Muslims in the US are not opposed to democracy and to post a fake meme doesn't help your position.

The photo production was revealed on the photo itself. It does not relieve the notice to be cautionary. Not all want to assimilate. Not all are willing to work, because work interferes with their religion. Perhaps not an issue for you, but it is an issue for people who provide jobs.

The Republican tax "reform" legislation that Trump, McConnell and Ryan are attempting to rush through Congress even before it receives a CBO score, has been characterized as a $1.5 trillion+ windfall for the large multinationals and the wealthiest 1%.

This is tantamount to yet a another compulsory government "charitable" donation to the rich, under the guise of stimulating the economy - despite repeated economic studies indicating that tax cuts to the wealthy does not "trickle down" to benefit the middle and lower socio-economic classes!

No only is this being financed with borrowed money (China, Japan, Ireland, Brazil, Cayman Islands, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, India) that will further burden future generations, but it is also occurring during the middle of a "bull market" - where the DOW has reached record highs.

Tax change rushed through Congress? Hurry up, Slow down? Not all are satisfied when it comes to taxation.

A "charitable donation" to the rich? That's funny, somehow thinking the government is "charitably donating" government funds to the rich.

And then - recognizing the government borrows money ~ quick on the draw to notice the Fed debt increasing exponentially for 90 years, with Truman setting the precedence.
The government produces NOTHING, and their treasury echos, it's so broke.
The gov't has the authority to collect taxes. Because the government "spends" on credit, doesn't mean the burden to pay the government's "bills" rests on the responsibility of wealthy individuals! And funny how the majority of complainers are the ones who often do not ADD the treasury, but rather whine because they do not get enough out of the treasury.

That someone used a photo from a Dwebs site to make a fake Meme which totally misrepresents Muslims in Dearborn does not change the fact that YOU used it to misrepresent Muslims.
It does not relieve the notice to be cautionary.
You should, as a Christian, do what you should be correctly represent all people. We should show caution toward all radicals, whether Christian, Muslim, whites, blacks, conservative, liberal, domestic, foreign... We should also understand that radical represents a small number of each of these groups.
Not all want to assimilate.
This is America, don't you believe all citizen are covered equally under the Constitution?
Not all are willing to work, because work interferes with their religion. Perhaps not an issue for you, but it is an issue for people who provide jobs.
So, you have a problem with Jews who wish to observe the Sabbath? Should Christians be forced to work on Sunday or Christian holidays? My company tried to force me to work on Easter, which I refused. I told them that only in a case of emergency would I be there.

Christians have times which they want time as well.

Donald Trump has the potential to be one of the greatest pesidents of all time. Do you agree?

Yesterday was the "Pocahontas" comment from the Oval Office, today its tweeting anti-Muslim propaganda videos from white-supremacist British sources!

McConnell, Ryan and the Republican congressional leadership must be "tearing their hair out" as Trump's antics repeatedly overshadows their efforts to promote tax reform legislation by repeatedly creating these "self-inflicted" media firestorms!

“I listed myself in the directory in the hopes that it might mean that I would be invited to a luncheon, a group something that might happen with people who are like I am." said Warren.
What's the Actual Story With Elizabeth Warren's Native American Heritage?

Like she (supposedly according to her) is? A Native American Indian?

And she is offended, when given the nickname of a famous Native American Indian?

Who knew Pochontas' name was trademarked! lol

It seems that the only people that this really matters to are conservatives. As far as the name, it isn't as much what one says but WHY they say it. Are they intending to demean or show pride in the name.

As one who researched genealogy in the past, her story is similar to thousands of other stories that I've heard, including my ancestry. I heard the stories of my grandparents but until I could connect the dots, they were just legends.

Actually, the name Pochontas is well known as a female American Indian, which Warren is female and wanted to connect with people "like her", "ie American Indians.

Why the gripe to dub her with a "a female American Indian"... name? Warren is the one who wanted the connection to people "like her".

I connect with American Indians all the time ~ not because we I have to pretend we have the same heritage and lineage, but because they are my neighbors.

As one who researched genealogy in the past, her story is similar to thousands of other stories that I've heard, including my ancestry. I heard the stories of my grandparents but until I could connect the dots, they were just legends.

As well, genealogy is not new to me. I am related to Kit Carson, who married an Indian women and had children...... gee if I could connect with people like me.... lol. Kidding....I don't require an Indian name....I am quite confident all my relatives near and distant are of the human race.

And??? You think I didn't know that.

Again, and??? She was told that she was part Native American by her family.

Okay Geronimo. Just kidding. Finding where your family comes from is cool.
I am descended from the Waller's that owned "Kunta Kinte" and descended from Charlemagne. (I figure if I clip my little toe nail back too much I'll lose all of that DNA :) )

And, again??? She never had any record, saying so. Family bibles, marriage certificates, photos, history of counties, gov't records ??

