The “stand against violence, fear and hate” type groups that rallied recently in Depot Park, and all across Montana and America, are a coalition of a large number of paid lobbying groups such as the ACLU, Montana Human Rights Network, Love Lives Here, NARAL (pro-choice), Planned Parenthood, SEIU, CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), Move-On.org (George Soros group) and even joining in are Presbyterian and Unitarian Universalist churches (to name just a “few” of the non-profits behind this).

They are saying if you don’t embrace bringing in refugees to our communities — you are a hater and racist.

There may be some legitimate folks who have joined this movement to bring in refugee resettlement and actually are convinced they are doing it out of “love and justice.” It’s easy to buy love and justice with the help and aid of our tax dollars and our current president and his strong desire for refugees and open American borders in your arsenal.

Since 1975, the U.S. has taken more than twice as many refugees as all countries from the rest of the industrialized world “combined.” Most refugees currently are from devout Muslim nations. The most violent attacks against America and its citizens, in the past 30 years or more, are from citizens of countries of Islamic culture and faith. It’s a no-brainer that one can reasonably expect “opposition” with our borders unsecured and millions of illegals receiving as good if not better aid in health care, food stamps, education, jobs, etc., than many of our own taxpaying citizens.

On top of all this refugee and illegal migration, we mustn’t forget that we also have one of the most generous (too generous) legal immigration policies of any nation on the face of the earth. One million a year are allowed to legally immigrate to America. Sustainable? Of course not. No nation can survive, intact, with these kinds of immigration/migration numbers. It takes time and resources and a will on behalf of a refugee to want to assimilate into our culture and often they do not.

Vetting is almost impossible as there are no records of their backgrounds as we have on our citizenry here in America. Many will not swear allegiance to the American flag or recognize our U.S. Constitution and are trying hard to implement their own sharia law!

Many of the European nations that opened their doors freely to refugee resettlement and embraced multiculturalism are rapidly abandoning this practice, and for some it is disastrously too late. Germany, Holland, Sweden, France, England, Hungary, etc., are becoming overwhelmed and outraged at their leaders who caved into the pressures of “bleeding heart rhetoric” and media attacks calling them (there we go again) haters and racists if they don’t open up their borders.

 So, you get hundreds of people brought out by front groups as mentioned above, here in America and in Europe, giving speeches and holding RACIST and HATERS signs against any citizen opposed to refugee resettlement. Follow the money, folks. What is really happening here? My limited research showed many of these groups receive lots of money via our tax dollars and many of these groups are very tied to Democratic Party donors.

Are we trying to bring in future voters for a particular party that will be swayed and influenced by certain generosities at the cost of our sovereign nation? Are we being taken over from within? Yes, Obama said he would fundamentally change America — and he is succeeding. To watch America decline under the weight of political correctness and promoters of big government is overwhelming. Without my hope and trust in my Lord God, I would be crying an awful lot.
