"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas."

@Budwick How do you separate the wheat from the chaff?

@sunsporter1649 Exactly!
You know, I thought of editing my comment - it's not clear where I'm coming down on the topic.
To clarify - not letting folks in from the Bahamas without proper ID, vetting etc is perfectly fine IMO.
Thoughts and prayers no problem.

@Budwick I knew what you meant, you are usually quite clear in your posts

@sunsporter1649 I sincerely hope you are treated in kind when you're in need of help.

@Graylight I know I, for one, will not be looking to Bahamas for assistance.

@Budwick Remember all those nations that provided assistance to the victims of Hurricane Andrew?

@sunsporter1649 I'm beginning to think you're just a poor human.

@Graylight Oh really? So now, in your opinion, the United States is the protector of the entire world, which is why you strongly support our involvement in the Middle East, right?

@sunsporter1649 only you seem to play the game of comparing apples to hex bolts two livestock. Just throwing topics into the wind doesn't give them any kind of organization.

@Graylight Well where do you draw the line, then?

@sunsporter1649 "The quality of mercy is not strained."

@Graylight Glad to hear you support our troops in the middle east

@sunsporter1649 Are you in a special program of some kind? You probably should be.

And why would I not support the men and women of the US military? Again, you assume much.

@Graylight And what is the mission of our troops in the middle east?

@sunsporter1649 To maintain peace in a strife ridden area we have helped create. We're effectively just sitting on the lid of our own Pandora's Box.

@Graylight Yup, sure did create it, when barry big ears pulled our troops out, and let the raghead terrorists back in.

@sunsporter1649 Decades before that, idjit.

@Graylight Like when that idjit jimmy carter let the ragheads take over an American Embassy and let them get away with it?

@sunsporter1649 No, but good mischaracterization effort.

@Graylight You mean the peanut farmer was tough defending American interests?

@sunsporter1649 Again, irrelevant to the conversation.
