Contrast


Our fearless leader is defiantly vowing to bring more Muslim immigrants into the United States no matter what Congress and/or his subjects say. While visiting a Muslim refugee center in Malaysia, Obama once again strummed the harp of misguided compassion in making these comments ... see: Associated Press Story.

I say "misguided" because our doofus president can't see the contrast staring him in the face. Malaysia puts these refugees in camps in order to keep close control on them. Obama wants quickly to insinuate these same immigrants into the American general population where the bad apples among them can cause their deadly mischief. Clearly the world of immigrants is not comprised exclusively of "widows and orphans" as our bumptious Barry likes to claim. Where there are widows and orphans there are also young Muslim men (and, yes, even young women) who seem to be quite easily radicalized these days ... particularly when indulged and dismissed by the leader of the "free" world.

Theodore Roosevelt was correct. The president really does have a "bully" pulpit ... even though this word had a slightly different meaning back then.

If it really takes two years to vet a Syrian immigrant, how were we going to admit 100,000 this year? This president has shown us that there is a wide gap between policy and practice ... unfortunately.
