An Open Letter To Khizr Khan

[PatsFan1283]

Trump is taking the bait and enabled the media to make him look like a asshole, it's what they live to do

Simple response

1) I've read the constitution, it protects the rights of US Citizens AND does not speak to having open borders.

2) My primary responsibility under the constitution is national security, hence I'm freezing the admittance of Syrian refugees until we can be certain they're properly vetted, only using common sense, especially in view of the worldwide violence

3) I did not approve of the wars to begin with, but Hillary did before she wanted to cut funding to our soldiers.

4) their son served our country, I appreciate all he's done and he's a great american


Not sure how they can turn something so simple into a clusterfuck, he's not very good at political warfare

He doesn't do simple responses. There was the question during the primaries "Is this an act to soak the media attention and when he gets to the GE, he will pivot?" but it just seems like this is who he is. New controversy every single day. Even the day after his nomination speech, in the morning presser he was right back to going back and forth with Cruz.

Some his fault, some clearly bait but he just has no political savvy when it comes to navigating these things.

If you took away his 15-20 dumbest comments, he would probably win this race easily.

LOL if you took away his 15-20 dumbest comments he'd make 15-20 more dumb comments.

diplomacy not a strong suit of his either

Wish I wasn't on my phone. Would post pic of Marco Rubio right now.

^^^ And last night when he was asked about it he gave the opposite viewpoint and said he is bound by the constitution and that sharia is incompatible with it. This thread has turned to fail as fast as Trump's campaign, in both directions. Posters said the media wouldn't ask him about sharia. A few hours later they did. Other posters still want to talk about the violent history of Islam. Christianity didn't have such a great past as well and I've got pictures of family graves to prove it.

And here we are with a guy who is obviously disconected from violent extremism, the type of Muslim we need not fear in this country, and all the far righties in here want to post lies that keep him connected to it. And then there's SPAMMY entrenched in his Far Left Fantasyland that says, "Let 'em all in!"

Do I like that this issue is being used to destroy a candidate and that he swims against the current drowning after it? No! I agree with Willie, every word. But this is another test that Trump could have navigated his way through. I'm no politician. But I would have completely turned this shit around. Trump made it 100 times worse. GL coming back from this.

Scott, I’m one of the posters who said it wouldn’t happen and I’m surprised it did. Did you really expect Khan say he is in favor of Sharia law? He lives in the USA, his kids live here, his life as he knows it would cease to exist if he did.


I think he now realizes that being suckered into the limelight by the Clinton campaign was not a good move on his part. He assures us he’s an educated person. Did he really think his background wasn’t going to be scrutinized?


He bought himself a big shit sandwich by giving that speech. I don’t know what Clinton offered him in exchange but whatever it was it better have been huge.


IMHO he’s in now in damage control. If I were him I’d simply disappear until this blows over which will happen in a couple of weeks if he just shuts his pie hole. 99% of the general public didn’t know this guy and six months from now no one will remember him.


You say he’s the type of Muslim we need not fear and I agree but I wouldn’t trust him in any way, shape or form.

We don't need diplomacy. We need someone who will SMASH liberal narratives into a million pieces.

McCain failed.

Romney failed.

So far, Trump isn't up to the job.

Newt would shine under these circumstances.

Closed primaries will get you the candidate who will navigate through these minefields.

Is it too late to nominate a polished articulate conservative or must we still wait on that?

 

[Willie99]

sign me up Joe, I'll take a great conservative mind who can articulate the truth and navigate the mind fields that doesn't turn himself into a lightening rod

Trump, Cruz and Newt are lightening rods, and I love Newt

Lmao.....the only reason the race is this close is because Trump is not a conservative. Ted Cruz would get smashed by Hillary .....and Newt was clowned by a cnn anchor. Even better is Newt was saying feelings are more important than fact.

Do you ever get anything right?

I have to disagree with you here. The reason this is close is that Trump is anti-establishment at the perfect time to be anti-establishment. Hillary is a weak enough candidate that some of the conservatives would have beat her. Ted Cruz may have lost to her but he wouldn't have gotten smashed.

Hillary would beat Cruz by a lot. Moderate repubs like Rubio or Kasich are easy winners against her

It will be a long time before a far right conservative wins a pres election.

Anti establishment is a part of it as well.....but not being a conservative is a factor.

Completely disagree. But there's no point in arguing back and forth all day. We'll just leave it where we usually do, I'm right and you're wrong.

