first party cleansing... more will follow: blacks, asians anyone looking different and once that has been dealt with anyone who deviates one iota from party line... where did we see that? Oh right Nazi, USSR, China... funny thing their biggest scare is "communism" yet they follow the same playbook
Did he just sleep through years of, "Barack HUSSEIN Obama"? The fuck, bro, they put a stank on your name like that one canned fish that should be opened underwater.
Surströmming out here catching strays.
Hussein sounds like a dumbass.
Well yea, he’s a fucking republican
There is 'ein volk' and Muslims are not in it.
What a fucking idiot. The GOP has been brazenly anti Muslim for almost 30 years, they've always been xenophobic.
But you see he thinks he is one of the good ones. Surely he will be accepted as the in group.
They’re just house slaves vs the field slaves to the republicans. Just as disposable, but somehow they think they aren’t viewed the same.
"Sheep 4 Wolves" party stunned as...
I have a hard time wrapping my mind around how stupid some people are
Radical Muslims have a lot in common with conservatives.
The commonality is how much they believe in the fervor of their religion and hate you for yours.
Halabi, a teacher, declined to say how she would vote in November, but said that she is a Republican and always votes.
They're still voting. Are you?
In what should be a surprise to absolutely nobody...
Every time I hear the term "Log Cabin Republicans" or "Blacks for Trump" or "Hispanics for Trump" or about these Muslims going to GOP things, or about trad wives....all I hear is:
Jews for Hitler
...which was a real thing. People have not only not learned history, they absolutely refuse to learn from it even if they know some of these things.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehi_%28militant_group%29
Lehi split from the Irgun militant group in 1940 in order to continue fighting the British during World War II. It initially sought an alliance with Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany.[20] Believing that Nazi Germany was a lesser enemy of the Jews than Britain, Lehi twice attempted to form an alliance with the Nazis, proposing a Jewish state based on "nationalist and totalitarian principles, and linked to the German Reich by an alliance".[20][21]
Read the whole article. It's fills in a lot of the gaps.
Fun fact: I really had to search for this, academic websites are erasing a key line and I didn't bother with .gov, the reasons should be obvious.

Article 11
“Unity drives victory.”
Yeah, they like unity, not diversity.
Uniformity.
Leopards and faces.
I mean, really, do these guys not understand just what the Republican party truly is? Same for the conservative "movement"?
I think some of them are sincerely misunderstanding what the word "conservative" means in modern America.
It's too bad "neo-con" didn't stick.
Hey - I know Rick Scarborough.
He's a bastard.
My neighborhood has a lot of Bhutani and Nepali immigrants and when I was canvassing last year a surprising number of houses had the older generation as Republicans and the younger generation as Democrats.
Seems like a lot of people don't recognize that they aren't "in on it" until it's too late.
It was just weird to me. I’m wondering how someone with limited English would make that kind of decision. What were their criteria? What did they base it on?
At the end of the day I blamed it on what I blame everything on: Reagan. These were Boomer age folks who remember the gilded 80s in US pop culture.
But I would love to explore it more deeply. Is being conservative common with immigrant parents?

"Family values", opposing abortion, limiting women's rights....
You know. Conservative.

Don't forget Marget Thatcher and the rest of 80s Conservative Ghouls.
All the boomers I knew and grew up around, including my parents, fucking hated Ronnie Raygun with a white-hot hatred.
My boomer parents were the same.
We had an exceptional experience.
Even if he converted it probably wouldn't be enough
Did the leopard eat your face again?
the "unity" they want is just for themselves to 'unite' against everyone else. if they splinter, they would lose.
So grand, this old party...
This has to be some sort of masochism, right?
But I’ll guarantee, if they get power, they’ll cut your head off as believers of Christ,” he said.
Well, this guy is an idiot, and he probably doesn't care, but as "people of the book", Muslims tend to value xtians over, say, atheists.
I don't want him in my party either ,watering it down. Once a religious nutjob always a religious nutjob.
Fuck all conservatives no matter the religion
I have no Idea what he was thinking.
Anti-abortion.
After reading the article. The Republicans aren't necessarily wrong with their concerns about Sharia Law. They just need to look in a mirror.
And he probably shouldn't have admitted this, to be honest when he said:
He was practicing Sharia at that very moment,
Kind of implies he has no issue with Sharia Law being imposed.
