Americans should resist "the siren call of the angriest voices" in how the nation treats immigrants, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said Tuesday as the GOP used its response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address to try softening the tough stance embraced by some of its leading presidential candidates.
The U.S.-born daughter of Indian immigrants, Haley said the country is facing its most dangerous security threat since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. That was a reference to the Islamic State group, which has taken credit for attacks in Paris and elsewhere and may have inspired last month's mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.
"During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices," Haley, mentioned by some as a potential vice presidential candidate this year, said in her party's formal response to Obama. "We must resist that temptation."(continued)

So she sees them as the same? Compatible?
The establishment side - the political ruling class - the Chamber of Communists Cheap Labor Party ... IOW, she’s a “dirty, rotten, stinking traitor” to the Republic. You expected something different?
This generation is largely religiously illiterate.
Did she write the Speech without anyone else reviewing it?
Maybe she can’t wait to give Obama a hug.
She can go straight to the Devil, for all I care.
Her parents would be disappointed if she stopped going to the gurdwara.
The problem is the Big Business establishment types no longer want to distinguish between legal immigrants and illegal aliens.
Every time Haley mentioned “angry” or “loud” it was a direct jab at Trump. Shows what a GOP establishment, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio loving hack she is.

Should we ignore the siren calls of the ambulances that race to the scenes of mass murders committed by these immigrants too Nikki?
I’m tired of these new freeloading “immigrants” being offended by anything and everything American. All of these so called “immigrants” can kiss my red, white and blue @$$. I’m not giving up my American history, culture, values, guns or anything else American just so these freeloading cowards who are too afraid to fight for own country won’t be “offended”. I recommend all other Americans do the same.
Sounds like the GOPe wrote the speach to put a damper on Cruz, Trump and others outside the mainstream.
I agree.
Islam is neither.
Legal immigrants are just as bad. We have too many, most refuse to assimilate and we are rapidly becoming a tower of Babel. Stop all immigration now! For 40 years or more.
I’m with you.
I’ll never forgive her for defacing the Confederate Battle Flag. You can tell that “She ain’t from around here”, and as a “goober”, does not understand our history, our culture or what is important to real Americans..Haley is a token, PC Governor, and an embarrassment to the republicans, (as if they need any more embarrassments).
Sikhs got it in the neck from the Moslems—who killed their holy men and murdered followers. They have little love for the followers of Mohammed.
Well huh. As far as general morality they don’t do bad. Sikh theology, however... Wikipedia calls it a monotheistic dharma, or life-philosophy. It looks like it arose among Hindu tradition. Unclear about all the details that they ascribe to their deity. But that’s 5 minutes in Wikipedia.
Discussion could easily, I foresee, get into a ball of wax about whether it’s possible for the God that Abrahamic faiths know directly to appear behind a kind of mask unto belief systems like this. It’s one that wouldn’t overtly disagree with a lot of Christian concepts, even that of one supernatural God.
She ought to be preaching gospel to them, though. I will say that. Get the mask out of the way.
The way Barry and Nikki are making it seem, everything was hunky dory and one tiny provocation by Islamic terror and we jumped for the pitchforks. When in truth we have been kissing butt and holding back for attack after attack after attack, putting as our country’s priority, above our safety, mind you, Political Correctness and the big show to not be “racist.” We aren’t jumping out of the boiling pot angry. We’ve been sitting in that warm water too long, just taking it and taking it. At some point we deserve our anger. (And that point was in the past.)
Politically you’re right. This shouldn’t explain some indulgent feeling for Muslims in our current situation.
