Breitbart: Everything said about President Trump’s “Muslim ban” is a lie — including that it’s a Muslim ban.
The New York Times wore out its thesaurus denouncing the order: “cruelty … injury … suffering … bigoted, cowardly, self-defeating … breathtaking … inflammatory … callousness and indifference” — and that’s from a single editorial!
Amid the hysteria over this prudent pause in refugee admissions from seven countries whose principal export is dynamite vests, it has been indignantly claimed that it’s illegal for our immigration policies to discriminate on the basis of religion.
This is often said by journalists who are only in America because of immigration policies that discriminated on the basis of religion.
For much of the last half-century, Soviet Jews were given nearly automatic entry to the U.S. as “refugees.” Entering as a refugee confers all sorts of benefits unavailable to other immigrants, including loads of welfare programs, health insurance, job placement services, English language classes, and the opportunity to apply for U.S. citizenship after only five years.
Most important, though, Soviet Jews were not required to satisfy the United Nations definition of a “refugee,” to wit: someone fleeing persecution based on race, religion or national origin. They just had to prove they were Jewish.
This may have been good policy, but let’s not pretend the Jewish exception was not based on religion.
If a temporary pause on refugee admissions from seven majority-Muslim countries constitutes “targeting” Muslims, then our immigration policy “targeted” Christians for discrimination for about 30 years.
Never heard a peep from the ACLU about religious discrimination back then! more

@Ynot, sorry I posted on the wrong story.
If they’re THIS pissed off about the “muslim ban” then how pissed off are they going to be when a policy actually affects them? They’ll have used up all their hype on this issue and will have no other recourse except to resort to total violence. That’s when the shooting begins.
I wish people who work for and support Pres. Trump would stop going on these dishonest programs. It’s dignifies the lies, I am not ok with that
In order to beleive this is a Mulsom ban you have to suspend rational thinking.
People in there ‘right’ mind don’t read the NYT.
Check out the gothimist.com. Its now a Trump hating site. 90% of the articles.
I know it was always a Trump hating site.

I love Ann Coulter as I would love my sister. Even under the highest pressure from critics with opposing views this woman remains focused, calm and dignified.
@Friend of the Family, I share your admiration for Ann. No matter what the left throws at her, she remains calm, composed, and in perfect possession of her self.
