You forgot Valerie Jarrett - Sr Political Advisor to Obama and nut case.
You forgot Valerie Jarrett - Sr Political Advisor to Obama and nut case.
So let's do some math.
1% of the population are Muslim
There are 535 members of Congress.
So for Muslims to have an accurate representation, they would have 5.35 representatives.
Yet they have 2. It appears as though they are significantly underrepresented.
Then about the Muslim security advisors et. al. Don't you think it would be a good idea to have some experts on the culture whom you are engaged in perpetual war with?
As a counter to my statement that Muslims have next to zero political influence, the best you can do is a very, very short list that includes the ones above.
Let's talk about them.
The Arab American Action Network has political influence because the Woods Fund gave it some small grant (about $75k) 15 years ago? Sure, makes sense.
The Barack H. Obama Foundation has nothing to do with the President. It was founded by his half-brother in their father's name. It has less capital than my banking account. And you might want to do a bit of research before claiming that Obama's half-brother has political influence in this country. Here's the Reader's Digest version, he has none. Zero, zip, zilch.
I've saved the best for last. Who is John Brennen? Maybe you should do a little more research, otherwise you might repeat claims that make you look very, very foolish. Or gullible. Or both.
I think the fact that that list is the best you can do not only in no way refutes my point, it strengthens it.
He just showed you and Ace a huge list that proves he was wrong, including the most senior and closest advisor to the President of the United States. Yet you cherry pick one area that's mildly underrepresented? American Indians are 1% of the population and they only have 2 members of the 113th Congress as well. Does that mean non-Native Americans are xenophobic of Native Americans?
Pointing out and discussing facts is not xenophobia. If it is, then the word itself is no longer a negative adjective. It merely means that what you don't know may be harmful until determined to be otherwise. Would you want to invite members of ISIS to America? If not, does that make you xenophobic? After all, you're categorizing an entire foreign population who are strange and different from you as bad for America, right? How do you know for sure they won't arrive here and renounce the Caliphate? You don't, but you can assign a "risk score" to the proposition. It's called "intelligence".
Simply put, not one single person has provided a valid reason why the Syrian refugees would be better placed in the U.S. than one of the numerous predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East with functional governments and cash to burn. Or why they'd be better off living in the woods in Northern Sweden for that matter. One person categorized all of them as "sh$t holes nobody wants to live in". If anything, categorizing an entire region run by ethnic Muslims as a "sh$thole" would be xenophobic, correct?
Pointing out facts is not xenophobia. Pointing out that 2nd & 3rd generation Muslim immigrants are traveling to Syria to fight for the Caliphate isn't xenophobia, nor is pointing out that the U.S. government has a terrible track record at "vetting" our own security clearance holders with fully transparent records and histories. Do you really think they're going to do better with refugees from Syria, a country we've had on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list since 1979? Seriously?
This isn't xenophobia, so why don't you stop with that nonsense already. It is exceedingly tedious, not to mention inherently false.
That's not correct. In its day the rifled musket was feared and considered unreasonable in the theater of war by the British that were still using smooth bores. Both were weapons designed for use by their military. That makes them "assault weapons".
BTW what is the definition of an Assault weapon?
The lever gun was considered unfair. The AR was in the same category. The 2nd is very clear to most of us.
Check into ostupids staff and the appointments he has made since gaining office and report back to us. Its public record.
Why don't you check, and then come back and make your point, if you have one.
You can do the homework. Your systems are always working. Right? You always have plenty of time. At least that was a comment you made earlier.
So, you don't have a point. Got it.
Well, you got me there Ace, a quick cite with out review. "Winning"
