The enemy of our enemy is our friend?

There is precedent for America refusing to accept political refugees. Then, the fear was that NAZI's would sneak in with the fleeing Jews. Will we remember our history?

Or you could leave and go live with your Syrian refugee pals somewhere else other than America.

Stalin was the enemy of our enemy and he was not our friend.

6. America should demonstrate moral courage: During World War II, the U.S. turned away Jews due to security concerns. We sent shiploads back to the camps because we were scared that Nazi spies could hide in their midst (which was not an entirely unfounded concern). The lesson of the Holocaust, as I noted here, is that we must deal with threats without rejecting our ethical obligations. We must not send those fleeing persecution back to their persecutors. The definition of moral courage is to resist allowing fear to overwhelm our humanity.

Naturally. Who would dare engage you in a battle of wits? You are a known winner here. I'm intimidated.

Well... he did shoot your fallacy down. I could name a few more, too. But why waste my time?

When our friends are the enemy of our enemy, we end up fighting them later down the road. And the OP mentioned history LMAO

Nothing in that piece is relevant to the issue under our current circumstances, which have never before existed..

If they never get the right to vote, do you still the same way?

And nothing again. Are there not liberal only boards where you could go, since you are not interested in any disagreement?

Not sure I understand your point. If they are American citizens - then they should have the right to vote. If they are not, then they don't. But I don't see what any of that has to do with the issue.

LL, I have no problem with true refugees entering the US. Thing is, there is no vetting program in place to confirm these folks are not terrorists. In fact, Obama seems determined to avoid any type of vetting. There in lies the problem. Surely you can see the importance of proving a refugee is who he says he is and has no terrorist affiliation or violent past.

You do not have your Nazi history correct. The Jews aboard the St. Louis were not denied entry because of the fear Nazi's were among them. You merely made that up.

As such, everything else you posted is suspect....as usual.

Why post here when everyone knows you post nothing but partisan foolishness?
