To Protect Or Reject: Syrian Refugees

I've liked the Occupy Democrats page on facebook. Lately, they have been making some good points.

1. You can't want to reject Syrian refugees if you've ever said the sentence "All lives matter!"

2. Why do conservatives believe outlawing gun violence won't prevent gun violence but outlawing abortion will prevent abortions?

3. We don't blame Christianity when someone like Dylan Roof shoots down African American worshipers in South Carolina. We don't blame Christianity when an abortion doctor is gunned down. So why blame Muslims for ISIS?

4. The real enemy isn't Muslims or Christians, or Judaism, or Atheism, it's extremism.

5. Republican Party 101: They love the fetus, starve the child. They love the soldier, abandon the vet,
They love the corporation, rape the worker. They love the bible, ignore the verses. Any Questions?

6. Picture of George Bush saying: It's Obama's fault that I invaded the wrong country on false Intel and handed him a middle east on fire.


There are more but they all have me thinking. Should we let the 10,000 refugees into the country or not? Bottom line. Obama isn't doing nothing to ISIS. He's drone bombing them like crazy. Declaring war is a whole other step. That would legitimize ISIS. They want that.

Bottom line on the refugees? There are a lot of other ways terrorists can enter the country without being accepted as a refugee. It's the same argument gun rights people use. "People would still get guns illegally. If they wanted one, they'd get one." Terrorists who want to be here and wreak havoc will find a way to do it.

Which brings me to a side note. I always wonder why suicide bombers just do it. They never say to the person telling them it's a wonderful thing "then why aren't YOU willing to die? Why aren't YOU the one wearing a bomb?"

Yes, in 10,000 people there are probably a small number who if not are terrorists yet are at risk for becoming terrorists. I do support the NSA monitoring all refugees and some sort of check before accepting the refugees. Having every director of every major federal agency having to personally sign off on each one is foolish. They are too busy to thoroughly verify the file in front of them. They are more likely to robo sign and take the risk. That's not doing it right.

The refugees are looking to avoid dying. We are so far removed from what their lives are like. We have become a selfish society. It's not right to reject ALL of them. We aren't tossing out the Christian terrorists in the country already. That group includes Westboro Baptist Church among many others.
They are just as harmful as Muslim extremists. But there will be Muslim extremists in there so we have to have a way to figure out who they are.

All lives do matter. Why is a fertilized egg more valued then a starving one year old? Why are Christian terrorists treated better then Syrian refugees? Do conservatives really think that they will keep terrorists out of American by refusing Syrian refugees? That's stupid!
