So instead of reassuring the girl that she's one of us, and that America doesn't deport citizens because of their faith, people are just reinforcing the lies she's been told. The lie that Donald Trump (not my favorite person) is some kind of monster, that will deport her. They're telling her that they're getting ready to "fight the bad guys." In other words, they're telling a frightened girl that they're going to start a war over immigration policy. This is supposed to be a good thing?   ;/

Interesting how so many of your former military colleagues seem to disagree with you, Fistful.  I wonder who the outlier is.

hate to say it, millcreek, but fistful has a point.

the message should be that the child has nothing to fear because there is nothing for her to fear. Instead, they are telling her that she needs protection, so obviously, there is something she should fear if she needs to be protected from it.  =|

as far as the military persons involved in this... you don't think they aren't immune from teh stupidz? because I can probably still find a few of those "Veterans for Obama" stickers driving around.

The intricacies of fear politics and immigration vs. residency vs. citizenship might be lost on an 8 year old.

A bunch of folks whose job it is to be scary telling her she is safe is pretty clear. 

Not everything on Twitter needs to have social nuance. (I can't believe I had to write that.)

Mayhap if the adults in her life weren't saying that Trump "wants to kick out all Muslims" we could avoid all of this.  It's not like she stayed up late to watch the debates.  As usual A huge majority of our fellow voters are being played, and are playing the fools.

OK, sure, but some of them are going about it much the wrong way. I mean, she also doesn't understand things like "I will defend the Constitution." Instead of "I will protect you from the bad guys," they could just as easily explain "No one's going to hurt you. It's all lies."

I would bet even money that it's not the adults in her life as much as it's a classmates parent and the classmate is a bully. It just sounds like one of those things a kid comes home from school with.

GOP front runner Donald Trump has been escalating his racism and anti-Muslim sentiment, and it's definitely not making America great again.

First sentence is a bunch of bullshit.

That's where I stop reading.

I'm not even a Trump fan but I will not align myself with his enemies nor support their narrative to bring him down.

It appears (if he is to be believed) Trump is closer to an ally than the Republican establishment let alone the Dems (spits).

edited to add: I am 100% opposed to any immigration from Muslim ruled countries unless it can be categorically be proven the immigrant was Christian or another persecuted minority. Also I might be convinced to support immigration of Muslims from secular democracies if it could be shown that there was actually vetting taking place.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

A little googling shows that The Donald said no such thing.  He talked about not allowing muslim immigrants in until we get a handle on things.  He talked about maintaining a database of people here on visas and immigrants (which makes me wonder why we are not doing that now.)

He has never said anything about deporting all muslims or American citizens.  However, since the leftist media enjoys putting words in people's mouths we get the above.

Even hyper liberal wonkette castigates her fellow lefties in the media over it:

Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

Well, it is clear that you have never had children.

Oh, explain that one to me, guru. When someone tells blatant lies to a very young child, giving her a very real fear of being dragged out of her home by soldiers, you're supposed to respond by confirming that it could happen, but some people on the internet said some reassuring words? You shouldn't instead tell her it's a pack of lies, and will never happen (which is also the truth)?  Really?

Well, I give up. I better never have kids, if I can't be a rocket scientist like yourself.

Seems more to me like publicity seeking parents using their daughter's fear (real or fictional) to push their own political agenda.  Cases like that tend to make me look to the parents as the genesis of the kid's concerns.

It must be the cat fur in my eyes that is making the monitor blurry.

Is it a muslim cat?  Because Trump sez he's gonna deport it to Vietnam to "live on a farm."

Ya think?

I wonder if she even has a daughter. (Well, OK, not really. But still. The mendacity of the Left is bottomless.)

It goes back to the 'Palin can see russia from her porch' lie that liberals falsely attributed to her.  Their M.O. since has been to shotgun lies about conservatives so that conservatives have to waste their time and money debunking them.

It is a good thing that conservatives would never exploit children for political purposes.  I also saw his commercial during 'SNL' using his children and received the email blast asking for the $ 1 million.

There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I keep reiterating this daily it seems.  Our nation can survive corrupt politicians.  I have some trepidation whether we can survive the corrupt politicians when the MSM is in the corrupt politician's pocket staffed by useful idiots and out and out liars.
