Dec 2, 2015: Texas sues feds to keep 6 Syrian refugees out

"....The state asked the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas to block the resettlement and to order the defendants to "comply with their statutory and contractual duties to the state."

Instead of working with the state to resettle refugees, as the law declares, the federal government and the International Rescue Committee "have left Texas uninformed about refugees that could well pose a security risk to Texans and without any say in the process of resettling these refugees," the state said in its lawsuit.

"In addition to Texas undertaking more than its share in the task of resettling refugees than any other State, Texas has the sovereign authority and duty to protect the safety of its residents," it added, noting that Texas accepts roughly 10 percent of all refugees headed to the United States.

The lawsuit is an escalation of state officials' revolt against President Obama's plans to bring 10,000 Syrian refugees to the country over the next year, following on fears that Islamic extremists could hide in their midst.

Shortly after deadly terrorist attacks in Paris last month, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and 15 other governors pledged to block refugees from resettling within their borders, even as the Obama administration warned that they didn't have the legal right. According to the Obama administration's legal reasoning, refugee resettlement is a federal matter, and states would violate the Civil Rights Act by denying the migrants service....."

The world is facing the painful truth: we can no longer live with Muslims.

“We Redlanders and all Americans need to stand up with “common sense and judgment” with an emphatic “No!” to Syrian refugee resettlement. It’s time to bar the doors against jihadi infiltration,”

We actually need much more than that.. We need to acknowledge the pure stupidity of denying American citizens there constitutional right to carry a concealed firearm.

Virtually all of the attacks in America and Europe are taking place where general citizens can’t carry guns for protection. At some point, it has to become apparent to gun control advocates that gun-free zones only protect the killers.

When do we say enough? Politicians lead us, as sheep to the slaughter. We allow this naive approach to personal protection at our own peril.

0bama should be impeached for his refusal to acknowledge Jihadist attacks on American soil.

The President is guilty of incompetence at best, and treason at worst.

What is being done to the People, at the hands of our so-called "leaders" and the media, is truly breathtaking.

Any individuals or corporate entities that knowingly propagate such lies, jeopardizing the security of this nation and its People, are complicit in these crimes, and traitors to the Unites States: congressmen, media, bloggers, Presidents, judges.

This insane state of denial must end.

This bullshit that is being fed to the masses (by ideologues who are apparently completely detached from reality) is a national disgrace.

A few more incidents like this, coupled with the blatant and transparent lies from our "leaders" and the media, will likely foment civil "unrest" in this country on a scale never before seen.

"...human life is precious. We respect human life."-CAIR

Except for the uncomfortable fact that non-Muslims are characterized as pigs and apes in Islamic doctrine...hardly human.

CAIR suggests this was a work related terrorist attack...I.e. "Workplace violence"...or mental illness related...both handy and frequently relied on characterizations used to obfuscate Islam's undeniable culpability.

MSM reports suggest Farook was an environmental specialist.

The 'current-occupant-of-the-oval-office' insists 'climate change' is our most serious enemy/concern, and is using the UN (57 nation OIC puppet) & EPA...'environmental protection agency' to address those concerns. He also wrote ...should the political climate shift, he would side with the Muslims.

There have been multiple recent ludicrous public declarations suggesting terrorism was triggered by climate change/global warming.

I'm noticing a lot of coincidences with the use of familiar terminology being used covertly to support Islamic interests...including the climate summit in Paris, at which he promised mega bucks to fight global warming. Those $$. are likely diverted to further fund the migration and arming of these male able bodied migrants who became migrants ...allegedly due to global warming....etc.

Global warming= people waking to danger of Islam, the doctrine for eternal war against all non-believers.

This is timely.....well written......and common sense.

Trump calls for protecting Americans against illegals......and what Obama is doing by dumping Syrian illegals into our cities and states carte blanche is criminal.....no, it’s betrayal of the highest order.
Same with the no border wall.....He wants them to get in!

