Missing Syrians and An All-Too Present President

The American people don’t trust Obama to fight international terrorism.

irst, a little inside baseball — at my own site The Hayride, which is a political blog mostly covering events in Louisiana, this is the busiest week in our six-year history and Tuesday was far and away the busiest day. And what drove that traffic was a story, originally reported by WBRZ-TV in Baton Rouge that we picked up on, about a Syrian refugee dropped into Baton Rouge and settled there by Catholic Charities who decided to take his destiny, and his whereabouts, in his own hands.

The migrant in question apparently chose to link up with family in the Washington, D.C. area, and after initial reports that he was missing, Catholic Charities and the Louisiana State Police took pains to inform the public that there was no cause for alarm. And there is no reason to believe that isn’t true.

But what the story, and the viral reaction to it, exposed is something that was but a mild irritation under previous presidents and a plague of public distrust under this one.

Refugees, after all, are not prisoners. Once they’re given asylum in America they’re not watched as though they’re criminals or suspects, and thus it’s not the job of Catholic Charities to track them.

So if you have a stranger as a guest in your home, they may wander anywhere in your house at anytime, all completely unsupervised.

Who does that?

I’m Catholic and I can tell you from personal experience that the Catholic Charities is bad bad news.

International terrorism? Sheesh, the guy (and I use that term advisedly) can’t even utter the term or associate it with the driving force behind 99.5% of it (the word for today is “ISLAM”), let alone do anything about it.

Screw international terrorism, let’s start closer to his level. I wouldn’t even trust this jackass to pick up after my dog or take out the garbage. Damn, I just can’t wait until President Trump or President Cruz take office and begin to clean up this assclown’s huge freaking mess.
