Obama: Syrian refugees are like pilgrims on the Mayflower
MSN News ^ | November 26, 2015 | Bradford Richardson

This Thanksgiving, President Obama is calling for Americans to lend a helping hand to another group of pilgrims fleeing persecution.

"Nearly four centuries after the Mayflower set sail, the world is still full of pilgrims - men and women who want nothing more than the chance for a safer, better future for themselves and their families," Obama said in his weekly address Thursday. "What makes America America is that we offer that chance."

While they were travelling here, they were a lot like the Syrian refuguees (those that actually ARE refugees, and not all are).

The difference between the two is what they did after they landed. The pilgrims built a settlement in a wilderness, had some bad times, recovered, and thrived. The worked with the locals and didn’t seek to enslave them. They built a place for other people to come and make a great nation.

The Syrians come to take what others have built and created. They destroy. They infect. Most of all, they harbor dangerous people who have only come to hurt and kill.

Here’s one thing that’s similar, when they land on the east coast they will find a lot of turkeys.

Unbelievable. Bible-based refugees is one thing. Islam-based refugees who, once dominant kill everyone who is not muslim, is an entirely different matter.

With Obama at the helm, all I’m thankful for right now is oxygen.

According to the left pilgrims brought disease, death, destruction and a new religion. So it looks like he’s right, by his point of view.

Aren’t these the same people (liberals) that complain that the pilgrims were a bunch of genocidal killers that came to America and wiped out the natives?

Obama would have sent the Pilgrims home. They were persecuted Christians.

Well there’s is some inadvertent truth to what he’s saying. Like the European vs the Indians, it’s a clash of cultures, and like the European vs the Indians, the muslims want to subjugate and rule over us.

The question then is are we going to let them do to us what we did to the Indians?
