Canadians FEAR Trump...Big Time

[waldo]

Do your math!

my math? You made a statement and I simply asked you for clarity; asked you what Bernie Sanders positions has you pulling the 'socialist' card... has you so concerned over Sanders positions... that although impacting most directly Americans (of course), has you, a Canadian (you are Canadian, right), talking up such a lightweight as Trump. Again, what Sanders positions are you concerned about... as a from afar Canadian?

Don't talk to me about moral character!

Before we point our accusing finger at Trump, accusing him of how little he knows........ Canadians has something serious to be concerned about when Trudeau showed how ill-informed he is!

Another thing both Obama and Trudeau have in common: they both love sucking up to dictators, and human rights violators!

Why are you changing the topic to Trudeau and Obama? Neither have been accused of adultery or theft, like Trump. I don't think either are on record for breaking even one commandment, which is the test of character I like to put on political candidates before I support them. I feel that if the electoral system is forcing us to judge them, at least we have God's basic laws to guide us.

If that's your test of character.......which US candidate is running on the promise that he will outlaw adultery?

You keep harping about Christianity......

Which candidate is making a promise to Christians? To help Assyrian Christians facing persecution and slaughter, who are being denied entry in the US.....to be granted refuge in the USA?

You actually have less power, and yet, if you look at it, I was talking to some, we probably have 250 million, maybe even more, in terms of people. So we have more Christians — think of this — than we have men or women in our country, and we don’t have a lobby because they’re afraid to have a lobby because they don’t want to lose their tax status. So I am going to work like Hell to get rid of that prohibition, and we’re going to have the strongest Christian lobby, and it’s going to happen.”

The way that Trump used “Hell” in this connotation — as an adjective instead of a place — is considered a curse in Christianity, but surprisingly, no one seemed to care.

Perhaps that was because after the remark, the Donald launched into an attack on radical Islam, drawing a comparison between how the left reacts to Muslims and how they react to Christians.

“When I said Muslim,” in relation to his proposed temporary Muslim ban, Trump said, “I was met with furor. If I would have said Christian, people would have said, ‘Oh we can’t do anything about it.’ That’s going to end, folks.”

"Christianity is being chipped away at in this country, and I’m not going to let it happen."

Donald Trump is promising to re-empower Christians by repealing 1954’s ‘Johnson Amendment’.

President Obama is on topic if Canadians truly FEAR Donald Trump. Obama has already done several of the things that Trump has only spoken about, but he is not feared. Irrational and inconsistent.....The Right Honourable Justin P. J. Trudeau adds to the topic by injecting himself into the fray.

Mayhap, Trump's promise regarding Christianity.....is Canada's biggest fear?

Trudeau admires China for getting the work done! LOL.

What dictator can't have his way when you know you'll disappear if you don't do as you're told! How naive....or un-informed is that? Silly, silly comment.

Imagine your leader coming out and blatantly expressing admiration for an oppressive Communist regime!

Not at all. You misunderstand. I was saying that before one chooses to support a candidate, one must judge their platform, their qualifications and their overall character. You may say it's not your place to judge, but in supporting a candidate, that's something you've already done. My point was that, since the process demands your judgement of the individual on his or her fitness for office, you could do worse than to use God's word, including his commandments, for guidance. I don't think that's scraping the bottom of the barrel at all.

I like the platform of Trump! Especially what he promises to do for Christians and Christianity!

Other reasons have been expressed in my previous posts!

Is he going to deliver, or will he end up just like another promise-breaking politician? I don't know.....

My apologies. I missed that post. I will have to read it. I'm not a Christian but as long as his promises don't obstruct human rights for everyone including gays, women and minorities, I'm cool.

That's what I thought. Betsy disappeared. Thanks for playing Betsy.

Why would you expect someone to repsond to your posts within minutes, or else they are subject to being berated? Your expectations of people are whacky. No different than when Betsy keeps repeating "bye bye" incessantly.

We were having a dialogue in case you weren't paying attention. Why don't you just butt out. Your expectations of my behaviour are whacky.

Real big surprise knowing the OP and his ability to go off the rails with purpose.

This thread was a travesty from the get go.

I missed this nugget from Canadian media.....FEAR of Trump is an overreaction in Canada:

What’s unclear at this point is why so many in this country believe the offensive comments, the racism and the ill-informed bombastic blathering of the Republican frontrunner is something we have to deal with.

