What does a coward do, two days after the horrific terror attacks on the people of Paris?

A coward denies refuge to victims of terror out of fear the terrorists will retaliate.

If we are rejecting the Syrian Refugees
then let's STOP saying we are going to war to "defend" Freedom.
Because that is a LIE




Cowards.


These are people who are the first to say that the United States military is fighting for freedom. Yes, as long as it’s in some far-off place, as long as it’s somebody else’s kid, as long as we can stand up during a football game and admire the fighter jets zooming overhead during a halftime Tribute to the Troops, as long as somebody can make a buck selling weapons, it’s all good. Because freedom.

But let in to our beautiful country some of those very same people that Our Troops were fighting to save? Not on your life! What if one of them turns out to be a terrorist?

Terrorists, or Terrible Twos? Many fear-stricken Americans can't tell the difference.
