Syrian Refugee Resettlement in the US

[lavendertook]

I'm proud the US has a president who is encouraging compassion and taking in Syrian refugees. The governor of my little blue state is not doing Maryland proud.

Here's a petition from moveon.org for stating your support for Syrian Resettlement:

My favorite comment on the subject is by Oliver Willis, as reblogged by supergee:

“If only we had a seasonally appropriate story about Middle Eastern people seeking refuge being turned away by the heartless.”

Yup.

The third paragraph has some weird segways there. *cue image of Jesus zipping by on a segway* Maybe it's the translation.

It's not the translation. That's Paul's preaching style. You have to remember that, although from a Christian perspective he's the most important human preacher in history, from a historical perspective he's a hokey evangelist working the equivalent of house churches and local cable tv.

Gotcha. Early tweeting. Getting his headlines in there.
