Donald Trump: America Should Consider "Closing the Internet Up In Some Way" (dailydot.com)

Patrick O'Neill writes: Hours after Donald Trump suggested the U.S. ban Muslims from entering the United States, the leading Republican presidential candidate said America should also consider "closing the Internet up in some way" to fight Islamic State terrorists in cyberspace. Trump mocked anyone who would object that his plan might violate the freedom of speech, saying "these are foolish people, we have a lot of foolish people ... We have to go see Bill Gates," Trump said, to better understand the Internet and then possibly "close it up."

    ...and the democrats want to "kill the very instrument that would be most effective in de-radicalizing people" which are firearms. Free speech is much more dangerous than the freedom to posses firearms. I'm not for banning anything, but we should block hate speech or any speech associated with known or suspected terrorists. Trump is a bit of a clown but he's saying what the people want to hear so what does that tell you...that people are sick of President Obama and his nut-less administration (unless they are attacking white males or Christians).

    What is the disease does this country have in listening to people like this? I realize there are other candidates that are clearly not all there upstairs but when is this Trump shit gonna go away. Fuck that idiot and fuck his hi-jacking of the discussion.

    The disease is called "tired of the multicultural, egalitarian, equalist, anti-white, anti-male, anti-christian, anti-family, anti-, anti-normalcy destruction of our society." His cure might cause autism, but that's a far sight better than the disease...
