" You should be worrying about the American youth being radicalized more than the refugees."Thanks for getting there ahead of me. Refugees are not nearly as much of a threat as radicalized people already here. The “War on Terror” is a misnomer. We are dealing with a somewhat organized criminal ring, not an army that we can defeat with conventional military means.Driving ISIS out of their domain is worthwhile, but the boots in the ground need to come from the nations around Syria. That will not stop the Islamic extremists from plotting attacks, but it will deprive them of a safe haven for training people to attach elsewhere. They will find another place, so this is a long game of whack-a-mole.
Some Americans are so outraged at Obama bringing in 10,000 refugees that they say they are moving to Canada. They haven’t thought this through. Canada is bringing in 10,000 refugees this year and 25000 by January 1, 2016 – proportionately far more than America. But the focus is not on creating fear and suspicion, it is how the process can be speeded up and how the government and humanitarian agencies can co-operate in the resettlement. Another big difference is that the other political parties are not trying to make it a political issue to win the next election. .America the land of the free and the brave – yeah right. About time America put it’s money where it’s stated values are.
I see your point, liberals. Yeah sure, let the refugees in, no problem. And when the ISIS among them start attacking, us knuckle-dragging conservative republicans, with our guns and ammo, will step up and save your asses. We got this!
Proud of Obama, ashamed of the House Democrats who supported this ignorant, wasteful bill. I hope the president goes ahead and vetoes it, just to make the choke, gag and vote on it again.
Good lesson how to play into the hands of ISIS. We’re proving that they can scare us, run us, and expose our cowardice. Not a proud moment for America.
IMO the House voted on a Defend America bill that Democrat Reid immediately promised to filibuster. (Dems can’t have actual real defense for America! They would lose too many “new Democrat voters”…)-Obama and his regime are immune, plus deaf, dumb and blind, to the US Intel reports mandated for the C-I-C, when they report on the many Islamic Terror groups. Some of which are active in the US of A.-http://townhall.com item, 11/19/15, by Katie Pavlich, passing on what investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson revealed in a TV interview with Steve Malzberg.-Attkisson received info from “sources close to the White House” said that Obama refuses to listen to and sometimes refuses to read the reports. -IMO this “wrong-way ‘leader’ of the Free World” came into office with a huge BIAS for Islamics/jihadism and speaks and acts accordingly.

I guess we’ll have to remove “home of the brave” from the national anthem now that the GOP insists we have to be terrified of 5 year old orphans.
