So apparently Sweden is admitting many times more Iraqi refugees than the US, even though our population is roughly 33 times the size of theirs. Meanwhile, Iraqi refugees (many of whom are refugees because they helped US forces) are living in poverty, often in disease-riddled conditions, and at constant risk of being tracked down by the enemies that drove them from Iraq in the first place.

If this is what compassionate conservatism looks like, God forbid we should ever experience the regular kind.
