1. Let's cut through the crap: These Repub governors are doing this to put Obama in a bad position.

The disgusting part of this whole scenario is the 800-lb gorilla - Why are there refugees? It's because the U.S. is leading attacks on Middle Eastern countries, indiscriminately blowing things up and killing innocent people in the process. Those who survive are the refugees.

We're causing this mess, but we gin up the dumbass bigots in this country by making these refugees out to be this mass group of terrorists who will cause nothing but death and destruction if we let them in our country. Never mind other countries are doing their part and allowing Syrians in their countries, including France, who probably has as much reason as any country to close its borders.

The U.S. goes around strutting like a big peacock, acting like it's this macho he-man country that takes no crap from nobody. Truth is, we're afraid of our own shadows. And we let glorified idiots like Trump, Cruz, Carson and Huckabee be our voices.

I loved a sarcastic post from a few days ago on why we shouldn't allow Syrians in this country and have access to guns and other freedoms we enjoy: They may go into schools, churches, theaters and other public forums and commit mass shootings on Americans. Oh wait!.....
