You are allowing democracy to be destroyed. You more than most have the position to stop this. without checks and balances And transparency we are lost.

Did you really post this?...on the day after the Buffoon in Chief released his plan for the Great Wall of Fiscal Irresponsibility which includes actual concentration camps for immigrants and abolished the First Ammendment rights of an entire religion. So if you are pledging "never again", we should expect a press conference from you any minute denouncing Trump's actions and explaining what you will do to stop him?

Thank you, Mr. Ryan, for the remembrance. If you don't stop the madness of your colleagues there will be another remembrance day in the future for all of the South American, and Middle Eastern refugees refused safe harbor. Just like the Jews in the 30s, now it's the 'brown' people who are inferior. Trump/Bannon/Conway/Pence are supremacists ... believing that white Christians are superior. The administration meets the criteria of a hate group. Please, do something to stop America from turning into a fascist country.

From the Southern Poverty Law Center:

Though their views may be couched in code words, members of hate groups typically share these extremist views:
• They want to limit the rights of certain groups.
• They want to divide society along racial, ethnic or religious lines.
• They believe in conspiracies.
• They try to silence any opposition.
• They are antigovernment and fundamentalist.

You're kidding me, right? Just as the POTUS signs an executive order banning refugees from settling in our country you post THIS? You do know why Ann Frank couldn't get out, right? You do know why millions of Jews died in the Holocaust, right? Because other countries wouldn't let them in. Including ours. You are a hypocrite.

Speaker, now is the time to step up. Your words are hollow and insincere. Actions speak louder than words, so do something to prevent the further deterioration of our executive branch.

Speaker Ryan, I am alive today because as a child my grandmother and her family were permitted to immigrate from Germany. Her relatives unable to flee perished in the Holocaust. If you truly believe these words please speak out against the administration's stance against refugees fleeing war and oppression in the Middle East. Such a ban will not make us safer and goes against what we stand for as a nation. Thank you.

This is an ironic post. When I learned about this in history class, I thought how can people let that happen? I thought it must have been a bunch of awful people. But, now after the executive order today, I am seeing how this could happen. It happens little by little, inch by inch, the government starts discrediting the media and the scientists and eventually their followers only trust in them. The government utilizes fear and manipulation to get what they want. I am married to a German and understand their history and I am a very concerned American right now seeing the Muslims singled out. It feels like history is repeating itself but this time in a country that I cherish. I am so unsettled and beside myself. I believe in you, and like the way you think in general. I don't believe you are happy with this situation. Please stand up to this and protect the people if that is what you feel in your heart. We are counting on the GOP to bring sanity into this crazy situation we are in.

Wait, what? You care about the lives of others? You'll never see people persecuted for their religious beliefs, or ethnic background? So, this means you are going to fight Trump's immigration ban, registry, and all of the other racist, xenophobic orders he's signing?

Plus, what about the millions of innocent people who are about to lose their healthcare and suffer.

You are the worst kind of hypocrite there is.

Did you really just say that??? Lol Hypocritical much? Ummm yes. You are standing behind the hatred towards other religions. Seems very similar, doesn't it?

Paul Ryan, you're kidding right? If you want to live in an alternate reality where only white straight people live, go lock yourself in your master's golden tower for the rest of your life.

“When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19: 33-34) - The devil is rounding up and collecting all of your souls!

You're one of the people who doesn't want Syrian refugees coming to the United States. Don't say anything about innocent people losing their lives during the Holocaust, while you ignore people in desperate need right now. Never again mean you would fight to help those in need.

PS: I second Pavel's motion. The recording of you asshats panicking in Philadelphia, the seat of democracy in our great land, was the most disgusting display of political cynicism I have ever had the misfortune of hearing.

This has to be a joke, right? You can't possibly reconcile this statement with your support of Trump's Immigration policy. I have never agreed with you, but I used to think you were a man of integrity. Now I see you for who you truly are. I don't know how you sleep at night.

That's why you and your president are going to build walls, pick fights with neighbors, get rid of the ACA, take over women's bodies, gag orders on talking to the media - don't you realize what's going on? Anyone who read s history knows the path Hitler took and now we're being pushed on it in just one week. Ban Muslims, Hate Jews, Hate Muslims, Hate Mexico, Hate Women, Hate Obama, Hate every predecessor who made civil/human rights progress. My heavens is there anything that is respected besides the almighty dollar?

