You see pictures of thousands and thousands of refugees coming over the mainstream media feeds. Mothers and children, families – oh, the humanity of it all.
Wait. Look closer. It’s more like a 12-1 ratio men to women and children. Tons and tons of men “fleeing.”
My first though was: cowards? Did these men leave their country and their families behind to save their butts? Maybe there are that many single men in the Muslim nations? Then I wondered: Why didn’t they stay and fight? Fight for their families, their homeland, their dignity? If they just got together, they would outnumber the ISIS fighters 100 to 1. Why don’t they fight for what’s theirs?
Then a sinister thought came to mind. (Being a Republican, I guess those are the only kind I can have, right?) What if all of those men coming over had an ulterior motive? What if this is a Trojan horse scenario? You know, like what’s happening on our southern border?
What if these thousands and thousands of “refugees” coming over simply want to create havoc in Europe?
OK, my mind is racing out of control. It’s Sunday. I’ll go to church, come back refreshed, and take another look at this.
Now I heard on the radio on the way home from church, and then I checked that interweb thing when I got back home. Guess what? I was correct.
ISIS flags are being found among refugees. Not enough? A captured ISIS smuggler confessed to bringing in more than 4,000 ISIS fighters. How? Well, the Turkish border is over 550 miles long and is almost never guarded.
While authorities are checking in the refugees and keeping peace in the cities, the borders and other avenues into Europe are poorly guarded or completely unguarded.
Picture after picture now shows these “refugees” coming in and fighting with authorities, beating the police with ISIS flags.
The Germans are floored. They can’t believe this is happening? One terrorist, posing as an “asylum seeker,” was arrested in Germany after he was found to be in possession of boxes of fake Syrian passports for use by ISIS terrorists in Europe.
Hungary has matched pictures of “refugees” and ISIS terrorists on the Internet. This is insane.
ISIS is telling those in the Middle East that ALL will be under Sunni rule, so convert or leave before we get there. So what do they do? They run.
Why not stay and fight? Why not arm yourselves and defeat them? Maybe because the U.S. and others don’t come through for them? They have no one to trust to help them. Nevertheless, shouldn’t they fight for their homeland and family?
Christians help Christians. Jews help Jews. Why aren’t Islamic communities helping each other out? Why are they running to communities that are not fundamentally Muslim?
Kuwait has accepted seven. That is not a typo. That’s right: Kuwait has accepted only seven (7) refugees. United Arab Emirates has accepted 16 and Saudi Arabia only four.
If this isn’t a red flag, I don’t know what is.
But the Saudis have said they would build hundreds of mosques in Germany to accommodate the influx. (Aren’t they generous?) All the while, they are putting up a 900-kilometer razor-wire fence along their border.
Huh? But they won’t take in their own? What do they know that we are ignoring?
French police are searching for terrorists among the refugees in the town of Calais. The mayor there has asked the Brits to open the borders so the refugees can freely pass to England. Really?
Why don’t the French want them? Aren’t the French a caring, loving people? Or do they know something we are ignoring?
Germany gave up trying to protect the border a few days ago, saying it was futile and they would find a way to cope. Then Angela Merkel came out and said they would take up to 800,000 and encouraged other EU nations to help. Right, because the EU is so financially stable and can handle the influx?
There are already people out of work in these countries, and tensions are starting to rise between the nationals and the refugees over who will get jobs when they became available.
Don’t these so-called “experts” in these government administrations see what’s happening and, possibly worse, what could happen?
While I’m writing this, Germany has figured out they can’t handle it. They have reinstituted border control measures. The EU, all 28 countries, are also rethinking the program. Many of the countries don’t want to take any refugees. What do they know that we are ignoring?
I understand everyone wants to help “refugees” and wants to make sure no more kids wash up on shores. But doesn’t security to the greater good mean anything to anyone?
We have millions of illegals, yes, illegals, in this country. Look at the strain on our financial system, in our job market, and in our schools. Europe is already on a shaky fiscal foundation. Is there any doubt they will look to us for financial help when they tank after this?
