        Now, maybe you, sir, know only fine gentlemen from Iran, Yemen, Somalia. But I would dare to call that position elitist. Also, every one of those countries has rigorous and restrictive immigration rules. As for the risks, they were laid out by the O. adm.

        Even though I don't agree with your politics, I am still a huge fan and read everything you write concerning linguistics. You are a superstar in my life, but one with the wrong view of politics. :D

        I haven't seen or heard anything political from Steven, he approaches issues in a logical, compassionate fact based manner.

        Maybe, but Steven speaks from a fact based rational point of view. Give him evidence to the contrary, and he will change his mind. Like we all should.

        The article seems to making a good argument, albeit unintentionally, for a wider ranging muslim ban.

        I love how the writer thinks he he just checkmated SCOTUS decision Google "list of terrorist incidents" from any year since 2010 and notice the country of origin of the perpetrators!

        This is the tragic flaw of Reason. It's perspective is extremely narrow. It has no Wisdom and no Foresight.

        Oh wow, elites in the NY Times don't like the travel ban? What a shocker. We're so morally inferior because we don't accept people from every single country on the planet. This kind of self righteousness toward conservatives is inhumane and unreasonable.

        By not allowing a fifth column to be politically active within the United States under democrat control and projected forward with progressive identity politics. Duh #UnitedKingdom

        Ask him something he can answer... like "what would you like to do to liberal women Mr President?" if he was staring at an atomic clock he couldn't tell you the exact time
