The Repukes are really showing their colors, Nazi. Did anyone else catch what Jeb Bush response was when asked how they would know who is Christian? "Oh, we'll know who is Christian." The CONservatives will take this country down a dark road if they get in ANY power. So no matter what different opinions we have right now, we all must stick together and vote Democrat! If we don't, our country is lost.

A top Tennessee Republican lawmaker believes the time has come for the National Guard to round up any Syrian refugees who have recently settled in the state and to stop any additional Syrian refugees from entering Tennessee.
"We need to activate the Tennessee National Guard and stop them from coming in to the state by whatever means we can," said House GOP Caucus Chairman Glen Casada, R-Franklin, referencing refugees.
...
"I think that is one of the most extraordinarily misguided statements that I have heard made by a public official," Stewart, D-Nashville, said in reference to Casada's proposal.
"We need to approach this issue from a standpoint of strength and not fear, and we should have great confidence in our military forces and in our law enforcement agencies to keep our citizens safe. We dont need to go off half-cocked and start interfering in the defense policy of our country."
