San Bernardino

Good point there: Divisive politics make the nation more vulnerable.

 

Is your average, moderate Muslim an anti-Semite?

And, if so, why would we let them immigrate here?

 

Lol. Breaking news! Trumps plan might prove difficult to implement:

 

YF, congrats on your new gig at Slate:

San Bernardino shooters were "radicalized" for "a long time."

 

Good lord, YF, I'm getting concerned for your mental health, nobody should spend as much time as you seem to each day obsessing about muslims.

 

And, just like with the Tsarnaev brothers, everyone is trying to figure out witch one "radicalized" the other, as if one was a victim of the other.

 

Ok, Trump's proposal doesn't turn out to be so radical.

He just told Greta that if you're Muslim, and serving overseas in our military, he'll let you back into the country.

 

Just not the ones you claim.

 

Both sides will have guns, it's just that one side will have guns that were purchased legally and the other side will have guns that were not purchased legally.

 

A blogger named Jim Wright had an idea of how they might keep Muslims out. It would go something like this:

"Steely Eyed ICE Agent: So, you say you're a Christian. Prove it. Quote me some bible stuff.

Immigrant 1: Well, um, I, um, probably hate gay people and don't want them to get married?

ICE: Are you asking me or are you telling me? <finger hovers near button marked "waterboard">

Immigrant 1: Gay marriage causes hurricanes. I'm fleeing Syria because they tried to gay marry me to a Muslim! True story. Plus, I love bacon!

ICE: Well who doesn't, right? Welcome to America, please pick up your gun at the exit Kiosk. NEXT! You, step up, can you prove that you're a Christian?

Immigrant 2: Women are so silly, they totally shouldn't be allowed to decide what to do with their own bodies. Also, lady parts are icky and she was probably asking for it anyway.

ICE: Excellent. Excellent. You're in. There are a couple of coupons in your welcome packet for $5 off a lifetime NRA membership. NEXT! C'mon, c'mon, we don't have all day. Christian? Let's see some proof.

Immigrant 3: America should totally build a wall across Mexico!

ICE: I'm not feelin' the Holy Spirit here. Tell me more.

Immigrant 3: Like it should be about a bizillion miles high and have big honkin machine guns and flamethrowers and drones with LASERS and robot dobermans that shoot killer bees from their mouths to keep out brown people!

ICE: <dubiously> You're kinda of brown.

Immigrant 3: This is Jesus brown. Olive, Bro. I'm talking about Mexican brown. Dude, seriously, check my calves, do those look like cantaloupes to you? USA! USA!

ICE: THERE it is. You're in! Help yourself to a nice cold Corona at the bar. Okay, who's next? You, what would Jesus do? Chop chop, Haji, I ain't got all day.

Immigrant 4: Well...maybe, um, feed the hungry?

ICE: <furrows brow>

Immigrant 4: Clothe the poor?

ICE: <furrowed brow turns to suspicious scowl>

Immigrant 4: Heal the sick? Do unto others?

ICE: So, you're a commie terrorist.

Immigrant 4: No! I can totally do this! Look! Look! Check out the beam in my own eye, it's like huge. I like can hardly even see the mote in yours, I swear! Please!

ICE: <hand slaps the alarm> WE GOT ONE!"
