Yellow should be the color of the Republican Party
It matches the stains on their underwear so well. Take their response to a faked Syrian passport found after the Paris attacks.Their fear was so palpable that one expects their yellow stains were outlined in brown. And now the reactionary extremist wing of the party wants to force Speaker Lyin' Ryan to defund any efforts to resettle refugees in America.
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan called Tuesday for the suspension of a program to accept Syrian refugees into the United States, and two influential senators announced a renewed push for a formal authorization of military force against the Islamic State as Congress moved to respond to the terrorist attacks in Paris.Do they write their talking points on yellow pads? Why would DAESH terrists go to all the trouble of hiding among Syrian refugees. If they want to come to America they just need to drive down to Saudi Arabia where their supporters will get them a Saudi passport and a ticket to NY. Republican national security ideas have always involved rank cowardice on their part.
For two years, Congress has been conflicted about supporting military action in Syria, preferring to mostly let the Obama administration fashion a strategy on its own, while Republicans have accused the White House of failing to come up with a coherent approach.
The developments on Tuesday suggested that the attacks in Paris had shifted the calculations on Capitol Hill, with potentially greater support for authorizing military force against the Islamic State. But there was also a fast-rising backlash, particularly among Republicans, against allowing Syrian refugees into the United States.
Led by Mr. Ryan, the Republicans said there were grave reasons to fear that terrorists would be permitted to enter the country posing as refugees.
“Our nation has always been welcoming,” Mr. Ryan said at a news conference. “But we cannot allow terrorists to take advantage of our compassion. This is a moment where it is better to be safe than to be sorry. So we think the prudent, the responsible thing is to take a pause in this particular aspect of this refugee program in order to verify that terrorists are not trying to infiltrate the refugee population.”
