Once again the Democrats are showing their TDS and hate. They are trying to make a big deal and condemn Trump about his comments telling a few women in Congress if they do not like America they can go back to their native countries and fix them. While Trump would do well to cut out a lot of his tweets, if one reads the comments now in question objectively there is no racist comment in them.

It's not that we aren't designed to know but how we've been manipulated into thinking it's what we believe.

It is also what some have decided beforehand what they are going to believe.

Incorrect. "....Go back to your own country..." has ALWAYS been an inherently racist term. It was used against the Jews, against the Irish, against the slaves, against the Italians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Vietnamese, the Mexicans, etc. What part of the history of this term DON'T you understand?

If you tell a whole nationality of people to go back to their own country that is one thing. Telling some specific person or persons if you do not like it here go back to your country or origin is quite different What part of the difference do you refuse to see?

Look at the number of times it's been used on 'individuals' of 'certain' groups of peoples. And it was usually said without the term "....if you don't like it here...." Same meaning and context...

There was no question within the post to which I responded.

Who here among us does not agree with Trump? I certainly do and it pleases me that at least one of us speaks out about a common truth where all others have given up their right to free speech.

That was the point I was addressing in my first post, L-T.

You do know that we are all among the "some"?

Perhaps the most common human frailty is the inability to see in oneself the very same flaws so readily seen by others.

What I do understand is that this is not the first era to want the Muslims pushed back.
Why was the United States Marine Corps created? And let’s see, when was that? Anyone, anyone?
