Terror recruitment video has Trump excerpt - CNN.com

Donald Trump is indeed featured in a terrorist recruiting ad: DNC 2016 Fact Check

In January, the Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab (which is affiliated with Al-Qaeda), released a 51-minute recruitment video. In the video, a man said, "Yesterday, America was a land of slavery, segregation, lynching and the Ku Klux Klan. And tomorrow, it will be a land of religious discrimination and concentration camps."

The video then went straight to a clip of Trump, calling for the halt in allowing Muslims into this country.

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

WTF???????? Turns out Clinton was right. You can watch it yourself.

Indeed. Trump wants to stop them from entering without proper and through vetting while Clinton wants to open our borders and admit all comers.

..and the diseases they bring such as TB as the most common one. BTW, the U.S. was free of TB and they brought it back in... It is a blatant violation of immigration laws since those require health screening for immigrants...

I couldn't agree more, many things were better back then although I'm not old enough to say I experienced the 50's.

From time to time I go back to the place I grew up until the age of 7. I remember people walking the streets at night with their children. People on the porch during the summer having conversations. Sleeping at night with the door unlocked and open, and not many people had a gun back then.

Everybody knew each other because the only entertainment back then was a black and white television about the size of a computer screen today. You only got three channels. During the summer, they played reruns which nobody wanted to watch, so everybody spent their time outside.

Nearly every child had a stay-at-home mother. McDonald's was a special treat--not a weekly staple. Everyday was a home cooked meal day. If you wanted to see a new movie, you went out and watched one at a movie theater, or for a real treat, your parents took you to the Drive-In.

Because most families were one car families and mom stayed home, food and beverages were delivered to your home. We had the milk man, the juice man, the grocery store man, even the Charles Chip man.

Today, I sleep with a gun in my headboard. Few people know their neighbors because they stay inside of their home year round. kids are consumed with video games, the internet, and even their very own cell phone, so many sit around home and get fat. They are not as respectful of their elderly like when I was a child. Kids feared their elders like teachers and police, and had the utmost respect for them as they were raised to do. Today, kids attack teachers and police.

Women were women and men were men. We only had two sexualities back then, not the dozens we have today according to Face Book. Today weirdos wear dresses because they think they are women, and now (thanks to liberals) those weirdos are in your daughters bathrooms and showers. Women wore the dresses and they didn't have tattoos up and down their arms and legs.

I remember those days..

My mom would be waiting for us after school with cookies and milk and would vacuum in a pearl necklace
My brother Wally and I would go out and play with our friends Lumpy, Eddie and Whitey
My dad would come home and sit around in a jacket and tie and tell us how disappointed he is in us

Donald Trump’s supporters are far more likely to be nostalgic.

Americans are close to evenly split on whether the U.S. has gotten better or worse in the past 60 years, according to a new survey from the nonprofit organization PRRI.

Fifty-one percent say that American culture and way of life have worsened since the 1950s, while 48 percent say they have changed for the better.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton supporters are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Seventy-two percent of likely Trump voters think things have changed for the worse, while about 70 person of Clinton voters think things have changed for the better.

“This election has become a referendum on competing visions of America’s future,” Robert P. Jones, PRRI’s CEO, said in a statement. “Donald Trump supporters are nostalgic for the 1950s, an era when white Christians in particular had more political and cultural power in the country, while Hillary Clinton supporters are leaning into ― and even celebrating ― the big cultural transformations the country has experienced over the last few decades.”

Democrats, millennials, black Americans and people who aren’t affiliated with any religion ― all groups that are largely backing Clinton ― are among the most likely to think that things have improved. Republicans, white evangelical Protestants and members of the white working class ― groups that have shown more support for Trump ― are the most likely to express nostalgia for the 1950s.

“We argue over whether we’re divided by race, class, gender or religion,” columnist E.J. Dionne said Tuesday at a panel discussing the poll’s release. “What’s really scary about this poll is that we are divided by all of the following: class, race, gender and religion. We are deeply divided by these things.”

