There were people who thought America would be destroyed when they let Italians, Jews, Irish and Poles in.
Very poor analogy. The degree of your denseness is impressive. ON IGNORE!!

Lefties seem to me very much like children.
You are such a breath of fresh air! You're going to discover there is not much room for independent thinking in this lunatic asylum.I've voted Republican most of my life, but have to respect Obama's political courage in the midst of the endless ass-covering and hypocrisy in politics. He knows that it is inevitable that some of these refugees will make him look bad (like the prisoners he is releasing), but he's doing it anyway because he thinks it is right.

One should always turn the other cheek, eh? Doing the right thing, taken to it's most absurd extreme, gets you killed. It's a dangerous world my friend, and there are many in it who don't give two shits about what's right, and what's wrong. I know the argument. We're better than that. That'll make a hell of an epitaph on Americas tombstone.I've voted Republican most of my life, but have to respect Obama's political courage in the midst of the endless ass-covering and hypocrisy in politics.

You wrote, "He knows that it is inevitable that some of these refugees will make him look bad". Now I understand that, and correct me of I'm wrong, that "looking bad" means he knows some of those "refugees" aren't really refugees and people are going to get killed as a result. The point I was making that while it may be the "right thing", lets make ourselves feel good thing to do in accepting the refugees, while knowing that some of them will be terrorists, isn't the wisest move to make. People will die as a result of the presidents willingness to "look bad". His primary job is to defend Americans, not look like a nice f'n guy.We're talking about releasing prisoners who were given disproportionately long sentences for drug-related offenses (because Clinton wanted to look like a tough Democrat after the '94 midterm debacle) or letting in some Syrian refugees who are screened in advanced. I don't think that's turning the other cheek.
