Quote:No, he's not factually correct.  First, any idiot can tell there's maybe 100 - 200 skittles in the bowl.  Even in the pantheon of Donald exaggerations, that's a doozy.

 

And Little Donald didn't say 3 were poisoned - he said 3 would kill you. That's not being factually correct, and that's not a good analogy for the Syrian situation.

 

Maybe America really is like Donald - greedy, isolationist, xenophobic and ignorant of facts, but I don't think so.  We're good people, and we'll eventually do the right thing by the Syrian refugees.  And we'll be rewarded for it with people like Steve Jobs, Andrew Carnegie, and Shahid Khan.  Who knows, maybe one will marry a land baron and be the mom of the next Donald Trump. 

 

It's happened before.

 

Do right by Syrian refugees?  Doing right by them would have been stopping the violence, not facilitating it by allying with radical mercenaries.

 

But now that we are where we are it is a difficult situation. You have American citizens, who had no hand in a war in Syria (and would be horrified if they knew what our government is doing) being told by said government that we need to be accepting of these refugees. Refugees who would likely still have a home had our country not intervened.  That would be like the government dropping a bomb on my house and then making me pay for it.  You can see why that is aggravating to many people like myself.  With that said, I do sympathize with the innocent Syrian refugees. I'm in support of accepting women and children. Military aged men should be strongly vetted.
