Trump
Says Murder Their Wives and Children
Trump has made great headway throughout his campaign by saying hateful, bigoted, and xenophobic things in public to huge crowds of equally hateful adoring fans. All you have to do is give him a mic, a camera, or a phone and he’ll say despicable things that will get the bottom feeders in this country all riled up.
He’s
put down veterans, insulted women, lied about Muslims in New Jersey celebrating
9/11, and sicced crowds on black protesters.
He’s justified both that attack
and the Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado as something “they” had coming
to them. If they hadn’t behaved that way, bad things wouldn’t have happened to
them.
Trump's line of reasoning goes something like this: If that black guy
hadn’t been so uppity, my fans wouldn’t have beaten him up. And if Planned
Parenthood hadn’t been harvesting baby brains (referencing a video and claims
that have been refuted), they wouldn’t have been attacked.
Despite all the “pro-life” anti-Planned Parenthood rhetoric he has been spouting along with the rest of the Republican presidential candidates, he shows a surprising disregard for human life.
In an interview with Fox & Friends, Trump was questioned about how he would reduce
civilian casualties while still “bombing the hell” out of Daesh/ISIS/ISIL.
Collateral damage to civilian populations is a huge concern, as the
indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians is not only a crime against humanity,
it also happens to be one of ISIS’s primary recruitment tools and only
exacerbates the tensions between the Middle East and the United States.
Trump,
who is pro-life, responded by totally rejecting the idea of reducing civilian
casualties. On the contrary, he proposed specifically targeting the families of
ISIS fighters.
He then accused President Obama of waging a “politically
correct” war and went on to say that “when you get these terrorists, you
have to take out their families. They care about their lives. Don’t kid
yourself. But they say they don’t care about their lives. You have to take out
their families.”
The
brain dead talking heads at FOX had no response to this completely ludicrous
statement, and switched the conversation to illegal immigration.
This
might be just the kind of hateful speech that angry old white men or
hillbillies want to hear, but I have to believe that the rest of the country
and the world isn’t buying it. It’ll be telling in the next couple of days to
see what what the polls have to say. I’m going to guess his numbers will go up.
Journalist Jürgen
Todenhöfer, who has spent time with ISIS wrote this about the
reasons for the rise of ISIS:
As I learned
from spending time interviewing Islamic State members in Syria and northern
Iraq, George W Bush’s “war on terror” turned out to be a classic terrorist
recruitment programme of this kind. In 2001 there were
roughly a couple of hundred terrorists in the mountains of the Hindu Kush who
posed a threat to the international community. Now, after the war on terror has
claimed what some estimate to be as many as one million Iraqi
lives, we are facing some 100,000 terrorists. Isis was created
six months after the start of the invasion: it is Bush’s baby.
How can it be
that leading politicians learned nothing from 14 years of counterproductive
anti-terror wars? How can it be that they still believe that the best way to
get rid of an infestation of wasps is to batter the nests with a sledgehammer?
