And the crazies can be influential too to a degree, as they have influenced the followers of Trump, and all those demonstrators at Charlottesville and elsewhere.

Forgiveness is a release of emotional attachment to what we experience as hurt. Forgiveness is beneficial primarily for the forgiver. The understanding should be remembered; emotional clinging to the past is not needed, although we often do it. Understanding that, as Jesus said about those who crucified him, "they know not what they do", or like the African-American Christian victims of Dylann Roof who forgave him, forgiveness and transcending hate is possible.

 If that's what you believe and how you view things, why do you support the idea of giving more Islamic's the right to immigrate to this country and support the right of Islamic immigrants to remain living in this country after seeing/experiencing  what a few Islamic crazies have already  done? Gee, I've never suggested we that we ban all Islamic's or round them all up and ship them back to where they came from.

We had a restrictive but generally fair immigration policy under Obama. Nothing that the current interloper does is in any way reasonable. Arbitrary discrimination against travelers and immigrants from a few Muslim countries that the Orange Menace doesn't do business with has nothing to do with a good policy to deal with crazies.

Dude, the pictures that were taken of the poor immigrant   kids in the kennels were taken during the Obama years. Obama was a dickhead. Do you know how many poor  illegal Mexicans disappeared during the Obama years. I'll give you an idea, my old neighbor's social gatherings decreased in size by over half within the first few years of the Obama Administration. However, I do get some credit for saving one by convincing him to go through the process and pay the costs associated with acquiring legal status for his wife before she's caught and ends up being deported. He was kind of like you, his emotional wants/needs just didn't allow him to listen to reason. However, the reality of receiving news from family members and friends about the issues their illegal family members and friends were facing opened his mind to reason. BTW, Obama's policy was to ignore/avoid terrorist attacks committed by crazy Islamic's who were living here, and try to have them labelled as being something else.

Obama was known as the deporter-in-chief, which I would have thought made you happy, considering your usual statements. But Trump has made it worse, without any cause for doing so; separating families, taking men away from their families off the streets, holding immigrants in detention centers, issuing a no-tolerance policy, threatening them with violence, etc. The Obama immigration policy regarding Muslims was very strict, and I don't think your charge against Obama regarding them is correct. Obama and Bush before him and their administrations were good at finding terrorists and stopping them before they could do anything, and at attacking them abroad as well.
