannrd the importation of "negroes of the African race from any foreign country", (THEY PROBABLY DON'T TEACH THAT DETAIL TODAY)
Outlawed "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it" along with EARMARKS, and inserting FATCA into a "jobs" bill...
@JATA ~ ur right about that!
OMG THE US IS FLOATING BETWEEN THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND ATLANTIC OCEAN SO WE ARE AT SEA AND MARITIME LAW APPLIES!
I love the circular non-disprovable logic of the maritime law/state citizen types - who I knew would show up here sooner or later. See, only they are smart enough to understand about the yellow fringe and maritime law! If you go to a lawyer and the lawyer looks at you funny and says, no, you are more nuts than a silo full of almonds, no problem! TEH LAWYERS ARE ALL PART OF THE CONSPIRACY! Every last one, regardless of where they went to school or how smart they are. That's how insidious the plot is.
See, you can never disprove the maritime law yellow fringe folks. In a way I find that endearing, kind of like Scientologists. Don't like L Ron? YOU HAVE ENTHETA! In a strange kind of way it must be nice to have that level of certainty in something, even if it is completely and utterly wrong.
I have a question for you. If the Constitution enumerates natural rights, wihich it does, can a natural right be subverted by an imaginary line or border? I think you mean that non-citizens aren't protected by U.S. law as it relates to citizenship. It is a very important difference to those that value freedom.
The Constitution is a document in which restrictions on the U.S. government are enumerated, not restrictions on people, U.S. citizens or otherwise. Non-citizens are not entitled to remedies under U.S. law but are still protected by restrictions placed on US government.
For example, the Feds can't just grab some random green card holder and torture him for the fun of it bc the government is committing a crime. They can deport his ass and refuse entry at the border and he has no standing to appeal, unlike a U.S. citizen who can't be refused entry.
...and one of the very few powers actually delegated to the federal government is regulating immigration. So that's not a valid Constiutional objection in this case.
I'm in complete agreement.
Could have been the only thing he did as President that I agreed with. However, the fireside chat he did telling us to turn down our thermostats and driving slower during the 1970s Saudi energy rape was kind of cute.

To this day these same types of control freaks are telling us to put on sweaters and shit instead of being happy and comfortable. The loony cult of Climate Changists will never shut up.
I don't remeber anyone calling Jimmy Carter things like Hitler, Authoritarian, Racist or Fascist.
All I remeber anyone calling him was a "God Damn Pussy".
Times they are a changin.
well, now reggie calls b hussein 'damn good pussy'
Carter would make a much better choice for Prez. than Sanders or Clinton TODAY.
So would an old, worn-out La-Z-Boy recliner.
Not presently being a two term Prez. in office means that Carter is not legally barred from office, he does indeed have the experience, and is probably the only actual functioning Christian to have held the office who is still breathing...
IF it was a choice between Bernie, Hillary and Jimmy: I'd pick Jimmy without hesitation.
He has no power base; but, is beholden to no special interests as are Bernie and Hillary.
He doesn't have to spend dime one, does not have to campaign at all; -he only has to be nominated at the convention and put on or written onto the ballots..
Our intent was to bash Hil and Bern, not Jimmah. Hell, we would take BILLY Carter over most of these clowns.
And also a much better Prez than Chump.
Amazing the spin they put on things these day..
Is there any precedent for us bombing the hell out of a country while simultaneously taking in large numbers of their refugees? Were we accepting people from Nagasaki while we nuked their asses? I know we have often evacuated our assets but this is crazy.
Thankfully, most of them got vaporized. Their dads and husbands were raping and torturing Brits, Americans, Koreans, Phillipinos and Chinese. Too bad Merica ran out of fissionable fuel to make more nukes. Japan shouldn't be inhabitable today.
I feel that way about the Japs as well but after discovering what a pile of rubbish we were sold about the EVIL EVIL Germans I'm no longer sure about anything from that time.
Carters targeting of a specific country is a tiny bit different than a blanket ban on all Muslims no matter where they come from.
I wouldnt actually expect a trump supporter to get the distinction though.
Wrong.
Trump will probably amend his statement at some point to target the ban at specific countries, and that would be perfectly acceptable.
Trying to start a list of friendly Muslim countries.
UAE
And...
Feel free to add!
Until this list gets long and healthy, a ban on all Muslim immigration until proper vetting can be accomplished is a lot like exporting the Iranians.
Get out till you can show me value and quality worthy of admission.
Bye!!
