Native Americans were the less advanced civilization, that is why they were all but wiped out. That is not the case with Syrian refugees.
When Obama says we should fear terrorists he is a fear monger. When he says we should see the refugees as fellow human beings he is a fool.
The problem begins with our attempt to overthrow Assad. We are waging war in the Middle East in with some vague notion that it is in our national interest. Economists are predicting a Chinese superpower, geologists are predicting peak oil, sociologists are predicting an exploding population disparity with low birth rates in the west and high birth rates in developing nations. Politicians and military leaders gobble this shit up like it's some brilliant scientific prediction when in fact we can't accurately predict the weather a few weeks in advance, but somehow we can predict the future with several orders of magnitude more variables.
The ends should not justify the means for this very reason. We have become the villains. And we have done it because we fear the future.
Meanwhile birthrates in developed countries have collapsed rather than exploded into overpopulation like the scientists predicted. Oil prices have collapsed in the face of new extraction methods, while electric cars are here and ready to stop an oil shortage emergency. China has yet to demonstrate it's ability to transition to a consumer economy, they don't produce new products and businesses, and their extraordinary growth is fueled by low wages and poor environmental and safety conditions which can not be sustained as they grow.
Refugees are not our problem. They are demonized by the media. You should know better then to trust what you hear on tv. Our problem is our leaders think war is in our national interest. We will never be safe as long as those kinds of people are in power.

First off. These idiots thought it was india. Second, history shows that yes, per capa the genocide of the native americans was worse than the faked holocaust of 1942.
You dont have to be a liberal to understand that america is founded on this idea of freedom of religion but you think this is a white christian nation. Wrong, dead fucking wrong.

Just playing advocate here: Given the Government runs the VA; which is fucked up. The Health Care; which is FUBAR, IRS which is a disaster, You see the trend here. We uproot these people, bring them to America and what? Fuck their already ruined lives up more?
Also, what kind of message does this send to all the Mexican Immigrants who are persecuted as illegal aliens? Or those from China, Russia, Vietnam and Cambodia who moved here, went through the proper channels to become citizens. Were their countries any better or worse?

"Refugees Welcome" worked out so well for the Native Americans.

Thousands of tribes verses.... the original settler of around a hundred men.
Even with muskets the Pilgrims weren't anywhere near a situation where they could make ultimatums

No, they did have a choice. They just made the wrong one. Pray that we don't follow their path.

I really don't think this is the case. I think the stigma comes from later in American history, when we really did fuck the native population over, some on accident, some on purpose. Some liberals just don't want to believe some Christopher Columbus bullshit they were taught in public school, only to find out later that it was all lies.
I love Voat, but this "I'm right wing, I know fucking everything," only serves to make you sound as ignorant as the leftists you hate so damn much.
How about being moderate in some views? Sure, some people believe that the Native Americans were treated really, really badly by the white man. And you know what? They're pretty much right. This fucking neo-nazi, white power shit on this site is just as bad as the fucking SJW multiculturalist, white-guilt shit. Give it a fucking rest and do some fucking research.
