Unfortunately, some right-wing figures are letting fear get the better of them (or using fear to manipulate others).Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-84028286221117135172015-11-29T18:01:13.050-05:002015-11-29T18:01:13.050-05:00Agi Tater -- Their xenophobia is both irrational a...Agi Tater -- Their xenophobia is both irrational and hateful.

I'm hoping that rational people get the upper hand and allow refugees to continue seeking refuge here.Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-71797665464396582662015-11-27T22:21:53.461-05:002015-11-27T22:21:53.461-05:00The terrorists have won.

What makes me sick is when FB peeps start going off on tangents and urging others to call their state reps and vote against it. <br />I do understand the fear that comes with allowing large masses to come into our country. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't apprehensive, BUT, if the roles were reversed and my family needed a safe place, I'd want other countries to open their doors to us.
