A new Bloomberg poll shows that a significant majority of Americans oppose bringing Syrian refugees into the U.S. By a 53-to-28 margin, Americans disagree with President Obama and many Democrats about admitting the refugees. Another 11% think that only Christian Syrians should be allowed in.
The poll also shows that terrorism concerns about ISIS have risen to the top of American's concerns.
More broadly, terrorism and the Islamic State group surged to the top of Americans’ concerns immediately following the deadly attacks, even as Republicans and Democrats remain divided over how best to address threats. The percentage of those rating terrorism or the Islamic State as top concerns has nearly doubled since the poll last was taken in September. At the same time, those who think the U.S. is on the right track fell to 23 percent, the lowest rating in more than three years. Obama’s disapproval rating rose to 51 percent, up 4 percentage points since September.
These trends may offer momentum to the Republican leaders of Congress as they begin hearings and consider threatening a government shutdown over Obama’s Syria policies, even as 64 percent of Americans say Islam is an inherently peaceful religion.
Terror in general, and specifically ISIS, the group that claimed responsibility for last week’s attacks, are cited by a combined 35 percent of Americans as the top issue in the survey conducted Nov. 15-17. That’s about the same as concerns about jobs, immigration, health care and the federal deficit combined. ISIS alone is the top issue for 21 percent of Americans, up from 11 percent in September. Terrorism is the top issue for 14 percent, up from 7 percent two months ago.
Despite ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Russia, 53 percent of Americans favor a U.S.-Russia military coalition

Send the info to Ryan and the dipstick Bambi.
To the Trumpbot, Ted Cruz is an “inconvenient truth”.
There’s more conservatism in Cruz’s little finger than in Trump’s entire body. They know that too.
That is such an ignorant statement! Ted needs more than his little finger though since his total support pretty much amounts to a little finger. Trump is giving the right finger though!
Yup.
Go, Cruz, GO!!
But sometimes you gotta take the bull by the horns. ISIS (the current military enforcement arm of ISLAM) cannot be reasoned with or debated into submission.
The Trump Doctrine calls for us, or the entire world actually, to “bomb the shit out of them!”
Also calls for a moratorium on immigration. And to seal the borders. And to deport all the illegals.
And, more recently, to close the mosques and Muslim community centers in America, ie, the enemy (ISLAM) command, communications and control centers!
Islam is at war with us. A brutal, deadly, holy war. It is the enemy. Looks like we finally have someone with the balls to recognize that and take it head-on!!
Works for me.
Go, Trump, GO!!
House bill on this just passed 289 to 137..
3 RINOs voted against it...Paul Ryan and what other 2 traitors ???
Yea Cruz!
don’t you get tired of these elite politician who’ve sold out their countries who keep telling us what is “UnAmerican”?
After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.
Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

By the way, this war has been waging for 1400 years and ISLAM has already conquered and enslaved almost all of the middle east (which was largely Christian or Jewish at the time), much of Africa, Asia Minor, Asia, India/Pakistan, Indonesia, etc, and have now fully engaged Europe and the UK.
And they’re immigrating, infiltrating and invading America!
This is a religious, cultural, political and deadly and brutally violent, long-grinding barbaric terrorist war against the entire civilized world. It’s a clash of cultures, clash of civilizations, and an ideological war of total annihilation! Totalitarian Islam demands that all non-Muslims must deny their God convert to Islam, agree to live as second class subservient citizens with no rights, or die by the sword!
Not on my watch!!

Works for me, I'll tell you what.

Amen!!
Go Trump Doctrine , go!!
(see tagline)
When has the peoples will ever influenced this traitor? He does whatever the hell he wants with Congress on their knees to him every step of the way.
Instead of the 250,000 he plans, he will now bring 10,000,000 Syrian refugees, but only if they swear they will commit acts of terror.
Not only were the Tsarnaev bros vetted, but the Ruskies warned us about them returning to their radical Islamic Caucasus homeland before returning to America...and those warnings were ignored!
Also, there were apparent security guys supposedly on our side taking pictures and monitoring the murdering twins, and they ended up in some photos.
Amen! And unlike the turkey in the WH now both Trump and Cruz know it and are not afraid to say.
“64 percent of Americans say Islam is an inherently peaceful religion” -— Wow.
Excellent, Jim.
