The leftist media would have you believe that Donald Trump is too reactionary, too racist, and too xenophobic to be president. Unfortunately for liberals, history is at odds with their claims.
President Theodore Roosevelt, also a Republican, signed a bill that banned practicing Muslims from entering the United States after he won the election in 1904. He won that election with 336 electoral votes, 190 more than his challenger, Alton B. Parker.
Sure, times have changed in the past hundred years, but polling data suggests that Trump’s ban, even in its most controversial form, is supported by the majority of the United States. It’s another fact that the mainstream media conveniently forgets when attacking the President’s actions.

Gary Hobs You are actually right with regard to my lowering myself to this persons level just because they started with the name calling. The FACT that they couldn’t dispute actual facts lead they to degrade themselves to the level seen as do most of these types of posters. They will of course TRY to also degrade someone posting FACTS with how that persons spelling and grammer doesn’t meet their standards. This just goes to show their actual level of intelligence and perception. Harvard showed that all you have to do is have the first and last letter of any word correct and the meaning is clear. Tihs preosn is an idoit as cleerly seen but again I digress to their level, srory abiot that.
Joe Lanz I gave you the facts you fucktard! lol Did you even read them? The act was to combat communism. It’s a well known historical fact that has been verified by experts and writers of it. It had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with Islam. Again, your writing ability sucks; “of Course” is actually one word as well as various other problems you have. You seriously need to take some college level courses; It’s clear your are not college educated. You are way out of your league. Should i walk you “threw”, “thru”, or Through” it with regard to what was going on in the world when the act was written? I guess your Harvard study missed that eh?
Joe Lanz I will be so happy and content when this presidential election is over! Just too many people I care about are no longer happy, joyous and free. Having friends that are Muslim that are not militant, angry or wanting to overthrow our government but are scared and fearful for their families causes me to reflect on the lack of tolerance and love this nation used to be based upon. To ban 1.6 billion people from even visiting our country and further persecute with the threat of extreme violence, hatred and intolerance seems so anti-american. Really was hoping that religious intolerance and racism would become an issue from our sordid past, not a current affair.
Gary Hobs well said. Finally a sane individual on this site.
Gary Hobs I too will be happy when this election is over with Trump as are only hope going forward. By the way Trump doesn’t want to ban 1.6 muslims, he wants to properly vet ANY Islam muslim thats wants to come to our country and abide by our laws NOT THEIR laws and become citizens. Look at Europe and EVERY country that just allows MUSLIMS in, that do NOT assimilate to the civilized world. Defense against RAPE/HONOR KILLINGS/WIFE BEATINGS and placing women as BELOW men in every form isn’t intolerance or racism its what a civilized country should do. I too know muslims that don’t abide by their Koran, they call themselves Americans NOT MUSLIMS. The factual definition of MUSLIM isn’t a race so race isn’t an issue; if they practice their HATEFULL Koran they are the ones spreading intolerance and racism NOT AMERICANS.
Joe Lanz you don’t know anything about Islam. Lol. Donald trump said “ban Muslims”. He was very clear about it. You are getting your news from brietbart and bad sources. Do you even know the story of Muhammad’s wife and her importance as woman in Islam ?Thought not.
It should of stayed that way
ITS STILL THAT WAY THEY DONT ENFORCE EXZISTING IMMAGRATION LAWS.
PUBLIC LAW 414 CHAPTER 2 SECTION 212 STATES VERY CLEARLY THAT IF YOU FOLLOW ISLAM YOU ARE BANNED FROM IMMIGRATION TO AMERICA PERIOD SINCE JUNE OF 1952 LONG BEFORE TRUMP WAS AROUND THIS IS AMERICAN LAW.
MASSIVE DEPORTATIONS ARE IN ORDER.
SHUT DOWN CIAR A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION ON AMERICA SOIL.
SHUT DOWN ALL MOSKS.
Correct then and more needed now!
I agree with everything you said but in order to sound more intelligent check your spelling just sayin not criticizing
