How ludicrous to suggest blocking Muslims from U.S.

During World War II we, in this country, tolerated the incarceration of millions of Japanese for no other reason than the slant of their eyes and the color of their skin. We were consumed by a false fear placed upon us by our leaders.

Let me ask a question: Why didn't we also lock up all the Germans at the same time? Simply because we could not identify them as being different from the rest of us. Think about this for a moment.

We now have a raving maniac running around creating fear in all of us by suggesting we will all be safer (like in World War II) if we stopped allowing a certain segment of the world's population from entering this country. What do we do next? Round up all the 6 million who still live in the USA and throw them all out as well?

Should you come up with a good idea on how to accomplish this, without violating the Constitution and finding $100 billion to make it happen, maybe then we can gather up all the non-desirable Hispanics at the same time and also throw them out. Once you do this, who will be next?

Hopefully, you will soon realize how ludicrous this all sounds, and then you will settle down and stop gathering and supporting this maniac.

The only reason he is in the news, on a regular basis, is because we go in droves to listen to his raucous behavior. Stop going and he will dry up like an old raisin left on the vine for just a little too long.

Ask this one important question of yourself: Can you really envision someone of his character diplomatically leading this great country for the next four years while attempting to garner relationships with all the mixed nationalities in the world today?
