I live and work just outside of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Our Democrat Mayor and Democrat Governor still think it is a good idea to welcome Syrian refugees with open arms. If anything happens and I stop posting I want you all to know how much I have enjoyed the Gulch. Not sure if I am allowed to bequeath my points to anyone??? Tell the world my story.

    So would the rest of us.

    Best answers so far are in Cartoon Saturday just posted.

    Of the 2003 from Syria in five years 2.6% are non islamics. Druze, Yevzedi, Christians, Jews, Bahai's. something like 55 people. Guess who are the prime targets of ISIS?

    I keep thinking they are using facial recognition software to try and locate known terrorists but beyond that I'm not sure what more can be done.

    I thought about putting on my sign "buy them before we're dead". A customer gave me a "Who is John Galt" hoodie. I want to wear that and my AS sweatshirt as much as possible. I want to tell people AS book and movies make a great Christmas gift.

    Oh, come on. A worldwide caliphate is nothing to lose your head over.
    Or blow you up.
    Or kill your kids in front of you.
    Or hang you up to die on a cross.
    Or enslave your little girls for sex.
    Or put you in a cage to--
    1. Burn you alive.
    2. Use a crane to dunk your cage into water.
    Or stone your wife for showing off her ankles.
    No, Obama says Islam is the religion of peace.
    Has Obama ever lied?
    Just convert in the name of Allah.
    Then you get to do all these things to someone else.
    It's how Muslims get to go to heaven.

    You could always become a refugee and emigrate. to Free North America...or at least keep that goal in mind.

    Fear not! Michael Moore is taking the Syrian refugees to live with him. In the meantime, you could move to Indiana where our governor has some common sense.

    quell dramatic! you are still alive and heart beating strong! ideas man-put them on every tree in your lot. start with this one: "Not an ocean of tears not all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. "
    I often tell Dale when he says to me-I do not own copper mines-I say we mine your mind. :)

    Agreed. I don't trust what politicos say. I'm guessing they are sucking up to the administration. and there is probably some Federal money (bribe) involved.

    Wow Rich, my prayers are with you guys. I was just in Butler for a funeral and it is a lovely area. I feel like our country and politicians are letting us down and that they really do not care about us citizens.

    Thanks OA. I'm being a little dramatic but I don't see how we can vet this many people. Hope it works out.

    A friend of mine wrote to the governor expressing her concerns. He claimed Governors are not allowed to refuse to accept refugees. He cited the Refugee Act of 1980. I might feel better if I knew what the vetting process was.

    You might want to avoid Colorado. Governor Looper-Looper has announced that he will allow them on humanitarian grounds. I am not sure at this point if they will be allowed to open carry their AK-47's

    Hello richrobinson,

    There have been refugee camps around the world

    My Governor was like yours but heard a din and now is one of the 33.

    Your story still has many chapters.

    Regards,
    O.A.

    I think they are supporting Obama and hoping to score points within the Democratic Party. Risk to us is irrelevant.

    “I would never make a decision that I felt would risk the public safety of the city of Pittsburgh.”

    Really!
    How about the safety of the PEOPLE who live in Pittsburgh?
    Now about the safety of the businesses and hard earned property of the Americans who live in PIttsburgh?

    It makes no sense. I wonder if a majority of people supporting this understand how restrictive Sharia Law is?

    I know. Heard this morning that somewhere around 85% of Muslims in the middle east believe that Sharia should be the law of the land and that a significant number of them see Israel and the U.S. as a greater threat to them than ISIS. Just doesn't make sense that they want to come to a country the dislike. Makes me ask who is driving this?

    I wonder why they would want to come here. They don't approve of our culture so there must be another way. I just don't get it???