Having done genealogy, you should have discovered, some stories that were tales, and she, not doing research?

I had one distant old relative that had done genealogy for years, then discovered one person who was recorded in an old store ledger buying whiskey, so she threw out all of her records, and refused to continue doing genealogy. LOL

Okay Geronimo. Just kidding.
LOL ;)

Is "SBC" really trying to convince us that "The Donald" is using "Pocahontas" as a compliment, instead of a slur, when he referring to Elizabeth Warren?

It was bad enough that the Navajo Code Talkers were being honored in the Oval Office with a prominent portrait of Andrew Jackson in the background, but it was neither the time nor the place for this President to use it as a venue to disrespect his political opponents!

Andrew Jackson, it should be remembered, signed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which resulted in the deaths of 1000's of Native Americans during their forced march from Georgia to Oklahoma - the "Trail of Tears!"

It's not a compliment or a slur.

It's simply noting her claim of Indian heritage and taking exception to it.

Shocking, that any person might see photos of US President in the Whitehouse. lol

but it was neither the time nor the place for this President to use it as a venue

Really? It is your job to make the Presidents schedule? LOL

to disrespect his political opponents!

Warren is not the Presidents political opponent. He's the President, she is not.
Warren and the President oppose one an others political views. Shocking, people have political opposing views. lol

Andrew Jackson, it should be remembered, signed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which resulted in the deaths of 1000's of Native Americans during the forced march from Georgia to Oklahoma - the "Trail of Tears!"

It should be remembered, Andrew Jackson was an American President.
It should be remembered, President Trump was honoring participants from another Nation for their efforts during WWII.
It should be remembered, The US does not remove artwork that is part of American history to appease invited guests.

If American history artwork and symbols offend you, best you refrain from going to DC.

Obviously a lot will depend on what exact events he has to deal with in the future.

But, given what is shaping up on the foreign front and also what is before us on the domestic front - and considering his abilities, which out weigh his liabilities IMO, and considering his take charge and forthright manner - there is great potential for him to go down as one of the best.

Is there not?
Every president has potential to be greatest when they take office.

Trump is openly mocked by leaders around the world and seen by members of his own staff as a moron. Many of his statements make KKK and Neo Nazis very happy and are dividing country. Not the "credentials" of even the average president.

You, like many others, show yourself to be an individual who is EASILY influenced by radical, left wing propaganda found on the mainstream media fake news stations.
It seems you are projecting.

What statements has Trump said that would make "KKK" and "Neo nazis" happy? Stop with the lies. If you're implying that Trump is supporting neo nazis, it is bearing false witness, and it is wrong, especially when it maligns a person's name.
Lies? Trump stated some Nazis and KKK are "very fine people". That made Nazis and KKK very happy.

Trump Defends White-Nationalist Protesters: 'Some Very Fine People'

Here is quote from KKK website:

Reacting to Trump’s words on Saturday, the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer praised the president’s comments as “good.”

“He didn’t attack us. He just said the nation should come together. Nothing specific against us,” wrote Andrew Anglin, the website’s founder.


“No condemnation at all,” Anglin continued. “When asked to condemn, he just walked out of the room. Really, really good. God bless him.”

I'm projecting? No. The left projects what they do by blaming innocent conservatives for the same actions. It is right out of the Saul Alinsky, "Rules for Radicals" playbook, in which you accuse your opponents of doing what you are actually doing.

There is nothing in your comment that has anything to do with what Trump states. Trump came out and said that he didn't support white supremacists. He said it multiple times at different occasions. What more do you want?

There were good people at the rally. Were there some white identity people there? Yeah, there were people there who desire for Western Civilization (white) people not to become minorities in their own lands. Sure. That doesn't mean that they are supremacists. It simply means that they are advocating the same things that ALL people groups are advocating. If you're not paying attention, and you'd have to be asleep in today's time not to see it, the West is dying. It is dying because of radical, left-wing, ungodly people who have infiltrated the governments, media, and academia of western (white) countries. It is these people who have changed immigration laws to favor peoples of non-European descent, as well as who condemn white ethnic interests.

Simply because someone attends a rally to promote traditional American interests doesn't mean that they are white supremacists. Furthermore, saying that there are good people at a rally, but because there may have been some questionable characters, doesn't justify a character assassination of all participants simply through guilt by association.

The left tends to think that if Trump doesn't pinpoint every so-called group, even if he says nothing to support a particular group, it somehow validates something. Nonsense.

Again, as I have stated, there were infiltrators. If you'd actually look at videos of the event, you'd see that hardly anyone was carrying around swastika's or anything of the sort. These characters were mostly found on the outside of the park, which leads one to believe that they were Democrat plants to villify the conservative movement.

Anyone can find a few goofballs in a crowd of thousands and try to paint everyone with a broad brush.

I could say that every Democrat is an ungodly, baby-killing, sodomy-promoting queer, but that would not be truthful, much like what you're promoting is not true.
