There is nothing normal about this, there is nothing justifiable about this. You want to be a collaborator? Fine, but don't be surprised when you get called out for it.

I posted nothing more than the fact that the countries were chosen by the Obama administration. There was already a list. No comparison of the limitations.

Realized it too late and didn't bother to change it because I wasn't coming back. Maybe that's what you'd prefer? I don't know why I'm still here. "Habit" i guess. I had it coming.

I pointed it out... That makes ME the bad guy?

All the Obama action did was require visitors from those countries to obtain a Visa ... it did not BAN them, it did not lead to Green card holders being banned, it did not create the serious problems we are seeing here. FFS, Rob... can't you see you are being LIED to?

In addition, per both Democratic and Republican national-security experts, the Trump order will only inflame the Muslim World. As ex-National Security Agency and CIA Director Michael Hayden tells NPR, "What we're doing now has probably made us less safe today than we were Friday morning before this happened, because we are now living the worst Jihadist narrative possible -- that there is undying enmity between Islam and West."</blockquote> This isn't stopping terrorists, this isn't making you safer, it is ENDANGERING you and american interests globally.

All the Obama action did was require visitors from those countries to obtain a Visa … it did not BAN them, it did not lead to Green card holders being banned, it did not create the serious problems we are seeing here.
