As President Obama continues his push to wildly expand his plans to bring in hundreds of thousands of Syrian “refugees” into the U.S. despite what happened in Paris only a week ago, he is attacking anyone who opposes his dangerous policy.

In a November 16 press conference held in Antalya, Turkey, Obama viciously attacked those opposing his desire to flood the U.S. with Muslims any number of whom will be–not might be–ISIS supporters. During his conference Obama called opponents “shameful” and “not American” for standing against him.
“When I hear folks say that, ‘Maybe we should just admit the Christians but not the Muslims,’ when I hear political leaders suggesting that there would be a religious test for which person who’s fleeing from a war-torn country is admitted, when some of those folks themselves come from families who benefitted from protection when they were fleeing political persecution, that’s shameful,” Obama said.
“That’s not American,” Obama blurted out. “That’s not who we are. We don’t have religious tests to our compassion.”