...Leave aside the incoherence of celebrating the fact that we embrace everyone by banning someone from the country, barring politicians for offensive views is one slippery slope.

“There is free speech and there is hate speech and there is a fine line between the two,’’ Kennedy said Thursday.

We’ve just had an election in this country in which the politics of fear was rejected.

...We should not be smug. We must remember that a third of the electorate still voted for the party espousing these views and opposition to the niqab ban helped lead to Mulcair’s demise in Quebec.

I don't know his position about gays. But he did promise to do away with political correctness and to bring back free speech (which has been suppressed - another human rights violation).

Come to think of it - isn't it odd that Obama seem to look up to Dictators?

Just look how Democratic rights have been chipped away!

From what little I've read so far about the Christian promise, it was started by the fact that the USA is currently refusing refugee status to fleeing Christians that are targetted for slaughter (and yet Muslim refugees are being welcomed).

Canadian Minister McCallum refuses to say how many Christian refugees have been taken in, as compared to Muslims......even when prodded by a persistent journalist.

Trump is trying to correct an outright human right violation based on bigotry against the minority group of Christians, being perpetuated by the sitting administration in the USA.

I don't think I've ever heard of the other Christian candidates like Rubio, Cruz and Kasich (?)....ever addressed that blatant bigotry against their brothers and sisters who are being led away to death and slaughter.

I may be wrong.....but I haven't heard that in their platform.

In Trump, for once I hear someone, unashamedly, openly promising to do something specific,

for Christians and Christianity.

--------------

Whether this is mere play for me....... my arguments are still sound. I give something substantial. That's what matters.

I've been responding to you.

Therefore, I resent your juvenile insinuation about me - after all, I'm assuming we're all adults here.

Btw, let's make one thing clear: I'm not here at your beck and call, 24/7.

I'm here for my own enjoyment. I'm not obligated, nor am I here, to cater to yours.

If you can' t wait for the response - do your own digging. Anyway, spoon-feeding is for babies.

Of course, I assume you know how to use google.

You'll just have to learn to have patience......and try to curb that sense of entitlement to instant gratification.

Let's face it. It's not Canadians that are afraid of Trump. It's left wing Canadians that are afraid....not only of Trump....but of anyone who threatens their belief that only they know what's best for everyone.

True.

Left-wing Canadian media had also joined the fray. Thus CBC had churned out two so-called documentaries on Trump - which are actually anti-Trump propagandas. They're quaking in their boots.

I believe the issue is that Obama has opposed setting up a religion test for potential refugees, believing we are all God's children, but that Muslim refugees have better support networks because of their greater representation in their home countries and are therefore in a better position to get out. I've seen it compared to Haitian orphanages, which have few orphans because actual orphans don't have the support network to get in.

Unfortunately, Donald Trump has used this situation to try stoke anger and resentment against Muslim refugees, which isn't a very Christian thing to do.

Then, if there is no intentional discrimination, the US ought to rectify that.

U.S. ‘discriminates’ against Christian refugees, accepts 96% Muslims, 3% Christians

......the result of a referral system that Republican Sen. Tom Cotton says “unintentionally discriminates” against Christians.

State Department figures released Monday showed that the current system overwhelmingly favors Muslim refugees. Of the 2,184 Syrian refugees admitted to the United States so far, only 53 are Christians while 2,098 are Muslim, the Christian News Service reported.

“[T]he United States’ reliance on the United Nations for referrals of Syrian refugees should also be re-evaluated,” said Mr. Cotton in a statement. “That reliance unintentionally discriminates against Syrian Christians and other religious minorities who are reluctant to register as refugees with the United Nations for fear of political and sectarian retribution.”

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/nov/17/us-unintentionally-discriminates-against-christian/

Whether it's intentional discrimination or not, Trump is bang-on in stating that it should be set right!

Surely, just because the system works against Christians, doesn't mean that it should therefore be left at that!

If it's broke, you gotta fix it! No matter what stripe you wear!

Christian or not, that's just simply the most sensible and right thing to do for the leader of a country that prides itself as the champion of the oppressed!

There should be no excuse for anything that results in the discrimination of Christian MINORITIES, that are especially targetted for slaughter!
