What you are looking at is cultural enrichment. Average families fleeing the storm, seeking their first welfare check and a better life. Seeing it makes you want to embrace these poor women, children and elderly migrants looking for a better neighborhood, yours.
If the mean and nasty Poles and Hungarians resist, Canada can easily afford to take them. Ten, fifteen or twenty million, whatever, to fill the empty Canadian spaces and enrich the culture.
Surely, they should also have a 9th Circuit Right to cross the Canadian/US border and apply for American visas to enrich us, make us more diverse and reinvigorate the culture.
What decent Christian and European society would be so insensitive as not to give these fine young men of fighting age shelter and free stuff?
If your local community does not get in on this humane diverse cultural experience early, be patient. Surely there are a billion or two more not too far behind them.

A million here , a million there, no problem. We are all human beings, all six, to soon be, seven billion of us.

ReplyDelete'Be afraid. Be very afraid.'
How many times have we heard those words throughout our country's history?
Germans. Irish. Catholics. Chinese. Poles. Eastern Europeans. Jews. Arabs and Persians. Spanish. Muslims.
There is always an excuse. They take our jobs. They are not white enough. They dilute our culture. They are terrorists. They are the other.
The US has a long history of this bigotry. It's unlikely to change.
Blaming the other for what we have done to ourselves. In the EU, because of more than a century of war and a march to the PC totalitarianism of the left interrupted ever so often by periodic reversals to the totalitarianism of the right and culminating in the unworkable concept of open borders and an insane immigration problem. In the US, by the various 'revolutions' of the sixties and seventies which are the real factor in our changing culture combined with a slow decline in prospects and expectations among a large part of the population who see the post war prosperity here disappearing for the many as we get further away from a period of likely never to be repeated circumstances and events, technological and productivity advances that will be difficult if not impossible to duplicate, and social changes that have changed our culture in significant and irreversible ways. Add to that the government's normal reaction to a crisis, to consolidate power and restrict individual rights as a means of achieving any bureaucracies raison d'etre, to grow and gain control and power over the only thing that can slow their growth, the people.
But do we fight it, no the sheeple embrace it...
"Do what you have to do. Give up a few rights? No problem. Just keep us safe."
"Those 800 people murdered in Chicago last year? Not now. Tell us again about the $ Billions you are spending each year to protect us against the Boston Bombers and other lone wolves."
Do away with the judicial system? No problem. Sounds like a great idea.
Things are moving a little too slow in Congress? Heck, just change the constitution.
If people complain? Find a scapegoat. Blame it on the media. What was the term? Oh, yea, trust bust them.
We have met the enemy, and he is us.

I don't deny there is a problem in Europe. If you actually read what I've said you would know that. What I have been arguing against are the attempts to equate the European situation to that of the US against all evidence to the contrary.
Explain to us after you allow the first ten million to break and enter sovereign countries, on what basis are you going to deny the next ten million and the hundreds of millions after that.
That's Europe's problem not the US'. IMO, their open borders policies make it impossible to track the flood of immigrants that didn't just happen but was welcomed. You want to stop it. Simple change the policies
Now, if Trump wants to tighten up the vetting process good on him. However, when he says we are unable to vet these people, he is blowing it out his ass. We have been doing it for years.
You cite Germans. Irish. Catholics. Chinese. Poles. Eastern Europeans. Jews as if they came here as gang bangers.
Bullshit. That's the exact opposite of how I cite them. I cite them as examples of groups of people who were coming to this country to start a new life and escape wars and persecution in the countries of their birth only met bigoted rejection by a large population of nativists in this country.
And who the fuck is saying I am arguing for illegal immigrants. Please let me know where I have mistakenly said that. I'm talking about legal immigration whether you want to talk about it in those terms or not.

