Syrian Refugees

[2ADMNLOVER]

They apparently don't teach that in history class anymore, Dave. I bet if you pointed out that invading Muslim armies were defeated as deep inside Europe as Tours, France, and Vienna, Austria 90% of the people out there would look at you like you were crazy. BTW, the battle of Tours? 732 AD. First Crusade wasn't until several hundred years later. So yeah, they were in response to a long train of abuses by Islamic caliphates, including massacres and enslavement of Christians on pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Another fun fact? The existence of Islamic SS divisions and the Mufti of Jerusalem's involvement in planning for the death camps.

This is supposed to be a feel good story damnit , why you gotta bring that up?

Forgive me if I don't subscribe to any religion... christian, or otherwise. It's why I don't jump to conclusions re: any religion. I won't tell anyone they can't believe what they wish to believe.

People act upon their belief systems. Mao and Hitler did and Isis is now.

The gist is that we're coming to WWIII between Muslims, socialists and nationalists?

 

[Dead Duck]

Yes!

Wait... We're the nationalist socialists?

Might want to do a little re-branding on that one

It'll fly. History education is not a strong suit in Murrica today.

It's a coalition government, democratic socialists and republican nationalists... I think it has a nice ring to it.

The first 149 families supported by the privately funded Nazarene Fund have been accepted in their new homes. Many prayers and well wishes for these families.

I see peaceful protests and good people just looking for a safe place to call home and blend in with the rest of decent society.

In the weird irony of history, the former imperialist nations which once invaded the lands where many of these refugees hail, are now becoming colonized themselves.

Indiana’s refusal to pay federal grant funds to resettle Syrian refugees violates Equal Protection Clause

1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Even if we accept the notion that this applies to anyone, not just citizens, who else are we paying to resettle? If anything, equal treatment would prohibit, not require, doing any such a thing.

That's a good point. Giving no one anything is more equal than giving some people something.

The Dems always like to complain about Americans having all of the benefits of living in this country, just due to an accident of birth. The same applies to Mexicans though. Why should they be the only country that has the ability of being able to just walk across the border. To be truly fair, we need to round up everyone around the world, that wants to come here and fly them here for resettlement.

I have a better idea. If the leftists are really convinced that they have such good fortune by an accident of birth rather than from parents and grandparents who deliberately worked their asses off to build something better for their children and grandchildren, then they can exercise one of our wonderful freedoms and GTFO.
