RE:Extremely well thought out and written....

I wish to offer my sympathy for the death of your son, Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in action in Iraq.

I can certainly understand the pain and anguish that you and your wife endure every day.

Captain Khan is a hero. I am sure the soldiers he served with regard him as one. I know you and your wife do. Rest assured that millions of veterans regard your son as a hero as well.

Your son made the ultimate sacrifice for his country, a country that was new to you and your family and one which you openly embraced and certainly love.

When you and your family arrived to America from Pakistan, you assimilated into our country. You adopted American ways, learned our history. Good for you sir.


WHAT would TheRUMP be talking about now IF HE had made the same statement and "moved on"?

Trump can't keep his mouth shut....as long as that's ALL he has access to...he can "knock himself out/fill his boot"....Just try and imagine him and some other idiot with access to "The Button"

TheRUMP was more upset that they asked IF he had read the Constitution. Months ago there was discussion about his religious beliefs...shortly after he started carrying a Bible....which is strangely absent from his wardrobe now....I suppose he'll be packing a Constitution on his person for the next couple weeks.


No one is going to out trump TheRUMP.

A solid message that could have been better
Aug 2, 2016 5:04AM PDT

had the writer left out some of the disparaging descriptive adjectives regarding certain persons or political leanings. I believe such messages suffer and won't reach as many people when they contain insulting language. This could have been done without such language, IMO, and been more effective at the same time. He may be just speaking his mind and there's nothing wrong with doing that as long as he is willing to lose a portion of his audience by his word selection. Just my thoughts.
