Wise words

Hillary Clinton just showed why defeating ISIS and welcoming Syrian refugees aren’t opposing ideas.

Nov 19, 2015 by Elizabeth Chan
“We’re better than that.”




Hillary just laid out her plan to defeat ISIS and end radical jihadi terrorism. One thing it doesn’t include? Closing our doors to Syrian refugees.

“We cannot allow terrorists to intimidate us into abandoning our values and humanitarian obligations. Turning away orphans, applying a religious test, discriminating against Muslims, slamming the door on every single Syrian refugee—that's just not who we are. We are better than that."
Openness, freedom, and tolerance aren’t just values—they are some of our best tools in the fight against terrorism.

“Remember, many of these refugees are fleeing the same terrorists who threaten us. It would be a cruel irony indeed if ISIS can force families from their homes and then also prevent them from finding new ones. ...

“America’s open, free, tolerant society is described by some as a vulnerability in the struggle against terrorism. But I actually believe it’s one of our greatest strengths. It reduces the appeal of radicalism and enhances the richness and resilience of our communities.”

1. This Syrian refugee issue has me depressed

Thank God Hillary has it right.

I have friends and family who are usually sane who now have gone bat shit crazy. I only hope, like the Ebola outbreak, it goes away soon.

4. That was a great speech by Hillary Clinton

5. I watched it live on MSNBC as she gave it and I have seen many segments of it used.....

to illustrate the events that have been unfolding over the past few days. We can really be proud that the candidate that represents the Democratic party to the country and the world, is articulate, incredibly informed, prepared and brilliant.

No other candidate from either side of the aisle can hold a candle to her and she will be a great POTUS!

6. Absolutely.

7. K & R

When I think of Secretary Clinton speaking and then I see Trump, Carson and Cruz running around saying crazy things with their hair on fire, I know I am supporting the right candidate. You can tell future behavior by the past behavior, friends, I do not want crazy as my president.
