The disingenuous efforts of the right-winged media with their false narrative to discredit the water protectors apparently knows no bounds. It is almost as sad as their lack of knowledge of Native American ceremonies and traditions. It is ceremonial burning.

Oh, you want to talk false narrative?
Maybe I will do "muh Pipeline" after all.

I would post a certain pic of the First Lady but the mods wont allow soft inappropriate contentography.

Are you being a sex-negative feminist?!

Lol. It would seem that way, wouldn't it?

Actually, I really like Melania and have nothing against her, nor am I one to ever complain when beautiful women pose nude.

I just find it funny the very same party of "family values" that complained about Michelle Obama's bare shoulders just a few years ago has evolved to support a centerfold First Lady.

It wasn't the "image" of women that was the problem, it was his putative treatment of them - bragging about grabbing them by their private parts without permission which many women confirmed he did. And gawking at beauty contestants getting dressed, because he could.

Apparently they forgot that it was mostly saudis and no one from a country on the travel ban.

...and this is relevant how?

...seriously?

No, really... how is that even a question?

Because this is not the place to post memes?

1.) That meme made to reference to the travel ban.
2.) It's about the creed, not the nationality.

Is that what anyone was talking about?

But you and yours have spent the last month weeping tears of blood trying to convince people the travel ban was about nationality, not creed. Does this mark the official dropping of that particularly transparent pretext?

I honestly thought he had made a mistake, since he didn't quote a poster.

Strictly speaking, it was. The travel ban, after all, didn't even mention Islam, which means, ipso facto, that it was about nationality, not creed. I knew that when Trump called for an end to Muslim immigration, he wasn't talking about requiring people to eat a ham sandwich before being allowed in. He was talking about country-specific immigration bans, which the US has imposed before, and are more practical in any case.

The major reason for the undesirability of immigration from that part of the world into the West is all about their adherence to a creed that is fundamentally hostile to our civilization's basic customs.

 

[Vylo]

Because the statement is to never forget, but apparently Trump forgot who even attacked us.

Muslims attacked us.

So it WAS nationality, not creed? Which brings us right back to where we started, that the 9/11 hijackers were mostly Saudis, thus would't have bee effected by the travel ban.

 

[Armoured]

Muslims attacked us.

But the protest is in relation to the travel ban, right?

Further, you can stop mischaracterising Muslims as a single homogeneous block of hive minded extremists just any time now.

 

[Vylo]

Muslims attacked us.

Muslims of a certain sect, from certain nations. The whole of Islam did not board jets and fly into the twin towers.

This would be akin to the Westboro baptist church launching an attack on China and then them declaring that Christians attacked them and are now evil and should never be helped....even if one christian sect is slaughtering others.

To be fair, that's a pretty good crowd for a Hillary rally in Omaha.
