“Republican” Establishment Presses The Panic Button

“THE DONALD” SQUARELY IN THE CROSSHAIRS …

The “conservative” media failed to take him out.  His closest rival is in a free fall.  And the best hope of the “Republican” establishment is cruising for a bruising, if the rumor mill is to be believed.

Oh, and we’re now less than two months away from the Iowa Caucuses …

What’s the “Republican” party to do about Donald Trump?

From The Wall Street Journal …

Liz Mair, former online communications director for the Republican National Committee, created a limited liability company in October called Trump Card LLC – a super PAC that could collect unlimited funds from individual donors.

The anti-Trump effort is focusing on the two states hosting the earliest nominating contests, Iowa and New Hampshire. In an e-mail to supporters, Ms. Mair said the group has reached out to 150 churches in Iowa, 50 community leaders in New Hampshire and media outlets in both states. She said the group is circulating opposition research about his business record, support for socialized medicine and position on abortion, including recent comments in which he declined to say definitively whether the Supreme Court decision legalizing most abortions should be overturned.

“Where Trump is concerned, many are alarmed at what he says and believes with regard to topics like these when they learn where he really is on these matters,” Ms. Mair said in the e-mail, which was sent before Mr. Trump released his proposal to ban Muslims’ entry to the U.S.

Right … because the GOP establishment is clearly a model of ideological consistency (ahem).

Anyway, “Republicans” have tried this before … and it didn’t work.  And while we’re not saying Trump doesn’t have a helluva lot to answer for (he does) … the GOP has lost all credibility when it comes to calling anyone out.  On anything.

If they want to take Trump out, they’re going to have to actually kill him … which at this point we wouldn’t put past them.

with about 17% of registered republicans voting in the primaries and trump getting 34% of those voters kinda says most republicans are just fine with Hillary in the white house, that 83% sitting on their arses could take the donald out of the running in the first primary.

Two questions. 1) who stands to gain the most from a Trump nomination? I think Sarah Palin who’d have a lock on the VP slot. 2) who is gaining the most from his campaign so far? I’d say the GOP main stream. They’re saving all of their campaign funds for the real race that starts in Feb. Can’t you hear them chanting, “GO, DONALD, GO”!

Guess NC is no longer the upcoming progressive state or PPP only called people in rural counties. Latest PPP Poll has Trump leading with 33% and the below nuggets-

Trump’s Islamophobia is a central feature of his appeal to his supporters:
-67% of his voters support a national database of Muslims in the United States, to only 14% opposed to it.
-62% believe his claims that thousands of Arabs cheered in New Jersey when the World Trade Center collapsed, to only 15% who don’t believe that.
-51% want to see the Mosques in the country shut down, to only 16% against that.
-And only 24% of Trump supporters in the state even think Islam should be legal at all in the United States, to 44% who think it shouldn’t be.

The dangers of Sharia Law in America were first outlined in a 2010 study produced by the Center for Security Policy (CSP) titled “Sharia: The Threat to America“, a 352-page book based on authoritative sources of Islamic law. While sharia includes strict rules for prayer and fasting, it is also an all-encompassing legal and political code that covers all aspects of life including those that have nothing to do with religion. – See more at: http://nationalreport.net/city-michigan-first-fully-implement-sharia-law/#sthash.FCiEhXuO.dpuf

Not just refugees, but non-refugees too. He has some other good advice, don’t limit it to Muslims because the Muslims will just claim to be Christians. via Texas Imam Agrees with Trump: Halt Syrian Refugees into America

A Texas Imam agrees with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s controversial suggestion that America set-up a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” until further investigation can be done. The Imam also said there should be a ban of Syrian refugees of any religion.

The Imam, Nidal Alsayyed, who leads a Beaumont, Texas, mosque agrees with both Donald Trump and Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

Actually, yes, many do. Most far right Christians really don’t believe in freedom of religion. They believe in the right to practice Christianity any way you see fit. They want the US to be a Christian nation, not a nation of all faiths being equal in the eyes of the law. They are the same people who want to return prayer to schools, but would go crazy if at 5 o’clock each day, the school broadcast a Muslim prayer. The same people who have no problem with us having a Christmas parade and playing Christmas carols in the streets of our cities, but would go ballistic if we broadcast Muslim prayers in the streets, or had a city funded parade honoring Mohamed. So yes, they have no problem with discriminating against non-Christians.

1- Jihad, defined as “to war against non-Muslims to establish the religion,” is the duty of every Muslim and Muslim head of state (Caliph). Muslim Caliphs who refuse jihad are in violation of Sharia and unfit to rule.

2- A Caliph can hold office through seizure of power meaning through force.

3- A Caliph is exempt from being charged with serious crimes such as murder, adultery, robbery, theft, drinking and in some cases of rape.

4- A percentage of Zakat (charity money) must go towards jihad.

5- It is obligatory to obey the commands of the Caliph, even if he is unjust.

– A caliph must be a Muslim, a non-slave and a male.

7- The Muslim public must remove the Caliph if he rejects Islam.

8- A Muslim who leaves Islam must be killed immediately.

9- A Muslim will be forgiven for murder of: 1) an apostate 2) an adulterer 3) a highway robber. Vigilante street justice and honor killing is acceptable.

10- A Muslim will not get the death penalty if he kills a non-Muslim, but will get it for killing a Muslim.

11- Sharia never abolished slavery, sexual slavery and highly regulates it. A master will not be punished for killing his slave.

12- Sharia dictates death by stoning, beheading, amputation of limbs, flogging even for crimes of sin such as adultery.

This has nothing to do with my point. In fact it supports my point, that most right wing Christians don’t believe in freedom of religion.

Besides most of these things are not significantly different from the laws of Moses as set out in the Old Testament.

• An increasing number of public American schools with Muslim students are holding Islamic prayers towards Mecca while public American universities continue to build Muslim-only washing facilities. In 2013, Skokie School District 68 in Illinois became the first US school district to celebrate Eid al-Adha, a Muslim high day, as a school holiday, in lieu of Veterans Day. In 2014, Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins, Colorado became the first high school to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic, replacing “One nation under God,” with “One nation under Allah.”
