That Donald Trump responded to those direct and pointed attacks is to be expected. He never disparaged Capt. Khan, and while his intimation that Mrs. Khan’s silence might be prompted by religious belief and practice was gratuitous and unnecessary, let’s stop pretending like there aren’t millions of Muslim household abroad and in the US in which such role-based gender inequality isn’t the norm and at odds and conflict with Western cultural tenets of full gender equality for women. If you disagree, Google “Women and Islam.” <br /><br />Let’s also not pretend like Mr. Khan’s comments are conscious distortions and misrepresentations of Trump policy positions. Trump does not currently have any policy proposal to temporarily ban all Muslims from migrating to the US and hasn’t for months. He has a policy to pause migrations from active terror nations, regardless of religion, until a lock stock vetting program can be developed by US authorities. His policy proposal on Syrian refugees is to prohibit refugee migrations to the US since ISIS has expressly stated its intentions to penetrate the refugee population, and has successfully done so already to get to other Western nations. But that’s not the end of his Syrian refugee proposal. It goes on to advocate for, as many before him have for 5+ years now and as Hillary herself currently advocates, creation of a No Fly Zone in region to afford refugees a protected in country space to reside until conflict is resolved. To suggest otherwise as Mr. Khan has done and is doing is to consciously distort the Trump position. Suggesting Trump hasn’t read the Constitution is another consciously slanderous distortion. And regarding the wall along the border with Mexico, the Trump policy position is the wall is to thwart illegal immigration in a manner that builds on already existing fencing blockades along the border. Trump has always strongly supported legal immigration from Mexico and elsewhere. Legal. Again Mr. Khan and his dem puppeteers are consciously distorting this Trump position for their own political purposes. Not complaining…that’s politics. But let’s call a spade a spade, shall we?<br /><br />Finally, the Trump campaign release a full statement on the Khan family matter on Saturday not that you’d know if by media coverage of the event. In that statement he lauded Capt. Khan and all fallen soldiers of all faiths as heroes. He expressed sympathies for the parents’ pain and suffering. And he rightly defended his right to set the record straight against the distortions of his positions. All seems abundantly fair and appropriate in my 30+ years of adult observations of political give and take.<br /><br />So count me among the dullards who believe Hillary to be eminently disqualified for the position for the reasons you cite. Donald is a non-politician speaking directly and plainly which also means speaking sometimes inappropriately. But nothing he’s said in stream of consciousness this entire campaign offends as much as all that Hillary has done in office to dissemble and lie to Benghazi families, State, FBI, Congress, and the public, offends as much as all the clear quid pro quo self-enrichment Hillary has undertaken while in office giving lip service to principles of good governance, avoidance of conflicts and transparency.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