 

[PatsFan1283]

Vitterd how do you define conservative that can't win? What specific policies are not on the table?

There may be some differences between Rubio and cruz but the main 1 is that Rubio is just a much better communicator which makes people like you feel warm and fuzzy.


People are pretty dumb, most of politics is just good messaging and marketing.

The exposure continues….


New York Post columnist and former Hoover Institution media fellow Paul Sperry appeared on Wednesday’s Breitbart News Daily with SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon to discuss his column for Breitbart News, “Khizr Khan Believes the Constitution ‘Must Always Be Subordinated to the Sharia.’”


“It turns out that we were conned by Khan,” Perry quipped. “His past Islamic writings reveal his support for sharia, and extreme sharia enforcers, which totally contradicts his support for the Constitution he waved in all our faces at the Democratic convention.”


“Specifically, in a book review I unearthed from the ’80s, Khan praises a Pakistani mullah — of course, Khan is an immigrant from Pakistan — he praises this Pakistani mullah who advocates for the enforcement of barbaric sharia punishments, like floggings, amputations, and beheadings, for those who violate Islamic laws,” Sperry said.


“In another paper he wrote, ‘Defining Sharia Law,’ Khan gratefully cites the notorious Muslim Brotherhood radicals who called for installing Islamic regimes in the West through ‘civilization jihad,’ which is what you’re talking about in terms of the infiltration of this fifth column that the Muslim Brotherhood has built up with their infrastructure in the United States, this terrorist support network too,” Sperry continued.


“If I can just say, it was an absolute mistake, the more we learn about Khan, to assume that the father was just as patriotic as his war-hero son,” he argued. “And Republicans were stupid to create a no-fire zone around him. I mean, this guy is not the champion of the Constitution and Western principles we were told he was. It turns out he’s not an expert on the Constitution, he’s an expert on sharia law, which makes an absolute mockery of the Constitution.”


Sperry agreed, and also supported Bannon’s characterization of Khizr Khan as “one of the biggest proponents in this country of sharia law.”


“He’s got dozens of citations in Islamic law journals, and syllabi, teaching sharia law. He is a world-renowned expert on sharia, not the Constitution,” Sperry said. “He’s a devout Muslim, this is what he believes in. I think you’re right – you have to separate both the son and the mother from the scrutiny, but the father deserves a lot of scrutiny. He’s clearly got an agenda. He’s an angry political activist up there, in a non-stop parade on the cable networks, haranguing and wagging his finger at Trump and all of us, lecturing us.”


Is Khan the Muslim equivalent of Jeremiah Wright?

Warm and fuzzy? Where do you come up with this nonsense?

 

[PatsFan1283]

You arent going to try to answer?

 

[SheriffJoe]

Ted Cruz has been smashing liberals and winning his entire life - in the courts, in the media, in the cesspool that is Washington DC. He would totally smash the crooked cackling c*unt without breaking a sweat.

For a time, during the Obamacare and omnibus disasters, it seemed like Ted Cruz was the only politician in Washington who gave a damn about the people's constitutional rights and freedoms.

He's one of the few battle-hardened conservative warriors I trust.

The others are RINO mush.

I hope he's already preparing for 2020.

 

[PatsFan1283]

I don't agree with a lot of Cruz positions and his overall theocratic bent, I can see why that turns voters off.

But the fact of the matter is that he hates the government and has a libertarian approach to how it should run. The only reason he seems extreme about these matters is because things have gotten so out of control that anyone who begins to question the insanity tends to look insane themselves.

It would take someone as principled and "extreme" as him just to get things even back on a somewhat normal trajectory as far as how the government should run.

People thought Howard Hughes and Thomas Edison were quacks too, now what?

Blatant Lie, by a blatant Liar, FRINGY. But what else is new from this Hypocritical coward, who calls People Anti Semites who aren't, but runs and hides when he has the opportunity to call actual Anti Semites and Pro Terrorism Scum Out.

 

[vitterd]

You arent going to try to answer?

Rubio would be waaaaayyy better at working with dems. It wouldn't be a his way or the highway type deal. Cruz way more of an ideologue and would be unwilling to compromise any of his far right positions. Far more gridlock with Cruz.....a guy that is hated by everybody on Capitol Hill, probably not the best person to be in the White House.

I think it's been shown that Cruz is more conservative on economic and defense. Overall..conservatives with horrible personalities and unwillingness to compromise.....would be a disaster for the White House.

Is that enough to make you warm and fuzzy?face)(*^%
