maybe you better check again then. Australia first is effectively white political party. their views are as disgusting as the Mufti's but you don't fix that problem by outlawing them. Rise up Australia is a similiarly concerning party as are most of the religious christian based parties, makes me ashamed to be Australian that these groups exist here but really we are no better than most other western countries in this regard.

Actually it does not. If everyone voted for him, he'd be in. It's really that basic.

Me too.

Last time I checked none of those others listed (Pauline Hanson, Andrew Bolt, Tony Abbott, Alan Jones) had their citizenship revoked either, very tame indeed :P

Not sure Trump's proposal is any better or worse than someone like Lindsey Graham who wants to carpet bomb Syria and actually kill thousands upon thousands of people who are no threat to the USA whatsoever. Yet Graham has not received anythiing like the kind of public and media backlash. Yet his proposal is infinitely more barbaric.

I think Trump is a populist douche who is appealing to some of the worst segments and sentiments of society, but the level of criticism coming from some quarters smacks of hypocrisy. Somehow because discriminating against people based on religion is unconstitutional it makes it worse than bombing people because that is allowed in the constitution. In both cases innocent people are caught up in a conflict not of their making, only on the one hand their travel is restricted, on the other hand they're dead, or family members are dead, or they are missing body parts. In neither situation are the American people made any safer.

In my mind Trump was never qualified to be president, this latest rant from him merely confirms his lack of qualification to be the one who holds the keys to the nukes.

But was he actually wrong? I partly blame the Western world for the attacks in Paris, all the way back to the end of World War 1, the Western World has made various screw ups in its handling of the lands of the Middle East which progressively lead to greater levels of animosity towards Western powers AND conditions ripe for the formation of extremist groups. It does take two to tango, and the West has been tangoing plenty when it comes to the people of the middle east.

He is clearly pandering to a less-educated voter base and has no actual compehension of govermental mechanics, as evidenced by his lofty proposals that lack any reasonability (Mexico's wall, anyone?). His xenophobic rhetoric also exposes a fundamental lack of comprehension of the constitution, because the regulations against discrmination are explicitly and repeatedly enumerated. His "own" party, alongside the White House, disavowed itself of his statements today. Along with "Make America Great Again" and two absurd immigration proposals, what substantive plan has he proposed?

So? Does that mean that the majority shouldn't be allowed the same rights?

I'm sorry, but I am not stupid.  Thank you very much for your kind comment.

Please tell me didnt actually say that
