Is It Ok to be Scared Now?

Donald Trump said at a rally in South Carolina that we need a moratorium on Muslim immigration until we get a handle on things. As to be expected he's getting a lot of criticism from the drive-by media. What's surprising however is how vociferous REPUBLICAN criticism has been. Everybody wants to tell us "who we are as Americans" and what "values we hold dear". Well guess what? Dying is not a "value" and stupidity is not a virtue. Furthermore as a born and bred American I'll decide what my values are thank you very much. If you choose to live dangerously and grab a beer at your local biker bar or take a midnight stroll in the Hood or allow people to come here who have a LONG history of violence with no way to vet them, then off you go. But I'll be damned if I'll sit idly by as coddled, insulated elitists gamble with my life. By the way, if Republicans want to raise hell why won't they ask Obama where are all the Christian refugees? Slip their minds?
Common sense works every time! Try it, you'll like it!

    Trump may or may not be the next president. Irrespective, he does bring focus to the fact that we need to correctly identify Muslim jihadi problem and focus on active measures to defeat it. If GW Bush hadn't redirected American focus toward Iraq (not then part of the jihad) we would have been farther ahead now, but that's spilt milk. If Barack had done ANYTHING in 7 years, we would have been farther than we are now.

    If the jihadis keep killing innocent people in the US and abroad, they may just get Trump.
