The latest leftist trope is that the public reaction to them at the time was the same as it is for the “harmless” Syrian refugees now. The only problem with that is that (unexpectedly!) the comparison doesn’t hold up.

Yeah, Jim was spewing that nonsense in another thread.
Of course these traitors know this.
There was no international conspiracy of German Jews in the 1930s attempting to carry out daily attacks on civilians on several continents.
Actually there was an international conspiracy of German Jews that sought the violent overthrow of governments on several continents. And yes, one of the reasons given for not accepting the likes of Anne Frank in the 1930s was that they might be Communist agents. Chris Christie is afraid of letting in Syrian toddlers; the wife of FDR’s immigration commissioner testified against letting in Jewish children, saying that “20,000 charming children would all too soon grow into 20,000 ugly adults.”
Efforts to stoke fears of a dangerous “other” are a recurring feature of American history. We look back on every past example (Chinese exclusion, discrimination against the Irish and Italian, anti-Mormon riots, anti-German riots, Japanese internment, Jewish refugees, etc.) with shame, but each time we face the question anew we’re told that this time it’s different.
So Jim,
Why won’t you allow the Christians of the middle east into the US first? They’re the ones who are being decimated by muslim extremists. And, they have no where to go. Unlike the Syrians, they can’t go to Jordan or Saudia Arabia.
If you really cared about refugees, you would have been shouting for the past year about the horrible atrocities committed by ISIS on the Christians. You know, crucifixion, slavery, rapes, etc.
What did I hear from you?
Nothing.
You are a liar.
Rather disgusting how Democrats, like Whoopi Goldberg, are saying the Christians are just as bad as ISIS. Democrats have inverted the hierarchy of persecution. Christians and other religious minorities have been persecuted by the Muslim refugees throughout this whole ordeal.
I feel sorry for the Muslim victims of ISIS but I feel sorrier for groups persecuted by both ISIS and Muslims.
But Jim doesn’t care. The Muslim refugees hate Christians, Jews, and the USA so they will make great Democrats.
Obama can’t even bring himself to apologize for his policies being one of the main causes of this crisis yet he, and the Democrats, want to lecture everyone else.
Ah Jim’s giving into the full Progressive tendency of anti-Semitism. You are right Jim, there was opposition to having Jews come into the US because of unwarranted fears. Less history forget, FDR only entered WWII because of Pearl Harbor, not because of Germany killing anyone in Europe, and certainly not to stop the slaughter of Jews. His party and his wife weren’t interested in fighting wars. As for the Communist bit, why worry about Anne Frank, when FDR already had a Communist as VP?
Jim said,
Actually there was an international conspiracy of German Jews that sought the violent overthrow of governments on several continents.
Jim, could you please supply a cite for this claimed international conspiracy of German Jews? From a non-NAZI source, please.
Nazi sources are impeccable to people like Jim since (until he broke the Ribbentrop pact and turned on Stalin) Hitler was a well-accepted leftist.
Agreed, Rand. My family is from the UK, and some are old enough to remember the pre-war popularity of Nazis with the lefty types.
It’s hardly surprising, really, when one considers that the National Socialist party had the second word in its name for a reason. Hitler and the Nazis were socialists.
“We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions.” –Adolf Hitler, Quoted in John Toland, “Adolf Hitler”, p224.”
It’s certainly no coincidence that the SWJ types use this selfsame screed.
It’s funny. If this doesn’t embarrass Jim, nothing will. I predict it won’t.
“It’s funny. If this doesn’t embarrass Jim, nothing will. I predict it won’t.”
Nothing can embarrass the Faithful.
By the way, I figured that the Syrian refugee/Jewish refugee equivalence was “the latest leftist trope” when Baghdad Jim started pushing it here. BJ may not be useful when you’re looking for rational discourse, but he is useful as a bellwether for what5evger the Hive’s latest party line is..
“Actually there was an international conspiracy of German Jews that sought the violent overthrow of governments on several continents.”
So if a leftist quotes anti-Semitic drivel used by leftist anti-Semites (hint: the National Socialists), does that mean he is an anti-Semite?
ISIS wants to spread Islam throughout the world. They want to cause mass migrations to achieve this and they openly tell us this and that they are inserting covert operatives in the mix.
Why do we have to participate in their plan? Why do we have to help ISIS get what they want? Obama is so set on course that he can’t make changes to actually thwart ISIS stated plans.
It is possible to show our compassion without doing what ISIS wants. No one is saying do nothing. Just because people have different ideas than Obama on how best to help the refugees and fight ISIS, doesn’t mean they are racist and hate the refugees.
