CNN Analyst: Obama's Push To Admit Refugees 'Principled' Not 'Political'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/10/2016 5:15:24 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

As Rush Limbaugh would say, they're not refugees or illegal immigrants: they're undocumented Democrats . . . On this morning's New Day, CNN political analyst Josh Rogin [formerly of the Daily Beast], repeatedly claimed that President Obama's push to admit refugees from Syria and elsewhere is a "principled" position, not a "political" one.

Does Rogin or anyone else seriously believe that the admission of refugees is not of a piece with the opening of our borders to immigrants, illegal and otherwise, in an effort to flood the electoral rolls with Democrats-to-be? Does anyone imagine Obama and his fellow Dems would be pushing hard for the admission of millions of new immigrants if they knew, for example, that 70% of them would be voting Republican? Playa please.

CNN is a radical anti-American front organization, not a legitimate news agency.

If I remember correctly, when CNN first came out (I was in High school), it was actually about the news :P

Perhaps were the refugees starving moms and kids...but they’re not. He’s making it up.

“Principled” position - say what? What principle is he going by? The principle of Islamic Hirjah; the principle that muslims were founders of this country; the principle that Sharia is more socially just than the piece of paper made by dead white slave owners; the principle that the browning of America will bring a stronger hybrid people; the principle that Islam is the only true religion and must be spread at all cost no matter the cost in lives.

A very principled man our Dear Leader is.

Let him give up his gun based protection, also since he hates guns.

Because destroying America is the “principled” thing to do.

@joshrogin Josh, happy to entertain changing the reference in the piece. How would you describe your views? I can only go by what I read.

CNN political analyst Josh Rogin [formerly of the Daily Beast], repeatedly claimed that President Obama's push to admit refugees from Syria and elsewhere is a "principled" position, not a "political" one.

First, it is grammatically incorrect to use "Obama" and "principled" in the same sentence.

Second, as a CNN political analyst, it is unlikely that Rogin even knows the meaning of "principled."

“If I remember correctly, when CNN first came out (I was in High school), it was actually about the news :P”

I, too, remember when programs with the label of “news” was about current events. Now, even my local news is about five percent news of the day and national news. The rest is just one big infomercial along with Hollywood gossip and sensational trash. And they wonder why many people are just not watching.

"Obama's Push To Admit Refugees 'Principled' Not 'Political'"

CNN operates under different principles. So does Obama. Their principles are comparable to those of the jihadists who believe that sawing of the heads of innocents will bring them closer to their goals of world domination and their 72 virgins.

I agree. He is acting on a principle of “Muslims first.”

in a world where ISIS and various muslim groups are beheading Christians in their country...

the principled thing to do would be to give asylum to those being attacked ... NOT the attackers

meanwhile, not a single person in our country’s leadership will broach this bit of common sense with der leader

when that is the case, there is only one solution to the problem. remove them all.

I haven’t seen TV since about 2003, no idea about USA programming (seems to be a lot of cr@p, from what I’ve read here).

Dagnabit, what happened to the country we grew up in? And I am a young’un (born 1970 in west Texas.. went hunting daily)... I still cringe when I hear people saw something as simple as “butt” :p

Will we ever see the time again when people have morals?
