    Baby steps, YF. We'll get there. I hope there wasn't a whole lot of sneezing in the room when they dusted off that Nazi playbook.

    Stop mincing words. Tell YF you want him to die. It's the least you can do to support your three-dimensional brethren.

    How do we know it's fake news? People are talking.

    I don't understand how we celebrate our multiculturalism by bringing in folks who reject multiculturalism.

    To what degree to we bend our values?

    If someone believes in FMG, should we let them in? Should we allow FGM to be performed in America?

    As for the San Bernardino marriage, they didn't meet and fall in love. He solicited and found a bride who wore a burqa. Is that a good enough reason for us to grant a visa?

    It's based on the threat of persecution.

    Religious persecution has always been a reason for consideration for refugee status, and we've always required that you prove your status.

    This is fucking crazy.

    But, currently, we work with refugee camps that aren't safe for Christians.

    So, we bring in refugees who aren't even willing to share a refugee center with anyone who doesn't share their religion.

    This makes no sense, and explains why so few Christians have arrived here as refugeee.

    Look at it this way. Every terrorist attack likely kills people who didn't agree with Gee, so they deserved it anyway. Therefore, any temporary immigration stoppage not only keeps out good people, but it has the potential to reward bad people who SHOULD die.

    Not true. Almost as many Christians as Muslims were admitted as refugees in 2016. The country with the most refugees admitted, and I admit this one surprised me, was Democratic Republic of Congo.

    There wasn't a single bakery in Dearborn Michigan that was willing to bake a "gay wedding cake." Now, these are folks already living here.

    We demonize Christians who would deny such commerce, but actively seek to bring in Muslims who hold these beliefs?

    It makes no sense.

    We threaten our own values when we bring in folks who don't share them, and in fact openly reject them.
