MoveOn wants to house Syrian refugees
Those big hearted folks at MoveOn.org are signing a petition on their website to demand that the US take in more of those Syrian refugees, according to Reuters. The organization of partisan Democrats formed as a grassroots group to protect Bill Clinton from impeachment, characteristically blames former President George W Bush for the burgeoning crisis in southern and eastern Europe as thousands of military-age men flee the civil war in Syria;
One petition signer, the Reverend Everett Shattuck, 59, a Church of the Brethren minister from Mill Creek, Indiana, said opening his home to refugees was part of the U.S. tradition of welcoming immigrants.
“Plus, we have to share some responsibility for that (war) because of our regime changes in the Middle East. Most of those refugees are a result of that,” Shattuck said, alluding to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Of course, MoveOn is where the Bush Derangement Syndrome was born and it will probably take decades to eradicate that malady among the MoveOn crowd. But, you know, I think that moving Syrian refugees into the homes of those big hearted folks at MoveOn is a great idea.
“I just pray that no terrorists disguised as a refugee tries to get in,” wrote Patti Perry of Cranberry Lake, New York.
That’s a little racist of you, Patti, if the first thing you think when you see military age middle eastern men is terrorist. Of course, the limousine liberals of MoveOn are only signing the petition because they know that they’ll never really have to house any refugees and they’ll be someone else’s problem, but I think we ought to do everything possible to include the empty-headed do-gooders in the solution. You know, help them put their money where their big mouths are.

It is way past time that Move On, Moved on! right to hell out of this country!!
It’s someone else’s problem until a refugee targets one of the several $30K/yr private schools where the MoveOn funders send their kids.
I think the refugees should be provided with lists of addresses of MoveOn benefactors. That way, they can thank those wonderful people in person.
Refugee Resentment Watch covers the problem. We import moslem refugees and place them on welfare ,section 8 even give grants into their savings account with more benefits available than citizens. As long as there are homeless citizens or vets we shouldn’t be paying to fly in “refugees”
Sooner or later they have to realize that they can’t keep blaming every one of The Glorious Leader’s fuckups on Bush. That whole “A-rab Spring” thing was all on Barry’s watch, and he picked the obvious wrong choice at every turn. Now the Middle East is even more fucked than it already was–living proof that just when you think you’ve hit rock bottom, some asshole throws you a shovel.
Not no but HELL NO!
Well at least they admit a difference between refugees from Syria and “refugees” from Mexico and Central/South America.
They are happy to have those Southern Americans in their houses to mow their lawns, clean their house, do laundry, take care of their kids, etc etc.
While helping ones fellow man……even those who would rather run away than fight for their country is a laudable…… there are a couple of things every country should keep in mind before accepting large numbers of them in.
These are refugees, not immigrants who WANT to become German, French, English, Italian, American or whatever. They will settle in enclaves of their own nationality/religion….. as they already have. Rather than assimilate into their new countries they will likely cling to their own ways of life and customs, language and religion. Given enough numbers they will demand the new country conform to them instead of the other way around.
Don’t believe me, look at those countries that currently have fairly large immigrant/refugee populations ……including our own.
Cuba, that glorious socialist island, will probably take them. And Chiner. Chiner will open up its commie heart. North Korea can get in the receiving line too. And let’s not overlook South America, especially Brazil and Venezuela. Nobody really hangs out in the Falklands/Malvinas. There’s a ready spot.
I like all the good press Germany is getting for “generously” accepting Syrian refugees. It wasn’t too long ago Germany was rounding up Gypsies, putting them in buses, and shipping them back from whence they came. The Turks living in Germany for generations have never been fully assimilated…. but hey, Confederate flag! Racism!

Now they have a former Communist leader with some jewish roots on her mommy’s side.
NAMBLA will take all males between the ages of seven and twelve, I hear. What a great bunch of guys!
Subway will probably open it’s corporate officer’s houses to girls of the same age!
Looks like Pope Francis has already surrendered the second battle of Vienna.

To paraphrase a character of Mike Myers, “How about NO, you crazy commie bastards?”
First, we didn’t create the situation. Second, we take in something like 70 percent of UN defined refugees already. Third, as pointed out already, they do not assimilate (see Minneapolis, Lewiston, Maine, et al). Fourth, why aren’t places like Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, etc., accepting them?
Yeah, no. Enough is enough.
^^^THIS^^^
“we take in something like 70 percent of UN defined refugees already” that sounds awful high Silentium Est Aureum, I found some numbers saying the US takes in about 70,000 refugees each year. Do all the rest of the world, not to mention just the OECD countries, share 30,000 between them? I find that unlikely, but I’ve been wrong before.
Watched more video of those people “yearning to breathe free” this morning. I noticed, as they were “discussing” their plight with the Hungarian police, that they were very quick to push the women and children to the front. Strange that, as the pictures usually show the women and children in the rear with the gear. Human Shields? Undoubtedly.
And where do they find those “common people” in the masses, who speak English better than 98% of the residents of Chicago or Compton?
Nope, not human shields; better PR.
It’s more photogenic if all we see are women & children in stories of the “refugee’s plight.” If readers realized that 80% were men, they might be less sympathetic.
I should have picked up on that. You’re right, of course.
The same reason the fools believed the 3yo dead boy washed up until it was debunked.
Fuck them,
Its like going to the nearest state prison after a riot and saying that the outnumbered gang that lost come stay at your place.
I wonder just how many George Soros and his fellow Learjet/limousine liberals will put up in their own houses and properties? Deeds, not words. And whose fault will it be when these Middle Eastern fleabags trash the places and steal them blind?
MoveOn.org: always willing to spend somebody else’s money, and let somebody else take the risk. If they get their way, people in the US will die for their foolishness.
If they want to put their own money where their mouths are, and take in people into their own homes at their own risk and expense, this can surely be arranged.
Meanwhile, the Department of State is years behind in approving visas fro translators who actually helped us, and whose lives and families remain endangered.
I’d like to play a rousing match of rock, paper, throat punch with these assholes.
Fuck that jazz.
These aren’t refugees. They are colonists from a antithetical western political ideology looking for resources. Western civilization is committing suicide by allowing this to occur as though they have no right to protect their resources, culture, and form of governance.
Notice they are bypassing several countries that are much closer, speak the language, and aren’t completely the opposite culture.

Coming to a city near you!
Youtube blocks reality pretty quick.
Just give it another year, and see how things will be even more “effed” up. The next POTUS will have a true mess to deal with, not to mention ISIS will be that much stronger.
Drunkle Joe has a shotgun and he knows how to use it, pal.
“MoveOn wants to house Syrian refugees”
Misleading headline! It should read,
“MoveOn wants YOU to house Syrian Refugees.”
How does “No” work, hmmmm?
Sure, as long as they keep them in Boston, Chicago, DC, NYC, Philly, Seattle, LA, and San Francisco.
