Nearly half a million people have died from war-related causes in Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003. Are those the innocent muslim women and children you are referring to?
Yea that leader shouldn't have crossed the RED LINE. Obama sure showed them what happens when they defy him.
I have always loved that Padme quote. But the quote applies to Obama's bringing in of Muslims, not to us stopping refugees from entering the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.
You do recognize why it happened that way though right? It was FEAR that drove the decisions there. That was kind of the point. Look at what drives the cheering here. What is it? Fear my friend. Fear.
Did the IRA attack Americans, like the Boston Bombers? Did Bosnian Christians go running around killing people at Ft Hood, while Obama calls it work place violence, Did Christians in Lebanon fly a plane into our buildings. If you bothered to look at the link you would see that 95 % of the Terrorist on this planet are radical Muslims, not Christians, Hindhus, or Buddhists. Its only growing and Obama cant do a thing about it other than to cover for them.
Why wouldn't I want to protect myself and other fellow Americans from terrorists no matter what they claim their religion to be?
Unbelievable. It makes Obama look like a hypocrite.
Quote:
Mr. Obama grew especially animated about Republican demands that the United States block entry of Syrian refugees to prevent terrorists from slipping into the country. “We do not close our hearts to these victims of such violence and somehow start equating the issue of refugees with the issue of terrorism,” he said.
Without naming him, Mr. Obama singled out former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, one of the Republicans seeking to succeed him, for suggesting the United States focus special attention on Christian refugees as opposed to Muslims. “That’s shameful,” Mr. Obama said. “That’s not American. It’s not who we are. We don’t have religious tests to our compassion.”

What about the innocent Muslims Obama's killed with his drones?
Actually the states have the sole authority to do so.
The constitution authorizes the fed govt. to standardize the rules of naturalization and nothing more.
No, a governor cannot decide who lives in the state. A state does not have the "sole authority" to do so. I cannot believe there are people this misinformed. If a governor could decide who lives in the state, where would you live if they banned the ignorant? Does any conservative remember the Civil War? If the national government says you are legal immigrant or citizen, the state cannot just say you can't live here. If a governor had that power, some would have already tried to exercise it. Unfortunately for you, this "authority" only exists in crazy, right wing, conspiracy land and Faux News commentary.
It doesn't address the issue. People are concerned about the possibility of our bringing radical, violent kooks into this country. He doesn't address those concerns at all and just mouths platitudes about "that's not who we are" and the like. In other words, it's a typical Barack Obama "argument."
So, you can't find argument with his actual quote. You assume he wants to bring radical, violent kooks into our country--a country he, himself, calls home. Again, address the REAL quote and find the error. In fact, read the entire speech to find his thoughts on terrorism. He covers it in detail.
