I think you are being obtuse, again.
What does being baptized at birth have to do with anything?

I suspect that most people who become Muslims don't change their name. Do you have any evidence that they do? Its certainly not a requirement of the religion.

Where did I ever say that only Obama was supporting this issue? You just like to make stuff up to justify your silly postings.

Obama is the president, he has made the act of bringing over of Syrian refugees a priority for his administration, Obama is promoting this issue. Where does it become partisan for me to point out that fact? It is our president who is leading the effort to bring over Syrian refugees, he even goes to foreign countries so he can publicly admonish and ridicule Americans for disagreeing with him?

What a bunch of mumbo-jumbo.

Once again, where did I claim that only Obama "is the only one that is supporting this?" I didn't, you just make crap up to feel as if what you post is relevant.

I pointed out that he is our president, and if Obama did not want the US to accept any Syrian refugee, we would not be accepting any. We are not the dumping ground for the failures of the world's dysfunctional nations. Obama not only wants to bring in tens of thousands of Syrian refugees, he is adamant about it.

The people of this country should have a say over who does, and who does not enter our country, especially if it's going to cost the taxpayers a billion dollars or more. We should not be disparaged by our president when we have a legitimate disagreement on this matter.

You seem like you would be very easy to manipulate. All someone would have to do is convince you that certain people were for something and you would be automatically against it.
Why do you feel the need to insult me for my position on the issue?

I gave a very well thought out and legitimate reason for why I do not want those refugees coming into the USA. You are the one who swallows the Kool-aid without a justifying a reason as to why. I don't need to be insulted by you.
