This group believes Islam threatens America: Its a spiritual battle of good and evil.

“We are on the verge of playing the most pivotal role in reversing the significant damage that has been done to our nation’s security and well-being over the past eight years,” ACT’s founder, Brigitte Gabriel, wrote in a December solicitation for donations.

Stephen K. Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart who has described Muslim American groups as “cultural jihadists” bent on destroying American society, is Trump’s chief strategist. Breitbart has published several articles Gabriel has written. Trump’s CIA Director, Mike Pompeo, has spoken at ACT’s conferences and sponsored an ACT meeting at the Capitol last year.

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, who sits on ACT’s board of advisers, served as the president’s national security adviser before stepping down after revelations that he might have violated the law in communications with a Russian diplomat.

In the first days of his presidency, Trump signed an executive order temporarily banning travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries — and all refugees — from entering the United States, an order that has been put on hold as it faces court challenges.

The Trumpster has surrounded himself with bigots, racists, and radical right-wing extremists who are trying to pit Americans against each other.

He is the King of the Crazies, and his followers are slobbering all over him because they smell the blood on his hands.

these peoples' eagerly-sought-after Armageddon happens. We'll all be fucked just because they see history culminating in a huge free-for-all between western 'christianity' and Islam Jihadists. Both groups are profoundly full of shit.

Our best bet, if we really want to 'win' the 'war on terror' is to create a worldwide middle class. Virtually everybody is willing to work hard, and people who feel they can get ahead by working hard will do so. They will not be killing innocent people for obscure religio-economic reasons.

This is why guys like Bannon are every bit as dangerous as guys like Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Bin Laden, and the rest of the idealogues.

Because you know what people REALLY want? It isn't some ideology. It is enough. A good job. A decent place to live. Health care. A pension for their old age. Clean air. Clean water. Decent schools. Opportunity. Unfortunately to achieve this, we must get rid of the big capitalists, the religious ideologues, and other fanatics.

We're going to need a lot more straight jackets to round all these lunatics up. That, plus huge vats of Thorazine; we won't worry about reusing syringes. No need in such an emergency.

Full employment in the straight jacket and syringe factories!!!

8. Why does Trump allow known dangerous refugees into our country?

Feb 2017

The Donald says because he does not get his “Muslim ban” (his own words), there is a flood of dangerous refugees coming in.

Trump has the authority to stop individual dangerous refugees.

Why does Trump allow ‘known’ dangerous refugees into our country?

to take back our holy land. Let's call it the "Crusade". Yeah, that's the kind of progressive mentality we need.

Except this time around our "holy land" is more of an ideal nation built on super far right "christian" ideology.