Those of you who keep asking why we are involved in the affairs of other countries, will you be asking the same here, or will you want us to get involved?
Will you at least allow us to “vet” these “refugees” to make sure they are actually refugees and not terrorists?
This is another failure waiting to be ratified by this administration.

I agree to mostly everything but don’t u think MOST people dont want to stay and fight because THEY WANT TO LIVE? If ISIS is big as they are they hugely outnumber everybody in the area cus if u cant beat em join em RIGHT?
So how about they admit all the children and women at least?
Do shhh bag
Lets walk a week or 2 in their shoes b4 you open up your yap. Such self centered arrogance. Problem with me rica, js.
liberal logic at is finest!!
I represent neither party.
Have you seen the images? It’s all fighting age males that should be defending their country. They ditched the women and children. They are better dressed than I am. Some look like body builders. They need to be fighting isis
Gee Hawd perhaps you do not represent either party, but your comment has a strong liberal tone.
You represent ignorance and vapid thought. You belong with the animals over there, indeed. Enjoy their shoes, bro!
Way to attack the person and not there argument
You go fight ISIS sense you know what’s up. The administration on this page is a moron, and so are you.
Ian Miller ; idiot. “Walking a week or 2 in the shoes” of unvetted refugees fleeing a terrorist stronghold in Syria is an argument? Umm… You, dope, are the moron. Keep smoking weed. You have zero logic with what you just posted.
BTW, it’s “since”, not “sense” (none of which you displayed).
Lame af…..
Gross.
About as lame as some one who calls themselves jihad….. Dumb ass
Open boarders cannot control who’s coming across, but they can control who they are sending!!
I’m kinda starting to not like Muslims but it’s not their fault, oh wait it is!
The extremists are to blame.
And the non extremist are to blame for not condemning the extremists!
An extremist Muslim beheads you. A non extremist supports an extremest beheading you
James Parker I think you got it right! I am yet to hear any supposing on extremist Muslims come out and condemn the extremists and the beheading!
Have you seen the images? It’s all fighting age males that should be defending their country. They ditched the women and children. They are better dressed than I am. Some look like body builders. They need to be fighting isis
They are all men
I hope Joe’s mother, wife, and children receive the exact same treatment he recommends. Also – sorry about your low low low ratings Joe. Desperate attempt here.
I just read that photo is three years old.

J constantly falling for faux fear monger news would be funny- except he sits on the school board.
right. that’s not a photo of refugees.
Is that a ISIS flag?
Stay in your own country!
So basically you’re xenophobic got it. You wouldn’t be here, if your ancestors didn’t come and kill the Native Americans.
Don’t use big words like that it confuses them.
Nope. I’m just saying no country can take on or give jobs to refugees when their own people struggle
People struggle because the wealthiest 1 percent have 40 percent of the wealth and pay less taxes than they did during the 1950s and the bottom 40 percent own .4% of the wealth the worst inequality of wealth in our country’s history
And we give corporate welfare to companies making billions of dollars
So vote for Bernie Sanders if you want to not have people struggle due to gluttony of the rich. Maybe they should be reminded it’s a sin. The pope just reminded the world of that.
I know why people struggle. We should help our own before anything. And I’m a huge supporter of not trying to help corporate America. I try and buy things made in America.
I think it’s sad how things are now. Yes, I know how my ancestors came here. I don’t need a history lesson.
And by the way my great grandmother is %100 Cherokee
And I won’t vote for any of the idiots running. Good day
If you don’t vote don’t complain
There’s no one worth voting for. Donald trump maybe. Screw the obamas, Hilary’s and jebs
Everyone can have their own opinion. So why are you up my ass
Remember there are more Muslims in the world than there are Christians
So you would like to kill a few billion humans?
Yup!
Are you an American?
Wow you boggle the imagination.
Let me guess? You do t believe in the second amendment either
Yes I am an American.
