i honestly don't know, but i would imagine, that the 70k is so high b/c of the syrian war and 5 years ago we weren't taking in nearly as many from syria

I agree it's confusing. Still apparently only taking in 10,000 Syrian refugees. That's a far-cry from Western Europe.

And full disclosure. I know quite a few Syrian folks in SWLA. Good peeps. Not to mention mostly Roman Catholic.

And if they didn't want to be called out on this, they shouldn't have been going around for the last century and a half saying that this is what they wanted to do.

yeah i mean it's not this secret. go read any major progressive and it always comes back to attacking the west and western values

why? because it works and the west elevated its cultural grouping above all others.

now i'm not saying every behavior of the west was pristine and moral, but i am saying that only the west is examined, historically, in terms of the modern morality that it created. the atrocities of marginalized cultures are either ignored or linked to the west poisoning a noble savage culture (typically via imperialism)

non-western cultures aren't attacked for their x-isms (racism, sexism, imperialism, tranphobia, etc)

non-western cultures don't have that moral standing because, well, they're not western

One of my great aunts was a Lebanese Syriac, but I think her folks were French before that, she didn't even look mildly Mediterranean.

it's like how some extreme feminists wont' even acknowledge that male testosterone levels and other biological factors make men physically stronger and more explosive than women. certain crackpots think we all are born equal and socialization explains the difference

Not just "crackpots." I watched an episode of Mythbusters in which they "proved" that "throwing like a girl" is just a social construct. Their conclusion was that girls throw just as well because they could hit the same targets that boys could - completely ignoring the fact that their pro softball playing girl's fastest pitch was 65 mph, which they said was remarkable.

This is one of feminism's wackiest stances, and when ALL of their most sacred values are burned to the ground by core islamic teaching, their heads immediately find the sand.

Why is this? Is it fear? Is it CAIR PR money being put to extremely effective use, or has islam infiltrated the left in ways we aren't generally aware of.

Does Affleck go on TV and rant about "racism" against muslims because he believes he sees the writing on the wall, and wants to establish himself as a defender of the faith?

Why is this? Is it fear?

i think it's fear + being part of the group they identify as being superior intellectually

the problem is the weave of progressivism has gotten so complex in our abundant society that core tenets are under attack

that's why feminists have to be mindful of attacking the marginalized group du jour (muslims) and transgenders are allowed to criticize the frick out of gays (b/c gays have reached a point of being more mainstream and dominant than the marginalized trans folks). they all ignore the problems of black groups/culture (because in america this is the #1 marginalized group and that will never change), so the misogyny and extreme homophobia of this group is always ignored (also why if you ever see a list of triggering words/microaggressions, you will pretty much never see the n-word. they're so scared to even write that word among a grouping of derogatory and triggering words)

And yet, they consistently vote for MORE GOVERNMENT

more government and want indictments/prosecutions of criminal behavior pushed without evidence

the ones i know made it known to me that they were roman catholic and not orthodox

an orthodox church just moved down the road from me. i'm curious who attends

this situation was gloriously mismanaged by European governments, almost to the point that one would think they wanted something like this to happen.

white guilt is a helluva drug

xenophobia has meaning while racism has been stretched and contorted so much that is has no meaning anymore

Still does not mean racism in its true form is not alive and well

Racial preference, and distrust of those not in one's own group, will continue until humanity becomes ethnically homogenous from long term globalization.
