Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Tuesday panned the idea of favoring Christian refugees from Syria over Muslims, delivering a rebuttal to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a GOP presidential candidate.

McCain said using a religious test on Syrian refugees, especially children, makes no sense.

“I don’t think any child, whether they are Christian or whether they are atheist or whether they are Buddhist, that we should make a distinction,” McCain said. “My belief is that all children are God’s children.”

The Muslim Brotherhood’s water carrier says “Let my people in!”

I guess McCain is bored with being the Senator for Aztlan. Now he wants to represent the Caliphate.

Arizona and the US are long forgotten.

Remember McLame you had your chance and LOST and the only reason you even got out of the gate was because people came to see PALIN speak and then what did you do to her????

McCain is a George Soros sock puppet.

Juan-nasty? No Thanks....

Every time I think McCain couldn’t possibly increase my regret at having voted for him, he steps up his game.

And Libya. He had his paws on Egypt too as I recall. He was a busy badger.

After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.

Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

This old crank needs to be checking into the Dementia Inn. And to do us a second favor, he should take Grahamnesty with him.

McCain and his bro McConnell are at war with the Cruz in the senate and the Tea party. They have done more to harm conservatives than have the Democrats. They sold themselves as alternatives to the socialists but were really just a little grease for the skids. They both deserve the Benedict Arnold award for life time achievements in their supporting roles in the destruction of liberty and the “fundamental transformation of America”. Cruz having McCain as his enemy is a powerful endorsement of his fitness for office.

I wish Jihad John McCain used the same exercise equipment Harry Reid does.

McCain HATES Cruz.

Think about it.

Charles Manson was one of God’s children too. As are terrorists.

I wonder if he didn’t want a communist test for all of the Vietnamese we took in?

A religious test is actually a standard measurement of determining refugee status.

8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(42) The term 'refugee' means (A) any person who is outside any country of such person's nationality or, in the case of a person having no nationality, is outside any country in which such person last habitually resided, and who is unable or unwilling to return to, and is unable or unwilling to avail himself or herself of the protection of, that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion, or (B) in such special circumstances as the President after appropriate consultation (as defined in section 1157(e) of this title) may specify, any person who is within the country of such person's nationality or, in the case of a person having no nationality, within the country in which such person is habitually residing, and who is persecuted or who has a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. The term 'refugee' does not include any person who ordered, incited, assisted, or otherwise participated in the persecution of any person on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.

Actually McCain is terrified of Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz has made it clear that if elected he would direct his AG pick to investigate the IRS targeting, Benghazi etc WHEREVER the path may lead and pursue prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.

There should be a pause in taking in these refuges - but only until the war on terror is won by the U.S. After the war, resume immigration policies that are beneficial to the U. S.

I’m not worried about Buddhists or atheists either. It’s the Muslims. McCain can’t even mention them, because he knows saying we don’t have to worry about Muslims is just too stupid.

[terycarl]

He’s right, all children are God’s children....just sort out the ones who reject God and become Islamic terrorists.

When you have a perpetrator and a victim, the one normally given the refugee status is the victim. But then, that was before we had a closet muslim in charge.
