The Obama administration is considering resettling thousands of refugees who left Syria during the country's ongoing civil war to multiple towns and cities across the United States, the L.A. Times reports.

A resettlement plan under discussion in Washington and other capitals is aimed at relieving pressure on Middle Eastern countries straining to support 1.6 million refugees, as well as assisting hard-hit Syrian families.

The State Department is "ready to consider the idea," an official from the department said, if the administration receives a formal request from the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, which is the usual procedure.

The United States usually accepts about half the refugees that the U.N. agency proposes for resettlement. California has historically taken the largest share, but Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia are also popular destinations.

U.N. refugee officials, along with diplomats and non-governmental relief groups, are scheduled to meet in Geneva this week to discuss potential resettlement plans. Germany has already agreed to take 5,000 refugees.

I don't mean to sound jaded and pessimistic (although I'd have to admit that I am), and I certainly wouldn't want to dampen your, or anyone else's, enthusiasm, but I just don't see how any of us in the Country Class stop anything the Ruling Class wants to do.

I've been on the buses to DC twice. I have lost count of the number of local and regional TP events that I've helped organize and attend. I've written the letters and have made countless phone calls. And I've seen no discernible changes beyond the 2010 capture of the House (by what we thought were a fresh crop of TP candidates that were going to start to make changes). And yet, all we see on a daily basis is the continual growth and expansion of statism, without a viable institutional entity that is consistently fighting against it.

If they decide that they want to bring these refugees here, they will bring the refugees here. We can all gather again in DC and scream until we are blue in the face. We can flood the phone lines and fill the in boxes with emails and jam the fax machines. I just don't think that it will have any impact. And I seriously hope that I wrong, wrong, wrong, and that you are right, right, right. I'd love to be surprised and proven completely wrong.

I can offer this bit of hope:

They (the Ruling Class) will be stopped. That issue is not in question. They will never realize their "end game". (Whatever their end game is)

What IS open to question is WHO will stop them.

And WHEN it will happen.

OK, I'll bite here. What is this hope based upon?

(And I have absolutely zero clue as to the WHO or the WHEN.)

I used to think that it might happen in my lifetime, in fact I longed that it would come very soon, so that the generation of my grandchildren could possibly be part of the rebuilding. But I've lost faith that there are enough people still left alive (with the ability to think clearly and rationally) to ever be motivated enough to get the ball rolling. I see our society as a whole beginning the long walk to the cattle cars, we may be in slow motion at the present, but I see the pace quickening each day.

I hear you, FP !!

But, if we just sit back and accept everything that is being shoved down our necks then why even bother to complain !!

I couldn't sleep last night and it had everything to do with an unrest in me over things happening on the National level.

I have to believe that we still can make a difference not so much for ourselves but for our kids and grandkids.

We are the LAST GENERATION to know what the real America was like and how good it use to be.

When we die ....the America we knew and loved ...dies with us !!

We can't let that happen without a fight and I believe we still have a fight in us.

We get on these chat boards and depress the hell out of each other.

We need to take our energies and spirit and make it work and not roll over and play dead.

(I think Rufus is talking about are the whistle blowers and leakers.)

We can't give up !!
