The problem is race identity. I don't think of myself first and foremost as "white", although I'm as vanilla as they come, with a mix of Irish, Scots, English, and French stretching back to the 1600s in America. People have allowed academia and the media to put them in boxes, stealing their individuality. If you can be determined to set aside race, and take each person as an individual, and insist they treat you the same, things get a lot easier.

very good point actually. so I wonder if we kill off the terrorists whether the "moderates" would care about that either. That would mean the moderates wouldnt care what we do, as long as we dont target the moderates themselves. It also would mean that appeasing the terrorist demands by stopping attacks against them will not work to stop terrorism. So Trump is right in a way- bomb the shit out of them, destroy their sources of money (oil), and simply take away their power to wage war.

I am the Tea Party. Sadly, I agree. You can only get punched in the gut so many times before you shy away. While tis not gone, it is discouraged and, I think, in a wait and see more. We need to see a positive result for all our efforts.

blarman... I think this is the reasoning Ben Carson replied as he did when asked if he could favor a muslim as president of the US. Absolutely not..!. Islam is incompatible with the U S Constitution.

Well said.

Agreed, and I think that was the point of the woman in the original video: if there is a "moderate" Muslim, they are part of the "irrelevant" portion of that religion.

Wish I could remember numbers like that lady!
She was fantastic!

Until Muslims denounce Sharia law and implement a reformation of their ideology I will never trust what is said by any Muslim. Their "religious " premise is antithetical to Western civilization. This is not debatable - it is the truth. Unveiling Islam is a great read. It explains everything.

Pretty sad that the muslims stick up for the terrorists. Says a lot. I say keep the damn Syrians out of the USA. WE dont need MORE muslims here

Here's a display some "peaceful Muslims" at a very recent soccer game.

Yep, that statement is the antithesis of O"Blabla and goody two shoes la la land libtards everywhere,.

I also consider and still consider myself a part of the tea party. I did not quit participating because I gave up. I believe many of us quite participating because we are too busy to waste time on unproductive projects. That fact that Obama was elected the second time proved to me that the American people were not going to listen to reason. I decided at that time to take care of my own needs and to prepare for tough times. It is my belief that nothing will change in this country until there is real hardship. IMHO, that is what happened to the tea party. They are waiting, saving energy to rebuild after the real tough times arrive.

I can tell you that when there is a group of white people doing bad, I certainly dont just sit around accepting it. They are making all white people look bad. The muslims should do the same IF they arent sympathizers in secret.

ALL muslims are BAD. It is not possible to be a muslim and an AMERICA. muslims are diametrically opposed to living harmoniously with ALL other people who happen to have a religious belief other than islam. There is ONLY one way to end their reign of terror and that is to DESTROY the total infrastructure of oil production in the middle east, NOTHING short of that will stop them. Do you think the saudi's are in anyway shape or form unhappy with what isis is doing, hell they probably finance them, the same holds true for every small middle east country like quatar as well. Does the western leadership have the guts to stand up to this menace as this woman did I doubt it. All the asses who walk the halls of congress have learned nothing and should have impeached 0 a few years ago, but they haven't the guts to acknowledge that he isn't a muslim sympathizer he is one and they all know it.

I like this actual research by Ben Shapiro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7TAA...

He says the same thing: that basically it is a myth that there even exists a peaceful/moderate majority.

I identify with the Tea Party and I think that they just gave up. The Tea Party propelled Republicans into landslide victories in both 2012 and 2014, but after the elections, none of the promises such as repealing Obamacare, stopping illegal amnesty, budget restraint, etc. ever came to fruition. I think the people are frustrated because they voted for Republicans with the expectation of a reversal of course, and all they have seen is a party so cowed by the media that they won't stand up and fulfill those promises.

I think we see this playing out in the Republican Presidential Primaries, where the top three are all non-establishment candidates and the top two aren't professional politicians. I would also note that Boehner's ouster and the rejection of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker were largely driven by Tea Party interests.

I think many of them gave up in disgust. They elected Republicans in a landslide both in 2012 and 2014, yet the promises to those very Tea Party patriots calling for limited government, and end to amnesty, and an end to Obamacare have seen those cries - which seemed to matter greatly during the elections - totally ignored by the Republicans in Congress. I know that sentiment holds for me, and judging by the way non-establishment candidates like Trump and Carson (and even Cruz) are leading the field in the Republican Presidential Primaries, I'd say that I'm not alone.

I dont like the fact that VERY few muslims seem to be upset by the jihadist wing of islam. That means to me that the majority of "peaceful" muslims secretly approve of, or at least dont disapprove of, the jihadist mentality and its roots in islam. This leaves me with the distinct impression that there is an underlying war between the muslim faith and anything else. This leads me to want to be free of control of islam over my life- and to live in a place free of muslims. Political correctness be damned.

For some reason the majority of Americans fail to look back in history to see the massive atrocities carried out in the names of various religions. People better start getting serious on this or it will be a bloodbath, unfortunately. Imagine that. Invaders come into a Puritan nation and say, "We are going to rape and kill you in the name of our religion" and something deep-down in the Puritans makes them sit there, mouth-agape, silent, and think, "Oh. Duh. Ok. Here's my throat." I recently heard one commentator say this is a cuckolding. I think he may be on to something...

Yes. I remember an intersection here in midtown Sacramento (16th and J) where there would be crowds of protesters on each corner holding signs against the war effort during Bush's tenure. I would always honk and give a thumbs up to them. When Obama was elected they vanished. I find that disturbing.

There are 350 million, or so, people in the world not only desiring to do just that but are willing to die in the process. Political correctness is a barrier to the only solution to this problem. Islam must be exposed as a violent and destructive religion that must have a reformation or we will have constant terrorist style wars. There are almost two billion Muslims that must come to an awaking because it will be impossible to eradicate them. Avoiding even speaking of the subject is delaying the inevitable and prolongs the jihad.

Lebanon my ass. They'd have to kill me first.

I have been considered to be a nut-case for saying that Islam is not compatible with Western Civilization. Never has been, never will be. If we don't cut the BS and realize this, we are going to become another Lebanon on a grand scale.

Not half bad, so thanks for reminding us. (This was posted first by NeilS about 17 months ago, see here: https://www.galtsgulchonline.com/post...

Brigitte Gabriel herself is an interesting study in controversy (Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigitt.... Here is the text of a speech she delivered at Duke October 15, 2004, from Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbo...

But Ayn Rand asked deeper questions. Gabriel was not focussed on why the "good Germans" or "good Japanese" or "good Russians" went along with the atrocities committed by a violent minority. The fact is that the violent minority only acted out in real life the ideas held by those so-called "good" people. It has been cogently pointed out that the protests against the Bush Administration policies of war, torture, and bailout disappeared when the same policies were carried out by the Obama Administration.

For a contrast that sheds light, consider the cooling of the Tea Party. You would think that they would be front and center with marches all over all the time. The reason that they are not active is that they really lacked any kind of coherent philosophy: they had no basis for their politics. Even in 2009, many felt that Social Security and Medicare were good programs. "In the aftermath of the 2012 American elections, some Tea Party activists have taken up more traditionally populist ideological viewpoints on issues that are distinct from general conservative views. Examples are various Tea Party demonstrators sometimes coming out in favor of U.S. immigration reform as well as for raising the U.S. minimum wage." -- Helling, Dave (May 17, 2014). "Tea party says it is winning the message war despite losing election battles". Kansas City Star. Retrieved May 18, 2014. Quoted in Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Par...

Brigitte Gabriel is right: we cannot defeat an ideology with bombs. Ayn Rand called this "the war for men's minds." It is the only kind that really matters.
