TKC MUST READ!!! EL BRYAN CONSIDERS SO-CALLED 'MUSLIM BAN' & KANSAS CITY DEMOCRATIC PARTY ELITE OUTRAGE!!!
Bryan Stalder is one of the most talented and thoughtful people working in Kansas City today and also occasionally dabbling into politics in between community volunteering.
Today he offers AN IMPORTANT FACT CHECK for so much local fear about immigration and airports.
His words are well-researched, carefully considered and offer a much more reasoned perspective than what we find in most reporting on the topic.
Take a look:
El Bryan Considers "Muslim Ban" And Congressman Cleaver
Congressman Cleaver is now using the term "Muslim Ban," which is a loaded term, and inaccurate. We have been fed the narrative that anything short of diplomatic language can be used to radicalize and recruit Muslims against us. To the extent that this is true, we should expect more out of our elected leaders and journalists.
Why not use the term "temporary travel restrictions"? It sounds like Democrats and the media are politicizing a delicate issue, and frankly, it's shameful because Congressman Cleaver voted for House Resolution 158, more commonly know as the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015.
This bill placed travel restrictions on anyone who had visited these seven countries within the past five years and was the template for Trump's *temporary* executive order.
I'm a conservative *and* I live in KC's urban core *because* I care deeply about helping our immigrant and refugee population. I didn't have an epiphany over the weekend like most folks spouting outrage on the internet. Many are familiar with my community service and I've attached a cartoon I published about his issue in 2015 when Barack Obama was president. I don't support this Executive order and I voted for Congressman Cleaver, but I expect better representation from him. Anyone using the term Muslim Ban should be ashamed, because this executive order does not ban all Muslims, it is temporary, and it is based off of a bill that Barack Obama signed.
Folks, including our Congressman, are being manipulated by the media, and this is disappointing. The outrage over this is fueled by folks who are still upset by the election results and struggling to accept reality rather than people who are actually committed to investing the time to make a difference.
Northeast is a diverse community that welcomes all people, and we should focus on how we can do better, not pointing fingers and tearing one another down because it is trending in specific media circles.

Inconvenient facts that aren't as fun as protesting. Thanks for all you do Bryan!
ReplyDeleteThe Interfaith NGO are getting in on the game!
ReplyDeleteBryan Stalder is doing the work of a real journalist. Mary Sanchez is a vile, lying PoS posing as a journalist.
ReplyDeleteStalder needs to get sober.
ReplyDeleteKansas City Democratic Party elite?
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha!!!
Decent guy but chuck the bow tie and get rid of the Justin Bieber haircut please.
ReplyDeleteTrump needs to fire Sally Yates immediately.
ReplyDeleteSanchez colum = idiocy
ReplyDeleteIf your an Muslim and worried about a temporary ban, here's a thought. GO TO CANADA. They'll take you there no questions asked.
ReplyDeleteAlas, Stadler has a mixed-race child, so his arguments ring hollow with the stain of negro influence.
ReplyDeleteThousands of Google employees walked out of work Monday afternoon to protest President Donald Trump's recent executive orders curtailing immigration from predominantly Muslim countries.
ReplyDeleteGood. Hope Google goes down the tubes.
And take their half assed fiber with them.
ReplyDeleteShould be obvious by now the lame stream media is continuing to do everything they can to continue fucking this country up.
ReplyDeleteel Bryan - just a white Urkel looking dipshit.
ReplyDelete@7:25 pm, Stalder has a halfrican ? LOL. That explains a great deal.
ReplyDeleteThe women are going nuts over this stuff. Two separate things have appeared on my FB page. One was suppose to be an out and out claim that this ban kept her husband out of the country and from her. Here read the real truth. This is the kind of crap floating around out there and why someone needs to flush it all.

ReplyDeleteTrump just fired the Acting Attorney General, who refused to uphold the policy. Draining the Swamp!
ReplyDeleteDid he do it game show style? Tell her "You're fired!" with the dramatic music. THAT would've been cool.
Delete^^^ She was appointed by Obama. Getting replaced anyway. Another empty gesture from the emperor with no clothes.
ReplyDelete9:08 Correct. Another empty gesture from the butt sore losers! Remember," Elections have consequences ".
ReplyDeleteLIBERAL Democrats BITCHES can't handle the truth , if you cannot handle it , move your limp ass to an Arab BITCHES country or Mexico , you will be treated as you should be , take you family , limp ass bitch friends and Commie cohort TRANNY BITCHES groins with you , PUNK ass HOMOSEXUALLY abounds metrosexual TRANNY BITCHES !

ReplyDeleteWhy even listen to the libtard rhetoric. They sound like a case of dementia run amock. Responding to their ignorant shit is a waste of good air. They are gone between the ears.
ReplyDelete872 waivers granted today. OMG! Maybe the sky isn't falling. Think how many trees and plastic bottles have been wasted this weekend. What happened to the Wall Street protesters? Soros just recycle them?
ReplyDeleteGoogle, Uber, Air BnB, and of course, Soros, pledge big funds for all things refugee. ACLU donations are piling in fast. Yet, there's still Veterans that get wait-listed for essential healthcare at the V.A., wait in long lines for job fairs, plenty who maybe transition out of homelessness within two years from last deployed, and WAY TOO MANY TAKING THEIR OWN LIVES!!!
