Ok. Fine. Let’s talk about the “Muslim ban.” The very predictable beginning of this conversation is that Trump’s travel ban is not and never was a ban on Muslims. It is a travel ban on a very short list of countries that have extreme political volatility and are known breeding grounds for the most powerful, extreme and anti-American terrorist organizations in the known world. That these countries happen to be majority Muslim is not Trump’s fault.
More to the point, the ban exists for all citizens of said countries. Race, religion and creed are not factors here. It’s a simple security issue. Major terrorist attacks are far more likely to originate from these locations than any other, and so the travel ban makes it easier for intelligence communities to stay ahead of disaster.
That’s why the Supreme Court upheld the ban. Trump is well within his authority, and the ban itself contains nothing inherently discriminatory. That’s evidenced by the fact that more than 97 percent of all Muslims in the world are completely unaffected by the ban. But, getting a liberal to admit even a single one of those points is more difficult than finding a working example of socialism.
This, like every other liberal issue, boils back down to unfettered hypocrisy. They’re just plain out of control, and you can see that in obvious, unmistakable terms in this video with CNN Host Jake Tapper and Muslim Rep. Keith Ellison. Take a look.
