vp -- are you really so far gone in your hatred for Muslims that you feel compelled to write nonsense like this? do you really not recognize the threat that trump poses to every decent value that are at the core of the U.S. that you and i and every other immigrant has enjoyed? why do you think his own party members are starting to call him unhinged?
and in a related matter, do you not see the difference between an elected government and a presidential candidate?

Let me understand this... If Trump's poll numbers have jumped higher then more people must be liking what he's saying. Right? Which means more Americans want someone like Trump to lead them. Maybe not all but 40% approval rating people (about 12% eligible voters).
You are right on... If this had happened in India this site would be on fire Giving friendly preventive advice on USA is soooooo easy.

I was just comparing the reaction in the US with that in India. I suppose, according to you, based on the "intolerance" debate, India is much more enlightened than the US.
I don't support Trump. But look at what the poll shows! People are thinking about the terrorist attacks and relating them to the ideology behind. In my view, the Mani Shankar Aiyers of India are narcissistic jerks.

in many ways india is more enlightened than the US. they don't always deal with it well, but india has dealt with diversity far longer than the US. i don't think the people who are supporting trump are thinking much, but are simply reacting to a fear. so how would this trump proposal work? just ask people entering or reentering the US if they are muslims, assume everyone is going to answer honestly, and then send those away who answer in the affirmative? forget about the bigotry. his political opponents should hammer him on the stupidity of his idea first. anyone who is willing to suggest such an idiotic scheme is unqualified to be president. we can talk about bigotry later.

I don't think Trump is a serious candidate. Apparently, he is now talking about contesting as an independent. If he really does that, the Republican vote will split. Trump is a good friend of the Clintons.
India is a soft state - an easy target for self-serving strategies (by China, UK, USA, Russia, etc.) in the international arena. Indian "intellectuals" don't really talk from strength.

Re: The poll after Trump's "Muslim" remark......
What enlightened? People even foolishly believe that it is alright to call India a secular country while Indians officially continue to follow and live according to religious laws. As for India being able to deal with the diversity, that is only because the majority in India seems to kowtow to minorities on almost every issue, lest it be called "intolerant".

Yeah. If a Hindu doesn't self-deprecate, he becomes an "intolerant" Chaddi. Those who follow Semitic religions talk about "secularism" (for political gain) even though the religions they practice are fundamentally opposed to Secularism. Self-deprecating Hindu "intellectuals" join the cunning oxymoron crowd and do everything possible to obstruct Secular ideas (like UCC). The Christopher Hitchens of the world become Chaddis in the minds of self-deprecating Indian Sikular "intellectuals".

I'm not sure why nobody is asking questions of how Trump intends to implement his no Muslims policy. If they do that he'll be exposed as a hollow loud mouth. Instead everyone is bent out of shape about the principle of the thing.

He would say that. He would also say that the ISIS morons are barbaric. He won't leave cowardly intellectuals (who keep quiet on iSlamic terrorism) alone - he will tell them to fkoff.

Kris,
Congress passed some visa restrictions similar to what you suggested.
Trump did not win his following by appealing to voter's logic and reason. His strength is the fear in people's mind.

Yeah. If a Hindu doesn't self-deprecate, he becomes an "intolerant" Chaddi. Those who follow Semitic religions talk about "secularism" (for political gain) even though the religions they practice are fundamentally opposed to Secularism. Self-deprecating Hindu "intellectuals" join the cunning oxymoron crowd and do everything possible to obstruct Secular ideas (like UCC). The Christopher Hitchens of the world become Chaddis in the minds of self-deprecating Indian Sikular "intellectuals".
Re: The poll after Trump's "Muslim" remark......
It is good that Trump is a Billionaiire businessman bcz he will go back to making his money after the elections. He is the Le Pen of US. There is a SIGNIFICANT % of US population that is concerned with gun ownership, Jesus, Illegals and Abortion. This large population (mostly blue collar) is ignored by the Republicans after the primaries and Democrats dont care. This is a "lost" tribe that looks to a shining armor at every election. Perot, Palin and Trump are the result. These politicians bring it into the open the unsaid and politically incorrect statements about issues that are strongly felt by a large population that are most directly affected.
Just like the Illegal issue and abortion issue keep cropping up frequently so will the Muslim issue. It is sown and it is not going away ever from US politics. It is good that Trump brought it out bcz it will put the Kullas on the notice and on watch thus wont openly scream "for their rights"and Sharia. After Trump, someone else will pick up on this issue and keep it alive. This is what the BJP win and Modi did to the Indian Muslims - who now soley depend on Sonia Italian Mata to be their spokesman. This should have been done way back in 1950s and Muslims in India would have been much quieter.
So thank Trump for putting a lid on the Kullas and Mullahs.

Giving your own spin to Krugman's theory? Ugliness is gorgeous to you, isn't it?Marathadi-Saamiyaar wrote:
It is good that Trump is a Billionaiire businessman bcz he will go back to making his money after the elections. He is the Le Pen of US. There is a SIGNIFICANT % of US population that is concerned with gun ownership, Jesus, Illegals and Abortion. This large population (mostly blue collar) is ignored by the Republicans after the primaries and Democrats dont care. This is a "lost" tribe that looks to a shining armor at every election. Perot, Palin and Trump are the result. These politicians bring it into the open the unsaid and politically incorrect statements about issues that are strongly felt by a large population that are most directly affected.
Just like the Illegal issue and abortion issue keep cropping up frequently so will the Muslim issue. It is sown and it is not going away ever from US politics.

.....you are such a fake and dishonest...and you claim to be unbiased, secularist.....my foot.
Notice how ALL these magnanimous, "successful", broad-minded, intellectuals and business people all over the world. These people want to maintain status quo and fear the the lower rung. These people ignore them except once every 4 (or 5 years), and forced to join the singathon of the "broad-minded".
In short, these all tolerant, secular, unbiased are totally intolerant and biased towards this large bottom one-third of the population (in any country).
Yes...ugliness is gorgeous to me just as you wear looting, fakiness, and intolerance towards the majority as the stars on your shoulder.

Even he knows it is easier to force Mexico to build a Southern Wall.
He is just exploiting the hidden, uncomfortable, and unsaid fear of the bottom 1/3rd. He wont win but all he did was a Palin in 2016 fashion. What is achievable is anti-islamic candidates being elected here and there at local levels - wherever the Kullas make noise/in large numbers - as in Dallas suburbs or in Oklahma - to prevent more Hamtramcks from popping up in the future. Stricter enforcement/deniel of non-immigrant visas against them is "very likely."
