People are upset over President Donald Trump’s executive order on banning refugees from certain hostile countries. Yes, logistical issues were not worked out ahead of time — shame on him.

Because of a few thugs, criminals and incompetents, law-abiding citizens must fight for their constitutional right to have guns.
The Confederate battle flag has been banned from public display because of a warped individual.
Welfare reform is affecting many because of a few freeloaders and greedy providers.
Whole police departments are seen as villains because of a few bad officers.
