This Tweet from Bobby Jindal three or so hours ago:

“President Obama staying the course on our ISIS “strategy” is the definition of insanity.”

https://twitter.com/BobbyJindal/status/666279535537623040

And this one a couple of hours ago:

“I just signed an Executive Order instructing state agencies to take all available steps to stop the relocation of Syrian refugees to LA.”

Luckily we have a GOP governor. I know some consider him a RINO, but he’s spot on and better than a Dem with this move.

OK, I am somewhat shocked. Thank you Governor(s) for doing this.

I see an indictment in Rauner’s future.

Call your reps and tell them not one Syrian refugee is to be admitted to the USA.

You do not want another 9/11.

You do not want another Paris ...this time on our soil.

For the morons in DC who say we need to take our fair share of refugees, our fair share was 7,000 dead men and women killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and 50,000 wounded warriors.

That was our fair share.

The Arabs with all their oil money can take care of their brothers.

Not our problem.

Make the call. It is time the jerks in DC are reminded who the bosses of this country really are.

There was a refuge camp in Fort Ontario NY in 1944. Plenty of history on line. Also wiki will give you a bit of history.

We should consider a similar solution...if anything. (I don't want any of them here.)

We have a Republican governor here in MA but I’ll bet he does nothing to keep these “refugees” out.

I hope I’m wrong.

They won’t get on corruption. He’s already a centi millionaire and a friend of Rahm.

The doors I’m sure are wide open in Minnesota, Massachusetts California, Oregon, and New York.

And since the U.S. is one big Schengen Zone, how long before the ISIS plants hop on a Greyhound to all points on the compass.

The good news is so do we. The bad news is it's Kasich.

GREAT NEWS!

So now we have Alabama, Michigan, Texas, Illinois and LA taking a stand against refugees!

It would be great if someone could start a main thread, perhaps titled: “State Governors Who Want To Protect Their Citizens” or something like that. A main thread would be easier then all these separate ones announcing each Governor as they come up. Lets put ALL the Governors on Record as to who wants to protect their citizens and those who side with Ovomit, Bernie, Hillary, O’Malley, Rubio, Carson who welcome the refugees!

Well, at least there’s one grownup real American in Springfield. The rest of the children and communists are in Chicago.
