What is the meaning of the word "vetting"? Does the tRUmp Admin have any level of competence? Is their talent pool that challenged & limited? This is how corruption flourishes.
At the risk of my own personal profile. I'm going to agree on the Islamic part. It's a sad, unfortunate truth that the Middle East is the home of dead bodies. Literally, a graveyard of a continent with no value. You'd have to go all the way back to AD to find when they were an actual, living civilization. The downfall began with the Inquitision and the coup de grace of whatever culture was left was the Fall of Ottoman. That doesn't mean to mistreat them, or to ban Muslims in general. Just terrorist-affiliated persons. It's just the reality of their culture. They can try to blame that on European colonialism. But the African/ME wars were largely without European players. They did this destructive vice to themselves.

Can't excuse the man for his absurd comments about Blacks, but he hit the nail on the head with Islam. No question he had to go.
Agreed. Someone like that can't exactly hold a faith-based position. Oh, and to make it clear: I denounce his views on Blacks. I don't think Blacks are overly bad people(in much the same way Whites aren't either.) I think that there are economic and socio-economic challenges that face the Black Community that requires assistance, not put-me-downs.
I dont see how you can blame the appalling conditions in black neighborhoods on ayone except for blacks themselves
Are there not whites in the major cities who face the same economic and socio-economic challenges that the blacks do but do not do the same things blacks do?
WTH? Please don't splatter me with derangement spittle. Try to keep calm and rational long enough to either specifically reply to my comments or perhaps just pass them by.
I agree that people need to take responsibility for their own actions. However, I also believe Blacks have been screwed by the Democratic Party for decades, and by the race hustlers in Congress and in the public. I believe that has led to terrible conditions and attitudes in Black communities that are exacerbated by people who constantly feed the excuse routine. With few jobs, and poor economic opportunities, and these days, full support by the left for illegal aliens, the problem has only got worse. I think when Blacks are used as a tool for political gain, one can't dismiss the impact that has on their communities.
LOL No, that's not even close. Try again and see if you can figure out what I was saying, especially in the post you just replied to.
The post is fµ*kin Center for Faith-Based & Neighborhood Partnerships and you put a racist islamophobe at the head of it? I guess we'll call that par for the course, after all Trump has appointed a secretary of education, or energy, of the EPA etc... that are completely anathema to the posts they hold. Just one more to ad to the list....
OK, so this guy said Black Americans had turned "major cities into slums because of laziness, drug use and sexual promiscuity." How much of that statement is incorrect...? And, Islam, a "Religion of Peace"?! . It never has been a "Religion of Peace", as anyone who has ever pored through verses of the Quran describing what Muslims are commanded to do to "Infidels" knows very well... not just hundred of years ago, but TODAY, in the 21st-century. You see the violence committed by "Peaceful Islam" somewhere in the world on a continuing, almost constant basis. You don't need to be clairvoyant to figure this out -- Muslims are not (NOT) hypocrites -- they actually believe, and practice this stuff: https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx
According to the liberals and Marxists of Washington, everyone eneds to have been perfect forever or PC culture dictates they be fired. Bumped into a girl once, on accident? You're a molester. If I ever ran for office I am sure they would dig up my comments about black culture in America and claim I'm racist.
That's not the point. The point is that any slight in the past is condition for termination in the future. It sets a dangerous precedent and we all know it.
