Remember how GW Bush brought in thousands of refugees after his misbegotten wars? The name Mohammed is now the 10th most popular name for boys born in the US. Their first loyalty will always be to Islam.

Boy I wish I didn’t but I do agree.

And once you start getting into letting in ones with special circumstances it never seems to end there.

idiotic Congress again. Is it so effing hard for these assholes who immigrate to America to WAIT IN LINE and go thru the process normally? For F’s sake, it took me years to get my green card.

Hadn’t thought of that. How can he, though? He will look like an ogre who doesn’t care about our “allies”. There is an old saying in Afghanistan.... “You can’t buy an Afghani, but you can rent one.” That’s exactly what we did there. GW Bush and his neocon pals like Wolfowitz are responsible for a complete waste of human life and US taxpayer money. When will the American public stop letting politicians talk us into war?

Ouch. Remember, though, they don’t need to learn how to land.

I knew the spending bill was too good to be true. Between this and 9 weeks family leave for an already over compensated government work force. Wonder what other BS is in it? But ya! we get another $1.3B for a boarder wall.

And then they get to bring in their parents, and their cousins, and their cousins’ families, and those families’ families, and...well, you get the picture.

The old chain immigration trick.

The parents need medical care, and the brothers and sisters need to come to make the family whole again. -Tom

In so many ways Bush’s Afghan adventure mirrors LBJ’s Vietnam adventure. But Bush had an advantage. He knew how Vietnam turned out. Yet W repeated most of LBJ’s mistakes.

Yeah maybe we can give them some jihadi training at one of our bases.

The good Lord knows the military has a bunch of them to step up to teach it.

Hell, maybe even Brennan could give a class.

We have many Iraqis in my town. The ones I’ve met are very cool, good American guys. Recently met two at my gym. Pleasant as all get out to me, and I’m a woman in gym pants and a tee.

OTOH, I’ve seen women in Burkas in stores ....not nice to see at all. Have no idea where they came from, wish they’d go away.

Yes, they are nice to your face. When there are enough of them, they want to impose their religion on everybody. Islam’s primary goal is to conquer the world for Islam.

Yeah, until they decide to go batshit Islam crazy like the naval pilot trainee from our friend Saudi Arabia did last Friday. I don't trust any person who believes in the Koran or Hadiths.

You’re right. I wouldn’t trust them, but at least they are polite and charming to me at the gym.

I was racing through bakery department of my local Kroger when I almost ran into two adorable little twin girls and their dad who was approaching them from the bakery counter with a huge cake. I said to the girls, “whose birthday?” Dad said, “Both of them” and gave me a big smile...he clearly loved those girls to pieces.

They he turned around with a frown on his face to a sad-looking woman in a burka, and told her which loaf of bread to buy. His wife — waiting for directions like some kind of servant.

I realized that the minute those adorable girls were old enough, he’s slam them into burqas too and treat them with the same disdain.

AND, also I was wearing a hoodie so he couldn’t see my hair....had my tresses been flowing, I’ll bet he’d have frowned and pulled his daughters away.
