So, without editing and formatting (I gave him the opportunity to clean up the format to emphasize whatever he wanted, but he declined. I am attributing the block formatting here to the limitations of Facebook. He replied as a comment to my post. I assume if he had a better forum, the formatting would be a little easier on the eyes.)

Eric, I will take the opposite tact and
keep this simple. Would YOU (not America, not state X) take 10 Syrian
male refugees between 18-30 years of age into your home today, no
questions asked? Of course you wouldn't and here's why. You cannot
provide for them economically, and you dont have a $18B and growing
debt. Well you do, as do your kids but thats another topic. You dont
have jobs for them, because we dont even have jobs for the millions
of people out of work now. Again, we could delve into the dismal
labor force particpation rates, but that too is another is another
story. Most importantly, you have a wife and children to protect.
Perhaps you could give your kids a bowl of M&Ms that contained
10% which were poisonous and tell them it was ok to grab a handful
because "not all the M&Ms are posionous".. No you
wouldn't do that either. As a travelling nurse, perhaps you could
take the show on the road and go over to Syria and provide
"frontline" medical care. please take the wife and kids so
they can embarace the peaceful Muslim population over there and
experience the tolerance and diversity that that exudes their
culture. Make sure Sara is dressed approapriately so as not to offend
anyone. The vast cultural divide aside, the simple odds you cited
would indicate at least one of those men is a threat. To place your
family in danger would be reckless irresponsible and I submit to you
that you would not directly incur that risk, but by virtue of your
position, believe others should incur that risk for the sole purpose
of appearing charitable and compassionate in an attempt to break a
stereotype that some people have. The problem is that this approach
ignores common sense logic, and history. While your onion reference
to Iraq is amusing, it too ignores the fact. At the risk of veering
off topic, in simplest terms, the invasion of Iraq created a
battlefield that did not previously exist. We were fighting an enemy
with no country, no flag and no uniform. That war drew them Iraq
where they could be identifed and killed. Obama made the comment that
there was no Al Queda in Iraq before we went in. True statement, and
he unwittingly acknowledged the success of that strategy. I will tell
you in all honesty that I dont think there was ever an exit strategy,
and that the architects likely envisioned a Korea or Germany like
presence for decades to come. Politics as they are, we hastily left,
including our equipment, which ISIS now uses to march through the
region. That aspect aside, the reason for the current situation is
not global warming/climate change or jobs like some clowns running
for President want to believe. Those conditions have existed for
decades. This stems from the intentional toppling of stable
governments in the region, initiated, funded and directly supportes
by the current administration. Regimes that had been pro western or
at least not anti-western were toppled and ISIS filled the power
vacuum. Syria remains. Yet the US (WH anyways) actively seeks Asaad's
removal and actively supported a political campaign against the
incumbent President of Israel. Tell me Eric, what threat does Asaad
pose to the US that we need to topple his government? Is Iran not
more of a threat goven they have nuke technology and have sworn to
destroy Israel and the West? Or perhaps they are "joking"
as you feigned in another post? I believe, no I KNOW, that you are a
good man. I applaud your compassion and agree it is part of the human
experience. What I believe your fundamental flaw is in your approach
to this probelem is that you have ironically done exactly what Bush
did; you applied western thought, values and culture to a situation
that is utterly imcompatible with them. ISIS, ISIL, Daesh, Muslim
Brotherhood, whatver you want to call them, did not emerge from
ressent ment over Amercian anything. You cited death tolls, but left
out and important fact. Muslims kill the majority of Muslims, just
like black kill the majority of blacks. So if you want to cite
totals, be specific. Muslimns also kill far more Christians than the
opposite. The fact is that these people have been warring for
centuries without any help from us. You will not win a battle of idea
with these people because you fundamentally do not undertstand them.

dailykos and HUFFPO are mouth pieces, as is Fox and CNN and the like.
I have lived among these people for years, literally. They are VERY
honest when there is no camera present. Why would we want to bring
their balkanized violent, centuries long struggle here when they
themsleves havent been able to fix it and we certainly havent either.
So I never like citing problems without offering solutions, so here
is mine. Since we love coalitions and globalism and the UN, I submit
that we use NATO to establish "safe zones" within Syria. No
fly zones and tropps to defend these poor people and prevent them
from having to uproot themselves and their families from their
beloved and historic homeland. People like me will go over there and
do it. It is far cheaper, and the only Amercians that are in danger
are the people we pay to take risks and put their lives at risk, the
military. My plan ensures that not a single terrorist enters the
country posing as a refugee. Your plan ensures the opposite, as has
been demonstrated in Europe. My plan gets everyone involved (UN) so
Muslims can see that the world loves and accepts them and are all
willing to help them. Tell me Eric, why wont wealthy Muslim majority
countries in the region take them in??? I would LOVE for you to
answer that one my friend. Incidentally, one refugee in Louisianna
disappeared and was found in D.C., their first declared target, and 5
more were captured in Honduras with fake Greek passports attempting
to enter the US. I'm floored that you think we need a sliding scale
of us death tolls to engage in military action. 200, we dont go in..?
So you require a 9-11 type death toll to fight back? Perhaps we
should just open the borders up to anyone and everyone from wherever,
who claims to be a refugee and was somehow wronged by us or another
"imperial entity" at any time in the past. Pu them all on
welfare, create sharia courts fo them and allow shariah law to trump
our laws where they hold majorities.. Gays will have to relocate of
course, but surely they will view our "tolerance" and
willingness to accomodate them in a positive light and limit rapes
onlly their women and children and not ours. Do me a favor and google
"Islamic thighing". Google "increasing rapes by
Muslims in Sweden". In the end, people who support bringing
these people here fele there is endless amounts of money, that we can
just "take from rich people" and that welcoming them will
somehow absolve us of past "offenses", despite the fact
that we have shed blood and spent treasure to help Muslims. The ONLY
thing these people understand or respect is the violnce that has been
ingrained in their culture for centuries. It's far better to meet
violence with violence somwhere other than the street of America. The
liberals are of the opinion that if its good enough for Beirut its
good enough for Nashville, and that is how to tell who really loves
this country and who hates it to the point that they want to
"fundamentally" change it to mirror the failure of Europe
and commit national suicide. No thanks. But we'll just go with your
plan instead and wait till a few shopping malls, staduims and
Starbucks are in flames before we do anything other than open our
arms and bury our heads in the sand in blind adherence to lef twing
ideology.