A similar survey question from Pew Research found that Trump and Clinton supporters are also divided over how life has changed specifically for “people like them” ― Clinton supporters say by a 40-point margin that it has gotten better over the past 50 years, but Trump supporters say by a 70-point margin that it’s gotten worse.

I miss a lot of things from the good ole days - and a lot of things I don't miss. It's no surprise that whites in the above chart perceive things as worse. I guess they are afraid - because they'll soon be a minority. Hispanics are slowly reclaiming their stolen birthright and rising up as a powerful political force. We Native Americans are just watching the show.

looks like the uneducated crackas lead the way, not the future of America

Over 60 years of Democratic government assistance programs for minorities and poor neighbourhoods and the ghettos continue to get worse.
Yet people keep voting for it.

The 50s were Grand Old times

If you got on a bus and it was full, you could tell a negro to give you their seat
If a kid looked like a sissy, you could beat him up and then claim he made a pass at you
You could beat your wife and kid if you were in the mood
Women knew their place
Minorities knew what neighborhoods they were welcome in
All high paying jobs and management positions were reserved for white, Christian men

No wonder the Grand Old Party misses it

Nobody said everything back then was perfect, but we lost a lot of things throughout time.

If my internet or cable television goes out for one day, I think it's the end of the Fn world. I love our modern conveniences and very happy I was here during the technology revolution.

But again, as great as things are today, we have our problems just like people did back in the 50's. There was never a time when everything was perfect, and there never will be a time when that happens.

Such is the reactionary right: fearful of change, diversity, and inclusion, hostile to expressions of individual liberty and dissent.

The fear, ignorance, and hate common to most conservatives is the bane of the American Nation – we can’t be rid of it too soon.

The difference between the liberals and conservatives is that we have the sense to see when something is going wrong, it may be time to change back.

Take Commie Care for instance. A complete failure. Prices rising at an alarming rate. Insurance companies dropping out of it like flies. Deductibles so high that you'll never use that expensive insurance you're paying for. And what do dumb liberals want to do? Keep it.

Liberals want to move forward be it stupid or smart, just as long as they can say we're moving forward.

How many reasons would you like me to provide PROVING we're a regressive society? Make it reasonable.

Progressive is an antonym just like most liberal rhetoric intended to maintain control of mere sheep and dumb us down.

Yp everyone line up say the pledge allegiance like good little Americans. Then go to work for $15 bucksper hour and...and....be thankful for the job. Lmao big time.

That was some silly shit wasn't it? even if in the 50s one person in the family could work and achieve the American Dream for a family of four. So what, we are much better off today and people just don't realize it.
I like the fact that most families have to have two working parents, gives the children more freedom to get into things like drugs, theft etc... Hell with the old days when mom was home to make sure you acted right and the mot feared words were, "wait till your father gets home" much better to day when there is no father to wait on.
And the pledge? screw that, I find it much quicker and much more inclusive to have replaced that with metal detectors at the schools doors and drug dogs and police roaming the halls all day.
And about the police, Its much more fun to shoot and kill them instead of having them know you by name, and then having to be friendly with them.
And as far as that white Christmas thing? screw that too, I think its much more festive to have no reference to a Christian God, It just confuses kids when the hear the call to war from the muslims right before they blow your shopping mall up.
Liberals are a sickness in our country.
I say we go back to the 50s but this time we include the blacks instead of making them 2nd class citizens.
The 50s were without question a much better time to be alive in this country. like I said, the only thing about the 50s that needed changing was the general view and treatment of blacks. I think if they would have been included in society as equals, we would have been much farther along as a nation today.

That's why I said bring the blacks along with us this time.
Was a great time for white women too. But face it, when you have 100 jobs and 100 families, and only dad has to work. what happens when suddenly one day mom can or has to work too and there are still only 100 jobs.
Unemployment goes up to 50% and the pay scale can be dropped because people are desperate for work.
It works two ways.