And you should spend a bit more time perusing the CFR.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1182
Thanks for proving me right guys. i didnt state whether i thought Trump was right or wrong, i simply said the two situations were not the same.
So not only are Trump supporters unable to see "subtle" differences, their comprehension skills are very poor as well.
>their comprehension skills are very poor as well.
Ahhh, when having already lost the argument, resort to insults...
In a written statement late Monday afternoon, the Trump campaign said the Republican frontrunner wanted a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.”
It would appear that your reading comprehension stops well before the length of Twitter's character count...
I would encourage you to keep your head down as long as any comments you make will draw lots of flaming down votes. But with a name like "The Persistant" you probably won't heed my sage advice.
Being downvoted in 2011 Fight Club would have been a cause for shame.
Being downvoted in the Nazi cesspool that is 2015 Fight Club is a badge of honor.
I don't recall it even being possible to down-vote someone in the 2011 fight club (at least for the first 3/4 of the year).
Given that Chump himself is far from subtle, the only subtlety that a Chumpian can perceive is the degree of being anti-Muslim and anti-liberty. "Subtle differences" will be written off by such people as effete intellectualism, rather than the rule of law. The only law they care about is power, and asserting that power against "them."
Make it so
We don't have enough jobs, there are too few in the work force, too many on EBT and things are blowing up everywhere. The corporations will just have to deal with the amount of slave labor they have at present and the wages they are paying or, gawd forbid, educate their own employees or pay a couple more bucks an hour... close that fucker.
This place isn't a homeless shelter/soup kitchen and if it used to be... we changed our damn minds.
First Muzzie I'd have banned and deported is that shitbag Screwy Louie Farrakhan. His rhetoric incites violence and is rayciss as it gets. But ol Barry the butt fucker doesn't here nuffins.
The mooslime in the whitehouse needs to go A-fucking-SAP!!!
For the record I tried!
Iran- a country
Islam- a religion
A country does not equal a religion.
I am a proud Jew.
The problem with your logic sir is that Iran, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and name any middle eastern cuntry is populated by a majority of Muslims. In such case it wouldn't matter if one were to clarify because the perps are Lizzie's from whatever cuntry it is.
Just saying.
A proud Jew? Define proud please? You mean like the proud boil on my ass?
Senator Elison Durant Smith on the 1924 immigration cut-off (Johnson-Reed Act). The purpose of this act was to "Americanize" the existing population, especially because Eastern Europeans were trying to Bolshevize the U.S. Starting around 1880 Polish and Pale of the Settlement Jews immigrated in large numbers. They pretended to be Polish "Christians" in typical Crypto behavior. This indigestible element stuck in the craw of then Americans.
It is time for another immigration cut-off, targeting both legal and illegals:
http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/5080
It is of greater concern to us to maintain the institutions of America, to maintain the principles upon which this Government is founded, than to develop and exploit the underdeveloped resources of the country. There are some things that are dearer to us, fraught with more benefit to us, than the immediate development of the undeveloped resources of the country. I believe that our particular ideas, social, moral, religious, and political, have demonstrated, by virtue of the progress we have made and the character of people that we are, that we have the highest ideals of any member of the human family or any nation. We have demonstrated the fact that the human family, certainty the predominant breed in America, can govern themselves by a direct government of the people. If this Government shall fail, it shall fail by virtue of the terrible law of inherited tendency. Those who come from the nations which from time immemorial have been under the dictation of a master fall more easily by the law of inheritance and the inertia of habit into a condition of political servitude than the descendants of those who cleared the forests, conquered the savage, stood at arms and won their liberty from their mother country, England.
Seems logical to me, but back then people were somewhat educated, today's liberal is a disgusting, hate filled , uneducated, loser who hates America and all it stand for. Collecting welfare, food stamps , EBT and so on, these excrement on society prefer the free shit over actually being a productive citizen, therefore thry hate thier lives and hate the truth.
Carter, you humanitarian you.
Let me summarize:
It's perfectly fine if FD Roosevelt (D) bans Germans, Japanese, Austrians and Italians, then jails nearly all of the Japanese and some pesky Germans and Italians.
It's perfectly fine if H Truman (D) nukes Japan after they've lost the war.
It's perfectly fine if Truman (D) bans people from communist countries.
It's perfectly fine if Kennedy (D) and Johnson (D) invade Vietnam and kill a few million people.
It's perfectly fine if Carter (D) bans Iranians, rounds up those here and deports them.
It's perfectly fine if Clinton (D) embargoes Iraq resulting in a half million dead.
