Inslee wrong on refugees

While listening to the radio on my way home today, I heard something that made me shake my head and wonder. Does our governor even have a clue about how to lead?

I told my wife when he was elected, I said “Honey, this man will soon realize that there’s a big difference between being a legislator versus being a governor.” Legislatures legislate and governors lead.

The news commentator quoted Gov. Inslee as saying that he would welcome, with open arms, Syrian refugees. Governor, do you realize that our government has no way whatsoever to differentiate terrorist from refugee? Maybe you do and you’re just keeping that to yourself.

Governor, unless you’re prepared to possibly live with my blood on your hands because of a terrorist attack in Washington, I ask you to seriously rethink your stance on this very real threat and change your position; at least until we have a system in place to tell friend from foe.
