Discussion: Trump Surrogate: WWII Internment Camps A ‘Precedent’ For Muslim Registry (VIDEO)

Can this get even worse? And the douchbag just smiled when Kelly called him out on the fascist idea of re-establishing internment camps in this country. That’s one sociopathic monster right there, I tell you.

Oh, and BTW, it’s Navy SEAL, not Navy Seal. It stands for “Sea, Air, and Land” teams.

Someone, ala Clockwork Orange, force this man to watch The Siege. Very good movie, I thought. Maybe make him think about how internment camps didn’t work and violated people’s rights. Besides, the bulk of the terrorist attacks in the US have been perpetrated by white Conservative men. Maybe we should start rounding them up too.

Yes, of COURSE they are talking about internment camps. Start with just a registry. Then move to a probationary system where people have to report in on a regular basis, explaining what they’ve been up to. Then just move them to somewhere “safe” for them and us. Each step is just a little bit easier to do once the public has accepted the prior step.

Here we are. They are telling you exactly what they plan to do, just like the Nazis did in the 1930s. Are we going to bury our heads, and hope it doesn’t happen, with the eventual same results?
The existence of America as we know it is now hanging in the balance. And it’s up to all right-minded people, not just those who opposed Trump in the election, to stand up for America.

But then, it’s not really about solutions to anything, is it?

’ immigrants and visitors from countries with active extremist organizations.’

Does that include the NRA/Ireland? Will Bono be on the list?

If John Lennon was alive, I ‘imagine’ he would make it on the list somehow.

I would like to hear George Takei’s opinion on this.

I’m much more worried about homegrown terrorists. The militia, the paranoid anti-government movement, the KKK, and the Arian Nation, have killed more American citizens since 9/11 than radical Islamists. Only one report disputes this, that being a right-wing report, but they cite only 2 more deaths attributed to Islamists. Just look at the rhetoric and assaults they have committed since the election. Wake up America, we are under attack from radical Islamists, they say. No, we are under attack from within.

That is my nightmare…

(1) Bernie people still carping
(2) Sleepy Sheeple not even aware of all of this
(3) MSM ghouls on the take
(4) Trump racists emboldened and on the warpath

ALL of these are divergent from our values and common sense…to wit

(1) In a party Primary, it behooves members of that Party to vote for the winner of that Primary, especially when that winner’s views ALINE MORE WITH THE PRIMARY LOSER THAN THE OPPONENT OF THE OTHER PARTY

(2) It is the duty and right to participate in the political process

(3) The Fourth Estate is vital to a free society

(4) All humans are created equal

Yes, and Auschwitz set a couple of precedents too. What’s your point, Mr. Trumpnazi?

This registry idea needs explaining. Trump wants to draw up a list of nations that have a demonstrable problem with terrorism. Is that interior terrorism, or terrorism that’s exported, or both? If it’s internal does it matter if it’s perpetrated upon internal factions we also don’t approve of, or only internal terrorism perpetrated upon people we sympathize with and support? How about external? If Syrian terrorists blow up Iranian terrorists is that good or bad in the eyes of the U.S.? Does it still get Syria on the terrorists list, despite their exported terrorism not being aimed at the U.S. or U.S. allies?
Also, what about people entering the U.S. subject to the registry? Does David Johnson, a Christian, that somehow, hypothetically, is a citizen of Syria, get put on the registry when entering the U.S.? Yet Ahmed Muhammed, a Muslim from Canada, not get put on the registry? I’'m not saying Ahmed should, but certainly in Trump’s mind Ahmed represents a bigger threat, or at least a bigger unknown, than Mr. Johnson, twisted as that thought process may be.
Also, only three nations currently are listed by the State Department as state sponsors of terrorism. Does that list have to be expanded to accommodate the registry’s goals? The U.S. deliberately uses this label very sparingly to keep open diplomatic, military and trade options, among other things. If Trump’s goal is to monitor people coming to the U.S. in greater numbers, and saying they come from terrorist sponsoring nations is the reason for the registry, it seems this list of three nations would have to grow to include several more. Would those nations be eligible to contest being put on the list? Would being put on the list mean all the restrictions on corporations in place now prohibiting various transactions with such states grow to include those new states on the list?
Is anybody asking these damned questions? I certainly don’t hear news organizations, or Democrat politicians, posing much or any of the above to the Trump team, or their surrogates. WTF?

They do realize that America has officially apologized for those camps and actually has paid reparations to those interred, RIGHT?

“until we can identify the true threat…”

The “true” threat is not potential violence from some misguided asshole, it is the corruption of our core values. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” A core part of our American values is freedom of religion and any system that denies essential liberty based on religion or ideology is antithetical to those values. You can argue “It is Constitutional” all day long. So was slavery, until is wasn’t. If you truly want to “protect” the American public, do something about the 10,000 people each year that are killed by drunk drivers, or the 30,000 that die by gun violence (including suicide), or the 23,000 infant deaths each year. In 2015, toddlers were responsible for more deaths in the US than were foreign terrorists. I understand that politicians make themselves seem important by peddling fear, but in this case the American public needs to arm itself with information, not some counter-productive, immoral, knee-jerk response.

I wonder if this gung ho republican is aware that St. Ronny signed into law the Civil Liberties Act, which apoligized for the internment camps and paid out $1.6 billion to the survivors and heirs.

Yes. Ronald Reagan apologized for those actions, which were determined by a Presidential Commission to be based, not upon threats, but rather by racism.

All part of the Obama apology tour that has burdened right-thinking white Real Americans with an unbearable burden of shaming.
