Olympic champ Dalilah Muhammad: "It's insane what America is becoming"

It's insane what Islam is becoming. But no, she's not allowed to criticize Islam, she may only criticize the country that gave her everything.

To the RWNJ, "America is a mess" and we must "make America great again," yet nobody with different views can "criticize the country that gave her everything."

The hypocrisy is astounding.

"It is extremely selfish to complain about getting questioned when there are people out there getting killed and hurt."

The latest RWNJ talking point, as usual unfounded.

Please show me the "people out there getting killed and hurt" in our country by people from the banned nations.

Start by showing me one from each of the countries, the absolute minimum for the ban to be remotely logical.

Wait, you can't.

Start by showing me one at all.

Wait, you can't. Just like Trump, lover of the constitution and writer or unconstitutional orders.

This story is a non starter. Canadians have been denied entry to the United States since 9/11 for being suspected terrorists. Really these border guards have their heads up their asses if stop a guy like this. Nothing smacks of terrorism but if you trip up during your interview the guards can use that to deny you entry.

I hope Disco Gary is as grumpy and miserable in real life as he is on the internet.

If he finds America so insane, why doesn't he move to Iran or Saudi Arabia or any of the other Hellholes where his religion predominates?

You're not exactly "the knowledgeable One" when it comes to spelling and apostrophe use, though.

Radicalized muslims have signed their fate. They choose to kill others, then we will kill them. and we'll use whatever means necessary, whether that requires targeting their family and friends to get the job done. these are american lives at stake here, we protect our own.

Oh my. This is the level of intelligence of the average Islamophobe.

Dalilah is a woman. She won Olympic gold for America in Rio (which is a city in Brazil that hosted the last Oly games, just in case you didn't know that either) in the 400 hurdles.

How on Earth can you not know this. This is a fcking athletics website. You are as bad as the guy that though Rudisha's broke 1:41 in the Beijing Olympics.

Living in mom's basement. They should give out vouchers so they can build a wall around their houses and the rest of us can get along with our lives.

AKA sinking to their level.

Funniest part is America bombs Muslim countries and kills innocent Muslims in the collateral damage daily.

What I find interesting is that there are people who feel that those who want to purchase a firearm should be scrutinized for mental health concerns, background checks, and then be denied access to a majority of firearms all under the idea that "If one life is saved, then it is worth it."

Are the same people who think that we should be open and free for those wishing to come into the country and if one person who is entering our country with bad intentions then "oh well that is the cost of being a free country" is kind of hypocritical.

Who is against scrutinizing individuals? Requiring background information and interviews to obtain a visa to enter the US is not unlike having to pass a background check to obtain a firearm.

Thanks for supporting me!

So would you be against a three day waiting period?

President Obama is building a wall around his new house.

A wall for me, but not for thee.

... and I used to have a really nice 2,000 square foot finished basement with a movie room, workout room, etc. Designed it myself and did some of the work. I sold the house though.

That's fine. And this is for everyone, yes? No more visa waivers? Every foreigner needs a visa to enter the US? And can we do something about people from high crime Chicago going to low crime parts of the US? Full interviews and background checks before boarding any flight? Wiretaps on all phones?

Would these measures not save at least one life?

Disco Gary,

Here's the issue. There are people who have republican views who are not "give guns to everyone" or "save every baby" or "Obama is the devil."

However, your extreme leanings make it almost impossible to present ourselves as people who have common sense and willing to have give and take.

If we continue to polarize our views then there will be no change and it will be so much more difficult to speak for those who are well-educated, understanding, and overall accepting of different views.

If we could somehow find a middle ground to exist on you will find support and more acceptable options. To steal a quote from game of thrones "We do not make peace with our enemies, not our friends" Now is the time to find that middle ground where republicans are in a place of power. Otherwise, the further we pull the pendulum to the right, the further it will inevitably swing to the left.
