What would the founding fathers do?

With millions of Syrians — about half of them children — trying to escape the radicals in their own country, America’s radicals have a nifty way to teach ’em the true meaning of American Exceptionalism: You are not welcome in America, except for if you love Jesus.

Bush has said we should accept “every Christian Iraqi and every Christian Syrian” whose lives are threatened by “Islamic terrorism.”

But how can we tell which refugees are the good Christian kind, and which are the evil faking secret ISIS wanna-destroy-America-with-their-radical-Islam kind?

JEB Bush explains: "Well, we do that all the time. It takes almost a year for a refugee to be processed into the United States."

So we are capable of screening refugees to ensure that Jesus is just all right with them, but gosh dang it to heck if we can screen for the non-terrorist Muslim refugees.

And of course none of them would ever pretend to be Christian to sneak into America, although you know how those crafty Muslims are.

Canadian Cruz, who has unapologetically declared that only devout Christians are “fit to be commander-in-chief of this country,” also doesn’t want any dirty refugees stink-bombing his adopted country.

Except for the Christian kind, because everyone knows all Christians are harmless, by virtue of being Christians:

“There is no meaningful risk of Christians committing acts of terror. If there were a group of radical Christians pledging to murder anyone who had a different religious view than they, we would have a different national security situation,” Cruz told reporters.


​

We’d like to invite the senator to spend a minute or two on the Google to read up on radical Christian Americans who have murdered doctors in the name of their religious beliefs.

If he’s got another minute to spare, he could review that from July of this year that found white rightwing terrorists have been far deadlier than jihadists since 9/11.

And if he happens to experience a flight delay while he’s campaign-jetting around America, speaking about the horrible “persecution” of Christians bakers and florists who hate gaysexuals, he might want to check out the history of Christian terrorism and violence around the world.

I do not believe for a second, however, that any of the Republicans who are now demanding America close its borders to refugees — except maybe the Good Christian Kind, but fuck those other ones — will bother to do any reading at all.

Not about the difference between ISIS and Al Qaeda, or Iraq and Afghanistan, or terrorists and Muslims, or, god forbid, the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
