I'll bet they won't chow down with gusto on a pulled pork sammy offered to them during their interview.

President al Zero hasn't turned down any barbecued ribs.

Evidently, the taste buds can also practice taqqiya.

[nopardons]

You mean like the miserable SOBs who flew the planes into the WTC building, wouldn't dream of drinking booze and going to strip clubs, because they were such "good' Muslims? Oh wait a minute...oh yes they DID do just that and with gusto!

They'll eat pork, cross themselves, and lie through their collective teeth.....that's what they do.

[nopardons]

Ummmmmmmmmmm....that's why some Crusaders ( all Catholics ) killed Jews, FOR NOW REASON ?

And what about the Inquisition?

The witch trial?

The French Catholics killing the Huguenots?

There were Protestant witch trials as well !

There's more and it all happened long ago, but your blanket statement is patently ridiculous; not to mention uneducated.

[BigEdLB]

Yup, Ted dispels the “Amish Threat”. I can sleep at night. Seriously. I am glad Ted laid this out in a clear and organized way

[Eagles6]

Good.

[Arthur McGowan]

But...but...Timothy McVeigh!

Considering various tests to prove the incoming terrorists aren't terrorists is likely meaningless based on the intention of this https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/11/13/memorandum-distribution-department-defense-funded-humanitarian released Friday.

The questionable intention arises with the wording of the content of the memorandum and being aware of the signer's allegiance when, in his words as recorded in his book "The Audacity of Hope", "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction".

SUBJECT: Distribution of Department of Defense Funded Humanitarian Assistance in Syria

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including section 2249a(b)(1)(B) of title 10, United States Code, I hereby:...

...Waive the prohibition in section 2249a(a) of title 10, United States Code, for humanitarian reasons and to the extent necessary to allow the Department of Defense to carry out the purposes of section 2561 of title 10, United States Code, for the distribution of humanitarian assistance into Syria.

Since U.S. Code Section 2249a(a) specifically prohibits providing financial assistance to any country identified... as providing significant support for international terrorism and...

U.S. Code Sec. 2561 outlines 'humanitarian assistance shall be used for the purpose of providing transportation of humanitarian relief' it seems reasonable to me to believe Obama is aware he is importing terrorists by the thousands.

Not only that but according to the

(d) Report Regarding Relief for Unauthorized Countries... In any case in which the Secretary of Defense provides for the transportation of humanitarian relief to a country to which the transportation of humanitarian relief has not been specifically authorized by law, the Secretary shall notify the congressional committees specified in subsection (f) and the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Secretary's intention to provide such transportation. The notification shall be submitted not less than 15 days before the commencement of such transportation...

Certain members of the Senate and House new of his plans for more than two weeks.

[Arthur McGowan]

Reminds me of how Mark Levin says Obama is, e.g., the most Marxist President in “modern American history.”

Why the “modern”?

[Gene Eric]

Sadly, “Christians” are now differentiated from the main body of “civilization.”

[stanne]

Just blechhh.

[Glad2bnuts]

Why call these attacks “terrorist”? They are attacks by the armies of Allah, acts of war which we attempt to treat as crimes. IT IS WAR...

[nopardons]

You stated that NO Christians ever killed any innocents.

That is incorrect.

And your response is "Just blechh.", to my factual refutation?

Accuracy matters and blanket statements will always bite you on the arse.

[stanne]

Stop
Christians follow Christ

[servo1969]

Jeez, look at the comments:

http://www.texastribune.org/2015/11/15/cruz-discuses-opening-us-borders-christian-refugee/comments/

It’s 10-1 idiots.

[Biggirl]

Better to have Cruz for VP, working with the Donald, who has experience in a position of leadership.

[wbarmy]

How about a Multiple Choice test? half of the Christians in the US would probably flunk such a test.

Could not agree more. But the Christians in those countries facing persecution are usually made of sterner stuff. They would know what they believe in and will answer truthfully. The best way to determine if they are Christian is ask the question in the opposite direction.

Renounce Christ and we will let you in.

That will separate the tares from the wheat.

[CPT Clay]

Only allow Christian families in. Bump

I ve been DYING for Cruz to attack The Commie and bait him into a debate.

Obama took the bait today, but wisely didn t mention Cruz by name.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

-— Normally I would agree with Ted, but knowing the islamic tradition of Taqiyya, and that a muslim could lie and say he was a Christian, I say there’s too much risk. -—

Christians from the ME are Orthodox or Eastern Rite Catholics. Their churches are well-organized. Christian aid societies simply contact the bishop of the diocese of which refugees claim membership.
