Trump's Bigotry at its Worst http://www.arabnews.com/columns/news/848226 written by

I am furious at the hypocrisy of this Saudi writer scolding a country where he has had the freedom to come and go across its borders and take advantage of our schools and lifestyle his entire life, while we cannot enter his closed society because we are infidels! They are the most bigoted against those of other religions, against the black race, against women, and let's not forget homosexuals. Their bigotry often leads to life and death situations for these individuals. Yet this writer wants to school us on what he believes is our moral obligation while under constant attack by Muslims?
Trump does not want to rid the country of Latinos. That is a ridiculous statement. He wants to protect our borders from those who want to come into our country ILLEGALLY. It just so happens that the Mexican border is our most porous. Trump does not want to rid the country of Muslims. He is just saying let's stop immigration of Muslims, especially this large scale influx that we are currently experiencing from countries who hate us, who have pledged to kill us and who in fact are attacking us almost on a daily basis, until we can figure out how to stop these attacks. This is basic national security. Look at Saudi Arabia's own immigration policy. Islam has declared war on the US, from large organizations down to the individuals who decide to act on a military base or a Christmas party. At some point we have the moral right to take a look at what we need to do to protect ourselves.
Inciting violence against innocent Muslims? Where? When? Even though Muslims have savagely murdered many...I have yet to hear of a retaliation of violence against innocent Muslims. That's rhetoric intended to make Muslims the victims instead of the attackers and enablers of the attackers. If it did happen I would be appalled and loudly denounce it, unlike our Muslim population who say or do little to nothing to decry the violence done in the name of Islam.
I know this writer, and decades ago I considered him a friend, but I am livid about this outrageous article. I am undecided on my vote for president, but if Trump is giving notice to our enemies that we will not tolerate these attacks and they are taking note...maybe Trump is who we need in the WH.

Obama the Man-Child vs Netanyahu the Statesman
I read that this will be the first time in the 66-year history of US-Israeli relations that the White House doors will be closed to a visiting Prime Minister of Israel. Although I am pretty sure that Obama has done this before, it has only been this president. It is not because we have never had an administration that was in disagreement with Israel. There have been others. It is because of the temperament and ego of Barak Hussein Obama and his administration. It is because of his narcissistic influence on a small band of Democrats that this controversy over Netanyahu's visit to Congress has evolved into tabloid-like reporting on The Real Lives of the DC Egos.
As I listened to Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech at AIPAC today, I could not help but feel that I was listening to a historic speech by a noble leader in love with his country. It is such a contrast to the childish and petulant speeches that we hear from our man-child president who always has an axe to grind, not with our enemies, but with the American people (Republicans, TEA Party, Christians, border agents, governors, policeman, the military, etc.) and with our allies (most prominently Israel).
Building up to Netanyahu's visit to Congress, Obama and some members of Congress have had non-stop propaganda flooding the MSM voicing their opposition to his speech to Congress. We have been told that the main reason for their objection is Netanyahu's break in protocol...bad manners. To say that this is disingenuous would be a huge understatement. This is coming from an administration that has broken all protocol, dismissing our Constitution as obsolete, ignoring the rulings of judges, and more often than not, entirely bypassing our Legislative Branch of government.
The second reason given is that Obama and some Democrats feel that this will be providing a "soapbox to attack Obama's efforts to reach a nuclear deal with Iran." This is closer to the truth. Obama has had round-the-clock MSM reporting and promoting of his negotiations with Iran, so why shouldn't Netanyahu, most members of Congress, and the American people have a chance to report and promote the alternative? There are two very different approaches to the nuclear Iran problem:
1. Obama:
As I listened to Netanyahu's AIPAC speech, I also noticed a completely different tone to what has been coming out of the White House. From the White House we have been hearing words that indicate ego, like: livid, disrespect, broken protocol, inappropriate, snubs, insinuated, offended, infuriated, undermining, and thumb-in-the-eye. Also from the White House words of egotistic retaliation, like: destructive, snubbing, boycotting, accusing, and threatening. This is all a reflection of the egotistical man-child in charge.
Netanyahu, in contrast, used words like alliance, support, gratitude, respect, bipartisan, moral obligation, ally, friend, family (of the US), liberty, equality, justice, tolerance, vulnerability (of Israel), and most poignant...survival.
Netanyahu spoke of his respect and gratitude towards Obama for security cooperation, intelligence sharing, support at the UN, and "much more that I cannot divulge". He even went further and almost scolded Obama's detractors by adding "and so should you". That is gracious dignity. It's been along time since Americans have experienced graciousness and dignity from a leader.
The Democrats and the MSM accused Netanyahu of inserting himself and Israel into US party politics. Of course, this was followed by an announcement that some Democrats would be boycotting his speech to Congress and an invitation to a Democrat-only meeting. Who really was trying to make this a partisan stunt? Netanyahu dispelled that accusation by first thanking both Democrats and Republicans for their support. He then made it very clear that "support for Israel has always been bipartisan and must always remain bipartisan".
Netanyahu stated that his one and only reason to speak in front of the US Congress is "to speak up about a potential deal with Iran that could threaten the very survival of Israel." That may be hard for many Americans to believe or understand. We have never had to worry about the survival of our country. He said that he has a moral obligation as the prime minister of Israel to speak up in the face of these dangers while there is still time. Everybody has to understand that, right?
He said that Iran is the foremost state sponsor of terrorism in the world creating, arming, and dispatching terrorists to five continents, "enveloping the entire world with its tentacles of terrorism." This is what they do now without nuclear capability. Iran has vowed to annihilate Israel, and with a nuclear capability they would have the means to achieve that goal. "WE MUST NOT LET THAT HAPPEN!"
He spoke of the history of the Jewish people and how they have been passive, persecuted, stateless, defenseless, voiceless, and powerless against enemies that swore to destroy them. "NO MORE! THOSE DAYS ARE OVER! WE WILL DEFEND OURSELVES! He said that today they are no longer silent. "TODAY WE HAVE A VOICE!" He said, "Tomorrow I plan to use that voice."
All that remains to be seen is how the man-child and his bullies will respond to this speech. Will they be so loyal to their infantile leader as to not show up at the playground tomorrow? If they continue their petty campaign against Netanyahu's right to speak for the survival of his country...maybe the country and the entire world will surely see him for what he is...finally.

- Negotiate with Iran
- Nuclear freeze in Iran for 10 years before they would be allowed to build a nuclear bombs
- More sanctions against Iran (no negotiations)
- No nuclear Iran, not now not ever.
