Oh, conservatives.

I've had to unfriend multiple people today over the "keep the Syrians out of America because they're all ISIS and are going to kill us!!!11!! " sentiment. I thought I was ok after my newsfeed was all positive after the legalization of gay marriage but nope. I know, the irony in that fact I am a fiscal conservative is not lost on me. Lol.

Can I unfriend the governor? He issued an executive order to keep Syrians out of our state today. I don't know why he cares, he's never here. He's also an idiot.

I also just posted something way controversial regarding this topic.

Dudes, ISIS is here. Helping those who need help does not make ISIS go away and denying them help does not make ISIS go away.

I am really surprised by some of the things I am seeing posted out of fear. As a Christian, I think we are called to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, care for those who need it and let God deal with those who need dealt with. (I know my stance may not apply to everyone here.)

I'm pretty sure you are the type of Christian people don't have problems with. I personally always find you refreshing, even though my own views on religion have changed. It's nice to see someone who just wants to help others instead of judging them.

I have been staying off FB for most of the day. I have one family member who is raving like an idiot about this.

Excellent phrasing. I may need to borrow it if you don't mind. I really don't think the refugees are the problem. They need help and are trapped in a country full of lunatics. Of course a crazy is going to come with the masses, are we really surprised? I just don't think it means we need to cut out a whole population. There is plenty of crazy here already and they are doing plenty of messed up things with American passports in their pockets.

Dude. The other day a house about a mile away was raided by police and a large amount of "bomb making material" was removed. The owner of the house was not from Syria.

The moral of this story is that your religion and/or ethnicity does not automatically make you a terrorist.
