Hope can be a tricky creature.
After nearly 130 people were senselessly slaughtered last week in Paris, it was hoped that our leaders would wake up to the threat posed by radical Islam, and a weariness would settle in about accepting more refugees. Instead, many of our leaders and public figures have elected to bury their heads in the sand.
On Monday morning, President Obama gave one of the most tone-deaf speeches in recent history on the subject of the Paris attacks. When it came to the strategy for combating ISIS, Obama said Friday's terror was just a mere "setback." He fired off more vitriol at Republican governors than he did against Islamic extremists. And the president naturally warned his listeners to not make any connections between the attacks and the refugee exodus - as well as with Islam in general.........."
A mere setback huh? Wonder if he had lost his own family members in an attack like that if he’d still be calling it just a “setback.” This is not how one should speak when hundreds of people are so inhumanely murdered. I read an account of one of those who made it out of the concert arena alive, they explained how people had to stay in twisted up positions and play dead for hours or else get picked off. They were afraid to breath, twitch, etc it sounded like a nightmare.
Shame on him.
Well, unless he is willing to thoroughly background check those refugees, the threat of at least one deciding to go out and murder a few hundred Americans is a valid concern. Would Syrian Christian refugees be a problem either? They get killed out there.