It's perfectly fine if Obama (D) wages war against seven assorted countries, crushing their institutions and infrastructure, killing hundreds of thousands and turning millions into economic refugees.
But it's not fine if someone merely suggests we consider temporarily banning Islamics until Obama's mess is cleaned up.
Apples and Oranges. We weren't actively bombing Iran at that time. The hostages were at the US embassy.

I miss Billybeer
Who exactly fomented this crisis and I would like to remind everyone of The October Surprise...
Don't forget how the stage was set before Carter:
In 1951, Mohammad Mosaddegh was elected as the prime minister. He became enormously popular in Iran, after he nationalized Iran's petroleum industry and oil reserves. He was deposed in the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, an Anglo-American covert operation that marked the first time the US had overthrown a foreign government during the Cold War.
After the coup, the Shah became increasingly autocratic and sultanistic, and Iran entered a phase of decades long controversial close relations with the United States and some other foreign governments. While the Shah increasingly modernized Iran and claimed to retain it as a fully secular state, arbitrary arrests and torture by his secret police, the SAVAK, were used to crush all forms of political opposition."
Which goes to prove how absolutely short liberals memory powers are. Most of them can't even remember how many times they voted for Obama.
Amazing, Some People talk negative and hateful about the U.S and yet those same people either live here or want to come here....I say either leave or don't come.....Fix your own Country....
Whatever...TRUMP/CRUZ 2016
Never happen. Trump will ask to see Cruz's birth certificate first.
Zing!
IMHO, Cruz WILL NOT be on the ticket.
Neither with or without Trump.
Trump will take Bush lite in order to secure MIC/spook apparatus support if he is forced to...
...& (neo)Goldmanites will continue to dominate Treasury and other monetary/economic fiefdoms regardless of Trump/no Trump.
I joined the US Navy in August of 1980. I graduated boot camp on Reagan's inaugeration day. I was then sent to my first duty station, where I received my first training and met many foreign sailors who were being trained in my rate, including Iranians...
Don't be fooled by the Bullshit...
A little bit trivial compared Trumps idea of banning 25% of the worlds population.
and yet you have a problem with this?
I am all out of "I love the NWO" bumperstickers at the moment, otherwise I would send you one.
You're quite a taxing individual really, aren't you? Aren't you making the assumption that I know what you are talking about when you throw around terms like "New Word Order"? Baffling really. Could you explain it to me?
This is easily doable as a specific country, not as a religion.
It's convenient for you to ignore half of the argument.
Trump also argued that he was "right" based on the actions of FDR.
Let's get it straight - FDR jailed AMERICAN CITIZENS with no evidence that there was any wrongdoing or betrayal. Japanese-Americans were rounded up and thrown into Internment camps under very bad conditions. Their families were broken up, they lost all of their possessions. They were guilty of NO WRONG.
While these people were interned, some of their sons were fighting FOR AMERICA in WW2 in Europe. Lots of them died. Try looking up the 442'nd US Army Unit and their battles in WW2. That was one of the most highly decorated units in the entire US Army.
I'd like to hope that America learned something from that experience.
Clealy Donald Trump has learned nothing from it.
But those soldiers in the 442 could teach him some real lessons - about loyalty and patriotism.
Let me use small words here.
In the past, the US has been at war and in conflict with countries. During such wars and conflicts, the US has denied entry to citizens of those countries. The US has also told citizens of those countries who are within the US to leave. These immigration rules were on a per-country basis. The US was at war with Country X. Citizens of Country X were restricted as to US travel.
Understand so far?
Trump wants to deny entry into the US to people from anywhere on Earth - allies, neutral countries, even other Americans - based _only_ on their religion.
If you can't see the difference, then you must be a product of US public schools.
"until we figure it out". I remember that. Until.we.figure.it.out. That makes a difference.
Figure what out? Chump never gives specifics on anything. He wants to "figure things out." What things? How?
He'll never say because he has no plan. He just wants to fan the flames of anti-Muslim hate of his base.
Hey, how about this: I want to stop all gun sales. Just until we figure things out. How is that any different from what Trump is saying?
You downvote because you don't know what "things" or what to "figure out" either. And you don't care, as long as they throw out the "muzzies." Admit it.
Who downvoted you? Not me. That's perfectly fine you said that. That's what this place is for. But I saw where Sweden was ready to deport quite a few people, then they just "disappeared". It's reasonable to come up with a better vetting and tracking system. France sure didn't have one in place. I don't like having to give up my freedom and liberty from the actions of others who don't follow the law. You mentioned guns. But the constitution spells out something about that. it's not as clear about immigration. That's something that Congress should do, with the input of the American people, who they represent. No, I don't want another pen and phone president, either. I don't think half of what Trump says he'd do. You could probably find out about that just talking to his kids.
