During a televised debate, last week, candidate for U.S. Congress Staci Appel (D-IA) opposed the idea of revoking passports of Americans who have admitted to joining and fighting with terrorist organizations.
Appel said, “I would not be urging taking away their passports. I think we need to make sure that we work through the system and look through it on a very diligent basis.” Her comment came after Republican candidate David Young said that if he were elected to Congress, he would call on the State Department to revoke the passports of admitted terrorists. Young, who previously served as U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley’s chief of staff said, “our State Department has that authority. Right now, they’re not doing it. They’re guising it under the gauge of religious freedom — that’s absurd to me.”

According to various estimates, there are anywhere from twelve to hundreds of Americans currently fighting with terrorists overseas. Even if the number is as low as twelve - that's obviously too many radicalized traitors to be welcoming back to the homeland. One would think that that would be obvious. But apparently it isn't to the Obama State Department, or to Democrats like Staci Appel.
Naturally, Iowa Republicans have been quick to turn the issue into campaign fodder.

“I think we need to make sure that we work through the system and look through it on a very diligent basis.”
Wut?
Take away their citizenship, let them languish in the hell hole they have chose to call home.
Staci Appel is continuing the Democrat Party tradition of Obamanation: Destroy America at all costs!

Captures it perfectly.
Of course not. She cannot tell the difference between a terrorist and a patriot. Probably because her ideal of a patriot hates America as much as the jihadists.
They aren’t Americans. They are enemies of America, like Baraq O’Hammed.
Of course not.
Interpretation: She likes to see Christians get their heads cut off. She just realize doesn’t hers will get cut off too once she’s no longer useful. Not too much common or duscernment among her kind.

The concept is fine, but immediately it will be called “profiling” or “racist” and then citizens will be the ones to pay.
TTIUWP’s..
Need to ascertain her stupidity. ..
And what will we do to a returning American ISIS jihadist known to have participated in mass murder?
Likely because there’s nothing about which she disagrees with ISIS.
When an American leaves the country to fight or support ISIS, aren’t they aiding a terrorist organization? I believe that is a crime or is our Justice department condoning this behavior also? The Liberals are such fools.
Does she know if those with American passports did not cut off the breasts of Christian girls?
The unedited photos can be searched.
That’s exactly what I said. Either we are too ignorant to understand such brilliant intellect, or she is as dumb as a box of rocks.