But the Obama administration and the Democrat party are literally apologizing and defending ISIS.
You can make a much stronger case that anti-Islamic prejudices today are close to traditional anti-Catholic prejudices than to traditional anti-Jewish prejudices. For example, see A Budget of Paradoxes. Look for the phrase “THIS LEADS TO THE CHURCH QUESTION.”
I don’t grasp how anyone can even consider letting one “refugee” in, much less hundreds of thousands.
Consider a bowl of candy. 1% of the pieces of candy it contains are contaminated with a lethal poison, which will kill the one eating it. Knowing this, how many pieces of candy will you eat from the bowl? If the answer is any number greater than zero, you need to get your head examined. Our enemies have already told us that terrorists are among the “refugees,” and in Paris they proved this to be truthful. How many American lives are you willing to sacrifice on the altar of political correctness? If the answer is any number greater than zero, the word for this is “treason.”
We owe these “refugees” absolutely nothing, though I would not object to giving all of them, free of charge, a one-way trip back to Syria via leaky Liberty Ship. They are not our people. They are not us. They are not party to our social contract. This is our country. They have their own. What they’ve done with it is neither our fault nor our problem.
In other words, it’s time to ban births. After all, a percentage of the babies born today will become human toxic waste.
“On the other hand, by the mere law of averages (I am saying nothing against free will) it is almost certain that at least two or three of you before you die will have become something very like scoundrels.”—C. S. Lewish (while giving a lecture to young people)
So just suck it up and accept that we will be targets of jihad in our own country?
Why not? The left says there are more homicides than terrorist attacks, so that makes it okay. In fact, Jim made that argument, too.
It is a bit like the defense of F&F victims that they would have died anyway so it didn’t matter that Obama was running guns to the cartels.
The gun controllers are taking notes.
There are more options than what Democrats are allowing us to choose from. There are a host of options between either letting in 4 million Syrians and forcing citizenship on them and doing nothing that will allow us to show our compassion and make up for the disastrous outcomes of Obama’s policies.
It would be helpful if Democrats even acknowledged the role they, and Obama has played in this, stopped being dickholes, and worked with other people to solve a problem rather than just make dictates and using harsher language to describe Americans than they do ISIS.
Obama is consistently wrong, habitually makes bad decisions, never listens to those Americans he views as his real enemies, and is terrible at running government organizations both from a corruption and incompetence standpoints.
I suggest a little humility here would go a long way for Obama but that is only if he is truly interested in bringing people together. We don’t really need to be talked down to and lectured from Obama, when he doesn’t even accept the responsibility he has for causing this crisis.
A striking fact about both the Right and the Left is the tendency to pretend libertarians don’t exist.
“If you’re sick of one version, we push you into the other. We get you coming and going. We’ve closed the doors. We’ve fixed the coin. Heads—collectivism, and tails—collectivism.”—Ellsworth Toohey in “The Fountainhead” by Ayn Rand
BTW, do you want to ban births?

Everyone dies eventually so why does it matter if we let in refugees or not? This is pretty much the defense Obama uses for not stopping ISIS. It is used as an excuse for both action and inaction and while it is employed frequently, it is employed inconsistently. Its another example of Democrat double standards.
“Consider a bowl of candy. 1% of the pieces of candy it contains are contaminated with a lethal poison, which will kill the one eating it. Knowing this, how many pieces of candy will you eat from the bowl? If the answer is any number greater than zero, you need to get your head examined.”
Thing is, people like Obama and Kerry and Reid and Pelosi won’t have to eat from the candy bowl because they live in their own gated candy bowl. Just like they don’t have to suffer the pain of Obamacide, or the influx of illegals on welfare.
They are somewhat insulated from their own folly.
“Consider a bowl of candy. 1% of the pieces of candy it contains are contaminated with a lethal poison, which will kill the one eating it. Knowing this, how many pieces of candy will you eat from the bowl?”
And the leftist tools that have swallowed the Obama, Kerry, Reid, Pelosi line *think* they won’t pick the pellet with the poison…they always think the “brew is true”
I feel we have an obligation to help because Obama helped cause this and if one wants to say Bush did too I am OK with that. But we should be allowed to choose how we help them. There are more options available than demanding they become US citizens.
It seems that while “most” of the 11/13 attackers were French, they were using fake Syrian passports to move with refugees to hide their movements. Just more evidence that the whole “most were French” canard misses the point.
How many German Jews in 1930’s were using fake passports?
