Patterson, New Jersey
Donald Trump says plenty of provocative things and much of his appeal is the fact that he does not back down from those things. The latest is that he saw certain Muslims in the United States celebrated the 9/11 tragedy. I did some searches and could not find videos of it, but I do remember a television report showing a parking lot in Patterson, New Jersey where people were happy that the 9/11 tragedy occurred and dancing around singing. For me, I believe Donald Trump.
Database Outcry
Once again, we can look to the MSM (main-stream media) for hypocrisy in reporting. Donald Trump also talked about having a database of people in the Islamic faith. And as can be expected, the media exploded on him. Where were these media folks when President Obama threw out an idea of having a database in the White House of people who opposed Obamacare? Where was the media when Al Gore spoke about having a database of people who do not support climate change? In my opinion, databases tracking anyone because of their faith, beliefs or political affiliations is wrong.
Syrian Refugees
I love social media. You get to find out who people are and what and how they think through their own words and actions. There have been a number of folks posting that it is wrong for America to turn away Syria refugees. Well, where were all these people when we let the Syria civil war began and many on the right were arguing that the US needed to get involved? Civil wars in the 21st century always lead to refugee crises whether in Africa, South America, Asia or the Middle East.
The underlying thought here is that if these people suffer in their own borders, it is not our concern. It is not our concern when chemical weapons are used to kill masses of them. It is only our concern when they approach our border and democrats need additional votes.
Paris Attacks
Another hypocrisy uncovered on Facebook. In the aftermath of the Paris attacks, many people posted Pray for Paris. I myself did not post but my heart went out to the innocent lives taken there. However, I do support those that did showing solidarity against terrorism.
Well, some social media folks were not happy. They then started to post about other shootings and violence in other places of the world (interesting that people avoided mentioning Chicago). Well, it took Paris to occur and then people to talk about Paris before they posted about these other tragedies. If they believed in expressing support for them, they should have posted them when they occurred before Paris.
It would seem that the 2015 annual theme for liberals is hypocrisy - well, who are we kidding, that has always been the liberal ways.
