I know what you're saying, but it just seems that way. We are bombarded with media that supports this perspective and most here seem to surround themselves with that world. I know Democrats that don't particularly like all of Trump's stated policy goals, but don't actively root against him or his presidency. I'm in a southwestern border state. The idea that all Democrats are anti-gun and are pro-illegal immigration is simply untrue. There is a larger population than just blacks to appeal to. Shutting them out completely is the wrong approach, though, in my opinion.

I agree with you.
Let me clarify, I am not condemning all dems. My initial post was directed to a specific posting lamenting the actions of an evil man being validated by the supreme court.
I am stating it is not worth listening to the rank and file or the leaders who constantly spout the political party line, in every instance, as if it were the absolute truth.

Not if they keep voting for the national democrats.
Then I say, there is no difference.

And for the records, 0bama is one who made up that initial list of countries to ban.
There is NOTHING in Trump's plan that is racist, homophobic, or illegal. Just more leftist spin.
And FDR did what he thought was best to protect the nation. Only an idiot would judge him in hindsight 60 year later. The world was NOTHING then like it is today. We just had our fleet almost destroyed, and then several bases immediately after that. The world was already engulfed in war in Europe.
MY God, if we have another real big war, I hope all of you will join the other side - our will be worthless on our team.
And you tree-huggers know nothing about what went in to his decision. Democrat or not, he was a WAR president at a time when the fate of the whole enchilada was seriously in question.
Had 0bama been in office then, we would be speaking German and/or Japanese.
And trying to compare Trump's Travel Ban to the actions in 1941 is totally ridiculous.

Mixed Bag
There appear to be both down and up sides to this ruling.
The down side is that the Trump administration can basically
do whatever they want in the "interest of national security".
This is where I believe they lean and will attempt to manipulate.
The only bright light at the end of a dark tunnel appears to be
that countries on the banned list can apply for visas to the US
for their citizens, provided the vetting process is acceptable.
I find it hard to believe that, in the current environment, anyone
will obtain a visa from any of those countries to visit here.
Unless, of course, they have "inside influence" within the
administration - most likely due to business ties.
After all, everything is so above board and transparent there.

We have legal immigrants coming in here all the time.
Doing it by the law.
I see no reason to thing that will change.
Visas are also granted every day - again, no reason to see any change.
Things ARE above board- now that 0bama is gone. HE started DACA, but Circus Court said Trump could not end it - that is what you call above board?
What the problem was, 0bama REFUSED to vet anyone properly - he BANNED anyone checking social media.
And things are so bad here, yet they keep coming and coming......
Maybe if the dems would put politics aside and negotiate the immigration laws, we would get somewhere. But the dmes don't give a s*** about immigration problems, the kids, or anything but the midterms.
And you damn well know it.

This is a travel ban.
That has a far wider effect than just immigration.
I realize, of course, that conservatives think of little else.

Yes, it is a ban. Duh.
I realize liberals think what they are told to think.

What everyone seems to lose track of is it is on country's who have no standards of records to who are coming. Compare it to a horse entered to race that has no lip tattoo, the left just loves a ringer. Here H4C just drones on about how unfair etc., what a complete joke. But really scary part is 4 SJC's were equally pathetic.
