Syrian refugees could easily pretend to be Christians. Republicans do it all the time.
The salty liberal throwing out truth on a right wing safe space. No fear!

Then let them eat bacon.

Started watching House of Cards on Netflix. It's no wonder they don't get anything accomplished in D.C.
KaiserSkald
This site is not right wing in the slightest. It is center-left with a libertarian bent at best.

Or we could fix America before we let a whole buncha Muslims in who think gays are bad, and women shouldn't have rights
TestPattern
I think the people who say Imgur is left-wing have never been to usersub, and never wondered why pro-hillary posts never made it out.
Stratacaster79
No because they're foreign, other than white Christians, so they're second class to American Christians.
mynamesbryson
As of September, the U.S. has admitted 10,801 Syrian refugees and exactly 56 of them were Christian. Troll harder.
scuber
Many of them are Christians. This is a bad post and you should feel bad.
Zokathra
None of them are Christians if ISIS or "moderate" militant muslims have their way.
aworkoffiction
Anyone can pretend to be Christian. Christians do it all the time.
jadespider
I don't care what religion they are, so as their ID and background check aren't pretend.
drGrafenberg
They rarely have original ID and often a story that came with the $10k human smuggler's pack. Sad to say.
reyfufurulesall
That makes you racist somehow I'm sure

"What? You mean you want to know if this person has any kind of criminal record? You're such a piece of shit you fucking misogynistic shit!"
CaptainShutTheFuckUp
Where's the bar for criminal record out of interest? Stole a bike - stay in the war zone?
ilovemynewcar
Rape and murder is probably what people should be held accountable for. Although the EU seems to have different ideas...
CaptainShutTheFuckUp
Meh - immigrants are held to the same account as any citizen. Can't see a problem.

There's no reason to import Syrian refugees here. Keep them over there near by but out of harms way. When the fighting is over, they go home
MisterTrashPanda
Pot calling the kettle black or painting with a broad brush? Both apt statements for this shitpost.
NOINOON
Did the joke hit too close to home?
Xathraphor
Didn't have to. Generalized statements like this are driving the parties further apart. Both sides need to accept one another as decent.
NOINOON
You took an obvious joke seriously. Don't try to bullshit your way around it.
Fyros
Even when they aren't? Sounds insane.
Xathraphor
Yes, the Republican party may include some pretty awful people, but it is folly to judge any large, diverse group by it's worst members.
Fyros
What was it the republicans said about Muslim extremists? If you aren't denouncing them you are just as bad?
yakatya
The Christian conservative in me wants to be offended but the dark humored cynical bitch in me is laughing hysterically. +1
juniorjim
Hell, Christians do it all the time
rouverius
Pretending to be a Christian in a Jordanian refugee camp full of Sunni Muslims, you're gonna have a bad time.
shreddedking
here's your straw man you asked for...
bonerific
But they can live side by side with us right? Right?
GapingAnalCavity
Smarter to go the other way since Christians tend to get dumped over the side of the boats by the other passengers when going to Italy
fartharder
Well, that explains their ridiculous demands for even stricter vetting.
Cuntard
They're having so much success just pretending to be refugees though. Why change it now?
kittykat
Are you serious?
josithefox
Pretty sure since 75+ % of US still claims to believe in God this would also apply to Democrats very easily...
WallyWorldtoo
The difference is many, many more Dem , lib. , actually practice a Christian beliefs. You are missing the hypocrisy point of this meme.
josithefox
I would argue that no substantial studies have been done (or could really be done) on which party has more "actual" Christians.
WallyWorldtoo
I use the gay marriage as a base line. And I can't argue anymore with a stance of "or could really be done" as you would reject any argument
josithefox
Well as only God can really judge who has real faith, any study done would simply be looking at works, which doesn't define the faith.
PhiIIipJFry
In Australia our census has about 75% of people following some kind of religion. But in practice 90% of the people you meet would say 1/2
PhiIIipJFry
say they're not at all religious. People just put down catholic or whatever on the census because their parents were. Is it the same? 2/2
josithefox
But a lot are also "I think there is a God, I guess" Where it isn't really a religious thing that changes their lives
josithefox

josithefox
About 75% at least go to church at Christmas or easter, say a prayer at Thanksgiving, or they actually practice a religion.
PhiIIipJFry
Wow that's significantly different than here

All Christian Arabs and Persian already live Central NJ and LA.

birencall
I can't help but feel you're generalizing all Reps as the Trump caricature. I know many Christian Reps who are thoughtful kind generous etc
NOINOON
Reeeeeaallly?
flamingflamingo
The image didn't say "all republicans", but it is calling attentions to the ones that do.
Rifneno
If the majority of them weren't the Trump caricature, then Trump wouldn't be where he is.
v3rmilion
Not that being kind generous or caring makes you any more Christian of course
Nyther53
Im thinking specifically of Paul Ryan's comment that his propsed budget plan was inspired by christianity, to which the man's own bishop
Nyther53
replied that it devalued about the religion the church tried to teach him. Mostly things about feed the hungry and clothe the naked.
BreadyStinellis
Actually his bishop in Madison backed him up, saying not all catholics must agree on ways to help people. other bishops think Ryan's a cunt

The worst and most common folly is to judge a massive, diverse group by it's worst members.
heynongman4pres
Yeah but Republicans voted and thus welcomed their offensive candidate it's fine to hold them to that.

Xathraphor
But must they all be therefore evil, irrational, and hateful? Think for a second before you create a greater division in this country.
heynongman4pres
Why don't you think before holding yourself out as a liberal? I consider myself a moderate and I can see the extremism in the GOP easily.
DoesItDo
Just like in most groups, with some total assholes, there are some who actually just mean well.
ArdentLeaper
"...right wing safe space,". HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA. WOW! What site are you on? Imgur would have Bernie's babies if it could.
WithPride
After the 60th post of "the best one got away", all of the anti-religion, 90% of the politics being pro-liberal posts, etc. It's obvious.
Rifneno
IKR? I'm a liberal and even I'm sick of hearing about that old bastard.
zpools
Lol! Nail on the head there. Clearly not a right leaning crowd in this abyss....
flippywizgig
During the latter part of the election anti Hillary posts outnumbered anti-trump about 5 to 1.
dylanIIII
Your argument doesn't correlate to the topic sir/ma'am. The only thing this proves is that Hillary is more unlikeable, even to bern peeps
RealScienceMan
That's because the democratic party alienated all the pro-Bernie people, not because they love Trump.
AccountCreatedToUpdogVotes
...you're calling Imgur right-wing?
TestPattern
Post something anti-Trump in usersub. See what happens.
psyopper
Can confirm, it's not about politics, it is specifically bashing people who express negative views on Trump.
trollprozac
I've been downvoted to hell by posting a pro-trump joke many times. Usersub is a fickle place.
Voidkom
Post something Pro-Trump. See how many more downvotes you get.
trollprozac
Exactly. I did the same thing, pro-bernie got up votes, pro-trump downvoted.

I think that's more anti-politics than pro-trump

trollprozac
That's not pro-trump, it's just funny.
RealScienceMan
I don't think that post is pro-Trump at all, it's just a funny joke. There's literally no lean in that post at all.
TestPattern
Usersub fucking hates liberals. I didn't see a single pro-Democrat post hit the front page the entire election.
trollprozac
They're certainly not pro-trump.
Zreen
There were plenty, just not pro-Clinton.
TestPattern
Isn't it weird that hundreds of pro-Trump posts made it to the front page, but zero pro-Clinton?
