The best thing White Conservatives could do is go to a black church.
And reach out to black church delagates to visit otherwise white churches.
We've lost the Latinos they histocially are the bigest Liberal horse shit cool aid drinkers anyway. And the White Liberals are hell bent on not only destroying this country but bringing pandamonium anarchy to this country. We need to embrace the black folk then systematically expel the Liberals and any un American groups out of the country. Want to assimilate then good if not there's the door.
If the Liberals lost all of the Black ears, they would be toast. Limited to sexualy confused people voting for fringe politicians.
I like to yank the libbies' chains about the bogus Hispanic category. Many actually believe it describes a race and angrily deny that there are all white countries in Latin America. They also use Latino synonymously with Hispanic and have absolutely no understanding of the origins of these categories. The emotionality of their beliefs are inversely related to their knowledge.

This article is based on political calculus.
The liberal response to this should be far more measured. We should support tight screening. Never mind that screening is already pretty tight.
Liberals do think that the screening should be tight, as it is. They also think that the numbers should be limited, as they are. But, they also think that it is important to provide a haven for legitimate political refugees. Especially in this case, because our own actions have a lot to do with the non-livable conditions in their home country (in the case of Syrians and Iraqis).
Republicans are being called out, b/c they are overreacting as usual, and the republican politicians are using the fear to gain political points.

IOW, concern about importing ISIS terrorists with the refugees is not legitimate amoungt the libbies.
Me thinks what makes libby so smart is that they are double the pupil your average student is...
In general, we should act like this is a legitimate thing to be concerned about and then work from there.

IOW, its better the USA blows up than to be politically incorrect.
It validates all the worst stereotypes about liberals that we put political correctness ahead of national security. It doesn't matter if that's right or wrong.
Being politically correct might have been in the stopping of 9/11.
Wait! Bush/Rep/Con/Teas & their voters are politically stupid.
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.
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.
Mocking Republicans over this—as liberals spent much of yesterday doing on my Twitter stream—seems 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?
The liberal response to this should be far more measured. We should support tight screening. Never mind that screening is already pretty tight. We should highlight the fact that we're accepting a pretty modest number of refugees. In general, we should act like this is a legitimate thing to be concerned about and then work from there.
Mocking it is the worst thing we could do. It validates all the worst stereotypes about liberals that we put political correctness ahead of national security. It doesn't matter if that's right or wrong. Ordinary people see the refugees as a common sense thing to be concerned about. We shouldn't respond by essentially calling them idiots. That way lies electoral disaster.