Act like one!
I am you are not acting with the integrity and ethics that America stands for you promote genocide
Remember the Boston bombing? Their parents were refugees
Just kill all the men that are rioting, and save the children and women
Didn’t know SCVTV was a hate group
Didn’t know Planned Parenthood selling aborted baby tissue and limbs was a act of civility? Be sure to send them a check and express your love.
Planned parenthood is preparing a law suit against the group tho committed fraud and other crimes in relation to the video
You probably support the wacko religious fanatic that won’t issue legal marriage licenses in Kentucky
You’re full of assumptions aren’t you? Explains your mental prowess…
Going through life angry and ignorant is really not healthy. Unless of course, you live in a welfare state like California. Then, being stupid has no consequence.
Democrats subsidize republicans
You really are a backwards ass hillbilly aren’t you? Getting information from Internet memes. Wow! Just wow! The first of the month is only 15 days away, so lighten up…
Just an FYI the lawsuit that Planned Parenthood is going to move forward on is due to being filmed without permission. The fact remains that Planned Parenthood got caught doing something that is not very ethical. Even if it is legal, it should not be done for moral reasons.
97 percent of what planned parenthood does has nothing to do with abortion so defund all of it that makes sense
Don Teller Yeah, no. Planned Parenthood makes almost half of its revenue from abortions. Its other services can be found at other medical facilities that understand the difference between murder and actual healthcare.
Name your source mine is The Washington Post
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/wp/2015/08/12/for-planned-parenthood-abortion-stats-3-percent-and-94-percent-are-both-misleading/
When all services are counted equally, abortion procedures do account for 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s total services.
Joseph was referring to revenue, not the percentage of services. By the way Washington post is not considered a scholarly article. But if you did in fact read the article you yourself posted, you actually proved his point regarding revenue. So I would say that article is great when describing revenue.
Better than faux news
Michael Erickson that is deceptive because surgery which abortion is costs a lot of money
It’s not a profit center
Sad how Don describes ripping babies apart as “surgery”. What a sick cold heart. Yeah, those doctors are really helping those babies out, Don. Sicko.
Don Teller Michael is right. Also, my source is the same article you posted.
So a 12 year old that is raped or an incest victim should be forced to carry the baby? Talk about sick and having zero empathy
I know Don!! That’s like 99% of the cases. Keep painting with that cliche broad brush. People like you are actually out there? What do you like about dead babies, Miss Jesus freak, Don?
It’s a fetus not a baby stop using inflammatory inaccurate language
You really are a sick one, Don.
I feel the same about you
Photo is three years old this piece is a fraud
Wow. Substantive. You’re a mental giant.
And he is smarter than you
You’re not a smart person. Just look at what you posted. Says it all. Explains why you are a Democrat.
Makes sence to anyone who isn’t brainwashed by the .1%.
“Sense” Don. Hey, at least you didn’t spell it “cents”. I rest my case, dummy. Keep going through life as a victim…pathetic.
William Reel you are truly stupid if you think spelling is a representation of intelligence.
William Reel i am a professional with income in the top 5 percent I am nobody’s victim. I just believe in empathy and caring like Jesus did .
Don is a cliché. You do understand that word, Ian? She offers memes…
Don, using “Jesus” as a guide for your political point of view?! #hypocrite
Nope but many of the people who follow him do. Just they pick and choose what they believe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD52OlkKfNs
Bottom line the photo used to insight hate is 3 years old and has nothing to do with the subject at hand
Enough of changing the issue
Typical republican
There is a much larger plan at work here. They have legitimate refugees mixed with undercover terroists. That is why is takes so long for our country to do background checks. We need to make sure we are not accepting terrorists. The more they spread out across the world, the harder it will be to fight them.
Show me the proof and fox news isn’t a legitimate source
Show you the proof that the more they spread across the world the harder it will be to fight terrorism?
