In a nutshell, this is exactly what we are doing when we allow "refugees" from hostile territories into America.

The Trojan horse analogy is appropriate.

No not all are dangerous. The MAJORITY aren't I'm sure, but as we can see, it only takes a few to do some massive damage.


Why does this concept not make sense to so many?


Pick your favorite high crime neighborhood in your area.

Would you just let someone into your home from these areas if they came knocking on your door?


Forget about all the ways media spins this concept and just think about this for a second, and then respond.

I personally would not.

But the limousine liberals and the Alt-left are more than happy to allow dangerous thugs into other peoples homes.

How many refugees are residing in Malibu, Martha's vineyard, etc.

Exactly, I'd like to see Obama move about 1,000 Middle Eastern refugees to Nantucket and see what happens.

These are not unknown strangers. These are devout Muslims, i.e. radical jihadist terrorists. The belong to a religion whose founder commanded his followers to kill all non-Muslims.

Lol, putting this issue in such simplistic terms will just make those who support the refugee program build pressure until their heads BLEVE. Which is interesting since they tout "common sense" as the foundation of their arguments. Yes, the Trojan Horse analogy is quite appropriate. The ancient saying coined out of Homers story to "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts" can perhaps be modified to say "Beware of Islamists bringing cultural enrichment".


I'd like to know just exactly how Islam has "enriched" our society, as the appeasers claim. Personally, I'm not seeing it. Letting in people who's religion requires them to be at war with us doesn't quite strike me as "enrichment". A religion, I might add, that they believe in above and beyond all else. Their fanaticism makes the most fundamentalist and rabid of Christians look like a box of Corgie puppies, and I'm hard pressed to bring to mind any other religion through history back that is more violent.


Most other religions in this age have evolved with the times. Not Islam. They are firmly mired in 1800 years ago. How can such backward thinking "enrich" any thing? Except perhaps the leadership at the helm of the faith. They , of course, live opulently attended by slaves with all their whims catered to while the people live in mud huts and are sent to their deaths clinging onto promise of reward in the afterlife for their suffering. Hell, if I had to live like those people do I would be sorely tempted to just pull the lanyard on a bomb vest and see what's next too.


Meanwhile, it seems as if even the most radical Imams and Mullahs aren't above getting a little...Earthly reward. Lol, such it is with fanatical theocracy. Even in atheistic societies it is thus. The old USSR was a good example and modern Russia ain't much different. Nor is China. Sheesh, the US isn't any different in terms of the gap between the people and the government. When a billionaire will spend billions of dollars to secure an office that pays a measly 200 grand a year, that should be a tell.


But I digress, the leadership of Islam has a few less issues to deal with than secular governments. They aren't concerned with domestic issues of individual rights and "social conscience". Their GDP is all about Islam and they don't have any tariffs or such to worry about in the countries they export to. End use of the product is brutally simple as it stocks itself on the shelves and the receiving countries are even covering the cost of shipping. Again though, that is far to simple for the appeasement mindset to grasp.

I agree. Hell, most wouldn't let an unknown stranger from a "safe" and "docile" area into their homes either.

No I would not let an unknown stranger into my home, and if they are IN the U.S. Currently, we have a RECORD (or lack thereof) determining whether they are deemed "safe" to society.

Totally different concept.

Nice attempt though.
