“Donald Trump is running his first campaign ad for the general election, and it offers all the proof you’ll need that, in a fundamental sense, no meaningful change of approach can or will ever emanate from his campaign.
Because this is an ad, it’s professionally done and well-considered in its language — it’s not an off-the-cuff remark or full of anything so crazy that it will make lifelong Republicans cringe. But there’s nothing in here about free markets or traditional family values or America’s role as the world’s indispensable nation and guarantor of liberty.
Instead it’s a pretty simple proposition — Hillary Clinton will let foreigners kill you and Donald Trump won’t:”
Do people here have a position on the anti-veil anti-burka laws in Europe?
Seems it is becoming a bigger issue in Europe. I routinely see women wearing them in the areas I live and shop, and even at the beach and YMCA in the swimming burkas, so I don’t think much of it anymore unless it is the really big full black veils which is quite rare. The more “liberal” or “moderate” clothing that is basically like normal tight fitting clothes with with long sleeves/leggings and a hat is quite common now.
I”m opposed to people being compelled to wear certain clothing against their beliefs (as happens in the middle east when one or another regime comes into power), but I also was raised in a religious background that forbade certain kinds of clothing (even jewelry and buttons or “adornments”).I don’t think that people wearing certain clothes as a sign of their religious preferences should be illegal, I don’t really see how it presents some overwhelming public cause for regulation in a pluralistic society.
There are bigger fish for civil authorities to fry like honor killings.
So much for that economic populism crap.

Seems Manafort is out. Amazing it took this long for his past to catch up with him. He’s been a bad seed for decades.

They make no sense to me – it just seems like anti-Muslim bigotry.
