Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Monday (in a room with a governor who said he'd refuse refugees) that she understood the concerns over the security risks, but that the United States needed to accept refugees, as reported by AL.com.
Rice made the remarks at the 38th annual Southeast U.S.-Japan conference, in Birmingham, Alabama, according to the publication.
Among those in attendance was Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (R) who had released a statement Sunday that said he would not "stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm's way." He was one of 13 governors to release statements to that effect.
Rice acknowledged Bentley at the conference, but said the country needs to be "open and welcoming" to refugees.
"I fundamentally understand that you in a position of authority, like you, governor and others, in addition to having compassion for others, you have to be safety conscious for your people," Rice said, nodding at Bentley. "What the United States has done is to be open to people who are fleeing tyranny, who are fleeing danger, but we have done it in a very careful way that has worked for us."
I’m actually glad she outed herself as the overrated mixed-up bitch she really is.
Sick of these people. They have no idea how it is to live in our areas, to put up with violence, paying bills, etc.
Give refugees tuition-free enrollment to Stanford U.
Where does Condi live?
Yes. And if Al Sharpton were to declare himself a Republican, these same people would line up to support him for President.
She is just plain WRONG! Here again, we have a cloistered privileged pontificating about what WE should do.
Frankly, I’m really tired of these tired old establishment Republicans of the past. They have absolutely no idea what it is like out here in real America for working, contributing, tax paying Americans. She might as well be from the moon.
Words of egregious compassion from someone who lives in a high dollar, gated enclave of the privileged. Knock yourself out, Condi, but the rest of us designate those of you who toil in the ivory towers of academia to take some of these violent Muslims in and then get back to us.
This confirms why I do not like the Bushes anymore.
They are nothing but Chamber of Commerce shills.
DO not care one whit about working middle class.
IF you really GET the security concerns Ms. Condi, then you wouldn’t be stating we should accept the “refugeehadi’s”
Condi just stick to being on the NCAA ranking committee.
Yeah, right. And I guess we’re all gonna have to submit to the federal groping department from now on when boarding a bus or train or entering a stadium, attending a concert, watching a parade, eating lunch at a sidewalk cafe, etc. Just how many fanatical Muslim shooters and suicide bombers do you intend to purposely import?
Secondly, she states; "but we have done it in a very careful way that has worked for us."
Umm...I call...nay, I scream...BS, BS, BS, BS, BS.
Let’s say these refugees are good to go...no safety concerns. What is the benefit we Americans get from allowing more people into the country? Can I take care of my own please?
I'm proud to say that I was never in that camp! In fact I was loudly opposed.
She is just another of the large and very unconservative Bush coterie who, like Obama, believes it is OUR fault that the world is a cesspool and if only we were nicer (and weaker) the community of nations (sic) might all gather to hug and weep and sing away our differences.
I wonder how many peace-loving Syrians the dumb wench is going to take into her home?
We didn’t take refugees from 1926 to 1964. Why would we take them now?
Control words and you can frame the debate and control the “proper” perceptions of the masses.
Condi, dear-—we have an intentional invasion and intentionally funded century of wars run by your puppet masters-—Soros, Kissinger-NWO goons—the sodomite Lucifereans/elites—who want to destroy all individual differences in the masses-—create a One World religion and government-—totally controlling every single person and child.
Of course-—unity and Christianity has to be eliminated off the face of the Earth....Reason has to be eliminated-—so the irrational worldview of socialism/collectivism (dependency) is embedded into all children-—so they are SO DUMB (nihilistic) they will be “happy slaves” for the State.
Condi is a pawn-—knew it when she embraced teaching little children that sodomizing others is “Good”——part of the sodomite NWO crowd-—to destroy Reason and Christian Ethics -—to flip 2000 years of Good and Evil-—back to the collective pagan cultures for mass slavery (NWO).
