As the world mourned for the victims of the Paris tragedy and keeps their families in prayer, some leaders of the many Western European nations taking in migrants from Syria are finally starting to see the danger in what they’re doing. Whether this is going to stop them or not is another story in itself, but at least they’re starting to recognize the problem.
And on the other side of the Atlantic is President Obama, who despite the massing evidence to contrary, is under the impression that Islam is not the problem, and that countries currently suffering from the influx of migrants need to except more.
During a press conference this weekend he took to the stage to bash on Republicans for suggesting that the United States should stop accepting Syrian refugees.
These comments follow recent suggestions by Sen. T Cruz (R-TX) and Jeb Bush, who feel that United States should focus on accepting Christian refugees instead of Muslims. Obama responded by claiming that’s not American.
How would he know what’s American? He’s spent the past seven years destroying everything that once was American.

America’s Veterans would like to thank the Republican Congress for your support.
In a shameful display of partisan obstruction, the Mitch McConnell led Senate Republicans a blocked a bill that would have improved veterans benefits.
Senate Republicans blocked the veterans bill by using a procedural maneuver to invoke the 60 vote rule. The final vote to waive the budget point of order failed, 56-41. Only two Republicans (Sen. Dean Heller and Sen. Jerry Moran) joined with Democrats on the vote.
Republicans claimed that they blocked the bill because Majority Leader Harry Reid would not allow an up or down vote on an amendment that would have attached sanctions on Iran to the bill.
Sen. Reid said, “I hope all the veterans groups have witnessed all the contortions the Republicans have done to defeat this bill. Shame on Republicans for bringing base politics into a bill to help veterans.”
The chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, Sen. Bernie Sanders, said,
The only message that can be taken away from today’s vote is that Senate Republicans think it is more important to deny President Obama a “win” than it is to help our nation’s veterans. The bill contained provisions that would restore the COLA for vets, and protect them from losing their benefits in the event of another government shutdown. It also would have authorized the construction of 27 new clinics and medical facilities, and it would have provided tuition assistance to post-9/11 vets.
It is the kind of legislation that used to be a no brainer, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the same group of Republicans who think that they shouldn’t have to pay the nation’s bills also want to renege on their obligations to our veterans.
Senate Republicans committed a disgraceful betrayal of the promise that has been made to those who put their lives on the line for this country. I hope this is a wake up call for vets who think that the Republican Party has their interests at heart.
The Republican Party doesn’t care about veterans. This vote stabbed veterans in the back, and should make every vet question why they would ever vote Republican.
Says the Kenyan.
