    Lack of perspective? Yes.

    Lack of information? Yes.

    Cowardice? Not sure.

    And the question I hear from my family and some friends is: Why is America taking refugees? Out of a moral duty? When does America fulfill that moral duty? Does it go on perpetually?

    I think there's a presumption on part of many liberals that it's the right thing to do. I'm not sure most people - even some liberals - agree.

    It's a legitimate question. Why are we doing this? For whom? For how long? What are the repercussions? What are the advantages?

    Trump's withering worldview has traction precisely because it seems remotely related to reticence, to hesitation.

    Remember: Most liberal politicians, who happily welcome refugees, never have to live near them, and they never have to lose jobs to them.

    Let's not take Syrian refugees. Can we send the Cuban refugees back too, please? South Florida should be part of the USA, not Latin America.[/bluefont?]

    What brought this on?



    Also, too, the giant portrait was charity?

    He gave zero dollars for the last 6 or so years where there was required filings.

    I'd assume that I wouldn't have to explain to a board of journalists that the City Journal is a publication of the Manhattan Institute.

    Her commentary aside, the numbers should be troubling to folks.

    Yeah. About as much as Kevin Love rescued the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.

    Trump's withering worldview has traction because it reflects the fratboy-bro attitude of "Fuck you, I got mine, I'm gonna take all I can, and I'm gonna be the biggest fuckin asshole I can whether you like it or not, and especially if you don't."

    If he wants a pat on the back for it, is it really an act of charity?
