From Syria to SC...

The biggest problem with this mess is that the Federal Government can always threaten to withhold funding (that was taken from the state and working state residents) to force the states to do something that's against their will. That's how we got the seatbelt law and now the Syrian refugees.

I am angry - we should all be angry.

Want to know more about this idea? Then read South Dakota vs Dole where the Supreme Court discussed this issue.

I'm against it, but more disappointed in SC for becoming so dependant upon Federal money that the citizens of SC are forced to be controlled by the whims of the Federal government due to our need for handouts.

The majority of these people are trying to escape a hell none of us can imagine and keep their children safe, wouldn't you do the same?

Plenty of Christians are trying to escape that "hell" also yet we refuse to take any of them in. How do you know that these people "don't" want to hurt us? Just a hunch you have?

[Saltydog235]

Maybe the majority is but you got some coming here on a free ride & tax payers dime to KILL YOU....Let that sink in.

Our veterans are living a hell also along with many of our elderly. Wish we were this quick to help them. Probably zero chance they kill any of us either.

Look how freaking European we have become.

Yeah, we sure do. We've got a lot of them that have been here for a long time already, just waiting for the moment they are called to action. Our southern border has let far more men and materials into this country than a refugee program has.

And I agree 100% but helping Syrian refugees trumps the what, $500 billion we just handed to Iran or the billions more we give away to governments that hate us. All of those expenditures could be used for our Veterans, and I agree they should take precedence over anyone, especially freeloaders. We got a big problem with that shit, no denying it.

You mean like most of the refugees hate us?

How do you know the gang down the street doesn't want to harm you? How do you know the fellow behind you in line at the grocery store doesn't want to harm you? How do you know you aren't being followed today and your family targeted by someone for a home invasion, rape and murder? How do you know a Dylan Roof, Adam Lanza, James Holmes etc type isn't going to your kid's school today or the movie theater tomorrow night?

Is being killed by a madman who happens to be an American citizen any better than being killed by a terrorist?

I don't live my life in fear of what might happen to me. The Good Lord assigned my date and time before I was ever born. Living in fear of what might happen means you aren't living for what you can do to make things better for yourself or others.

Be vigilant, aware of your surrounding and go about life. Anything less is giving these crazy people exactly what they want.

[Saltydog235]

Have you met most of these refugees? Have you spoken with them to find out if they hate us? Or are you making an assumption based on the fear of the unknown?

When we evacuated Saigon in 1975, did those refugees come to America and run VC style attacks across the country?

I agree, but we know for a fact that these people want to harm us and we have "no" knowledge of their past. Would you want the KKK or Black Panthers moving beside you? Don't you think we should be taking the Christians first? Why are we only taking Muslim's? Why is it mostly middle aged men? Where are the woman and children? Why is Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Turkey "not" taking any refugees? Why is it only Christian nations that are taking them? I don't live in fear, but that is because I am aware of what is going on around me, and this is bad news!

Hell no they didn't. That's when we still had some balls. People feared us.

Now we are ,land of the sheep & home of the gay.

It's really just an application of common sense.

My man trump will fix this shit...

Poor analogy Salty. Those people hadn't promised to invade our towns and kill our children, and shown the willingness and ability to do so. How would you like a convicted sex offender moving next door to you, your wife, and young children?

Its funny the same people get on here and spout off about how the left constantly screams "racist" or "bigot" when someone has a different opinion on a subject then they do. But yet here they are calling people "bigots", "racist" "non-Christians" etc because they have a different opinion.

Looks to be a pretty even split among men/women and kids.

The Demographics
According to recent statistics gathered by the United Nations and updated Nov. 17, there are 4,289,792 registered Syrian refugees, and about 22 percent of those refugees are men between the ages 18 and 59. The hypothetical young male “fighting age” range is most likely narrower in reality. Also contrary to common belief, the majority (50.3 percent) of refugees are female, and an even higher majority (51.2 percent) are children under 17 years of age.

As for the NBPP or KKK, it's a free country, if they can afford the mortgage they can move anywhere they want. The Constitution grants them the right to be shitheads, nothing you can do about that. Damn sure they wouldn't be any more dangerous than the old lady down the street that goes 45 through the neighborhood and yells at kids riding their bikes in the street. Though I think I sorted that out the other week, haven't heard a peep out of her since.

As to the Christian aspect, there is no answer. Christians are being persecuted everywhere in the world right now as are the Jews. Nothing new there, God tells us it will happen.

Look, I'm not saying this shit is ideal. It is far from it. The fact is since BHO took office a blind eye has been turned to what happened on 9/11. The leadership in this nation has been setting things up to allow another massive attack on the country. However, I doubt very seriously it comes through the refugee program, more likely from infiltration through the border. It's sad to think about but, it is going to happen at some time in the near future.

Salty,

Do you trust the govt?

Had one in my old neighborhood, everyone knew about him and he knew everybody was watching him like a hawk. Bad people are everywhere, you can't regulate that. Bad things are going to happen, it's up to you to make sure you are aware of your surroundings and keep a watchful eye.

[Saltydog235]

Salty,

Do you trust the govt?

No, I don't. I also don't live in fear of what goes on daily either. I go about life and change the things that I can affect and don't worry about the rest.

[duckman88]

Salty,

Do you trust the govt?

Good grief this is not rocket science people. I am in total agreement with salty. I do not trust the government, I doubt he does either but that is not the point. These refugees are coming, plain and simple. His point is that you should be as vigilant at your evening bunko get together as you should be if you are surrounded by 1000 muslims. It doesn't make a difference. The degree to which some of you manly internet bad asses are freaking out is comical

[MolliesMaster]

I'm not sure if Salty is just the pot stirrer here or just riding with his blinders on with this one.

If you can't see why letting in thousands of people, who we have no background on, that come from a culture who is indoctrinated from birth to hate us is a bad idea, well...

But it is also our job protect our kids the best we can. If you don't think they are using the refugee program to orchestrate attacks, you are mistaken!

One could argue that this has been going on for a looong time already both from within and outside our country.
