Islam is a problem...of that there is no doubt. Islam is about the subjugation of others, nothing else, and Christians are in their cross hairs.

As to the article...while some Muslin leaders denounced the Boston attack, that simple denouncement doesn't go far enough. The message against radical should be CONSISTENT and LOUD....and it is not.

Funny, the Left wants Trump to apologize for everything multiple times, yet they don't press the Muslin leaders to loudly and consistently denounce the violence of their Muslin brothers.

Until the Left demands that Muslins make it their focus to revise their religion, they can't be taken seriously about their fears regarding Christians.

Trump is the president elect. Muslan leaders are not.

Ahh...so the double standard continues.

Libs expect every conservative (actors, elected officials, spokespersons, ordinary people, Catholics, etc.) to be held to Lib standards, outed, marginalized, and made to heel under the weight of Liberal justice. But Libs don't bother to hold their dear friends (Muslin leaders, Hillary, the Saudis mistreating gays/wimmen, illegal immigrants, BLM protesters - it is how some people grieve - or any other supposedly oppressed group) accountable.

Face it, you simply deflected from the obvious.

Muslin leaders do not consistently hold their radicals accountable, and the Libs don't give a shIt. Libs protest their flavor of the day that they are told to be offended by. Heel liberals! Heel!

Hey! Here's an idea! Let's be honest about the whole damn thing!

For example: Not all muslims want to subjugate us. Too many muslims do and the ones that do are too close to, and receive support from the muslims in power. But it's apparently not enough for us to avoid doing business with them.

Indeed.

If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over... I believe in universal healthcare.

Well, then...Obama failed miserably...and Hillary would have been worse.

But, the majority of the Libs didn't bother to call out Obama on his war mongering, or Hillary on her dealings. But they sure want to hold Trump accountable. That is why they are so retarded...double standard.

Speaking of appointments, Jeff Sessions might be one of the dumbest politicians in America...I hadn't heard his KKK-weed accusation until recently but that aside the rest of his views on the war on drugs are shear stupidity.

Trump is apparently going to nominate Elaine Chao (Mitch McConnell's wife) for Secretary of Transportation

Trump's nominee for Sec of the Treasury is apparently going to be his campaign finance chair, Steven Mnuchin.

With this nominee looks like Trump will be sticking to repeal & replace..

"Trump nominates Rep. Tom Price for HHS secretary

President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday the nomination of Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., to head the Department of Health and Human Services.

If confirmed by the Senate, Price will play a central role in Republican efforts to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Trump has pledged to move quickly on overhauling his predecessor's signature measure, but has been vague about what he hopes to see in a replacement bill.....

.....Last week, Price said whatever Republicans do to replace Obama's health care law will bear a "significant resemblance" to a 2015 measure that was vetoed by the president. That bill would have gutted some of the health care law's main features: Medicaid expansion, subsidies to help middle-class Americans buy private policies, the tax penalties for individuals who refused to get coverage and several taxes to support coverage expansion. The bill would have delayed implementation for two years.

Price insisted that Republicans can keep the protections for those with existing medical conditions without mandating that all individuals carry coverage or pay a penalty to support an expanded insurance pool. Price said Republicans want to address "the real cost drivers" of health care price spikes, which he said were not necessarily sicker patients, but a heavy regulatory burden, taxes and lawsuits against medical professionals."

Boy howdy! That swamp is safe for now!

You must really like politics to take a full time job like Ed Sec when you're a billionaire.

I'd be too busy flyfishing and overseeing the kalmway project at Roos Field.

Because the status quo was serving America's inner city children oh so well.

A pro vouchers person is the best thing that could possibly happen to the derelict inner city schools right now. I'm going to enjoy the outrage from the entitled public education admin who have literally done nothing to address the issues in public education. Expect a lot of screaming from the teachers unions (huge establishment donk contributors btw) for the next 4 years.

The problem, though, is that both sides tend to use the one solution for one specific situation and then leverage that over the entire landscape. Inner city schools, generally speaking, are failing and are in drastic need of fixing. Vouchers, or charter schools (or a combination of both - they aren't the same), could and do provide a means for students who can take advantage of them to escape the dead-end situation of the current school system. Democrats resisting this in deference to established teacher unions are doing a disservice to the children that could benefit by this.

However, the same voucher and charter system setup that can work so well in the inner cities where we're literally trying to rescue good students doesn't work as well outside of inner cities or other such education cesspools. Pulling kids and money and other resources out of otherwise perfectly acceptable public schools creates strains and issues in those existing schools and the system starts to break down. Vouchers tend to be a way for people who have already eschewed the public school system for various reasons (although frequently not because of the quality of it) to pay for something that they are already paying for anyway. Rich family decides to send Junior to a fancy prep school rather than the mundane local public high school sees the vouchers as a way to reduce the soaring tuition payments they need to make to keep Junior from having to mix with the masses. Republicans advocating this are doing a disservice to the schools that do work and even more so tar the good efforts in places like inner cities where these programs would work.

For me, vouchers and charters aplenty in places identified as educational disasters, and the public school system as we know it in places where it is working comparatively better. It doesn't need to be a one size fits all for either side of the argument.

And there's the rub: there are precious few "perfectly acceptable public schools" nowadays. That whole paragraph could've been scripted by the American Federation of Teachers.

Our daughter went to Charter School of Wilmington, which gives as good an education as any private school in the area, and thrived. By then , the local public high school that she would've attended (pre-choice) was going downhill fast. No regrets.

I hope DeVos is confirmed and cleans house at DOE.
