I probably would have voted Hillary if the Democrat/Soros machine did a better job at hiding the rapes and other brutal crimes by Syrian/Middle Eastern refugees in Europe.
I'm not afraid of Islam: I'm afraid of religion.
However, if I'm a struggling American in a dire situation (although not as dire as being forced from ones home and country), I have to ask: Why all this compassion for immigrants and refugees, but not me? Where is my help and team of protestors?
No, I generally don't pay attention to celebrity activism or speeches because they are not in positions of power that are responsible for decisions that affect hundreds of millions of people. Celebrity fueds and controversies are simply a distraction to take our minds off other more pertinent matters, like how your elected and appointed officials are abusing their power. That's what we always must be aware of and not allow wedge issues to pit us commoners in separate corners.
Let's put it this way than why should US tax dollars go to help other countries that aren't helping themselves?
? Is the US the only country that can help them I highly doubt it. Maybe as a society we should stop giving excuses for individuals actions and start making individuals be accountable for there actions. There is no accountability given anymore everything and everyone has accuses and if they can not come up with one someone else will. As a society we need to stop expecting others to pay or do for us and learn to do for ourselves. A good saying give a man a fish he will eat a meal, teach a man to fish and he will have food for life.
The middle class US worker is getting nothing but taxes taken from them to pay for others while who helps them pay for thier families or pay to put there children/kids thru schooling. As I have said before no one offers to help the American citizens that are a working providing tax paying individual/family but than again who are we just the people paying the bills.

The liberals, progressives and globalists on the left don’t seem very concerned with their own fellow citizens. They are more concerned with their jihad to spread their values to the rest of the world.
Consistently I see the media showing more concern for non-citizen Muslims, than for the victims of Muslim terrorism. If a Muslim is insulted in the NYC subway it makes headline news, but stuff about Christians being massacred in the Central African Republic by Muslims or Yazidis being genocided by Muslims tends to make smaller headlines.
Americans have been kidnapped and held hostage and terrorized and beheaded by Muslims for decades, and there are almost never any demonstrations. Now Trump follows up on a campaign promise and slaps a TEMPORARY ban pending extreme vetting on countries that have been a proven source of terrorists for years, and literally millions turn out to demonstrate.
Boston Marathon Massacre didn’t bring millions into the streets. Protecting the migration ‘rights’ of Iraqis did. Clearly the liberals prefer people who routinely shout ‘death to America’ and ‘death to Israel’ over Boston victims.
I don’t understand why the US must ‘defend’ Europe against Russia. The EU has an economy 10 times the size of Russia, a population 3 times as big, and far superior technology. If Turkey is included, European NATO has 4x the military manpower that Russia has. All the statistical advantages are in European hands. If they can’t or won’t defend themselves, then NATO should be disbanded.
Likewise the USA has no business defending South Korea against the North. South Korean GNP is 40 times that of the North. Their population is 2x as big. They spend 3x as much on their military. Their technology is literally world class. I’ll bet that not a single member of geekhack does not have multiple examples of South Korean high technology in his home. If mad dictator Kim is still a threat to South Korea, that is because South Koreans are willing to accept a Kim dictatorship.
Madonna just took another two Malawi infants in for adoption. Like many Hollywood celebs, she loves making a big show of taking some third world kids from their homelands and raising them in conditions of great privilege. Strangely these celebs pay very little attention to the poor and disprivileged in the USA. I’m sure Madonna is rich enough to pay for a total overhaul of the Flint water system and Meryl Streep can buy up and fix entire neighborhoods in Detroit. But they’ll rather go to Cambodia and Ethiopia for their trophy non-white infants.
Liberals will beat and burn Trump in effigy, but not Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. That Der Spiegel magazine cover, portraying Trump as Jihadi John, really says it all. They can't tell an elected president from a murderous terrorist. At this rate we won't be able to tell Der Spiegel from Der Sturmer.
Recently Trump’s wall building and visa blocking have caused many Silicon valley hypocrites to pop out and make pious statements about liberal values. Quite ironically, Mark Zuckerberg just built a mile long wall to block off Native Hawaiians from accessing a public beach, and tried to sue and drive off hundreds of Natives from their ancestral lands. He has 700 hectares that he doesn't need to farm. Many of these natives have just a few acres to farm, surrounded by Zuckerberg property. He wants to deny access using legal tricks when access is already part of traditional Hawaiian land rights. To me, this is symbolic of the problem of liberalism. Their charity doesn’t begin at home. It begins 5000 miles away.
