My question is why are we worried about taking in refugees from Syria when Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates. Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait have taken in zero? Why aren't we helping homeless people in the United States before we worry about another conflict on the other side of the planet??

To me yes it's morally right to help people in need though in this instance it doesn't make a damn bit of sense!

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Here is your answer:

If you look at the sign above their headquarters, or their letterhead stationary, or any of their publications it will say ...

The National Democratic Party

... not "the Democrat Party."


Members of the Democratic Party are called Democrats.


It's just like "the Jewish religion" ... not "the Jew religion."

Members of the Jewish religion are called Jews.

Of course there are a few folks who call it "the Jew religion." Are you one of them?

My guess is that people who use the term "the Jew religion" are purposefully showing their hatred and intolerance against Jews.

I think you understand where I'm coming from.

Hmm, the Democrats elected a half-black man to the office of President based on the color of his skin.
The Republicans, on the other hand, have a black man running who is gaining popularity and it is based on his intelligence and drive.

Exactly who is the racist party here?

This is nothing new to anyone that's listened Conservative discourse in this country. They do it to Black Americans, they do it to Hispanic Americans, they do it to LGBTQ Americans, and now it's time to do it to Muslim Americans.

It's ironic how a party that claims Democrats try to create division and focus on race, will do the same things if it means they get to punish certain communities. Suggest that Muslim Americans are being unfairly demonized in this country and Conservatives will say that it's playing identity politics. Suggest the Muslim Americans get tagged and put under surveillance and Conservatives applaud.

In a few years time, when Muslim Americans start favoring Democrats 90/10, how will Conservatives shift the blame to say that either Democrats or Muslims are at fault?
Why do liberals call people such ugly names. I would stand on my head and whistle Dixie before I would ever use the hateful word "bigot." Nice people don't talk like that.

Lie to yourself all you want. Conservatives want to take care of Americans period. People like you falsely play the race card to deflect from the fact your president is a complete failure and a bald faced liar.

One thing that piece of filth told the truth about is using other presidents policies. It's a shame he used all the bad ones. Obama is a Bush uncorrected. Bail out your buddies and keep us involved in the Middle East. Neither of which works.

And why would Muslim Americans go to the Dems? Obama has murdered thousands of innocent Muslims.

It's hard for them to stomach an America where non-WASPs are treated equal. As the years go by, they refuse to evolve and seem more and more bigoted which is what we are seeing today.

What utter nonsense! Only idiots stereotype an entire group of people. Where are you getting this? Most conservatives are not that way! Or is this the usual tactic of liberals that hold up a minority of people in a group as representation of the entire group? There are plenty of non-white racists.

If you want to save the Syrian people, then go to Syria and save them.