Trump calls for investigating certain mosques......again, common sense

Trump calls Islamic terrorism ISLAMIC TERRORISM......

“Sayeed Farouk, like Nidal Hassan, did not suddenly fly over here from Syria. But that only makes it more vital that we prevent the next attack and the next massacre by closing the doors and keeping our country safe.”

Amen.

The problem with being politically correct is that it avoids analyizing and addressing the problem. Greenfields opus in Frontpage appears to address the problem here. But his conclusions are confined by political correctness because when it aprroaches any discourse on Islam it does not identify and attack its assertions for existence. Its creed.

Greenfield is not alone. Military commanders as well as religious,and political leaders when called upon to respond to its resultant acts of inhuman aggression refuse to denouce its assertioms. Until that happens it will continue.

It is interesting the way socialists approach theological concepts but when it comes to Islam they are not the only ones who refuse to approach the issue. That even includes leading Christian clergy including Pope Francis.

Followers of Mohammed not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to kill those who refuse to submit to their version of Gods will. That is a basic tenet of that religion. A claim which goes unchallanged. While it’s understandable for atheists which most socialists are, not to approach that claim on a theological basis. Because simply eliminatimg those who believe in its execution will not end its practice. Islam must be discredited and condemed.

Its bewildering why many Christian clergy concerned about political correctness refuse to address what an insult to God it is and worse yet are unable to condem then convince and convert its advocates and adhearants they are followers of an evil creed .

The Koran which was not given to Mohammed by God but by some angel .Demanding enforcement of sharia law which draws heavily from the Torah.It is a pseudo religious concoction using monotheistic selected texts, taken and misconstrued from the old .(bible) and new testaments. Both of which cite the Almighty has granted free will to accept or obey His laws and is the final judge not man. Sodom and Gormora ,and ; Let he who is without sin cast the stone, are outstanding examples from both books. One deals with sin and God’s decision toward a group the other to an individual, neither is left to man.

Yet followers of Mohammed under the severest of penalties are forbidden to read either which would refute that assertion in a creed which institutionalizes disgusting arab tribal views, observances,and customs. Claiming adhearants are authorized by our Creator to demand submission to it or suffer an ignominious death administered by followers of Islam simply because they answer the call to prayer 5 times a day.

It didn't take long for the Islamic curse of death to spread from Paris to San Bernardino. It is not the Islamic mad dogs that we need focus on since they are only doing what comes naturally. No, the focus has to be on the insane Islamic sympathizers who all have red blood stains on their hands this morning, stains caused by the latest Jihadists’ slaughter of infidel lambs. The sympathizers are deplorable examples of humanity, from both political persuasions, who need to stop it, shut up, and go hide their disgusting selves in shame. But they will not. They will double down rather than have to admit their vile stupidity. They will give use excuse after excuse rather than come to grips with the reality that they have been so very, very wrong in causing this monumental, catastrophic, national security disaster. Words are hard to come by to describe a situation where well educated, grown up adults, force upon their innocent fellow citizens a circumstance that brings them personal harm and death. Worse yet, they have done this in direct contravention of historical evidence and the warnings of innocent citizens who repeatedly screamed out “Don't do it!” until these citizens were blue in the face. The only way to rationally describe this mass self-immolation behavior is that the sympathizers of Islam are demonically possessed like the mad dogs from hell.

It is a war between those who believe that men must be ruled by the dead will of Mohammed and his brutal successors... Baraq Hussein Obama is indubitably one of these.

From Redland to Paris, it's time that we did the right thing, for our towns, our cities and our country.

And that does NOT mean take crayons to the Bill of Rights!

BARF ALERT:

We do not yet know the motive, David Bow­dich, assistant director in charge of the FBI Los Angeles office, said at a news conference. It would be irresponsible and premature for me to call this terrorism.

At this stage, we do not yet know why this terrible event occurred, President Obama said at the White House. It is possible this was terrorist-related, but we dont know. It is also possible this was workplace related.
