While being interviewed, Donald Trump expressed his opinion that abortions should be ‘banned’ in America. The next question was, “What should happen to women who get illegal abortions?”
Trump replied, “There has to be some form of punishment.”
YES, if someone violates a law, there should be ‘some form of punishment’, just as there is if we drive 65mph in a 30mph zone; just as we violate the law when we drive drunk, sell cocaine, rob a bank or write a bad check.
The people, the media, the so-called ‘expert analysts’ and Trump’s opponents need to LISTEN CLOSELY to what he says. When he suggested that all Muslims be banned from entering America, he added, “until we can figure this out”. That means we should a) initiate a better ‘vetting’ process or b) implement tighter security measures to ensure that we don’t allow people in this country who may pose a threat to it. Once we do that, then we can resume the process of inviting Muslims into our country.
When George H.W. Bush promised, “No new taxes!”, everyone was pissed off when he raised [current] taxes. There’s a big difference between raising existing taxes and adding new tax laws!
Voters need to listen more closely so we can distinguish out-and-out lies from simpler concepts or ideas. -RKO- #229 03-31-16
