he should have said "they include" instead of "they are"
also i reject his idea of what a "religious test" is and that we shouldn't have them. while it might be against someone's religion to do X legal constitutionally protected activity, having a test to decide if they support other people's right to do X legal constitutionally protected activity. these are important things we should look at. i'd happily trade increased screening for people who truthfully (through lie detectors) pass tests about these things if they support others rights to things like pissing on the koran for millions of syrian immigrants... if they pass the tests
just the way he was delivering the speech was bad. he was moving his head side to side... i just don't understand his posture, why he was at a podium. i dunno. if you print george bush's speech's it looked like something woodrow wilson, our most intellectual president, would have said. im just saying it looked bad. he looked tired. was a bad speech. i also disagreed with some of the content though, yes