Lol I would think that is fairly logical. If you want to see what I’m referring too, I would suggest you look at the way certain areas of European countries are being taken over and Muslim laws and customs are enforced. Look at the fact that Saudi Arabia would rather build mosques in Germany for refugees than accept them into Saudi Arabia. A little due diligence on this matter will allow you to see the direction. By the way Fox news may be one sided, but that does not mean that side is always wrong. :)
This is not an attack on Muslims, I feel sick seeing the photos of children washing up on beaches. Their faith has nothing to do with the fact that they are losing their lives. It needs to stop and they need to help the women and their children.
Don’t bother with Don, Michael. All you get from her is Fox News, Fox News, Fox News, a couple of disjunct memes and juvenile cliches. To honor her meme fetish, here is a picture of her hard at work spreading her joy…
Oh man, the amount of ignorance in this thread is austonishing. What a bunch of racest white people. When was the last time y’all read any Muslim texts or learned anything about the people aside form this crap and the crap on mainstream media, you most likely have never done that, and for you ignorance I truly hope ISIS kills you.
I have studied the Quran, the Torah, and the Bible. You are right most people have never done any actual due diligence on the Muslim faith or any faith for that matter.
But that doesn’t invalidate their opinions, especially if their opinions are based on current events.
That totally does make there opinions invalid if that don’t even know what kind of Muslim they are.
Also the picture is three years old, they are just using this to spout there unintelligible racest crap and it’s all white people.
Someone had a very sad childhood…(it’s OK Ian, the polite term is “social safety net”). I realize grammar isn’t important to you, so here goes ; you be one angry ignant hateful useful idiot for the Left. What’s your infatuation with “racest (sic) white people?
Once again attacking the person not the argument. Good job dumb ass.
I’m sad you made kids. Sucks there dad is a fool and they will be fools. Wanna make is personal we can get personal. Where do you live? I’ll tell you where i and we can have this conversion in person. You know a forum where you can’t attack spelling or something that has nothing to do with the argument. Cuz you’re not smart enough to stay on subject.
You wanna make this personal come to my house. PM for the address. Let’s have this talk in person where you can’t attack spelling and things that have nothing to do with my argument. You know some where you can’t just act likena child and have to try to insult people as a form of argument. It’s way easy to run your mouth on the internet do it in person.
I’m sad you are a kid. Hence, “Social Safety Net”. “PM for address.” LOL
Nice rebuttal, coward.
2nd Amendment ?
You really are dumb, huh? Not once were to smart enough to attack my argument. I don’t even think you know what a rebuttal is. I’m bored with you. I’ma quit messing with you. Have fun screwing up those poor children you had the misfortune of making.
Lol Ian Miller he is an idiot and a Grammer Nazi
I know, I was just having fun using him as my play thing. I’m bored now.
Back to your mom’s basement ; both of you.
You tools are a perfect couple. The hater and the meme queen who loves dead babies.
My favorite thing the illiterate Ian said was, “we can have this conversion (sic)…” Talk about cheap entertainment.
There is serious denial with this one lol
I like this picture.
Right wing and isis has a bit in common
Trouble. Just like a wolf wearing a ship skin…
While I agree with some of what you have written I do think the men leave alone because the crossings are so dangerous with many unknowns and like a lot of our own immigrant population the men go off to find work and send the money back home.
Sick ass pedophiles in Islam and they want to bring them here.
(QURAN 52:24): “And there will go round boy-servants of theirs, to serve them as if they were preserved pearls.”
(QURAN 56:17): “They will be served by immortal boys.”
(QURAN 76:19): “And round about them will (serve) boys of everlasting youth. If you see them, you would think them scattered pearls.”
David Darkstar
You have to wonder why now…..this has been going on for years…why NOW are these ‘refugees’ flooding into Europe….and eventually the United States. I think that needs to be looked into first before we bring any into our country…it is the Cloward-Piven Strategy to overwhelm the system….no time to check who are really coming into these countries and our country because there are just too many to properly screen….
