Carter Banned Iranians From Entering the US

[damngrumpy]

Not the same thing at all. Carter was involved in a State to Sate conflict of dispute.
Iran was holding hostages and threatening their lives after occupancy of the
Embassy this is a far cry from going after an entire people regardless of whether
they are in ISIS territory or not.
Carter may have acted a little Nationalistic Trump is little more than a fascist.
I do agree there has to be some scrutiny of who is coming in but everyone? That is
as crazy as saying he will deport Millions of people to Mexico or they will pay to build
his wall.

"That guy did something that might be wrong by today's standards so I'm allowed to do something wrong."

Conbot logic.

Apparently ES doesn't know the difference between a nationality and a religion. How cute!

What are you going on about? Geez you're bonkers.

So, you're comparing what Carter did to what Trump is "proposing"? Really? I can see the likes of Walter and boomer doing that, but I was SURE you were smarter than that.

The guy is a blowhard. But he sure has many of you all riled up. Man does he ever.

YOU think there should be SOME scrutiny? You're closer to Trump than you even know.

It isn't even necessarily wrong by today's standards. The U.S. was in a de facto war with Iran. They (and we) restricted if not completely closed off our borders to Germans, Italians and Japanese during WWII. To compare that with not allowing our NATO allies from Turkey in because of their religion is beyond ridiculous. ES is just silly.

Trump's comment was simply nationalistic and nothing more it would seem.


Thanks Machjo.

And religiously prejudiced.

I'll take that.

Now who is being silly?


You are that's who.

 

[Cannuck]

Don't fret it. You're not the first person to post something incredibly silly.
