How To Live Under An Unqualified President by John Piper

Sometimes facts need context. During the cold war, a Russian announcer reported the results of a race. The Russians came in second and the Americans came in - next to last. True story, folks. What the announcer left out - is this: There were only 2 countries in the race - Russia and the US. :smiley:

Sounds like CNN! :laughing:

Now that I reflect upon it
I think it’s a good thing, that Trump got elected. He has set a precedent. He has shown that anyone, can do the job of president. As long as they sometimes listen, to their team of advisers.

And it widens the list of potential Democratic and Republican candidates - for future US presidential runs.

I can envision folks like Jerry Seinfeld, Stephen Colbert, Rush Limbaugh, Howard Stern, and other noted namesakes
being recruited by the Republican and Democratic circuits
for future presidential runs. :smiley:

"President Trump responded to the latest Islamic terror attack in the United Kingdom by proposing common sense migration reform. He urged an end to political correctness but as London and Manchester and Paris and Cologne and so many other Islamic atrocities show us, our elites would rather be politically correct than live.

Certainly they are always willing to choose political correctness over our own lives. That is the dark road that brings us to London Bridge and brings us to the Manchester Arena and brings us to every single act of Islamic terrorism including September 11.

The media’s smug condescension and its hollow assurances, the calls by politicians to go back to shopping and go back to attending concerts, go back to the nightlife and don’t worry until the next stabbing, shooting and bombing rampage begins are sadly familiar.

It’s a call for the people of a dying West to go back to being Eloi.

Real leadership doesn’t mean lying to people until they die and perish of your lies. When President Trump calls for an end to political correctness and a serious conversation about the threat that we face, that is real leadership.

The hard truth is that we can either be politically correct or we can survive. We can’t do both."

Well, Dave, Trump shall soon have his current migration policy, heard by the supreme court. Let’s see how that plays out.

I’m not sure how suffocated ISIS and related groups are. But I’m sure countries like the US, Europe, China, Israel, Russia, etc
can forge passports, create false histories, etc. And get the wrong person in - through the **right ** channels.

Or they recruit innocents - with no criminal record. The spy agencies to spy; the terrorist agencies, to commit acts of terror.

Hopefully, IRIS and related groups, are not as sophisticated - as our spy agencies, around the developed world. Otherwise, a migration policy - in and of itself - just won’t cut the mustard.

There’s no way to stop 100% of terrorists. I hope we do the best we can and this is a step, at least, in the right direction.

Thanks to Obama et al, we’ve already let in hundreds - or more - terrorists because of our damned PC culture.

Well, Dave, Trump shall soon have his current migration policy, heard by the supreme court. Let’s see how that plays out.

The law specifically states the President can do this travel ban. The courts have decided so far that it is a Muslim ban so it’s discriminatory. But the rub is that if we really want to stop this terrorism or at least limit it, we have to acknowledge reality and accept that almost all terrorists are muslims and with good reason, their holy books command it. So to limit terrorism, unfortunately the President has to discriminate to be effective, sad but true.

Maybe, in the US. But it depends on the group and country. In Columbia - for example - it was the rebels (who were not Muslim). So the correct statement should read: all Muslim terrorists are Muslim. But not all Muslims are terrorists. Many like western values and culture.and some like reformation. But they have to approach reformation with caution. For example. I saw a program on the Booze Traveler - going to Turkey. And he was in a party, with alcohol and Muslims. Certainly, you don’t mix the two. But these Muslims were doing just that.

Right. We have seem to have forgotten the use of ‘discriminate’ as it was used pre-PC. I think the focus should be on using definition 1, PC culture uses definition 2. Both are valid definitions, but the usage is NOT interchangeable.

Origin
Early 17th century: from Latin discriminat- ‘distinguished between’, from the verb discriminare, from discrimen ‘distinction’, from the verb discernere (see discern)

  1. Recognize a distinction; differentiate.
    ‘babies can discriminate between different facial expressions’

1.1 Perceive or constitute the difference in or between.
‘features that discriminate this species from other gastropods’

Make an unjust or prejudicial distinction in the treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, sex, or age.
‘existing employment policies discriminate against women’
.

Mayhap western Man is in this condition?

Of course if you traverse the world you can find other terrorists here and there who are not muslim like in the Congo you had “The Lord’s army” and as you mentioned in Columbia you had “FARC” but in the USA & western Europe and Africa and the middle east & now Asia i stand by what i said “almost all terrorists are muslim.”

I can say “almost all terrorists are space aliens”. But do I - or you - have any statistical data (from government agencies, etc.), backing that claim?

I don’t have sufficient information to make any comment on this debate, but I will say one thing. Randy, you are the clear winner in eye-rolling!

I can say “almost all terrorists are space aliens”. But do I - or you - have any statistical data (from government agencies, etc.), backing that claim?

Also i would add that UK authorities said 5 plots were intercepted recently so imagine if they weren’t. Additionally there are incidents like this at least twice a week in the Middle east that get very little coverage in the mainstream media like the BBC. For example the past week two dozen Coptic Christians on a bus were murdered in Egypt and about 50 Shite Muslims were murdered in Bagdad and 40 Afgan civilians were murdered in Kabul.

What really makes these muslim extremists difficult to deal with is that the one who blew himself up at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester had a sister who congratulated him the day after on Twitter for making it to Paradise! This is the mindset within this group.

But Dave. Can you add a few more links - with statistics. I don’t think you provided enough. :laughing:

But really. They are just providing numbers. Statistics are really percentages, from a given population sample. :wink:

For example:

2% of all space aliens visiting the US, like chocolate ice cream
10% of all London zombies, watch the walking dead.
15% of all European nerds and geeks, have visited the deep web - at least once.
40% of all Holy Fools, have never been to Canada

Just numbers. Really?? :unamused: :unamused:

Yes, Dave. Numbers.

How many people currently live on this earth?
How many murders are committed?
How many are killed, as a result of terrorist acts?

Percentages. Population samples. Etc.

For example:

In 2016, 2% of all the world’s population, died by being murdered.
In 2016, 1% was killed by terrorist acts.
On June 4, 2017, 100 percent of all Holy Fools on this forum, will be watching Fear the Walking Dead, from 8 - 10:10 PM CST
Etc.

No, Randy. I’m obsessed with those dead people and their families. The ‘numbers’. No matter what context you hide behind, the numbers - the dead people - are real. Killed by Muslims.

Look, Dave. I don’t agree with Muslims killing anyone, in the name of religion. So I am 100%, in agreement with the above statement.

But how many people are killed by Motorcycle gangs? Or regular gangs? Etc.

I really wished they kept statistics, in the Wild West. I’m sure if everyone on this forum, walked into a bar
with six shooters, sawed off shotguns and rifles
any bad guys would think twice - about starting a terrorist act. Just like folks would think twice, about insulting mules, after meeting this guy:

But first - a note. We live in a fallen world. All Christians - no matter their theology - would agree. And I endorse all legal ways, for folks to protect themselves. Which would include owning guns, dogs, alarm systems, etc. But they also should know how to use a gun, what the laws are, etc. And when to engage and not to engage. And there are even spiritual ways, to protect yourself. But I don’t speak publicly about them. But they do exist.
