I was arguing with a local who asked why I was getting so bent that Governor Malloy (D., CT) is letting in 1600+ refugees.

I said "Who's going to burden the costs?"

He replied "You won't have to pay anything, it's federally funded"

Sew: You can't let fear guide your morality...

Isn't that you when it comes to gun control?


The refugees are fleeing for their lives and have nowhere to go... This, is a moral dilemma......
The 300 million guns are pieces of metal we like to play with... Huh...
...and I'm not saying get rid of all guns,.. just let's be more sensible about regulating our gun culture...

You would do better with an abortion arguement, which is a moral issue...
... but, the argument there, is is the definition of life...
Once again, these refugees are indisputably life...not potential lives...
...and, I'm not guided by fear...


I specifically said "guide your morality"... we let fear guide us all the time...
I won't skydive, or try a 360 flip on my bike... but, I try not to let fear guide my morality...

Moral dilemmas have a resolution.

It is not a moral solution for the safety of our children  to bring and potentially dangerous terrorist and murderers.  we have no way to vet the refugees to see who is a killer and who is not  because the simple fact is, there are killers among them. Don't even pretend that the US government can accomplish this, that's a joke.

My governor thinks we have a screening process... he says

Of course, this moron was voted worst governor in America and thinks that you don't need a background check to buy a firearm.

Kinda, is the end results of your "moral" decision sustainable without impinging on the rights of others?

I not sure how we even vet these refugees, which seems to be the question that needs to be addressed before we can even debate its merit.

But sadly, as we see Obama rush to a mass killing by a deranged person, or the right using the terrorist as fuel to muster fear on this issue, any sustainable solutions are not the motivation I am afraid, just more kool-aid for useful fools, is all  Angry

We can't. Even the agencies  charged with doing the vetting have acknowledged that. Anyone coming from the middle east, especially Syria right now, is suspect. There isn't any "moral dilemma" here. I don't know why Obama and Hillary and their ilk are so all fired adamant about bringing them here, but rest assured, "morality" has nothing to do with it.

Greece is dealing with 4,000 refugees per day...

Western, civilized countries are courageously, and generously, doing all they can.

Except for us...  
We're afraid....

Why can't we sub contract it out, ya know, like to Amazon.

I jest, sorta, but isn't it odd private companies can almost vet instantly any commerce transaction the world over, and yet, it takes our gubbermint so much time and energy to do the most simplest task....
Just ask a VET who is trying to claim his rights  Angry
