This isn't the right forum for this but among other things is his idea to pull us out of Isolationism. I know its not a terrible thing, but i still don't like it. Also some of the actions he does just gives me the creeps. I mean who calls their sister the love of his life? I dont feel like going too far into this, as it rarely ends good.

Free will. I know that I should, however, that could result in poor choices. I'd rather not act like those religious fanatics you see protesting abortion clinics or acting out with drama. I guess its against the Word of God, but I will pay for that when the time comes, however I will not let myself cloud my own judgement due to something that should remain separated from politics.

There's something to be said about not enforcing your religion on others, and on top of this you can vote for someone who is an atheist and not even a Christian but would be good for the country. The idea you must vote for a Christian or someone who embodies the perfect Christian spirit is silly, and the point of being a Christian is to forgive, to recognize no-one is perfect and accept people regardless of their imperfections, not to strive for someone who meets arbitrary criteria of being the best Christian. Alexander Hamilton said, if men were angels, there would be no need for government.

Free Will being an excuse for blatant inconsistency is pretty damning of your ability to rationalise issues.

So many that there has never been a terrorist attack by a Chad citizen in the US, right?and large amounts of terrorists who dislike the west.
Secondly, the CATO institute study about illegal immigrants is wrong, as it ignores the totality of the Texas DHS data. I specifically actually even wrote up an article on this, although it's incomplete, and basically they only take the first set of data and ignore the rest, which is to say that they only include crimes from people who were previously known to be illegal immigrants, which is a very small sub-section of all illegal immigrants.
A quote: "The institute claims there is a homicide rate of 3.1 per 100,000 citizen for native citizens, while there is 2.6 for illegal immigrants, when based on the idea that illegal immigrants only committed 46 homicides per year. However, when the total figures of all illegal immigrant homicides are recorded and not just by those known to be illegal immigrants prior to their arrests, or a figure of 162 convictions, this results in a real homicide conviction rate of approximately 9.1 per 100,000 citizens for illegal immigrants, in comparison to 3.1 per 100,000 for native citizens, or figures that are about three times higher. It is clear that by using incomplete data they make illegal immigrant homicides look lower than they really are, which is a blatant misrepresentation of the data."

Being guided by your religious principles in making political decisions is not the same as enforcing your religion on others.

Indeed there was. Again, seems you want to start something at this point. If you look, i said I dislike trump, but only less then i dislike biden.
An excuse of course. Or just maybe I dont want to mix my ideas. How would you know what I want? And inconsistency? I don't believe ive been inconsistant. I've stuck to the same thing i always have, don't mix ideas, Even if its deemed against what you are supposed to believe.

It's taken broadly out of context, and stretched to mean something it clearly doesn't. He's trying to compliment his daughter, and people have twisted it to mean something it clearly doesn't mean.

Sniffing little girls on air is not.

Slow down, there's a difference between nations having high crime rates and people coming from those countries being part of that enterprise. In addition, I can think of plenty of more violent countries than the ones included in the ban, so why these countries specifically?Manokan Republic wrote:and large amounts of terrorists who dislike the west.
Boom boom! We got a winner! found the actual reason.

Again, this isn't actually a good reason for those specific nations being included. Why those nations and not, say... Brazil... or South Africa... or anywhere else with way higher crime rates?
The obvious reason he banned those countries is that they have Muslim asylum seekers and Trump didn't want Muslim asylum seekers in the US, as that would piss off his base.

He's trying to compliment his daughter by saying, if he could, he would? In what was is that not creepy?
I mean... here's the video...

Unethical for not combining my religion with my politics. What a state we are in. What isn't complicated is how bad this ideology is. Do not try to force how you believe something should be handled onto someone else. Anyway, I see this getting more and more heated. This conversation will end here.
Agree to Disagree.
