Carson has backtracked on his "sources" statement now, saying that it was "tongue in cheek". More like "foot-in-mouth". in other news not much worth mentioning Piyush "Bobby" Jindal has withdrawn from the presidential race saying that it was "not his time". Jindal was the most perceptive of the GOP candidates...

He Went There: Trump Crosses the Nazi Line “We’re going to have to do things that we never did before,” Trump told Yahoo News. “Some people are going to be upset about it, but I think that now everybody is feeling that security is going to rule.” A-137862That was my grandfather's "special ID badge", courtesy of Auschwitz. We know where this is going, don't we? Concentration camps, final solutions, holocausts. And here's a word for everyone who simply can't help that they hate Muslims...I am not a big fan of Islam because I'm not big on any organized religion anymore, but here's something you Muslim-haters might not have considered: Once the Trump-Reich is done with the Muslims, (hypothetically) what makes you think they would stop there? Sorry, it just doesn't work that way, look at history for God's sake. Why do you think Martin Neimoller wrote that poem, the one that says, "First they came for the.....(etc)?" Fascist regimes, especially ones founded atop an already established and entrenched oligarchy, ALWAYS turn into dictatorships and those dictatorships become increasingly paranoid, which means that they are compelled to PURIFY the population more and more, narrowing the group of those deemed worthy to exist. The paranoia gets driven by the increasingly HORRIBLE economic conditions endured by the general population so the regime requires more and more scapegoats. Do you see how this is working? It's like rats in a cage, it's very very simple. So, things inside the regime get worse and worse, first the Muslims, then the next group, then the next group, and on and on until it's YOUR GROUP. So maybe I can't convince you to do away with your irrational hatred of Muslims, I don't give a s*** if you have mental issues, I am not your doctor, but just know that a fascist regime like Trump's will never run out of scapegoats, so once they run out of Muslims, they will just create a new group of "muslims", and they might not necessarily BE MUSLIMS, you get it? They might be YOUR group.

Maybe another candidate needs to go one better? How about Chris Christie? Ted Cruz? Cruz is a Texan so maybe he could propose a "Shoot All Muzzies On Sight" law.

I saw what Trump has proposed several times on Facebook. My very first thought was how Hitler made a ll the Jews wear yellow six-pointed stars with the word "Juden" on them. It also reminded me of when the US rounded up all the Japanese(American-born or not) and stuck them in concentration camps. Trump is a dangerous man-even if he is a idiotic blowhard.

Hey, how come the Czechs and Poles all had to wear the gay inverted orange triangle? Were the Nazis implying they were all secretly gay?
And what if you were something like a gay Jewish Pole? What badge did you get then?

Everyone wore inverted triangles. The color denoted your category, and letters mostly nationality. It was all very, very organized. Jews got TWO triangles, because they were special.
I don't think we have as much to worry about with Republicans because they are not organized. But they might just go for the badges thing. They're all about labels.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Marco Rubio has unveiled his plan to kill all the terrorists to death: When I am president, what I will do to defeat ISIL is very simple: whatever it takes. Apparently 'whatever' means no meetings though. Mr. Senator-In-Name-Only missed the The Aftermath of Paris: America's Role ( Senate.gov ) meeting so that he could go to California again and collect more monies so that he can possibly be Commander-In-Chief - because raising more money is more relevant to being Commander-In-Chief than going to some boring Senate meeting on ISIS/L, man.