Says the guy that is in favor of a Muslim registry! Hahaha Alternative Fact: We the people, totally believe you!

Are you serious or just being politically correct. As the image of a dead 3 year old washed ashore in the Mediterranean, children on youtube begging for help as bombs rain down on them killing their families and little bodies covered with ash and blood, you pledge , never again!! Open your eyes especially when you send therm back for Assad and Putin to kill them.

Hey c'mon everyone just chill out. Speaker Paul Ryan is right- the Republican Party is looking out for all of us.

Nevermind sorry about that. That's just another #alternatefact.

Well, unless it's Muslims or other brown people. Then it wouldn't be so bad. Or people who can't afford insurance. And yes, this is snark, but too close to the truth to be avoided.

You have no integrity Paul Ryan. After opposing Trump throughout the primaries you are now doing business with the devil. By refusing to speak out against the refugee ban you are repeating the mistakes of the past that allowed the Holocaust to happen. Shame on you.

Most of us have read--and cried over--the diary written by a young Jewish girl who eventually died in a concentration camp. Many of us, however, probably did not know that the United States had not accepted her and her family as refugees.

Today, Holocaust Memorial Day, let us also remember that the United States has, once again, turned its back on refugees.

How long will we continue to weep hollow tears?

#WeRemember

Never again will we watch while a group is singled out and targeted without speaking up. Never again will we sit by and let a group be segregated or punished, just by virtue of their race, RELIGION, or color. On this Holocaust Memorial Day, can you please stand up for the Jews, Christians, MUSLIMS, Buddhists and others too? Please. Do not let there by any kind of registry or crime list ...

Have you no shame? Will school children be reading the diary of a young girl who was not allowed entry into the US and died at the hands of the very people you claim to be fighting? You say "never again" and yet you are allowing it to happen again. Despicable.

It will happen again, just differently and right here when you repeal the ACA, gut medicaid, medicare and Soc. Sec. I am a housebound, disabled senior.
You gut these things and people will die. I WILL leave instructions to have my body dropped on your doorstep when I'm dead.
HYPOCRITE !!!!!!!!!

How can you live with yourself, you hypocrite? Have you ever been uncomfortable for even a day in your life? We are creating another holocaust today, and you and the republicans are the worst offenders.

Save it. Your agenda mirrors the atrocities committed against these people years ago. You are guilty of history repeating itself with support of the oppressive policies of this administration. I look forward to the day when you and yours have to answer in court for your crimes against humanity. You, sir, are a pandering joke. Corrupt to the core. The list is long.

How dare you make a comment about The Holocaust on the same day you support the fascist racist order of denying refugees entry to our country. Anne Frank would be alive today if the anti Semitic policies under the Roosevelt administration would have been different. Trump makes exceptions for Christian Syrians! In case you haven't made a mental note Speaker- 15 of the 19 terrorists during the 9/11 attack were from Saudi Arabia. I reject any policies that represent a Muslim ban but isn't it ironic that Saudi Arabia is not in the list. Oh wait-- trump has business ties to Saudia Arabia. Oh wait- oil. Turkey has had more attacks by Isis on its country than any other of the countries in the Muslim ban list and yet Turkey is not included in the Muslim ban. You sir are a disgrace to the American flag. Shame on you.

One of the reasons political discussion is so difficult in this country is because some people see absolutely no difference in a) repealing and replacing terrible healthcare legislation, b) fixing a broken immigration system and c) the deliberate and willful act of murdering, by the most horrible means possible, over 6 million men, women and children simply because of their faith. Your absurdity, pompous sanctimony and hyperbole are some of the reasons Trump was elected in the first place.

"America's greatness is built on the principles of liberty and preserved by the men and women who wear the uniform to defend it. As I have said on numerous occasions, a religious test for entering our country is not reflective of these fundamental values. I reject it. Many Muslim Americans have served valiantly in our military, and made the ultimate sacrifice. Captain Khan was one such brave example. His example--and that of Khizr and Ghazala Khan--should always be honored. Period."
-You (7/31/16)

Guess you changed your mind. On National Holocaust Remembrance Day. Dick.

JEWISH lives, for the most part. Yet you and the president couldn't even mention "Jewish". And now you are demonizing Muslims. Hitler started by blaming a religious minority. Learn history.
