Jeb Bush Open to Letting in Properly Vetted Syrian Muslims
“We shall be Warriors who inflict disgusting numbers of casualties upon the enemies of our Nation and World Peace”.
However, it seems that a break may be occurring between Christians and the GOP over an issue that has become increasingly controversial since the Paris attacks – the acceptance of Syrian refugees. He also called it “lunacy” to admit Muslim refugees. The net effect is the same, and it is precisely the notion that President Obama and the Democrats have been guarding against through the precision of language that the press has abetted Republicans in deriding.
“He didn’t mention my name, but yeah”, Bush said when asked if he interpreted Obama’s comments as a direct shot at him.
“You have to prove it. How are they proving it?”
Rising anti-refugee sentiment: Obama was referring to a series of statements, growing in number and intensity, by members of the Republican Party encouraging the federal government to treat all Muslim refugees from Syria as suspected terrorists.
“If my father were part of a theocratic and political movement like radical Islam that promotes murdering anyone who doesn’t share your extreme faith or forcibly converting them, it would make ideal sense not to let someone in who embraces political philosophy and theology that says murder the infidels”, Cruz said. “They don’t normally come with embedded terrorists in their midst”. But what they’re proposing is a way of ending that commitment in practice, while still allowing themselves to believe that the USA is willing to welcome people who are suffering overseas. “And that is never more true than with radical Islamic terrorism”, said Cruz.
No, they knew that it was enough merely to say that they were going to separate the Christian wheat from the dirty Muslim chaff, to draw that bright line between good and maybe probably evil. (He then talked at greater length about “brain stems.”) Trump, in the past, has claimed that Syrian Muslim refugees can get into America “easily” (they cannot), while “if you’re from Syria and you’re Christian you cannot come into this country” (again, not the case).
Bash spent the rest of the November 17, 2015 segment on the senator’s proposals for combating ISIS. This is a threat against Western civilization, and we need to lead.
BASH: But if you were commander-in-chief right now, what would be your clear objective? “And so, I think it is very important for us right now, particularly those who are in leadership, particularly those who have a platform and can be heard, not to fall into that trap, not to feed that dark impulse inside of us”.
On Monday, President Barack Obama reacted to this suggestion with a few anger.
So, ISIS has all these sophisticated capabilities, but they can’t purchase trinkets?
BASH: What about American boots on the ground in Syria? “I’m too busy for that”. I think the objective should be destroying ISIS, and the question of the military tactics and strategy should be driven heavily by the expert judgment of our commanders and generals and admirals. “We need to be resolute as it relates to that”.
CRUZ: Listen, North Atlantic Treaty Organisation may well go down that road.
From the playing of “La Marseillaise” in American opera houses to the adornment of monuments and landmarks around the world with the French tricolor, the reaction to the terrorist attacks in Paris that left at least 129 people dead have inspired a global outpouring of sympathy. What utter nonsense. Look, that sentence sums up everything that is wrong with the Obama/Clinton foreign policy.
