Jeb! thinks that the United States should focus its Middle Eastern refugee aid on Christians.<\/p>\n

'Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush says that any U.S. assistance to Middle Eastern refugees should focus primarily on Christians fleeing persecution. "We should focus our efforts as it relates to refugees on the Christians that are being slaughtered," he told CNN's "State of the Union" in an interview on Sunday morning.'<\/i><\/p>\n

It's not clear if Jeb!'s position is because it's better to help Christians, or less dangerous to help Christians. But if we're talking Christian charity here, Jeb! might want to check out Luke 10:25-37 (https:\/\/goo.gl\/GBGuGR<\/a>). He just might have heard that story before.<\/p>\n

At that, Jeb! is better than some other GOP hopefuls (including ostensible Loving Christians Huckabee and Carson) who basically say we shouldn't be assisting any<\/i> refugees, because then some of those Evil Terrorists might slip in.<\/p>\n

But I'm sure the Priest and the Levite were also, at least in part, concerned that the mugged man by the side of the road might be faking it. Not sure that excuse would fly with Jesus, either.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
