T. Belman. Somebody should clue Priebus in. He is tiptoeing through the tulips. I hope Trump isn’t doing likewise. If you are a Muslim you embrace Islamic supremacy and therefor must be feared. If you support the Muslim Brotherhood, you are to be feared. If you support Sharia Law you must be feared. If you give Zakat which goes in part to support Jihad, you must be feared. Are there Muslims who don’t do any of these things? Perhaps so. They need not be feared.
Reince Priebus doubles down on president-elect’s policy promise, but says he doesn’t agree it’s ‘rational’ to fear all Muslims
President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for chief of staff, Reince Priebus, said Sunday that as president, Trump will “suspend” immigration from countries in which “systematic terrorism is taking place.”
On CNN’s “State of the Union,” Priebus was asked by host Jake Tapper if the Trump administration’s policy will be that “fear of Muslims is rational,” as Trump’s selection for national security adviser, General Michael Flynn, wrote on Twitter in February. Priebus responded that Flynn’s words were “not a blanket statement for everyone,” but emphasized that “there are radical members of that religion that need to be dealt with.”
Priebus said that Trump’s policy will be that “where systematic terrorism is taking place, where countries… are harboring and training terrorists, we’re going to temporarily suspend immigration from that country or region until a better vetting system is put in place.”
Pressed by Tapper — who insisted that while “fear of radical Islamic terrorists is rational,” Flynn had asserted that “fear of [all] Muslims is rational” — Priebus said “that there are some people within that particular religion that we do fear,” but a Trump administration does not “believe in religious tests” or “blanketly judging an entire religion.”
Rather, he said, it will rather “try to pinpoint the problems and temporarily suspend those areas from — in coming into the United States until a better vetting system is in place.”

During the election campaign, Trump called for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on,” drawing widespread criticism, including from US lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
In the wake of his election, Trump has tried to walk back some of his comments against Muslims, as his campaign staff has reportedly reached out to a number of Arab states, imploring them to disregard Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric during the race for the presidency.
In the days following the election, Trump’s statement that he would ban Muslims temporarily disappeared from his website, but later reappeared, in what a spokesman called a computer glitch, refuting speculation that, as president, Trump would adopt a more moderate tone and policies toward Muslims.
Good start.
the obama administration appear to be intentionally flooding the nation with illegals before Trump gets in. Trump must warn mexicans that anyone coming in illegally during this time will be permanently banned from the US and that those who ordered the pull back will be tried for treason
