Europe Is Horrified of Trump, but He’d Fit Right In

While I viscerally can't accept it... I do actually understand what is happening. Its part of a pathology we see from almost every lefty.
For instance Piezoe can call himself a libertarian. In his mind he changes the definition and facts and expects everyone to agree with his stealth definition. Lefties also like to play the if you accept a little you are just like me game. So if you are a libertarian but you accept public garbage pick up - Piezoe can accept the USSR and still be a libertarian if he thinks that govt is good. Its all a matter of degree... they argue. After facts prove their arguments or viewpoint wrong. Every lefty on this site seems to enjoy changing the traditional definition of things and then arguing about it.
Leftists throughout the media gravitate to this same pathology of changing words and facts in their own minds... because the reality is their ideas lead to the Iron Curtain and the USSR and the elimination of basic human rights and freedoms.

Your malevolent nole factors have repudiated your platitudes with anachronism.

The whole idea of terror is to make it appear exponentially worse than it is. That is why they do what they do, to manipulate the horror of the emotions of the peers of victims way way out of proportion. And then of course, less than honorable politicians manipulate it for all the emotion is worth.
Yep. The odds of being killed by a terrorist is less than minuscule

so piezoe went from telling us from lying to us that the left was not for illegal immigration to now telling us we should not be concerned about it. Piezoe you should not have been lying in the first place... right now your admonitions have no credibility.
To Nitro and Piezoe... I think you need to re read your Taleb book.
I can accept you weigh risks in a typical manner thinking you can quantify future risk based on past terrorist events. Taleb explains that most people fall prey to this deficiency in thought. I suggest you consider other potential terrorist acts and the magnitude of their damage in your calculus. Those who confine terrorism to relatively small scale "acceptable" damage attacks are the ones living in a anachronistic time before dirty bombs and suitcase nukes.
nevertheless thinking about bombs where people are wiped out as collateral damage in exchange for more immigration is one thing... I can see how you could do such cold hearted calculus. But when you personalize it to women an children being raped and molested. When women have to change the way they apporach going out at night ... how can that ever be an acceptable risk.. when we could and should be helping these refugees in their home continent...
But... what is truly ironic is that you all act like those not suffering from your delusions about risk are somehow less thoughtful.

For those who have been hurt by terrorist attacks I apologize for even trying to do a Learned Hand type analysis. I realize its not appropriate and no preventable terrorist damage is ever acceptable... its the leftists who are the ones arguing that we should do this cold type of cold calculus. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Carroll_Towing_Co.
And... by the way the twin towers damage would never be acceptable to me.
I no longer even lived in New York. But my Dad's friend lost a son. My uncle's entire office of 45 co workers was wiped out while he was getting a haircut and my cousin would have died if she was not dropping her child off for his first day of school.
That is a lot of live touched by a tragedy these lefties feel is acceptable.
I do not... because we could be helping the real refugees in their home country... and if our politicians really were doing this for humanitarian reasons... they would have been helping the Christians being slaughtered these last few years.

You are totally wrong about that. And the voters agree.
Very clever response, Nitro! I'd have given it a double like if I could. And you are right on the money Re threat from Terrorist attacks. We helped the terrorists who brought down the World Trade Center Towers leverage their estimated $250,000 up to our expenditure of four trillion. It was a brilliant investment from their point of view, and we made it possible.
ISIS is real. Al Queda was half-real, half-bs.
