Where was Obama’s concern?
Once again, there has been a horrific attack against innocent civilians by another radical Islamic group, and the news media trots out their stable of liberal pundits who blame everyone but radical extremists.
Now the American people are called “un-American” by these crazies, if we don’t embrace President Barack Obama’s plea that we take in tens of thousands of Syrian refugees. Kathleen Parker, another liberal pundit, calls any Republican candidate who dares to question the sanity of allowing mass immigration of people from Muslim countries who vow to kill us, as “morally reprehensible” and a “draconian measure,” despite the fact that we know nothing about who these people really are?
What is morally reprehensible is this has all been the result of President Obama’s lack of action in Syria and other Middle Eastern countries that has now forced this mass exodus. Mr. Obama is so concerned about the American values of saving these refugees, but where was his concern over the thousands of Christians being slaughtered in Syria.
The United States has just recently poured billions of dollars of humanitarian aid into Egypt and Saudi Arabia, etc. Let them take in these refugees for a change.