Most of the 911 hijackers came from our "ally" Saudi Arabia, so your point is??? If the other Muslim countries are worried about these refugees, then why are they not taking ANY of them in? *crickets* Fuck them, their beliefs, their backward lifestyle, and the camel they rode in on. Stay in your own 3rd world shithole and and continue to stone your women to death. I could care less if every Syrian refugee starves to death.
Nothing you said negates my point. US public school grad!
And yet you'll whine your bitch ass off when no country is willing to accept you as a refugee after the WWIII devastation wrought on the US in the Trump or Clinton years. "Wahh, why won't they take me, they don't care if I starve to death!" And you will be too stupid to make any kind of connection between your attitude today and theirs in the future. How do I know? I am John Titor.
Nah, just fucking with you. I'm not John Titor.
Or am I?
Yes small words.
Islam is a political system, not a religion.
It is a system that states that should you decide to no longer be part of it, you must be killed.
It is a system that states that girls of 6 years of ge may be married.
It is a system that demands its followers expand it and that all peoples of the world must submit to it.
Squid
Islam is not a religion. It defines a theocracy, a system of government. And you have a valid point, because if a Muslim is just a kind person, who would not want to hurt anybody, and I'm sure most are, they are in violation of their own religion that expects what is written down. So a Muslim is not doing this, he is in violation. Not a pleasant place to be for a pleasant, peaceful person.
Looks like the video got pulled. At least for me. Just a blank window.
San Diego State, 1978... around 40 Iranian students in a hallway... males only... (they fear women) the stench was so overpowering that you couldn't breathe. they are toxic lice... a cancerous breed of wild pig. Allahoo FUBAR!!
he was good for the craft beer industry, passed some law that lifted some band and boom ipa for everyone.
TRUMP SHOW ME YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE
He was born in Scotland and raised by a haggis.
Iran is a coutry, Islam is a religion. It is not the same. Carter did it to pressure the Iranian government. Trump is doing it because racism sells.
Islam is a political system, not a religion or a race.

Perhaps you could enlighten us as to where Islam Parliament is, or who Islam President is, then. I am sure ZHers would send them some strongly worded letters.
I'm waiting.
Same place the Saudi parliament is.

Book reading: Deception: by Adrian Levy and Cathy Scott-Clark (must read/ jmo)
Good stuff thanks.
That was before political correctness destroyed the US.
Trump just said israel is supplying isis with money and guns - all bets are off now
Trump is The Man.
do u have a link for that info.............
is that why he cancelled his meeting with bibi????
One of the two things Carter did that I agree with. The other was signing the law making home brewing of beer legal.
In Iran the "students" were the activists that overthrown the Shah regime and supported the new government, hence government refused to intervene. How this has anything to to do with Syria. Assad was against the terrorists and defended American Embassy in Damascus against terrorist attacks.
Syrians, Iraqi, Turks so Saudis, Qatari etc., potential members of ISIL should be comprehensively investigated before admission to US that's all. He is not calling for banning Saudis.
Trump is ignorant of world affairs, able to produce only incoherent utterances about something he has no idea about, like a child or retard who can get away with anything.
This celebration of ignorance, stupidity, intellectual deficiency was what Hitler promoted by burning books and sending to critics concentration camps or worse.
Trump has a dangerous mind of adolescence who was never told no.
I wonder how will his supporters react when he tells them to fuck themselves, in his edgy style.Would they fuck themselves as they were told by this clown?
To learn something about Syrian war Trump should at least this read this:

It seems to me that semitic races in general are the biggest problem over and over again.
Typical american, totaly igonorat. Iranians are not Semitic
I am not a Merican and I absolutely havent had Iranians in mind at all.
then your comment here is pointless
I rarely post comments.However the recent wave of xenophobia in my adopted country,to which I swore loyalty, appalls me.This is what Renee Magritte called the human condition.By now, if the intelligent minority in america do not comprehend what is really going on, we are doomed.Muzzies are an annoyance, a pest.They are not the major threats that our nation faces.Without bothering to know TPTB who fanned the shai-sunni schism, created muslim brotherhood any similar organizations and Albert pike,s master plan,the majority of posts, even by those whose intellect I admire is smiple fearmongering and Islamophobia.I truly am appalled when I ponder the fate of my adopted country.Sadly, I have no where else to go.So go ahead and downvote me.
