A supposedly conservative blog wanting to welcome the refugees with open arms, calling on us to hold hands and sing Imagine, because the French are doubling down on the path to their own cultural suicide.

Terrorists Once Used Refugee Program to Settle in US

...

The 2013 ABC News investigation also revealed that several dozen other suspected terrorist bombmakers, including some who were believed to have targeted U.S. troops, may have mistakenly been allowed to move to the U.S. as Iraq and Afghanistan War refugees, among the tens of thousands of innocent immigrants.

...

In the wake of the Kentucky case, the U.S. halted the refugee program for Iraqis for six months, a fact the Obama administration did not disclose to Congress at the time, officials told ABC News in the 2013 investigation.

President Francois Holland is a Liberal Idiot. France hasn’t learned its lesson yet. France has gone beyond the tipping point- it will not recover. This would never had happened with a leader like Charles De Gualle. He was against allowing even MacDonalds or KFC in France. France will never be the same.

The bad guys is Paris were French citizens.

All sides talk of “Syrian”, “Middle Easterner”, “Muslim” as if they are inter changeable. They talk of “refugee” and “immigrant” as if interchangeable. Of course, they aren’t.

A Chechnyan refugee should be either prohibited or closely screened just as a Moroccan citizen of Belgium.

And a Yesidi is not the same as a Muslim from Syria.

And the non-refugee who comes here as a tourist or student or for family unification is not the same as a refugee. But students should be screened just as closely as refugees.

Some of my expertise in illegal Mexicans comes from teaching English to them off and on over the past 55 years.

I’ve only known a few Muslims enough to comment on them, a Turk, a Bosnia, an Algerian, a Pakistani, a couple Palesinian brothers, a couple Indian co-workers. I’ve had many other co-workers who were on other teams and I did not know them very well.

So I’ve thought, what if I teach English at the Clarkson Refugee center a couple miles east of me on the east edge of Atlanta’s I285. There are plenty of Muslim refugees there. I’ve watched them on the street passing out Qurans. They don’t speak English. Apparently as refugees they alternate between work and welfare. So other Muslims employ them to pass out Quran and do other evangelizing as work.

This is too important an issue to allow prejudices, nativism and misinformation posing as fact to color our objective policy ideas.

"Or so the Germans would have us believe."

Here is a quote from a Zell Miller speech on the Senate Floor many year ago that this article brought to mind.

"Mr. President, I have signed on as an original co-sponsor of the Iraq resolution, and I'd like to tell you a story about why I think it is the right path to take:

A few weeks ago, we were doing some work on my back porch back home, tearing out a section of old stacked rocks, when all of a sudden I uncovered a nest of copperhead snakes. Now, I'm not one to get alarmed at snakes. I know they perform some useful functions, like eating rats. And when I was a young lad, I kept snakes as pets.

I had an indigo snake, a bull snake, a corn snake and many others. I must have had a dozen king snakes at one time or another. They make great pets and you only had to feed them a mouse every 30 days.

I read all the books by Raymond C. Ditmars, who was the foremost herpetologist of his day. That's an expert on snakes. For a while, I wanted to be a herpetologist, but the pull of being a big-league shortstop outran that childhood dream.

I reminisce this way to explain that snakes don't scare me like they do some people. And I guess the reason is that I know the difference between those that are harmless and those that will kill you. In fact, I bet I may be the only senator in this body who can look at the last three inches of a snake's tail and tell you whether it's poisonous or not. I can also tell the sex of a snake, but that's another story.

A copperhead will kill you. It could kill one of my dogs. It could kill one of my grandchildren. It could kill any of my four great grandchildren. They play all the time where I found these killers. And you know, when I discovered these copperheads, I didn't call my wife Shirley and ask her advice, like I do on most things. I didn't yell for help from my neighbors or take it to the city council.

I just took a hoe and knocked them in the head and killed them.

Dead as a doorknob.

I guess you could call it a unilateral action. Or pre-emptive or even bellicose and reactive. I took their poisonous heads off because they were a threat to me.

And they were a threat to my home and my family.

They were a threat to all I hold dear.

And isn't that what this is all about?"

Brian Schoeneman destroyed his own argument when he admitted that the Tsarnaev brothers had been given asylum when they were no threat and then eventually became "radicalized" terrorists.

Stop letting Muslim refugees into our country and there will be no chance for refugees to become terrorists. These bleeding heart idiots act like this has to be rocket science. Kick them all out of the plane from five miles up on the way over here. Questioned solved.
