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.

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

Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia; do by these presents, solemnly and mutually in the Presence of God and one of another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation, and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid; And by Virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the General good of the Colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In Witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the eleventh of November, in the Reign of our Sovereign Lord, King James of England, France and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth.

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?
To: detective
He hates America and is now mocking our history. It is disgusting and the media are his useful idiots.

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?
