Kevin Drum of Mother Jones<\/a> advises the left that they should at least pretend to be concerned about the possibility that some of those refugees that Obama wants to inflict upon us are terrorists and that they should stop mocking Republicans so they don’t appear to be unserious about national security;<\/p>\n

Here’s the thing: to the average person, it seems perfectly reasonable to be suspicious of admitting Syrian refugees to the country. We know that ISIS would like to attack the US. We know that ISIS probably has the wherewithal to infiltrate a few of its people into the flood of refugees. And most voters have no idea how easy it is to get past US screening. They probably figure it’s pretty easy.<\/p>\n

So to them it doesn’t seem xenophobic or crazy to call for an end to accepting Syrian refugees. It seems like simple common sense. After all, things changed after Paris.<\/p>\n

Mocking Republicans over this\u2014as liberals spent much of yesterday doing on my Twitter stream\u2014seems absurdly out of touch to a lot of people. Not just wingnut tea partiers, either, but plenty of ordinary centrists too. It makes them wonder if Democrats seriously see no problem here. Do they care at all about national security? Are they really that detached from reality?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So the readers of Mother Jones begin mocking Drum and Republicans;<\/p>\n

Being scared of an Islamic suicide bomber in the US is not a reasonable concern.<\/p>\n

It’s bedwetting cowardice in the face of a threat not sigificantly more likely to occur than getting hit by a meteorite.

Finding a conservative with the ability to rationally discuss issues is the problem. Most of them are too ignorant to be able to express why they believe what they do. They just respond to trigger words and stimuli without any thinking… Dogs salivating at the sound of the bell.<\/p>\n

Hmmm . . . that sounds strangely familiar, much like the French aristocracy prior to the French Revolution, many of the “Tories” prior to the American Revolution, and exactly like the wealthy Confederates in the South prior to the Civil War. Things didn’t work out too well for those folks in the end, you and your conservative buddies might want to take note.<\/p>\n

\nthat’s why conservatives are so excited.

\nthat’s their goal too.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From there the discussion breaks into a diatribe about gun control and grammar. I’m pretty sure that these are the same types of people who blame Bush for 9-11=2001. They only worry about terrorism when it happens to them and they can’t see past the end of their noses. They’ll get serious about national security when Michael Moore tells them that it’s time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
