Mother Jones: "Liberals Should Knock Off the Mockery Over Calls to Limit Syrian Refugees" (UPDATE)

38. I tend to agree with your analysis.

It being a presidential election cycle and the unpredictability of terrorist acts makes me want Democrats to be more focused and, well, calculating.

I've always had this complaint about Obama: he doesn't crow enough about his accomplishments ... and while usually that works out okay, in this case I think he ought to fully explain to the American people what he has done and what he wants to do. Because if there is a terrorist attack or incident inside the U.S., we need it to be very clear to the American people what the administration has been doing -- we can't take it for granted that they know.

And, frankly, I'd rather see the argument moved away from refugees and on to what the hell the Repuglican Congress has NOT been doing as far as a 'use of force' resolution for Syria/ISIS. It is the Repuglican Congress that has purposefully been irresponsible of their Constitutional duty to debate the use of military force.
