A fun Facebook gimmick would be to respond to any angry right wing post with something along the lines of "what? That's not what Obama said happened" and act totally incredulous that Obama could ever be wrong. You know, like the type of liberals they think exist

Let me ask you this. You are a boat Captain. Your boat holds 50 passengers and you have 45 onboard. You receive a distress call from a boat that has been intentionally sunk by someone onboard. The person responsible is not known. You arrive on scene and find 15 people in the water. As a boat Captain your first responsibility is to protect your boat and your passengers You cannot bring everyone in the water onboard because you will overload the boat. You can bring 5 people but you run the risk of bringing the saboteur onboard, again, endangering your boat and people already on board. You can vet the survivors to try to keep the saboteur from coming onboard but there still is risk. You realize you can provide life saving assistance. You can provide a line and flotation material. Then they can be returned to the point of origin. My point being the US can provide assistance without bringing possible terrorists to the mainland. The optimal goal would be to resolve the issue in their country and re-patriot them to their country. As we have seen in Paris, a very small number of individuals intent on killing can create a lot of damage in a very short period of time. So what do you do?? I think we need to help our own country out first we have many starving kids vets ext. We brought refugees into the state/country before and it's hasn't gone well . these people are walking / riding around in brand new cars cell phones name brAnd clothing I can go on and on. But instead we should be giving that free home that free food free clothing to our vets and use that money that these Somali are wasiting on our homelss and help our own people. This country is crumbling because of our president who clearly don't care about the US but cares more about these people over seas.....sorry for the book just a thought lol.

HAHA. "Write Amen If You Belive That Jesus Is Always On Your Side"   Everyone is replying unironically. The massive and fast "Amen" replies always amuse me, is like "Gotta write Amen as fast as possible before baby Jesus sees me!!" Edit: Censored some of the names...

Just got my first sighting in the wild of a friend of a friend posting the thing about "Allah, the moon god of Arabia." It feels like a rite of passage. Though I have to say, I have some friends from when I worked at a tiny private Christian college, and 99% of them have been supportive of the refugees

If things were as screwed here as in Syria you can bet there would be plenty of American refugees. I guess the South could have refugeed to the North during the Civil War. Although honestly, Black flight out of the South after the Civil War looked a lot like refugee migration.

Except, like, half of the original settlers in the seventeenth century, who were like, loving refugees. So America was founded by refugees. And the underground railroad, was people refugeeing out of America, to Canada. And the Mormons repeatedly fled American territories, to Utah and parts of British Columbia. And I'm pretty sure that quite a few Japanese would have gone refugee from the states in the 1940s if they hadn't been put into prison camps.
