I would suggest that the refugees’ brothers and sisters in Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, and other sparsely populated areas take them in.

We already have too many takers in this country, creating pollution, global warming, taking up space, holding down the dirt, and using up precious oxygen.

Do we really need more of this here??

EDITOR NOTE–No reflection on any particular comment, but it’s time to close comments. We are plowing the same ground over and over at this point. Good points all around.

The Syrian refugee crisis is born of Obama’s actions in Syria.

And now, must we listen to this dolt prattling sanctimoniously about our reluctance to admit these people as “un-American”?

Steve Crea – You’d think if there were really evil terrorists menacing us that the obvious solution would be to encourage more Americans to not only own, and train to be proficient with guns, but open carry everywhere. Eliminate those silly gun free zones where all the terrorism and mass shootings take place.
But no, the government wants heavily armed, jack booted storm troopers in Mine Resistant Ambush Protection vehicles, unarmed citizens, unlimited wire tapping of our phones and computers, and other Nazi type controls.
It’s not about protecting us, it’s about protecting the government against the citizens, so they can continue to loot us for everything of value, and we will have no chance of fighting back to reclaim our country.
I sincerely hope I do not cause this thread to be shut down by responding to one of your many challenges. This is an important conversation.

Permit me to point out this gross incongruity in the Obama Administration:

Why is Obama so desperate to increase gun control, while at the same time so desperate to infiltrate us with Muslims?

“…The American people have been forced to pay untold millions for a ten-year CIA and Pentagon program to undermine and overthrow the Syrian government, and now we are supposed to pay millions more to provide welfare for the refugees Obama created. If Obama wants to take in refugees from the chaos in Syria, there are probably plenty of vacant rooms in the White House…”

Who Should Pay For The Syrian Refugees?

The Middle Eastern oil producers know that they are circling the toilet.

North America’s ability to drill and frack will keep oil prices generally below $50, except for periodic spikes in price, driven by temporary geopolitical circumstances.

This is a death knell for their societies, as they have come to know it for 15 or 20 years. Their government spending, social programs, and economies will severely contract over the next five years.

These Muslim dominated societies have failed to expand or diversify their economies much beyond oil, for 50 years!

We no longer are beholden to them for their oil.

So, they export terrorism to extort us for money, technology, and other resources. And, Obama capitulates by giving the Iranians $150 Billion!!

Further, the Iranians will get the bomb, and will use it to extort us for money, technology, and other resources.

I do not believe that you can persuasively respond to me me about your “imaginary hobgoblins”.

It seems that you believe that your Liberal hobgoblins are real, at least in your mind, and someone else’s are unreal, or imaginary.

Will you also attempt to argue that those killed on 911 are only imaginarily dead???

This thread is wandering from the original. We are now discussing europes handling of refugees, 20-30 something’s with no skills, arab money flowing to our “politico’s” and Bush being the founder of ISIS. Is it about time this thread got shut down for being off subject.. or does that rule only apply to topics regarding cops?

It seems very odd to me it took the good people of France very little time to figure out destruction of the oil trucks would hit their pocketbook.

I have also noted Mr. Putin is talking with the Iranian leaders for cooperation on ridding the world of ISIS. Perhaps all this will actually do something good for everyone.

ISIS has no place in the world of today. Their antics have done very little when you get right down to it. 126 dead in Paris is a very small number of casualties for all the press they have gotten. Most of the people in the vicinity of this atrocity survived the efforts of ISIS.
