I thought the Pilgrims were suffering from White Privilege.

So let me get this straight.

The same people that tell us about how the “white man” Pilgrims came over and “stole” the land from the Indians, killed them with their guns, and gave them all manner of sickness to the “peaceful” natives...

Are NOW saying they were “refugees”, casting some sympathetic angle that they can then parlay into guilt-tripping people today into flooding the nation with Syrians?

The Pilgrims were Calvinists, so the lesson here is allow only Calvinists refugees to come to America. :-)

HuffPo is such a joke, over-occupied by homosexuals just like the NY Slimes.

Someone with photoshop skills should post a image of a pilgrim wearing a suicide vest.

That site should be called Huffmoronpros and should get official endorsement by the ADA.

Please return whoever posted that to the "American with Disabilities" site.

Even very young children, once the differences are pointed out to them can grasp the distinction :

Pilgrims:
a) The pilgrims were escaping deadly persecution
....The koranimals are determined to export it.

b) The Pilgrims did not kill randomly, in ways nor seen for
...centuries, in non combat zones.
...The koranimals kill men, women and children mindlessly. mss murder is their main goal.

And terrorist too, of course. The claimed to flee Europe for religious reasons, but they really came to terrorize the native Americans.

Spot on with your reply.

No entitlements, no expectations of health, when the pilgrims came over. Only to better their lives.

The same in the early 19 hundreds. The immigrants and refugees came to the United States to make a better life for themselves. There were no entitlements, no government handouts, no expectations other than the given the opportunity to succeed. It was a time when the United States needed population to increase to expand to its fullest capability.

Now we are faced with both legal and illegal immigrants coming to this country expecting a handout. Expecting entitlement. Expecting the government to take care of them. And we allow them to do so, and allow them to not assimilate into our culture...allow them to bring their cultures and rules, cultures which they flee, and maintain them in their communities.

They are not here to contribute to our society our culture our way of life. We no longer need the influx of labor.

The balkanization of America continues. And the result can be seen in Europe’s current situation.

Liberals Love the Compare Game

And since they are all so mentally deficient, they all are so embarrassingly bad at it.

Thank you Sir, and more to your point, it is now considered a jingoistic act, but I often wonder how much it contributed to assimilation when the folk at Ellis Island changed immigrant names to something more “American” sounding.

Let's face it, at the turn of the 20th century, John Fletcher had a better chance of fitting in and getting ahead than Giovanni Falcone.

....and history tells us what happens to a native population.

Depends on you mental age.
History indeed tells us what happens in clashes between civilization and savagery.

Please feel free to embrace the savage, if it does not threaten, torture or kill anyone else.

The ‘Pilgrims’ were of a denomination not attuned to the Anglican Church, nor the “holy roman church”.

In fact, a man named Tyndale (heard that name, have you?), was a member of this aggregate group, had been translating the bible into English, and publishing them for the common folks.

Yes, they were ‘refugees’, and yes, from political/religious persecution, unlike all those young, military age, in good health, mohameddan sojourners invading Europe now.

Assuming for just a moment that this ridiculous comparison is even remotely correct ... that puts us in the position of the Wampanoag Indians. Do we really want to repeat their mistake?

Don’t forget how they stoned and raped women, and used little boys as sex slaves. /s
