The day a Muslim in America is forced to wear and ID badge

[TalkingDog]

[femmocrat]

1. Me too.

I would be proud to wear it.

[greenman3610]

14. +1

[PatrickforO]

2. Yeah.

[KansDem]

3. Yeah, when that happens, I'll put on a badge...

[niyad]

10. that one works for me.

[iandhr]

18. Works for me as well

[Cleita]

4. This thinking goes right along with the "papers please" thinking of a few years ago.

We need to weed these authoritarian thinkers out of our system of government and power. They should not be in any elected office anywhere. I know that the Republicans of my generation would have been ashamed to even think this way. In the way of a small history lesson, remember the National Socialist Party in the Germany of the 1920s was laughed upon as a bunch of nut cases by the majority of Germans and they took power with the same methods the neo-con Republicans are using today. The only big difference was that they didn't steal elections like ours are doing today.

[niyad]

11. exactly.

[MisterP]

17. they don't even need to seize power to wield it--there's always the media and the doughfaces

giving them full credence by voting for their wars (even invoking 9-11)

[shraby]

5. Yup, what Greenberg said.

I'd get myself a badge to wear.

[cherokeeprogressive]

6. This is being proposed?

[niyad]

7. donald trump proposed this, yes. you missed this bit of insanity?

[cherokeeprogressive]

12. Thankfully I did. I have to say though... when someone with absolutely no chance of holding

elected office proposes something like this I have to take it with an entire shaker full of salt grains.

[niyad]

13. I wish I shared your optimism about that insane person's chances.

[SoapBox]

24. Ditto...

And electable or not, he spreads this evil thinking like a disease...hate, bullying, intimidation, segregation, etc.

[pangaia]

29. trump is just the canary.

It is all the ignorant, bigoted fuckers who like him.. republicans, for example...

[yeoman6987]

27. Well he didn't say it, but didn't deny it when the reporter brought it up

[Downwinder]

8. Count me in, with pride.

[niyad]

9. same here.

[JustAnotherGen]

15. So will I

I'm not vocal about my spiritual path but I'm a UU. That's our chalice.

[genxlib]

22. Me too

And yes, UUs would be all over this

[Jack Rabbit]

16. Now, that's a plan

The King of Denmark did that after the Nazis invaded his country and imposed their racist tyranny.

[pangaia]

30. "The King Of Denmark" by Morton Feldman

[captainarizona]

19. sorry it won't be a badge you can wear

It will be more subtle then that.

[Enthusiast]

20. First they came for the Muslims.

[ck4829]

21. Count me in.

[Half-Century Man]

23. Me too.

Never Again, to anyone.
Shalom

[Initech]

25. I think this is approrpriate for what Donald Trump and Ben Carson are thinking:

[Dont call me Shirley]

26. America made a huge mistake after ww2 by allowing top level nazis into this country. And by not

imprisoning pbush & co.

[Rex]

33. That is a huge part of the problem. nt

nt

[ashling]

28. Count me in

[Rex]

31. Is the day I start wearing one.

That day will never come no matter how badly the Stormfront trolls want it to.

[ladyVet]

32. I'll put one on as well, and proudly.

This kind of shit must be protested and those who propose it and support it vilified.

Never again.

Never in my name.

Solidarity, brothers and sisters.

[inanna]

34. Recommend!

[AwakeAtLast]

35. Great idea!

[ljm2002]

36. Yep, right there with ya...

...if such a terrible idea would ever be implemented, that is what all decent people should do IMO.