Delete...I do find it remarkable that Trump has already started campaigning...
Nothing surprises me. Campaigning is what got him here. If gives him a chance to throw out his next conspiracy theory. Rather than question anything he says the Trumpettes applaud it, in fact they eat it up. Well, with the exception of a few who still have the capacity to be embarrassed and who try to excuse it, rationalize it, explain what he 'really meant', or blame it on the press (or anyone else that's close).
The campaigning replaces having to do anything because when the results of what he actually 'does' becomes clear to a certain percentage of his base, when they see that what he has promised turns out to be all bubblegum and bullshit, that they have once again been suckered in by another populist carny barker, when they end up in the same hopeless situation they were in before electing him or worse, there will be a lot fewer Trumpettes.

ReplyDeletePopularizing the meme of Trump-as-fascist
By Thomas Lifson
There is an all-out campaign to plant the words "fascist" and "Trump" together in the public mind. Josef Goebbels and the advertising industry both know that if people hear or read a pair words together often enough, the brain starts associating them automatically. This is the theory behind The Big Lie and is also the theory behind advertising that puts the concepts of "Coke" and "refreshing" together so often.
Thus, we have David Brooks, of the New York Times and PBS, expounding on taxpayer-subsidized airways and invoking the f-word for our president. The entire 12-minute segment is embedded below for those who enjoy being condescended to, but the nut of his rant was excerpted by our friends at Breitbart:
[T]he attack on the press, highlighted by the tweets today saying, that my newspaper, NBC, all these organizations are enemies of the people. Well, if you want to draw rhetoric straight out of the fascist playbook, we're enemies of the vote, the people, that is like – that has so many historical echoes.
If Brooks wants to ring up echoes, he ought to consider the blue bubble echo chamber, where nobody for a moment considers Trump an acceptable president, and that goes for his followers, too. Within the assumptions already accepted as gospel, almost everything Trump could do would have fascist echoes. That's because the word "fascist" is constantly echoing in their minds. They think Trump obviously is fascist. To think otherwise would imply that they wrongly dismissed a legitimate political movement and missed a historic inflection point.
So if President Trump were to announce new interstate highways as part of his infrastructure program, how long would it take for Hitler's autobahns to be brought up?

I believe the word was idiot. When you have time, I'll explain to you how the social security system works.
Any money you get from the SSA is not paying back 'your' money. It's a gift from your government, son. They may have a political obligation to pay you but they sure as hell have no legal obligation. The money you paid has entered the rabbit hole and disappeared years ago and now exist in a worthless internal chit buried somewhere in the desk drawer of some bureaucrat in D.C. Any physical manifestation of its existence is likely in a cluster bomb being dropped in Yemen or in the fuel Trump wastes flying Air Force One down to Mar a Lago.

ReplyDeleteWow: Trump names Gen. H.R. McMaster new national security advisor
ReplyDeletePOSTED AT 4:01 PM ON FEBRUARY 20, 2017 BY ALLAHPUNDIT
Hats off to him on a strong and surprising pick. Every time you worry that he’s going to throw another Flynn at you, he turns around and gives you a Mattis or Gorsuch. McMaster’s in that class.
President Trump picked Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, a widely respected military strategist, as his new national security adviser on Monday, calling him “a man of tremendous talent and tremendous experience.”…
General McMaster is seen as one of the Army’s leading intellectuals, first making a name for himself with a searing critique of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for their performance during the Vietnam War and later criticizing the way President George W. Bush’s administration went to war in Iraq.
As a commander, he was credited with demonstrating how a different counterterrorism strategy could defeat insurgents in Iraq, providing the basis for the change in approach that Gen. David H. Petraeus adopted to shift momentum in a war that the United States was on the verge of losing.
McMaster’s known to the public primarily for two things. One, as noted by the Times, was the success of his counterinsurgency strategy in Tal Afar in Iraq at a moment when most of the rest of the military was flailing. McMaster’s insight at the time was that shows of might wouldn’t pacify the Iraqi population; respecting the local culture and establishing permanent bases in cities to reassure residents that Americans would be there around the clock to protect them were key....
....Which brings us to the second thing he’s known for, and what makes his appointment by Trump even more of a surprise. Petraeus favored scholars among his top advisors and McMaster was no exception, having earned a Ph.D in history with a dissertation about the management of the Vietnam War. That dissertation became the book “Dereliction of Duty,” noteworthy for the extent to which McMaster, a military officer, laid the blame for failure in Vietnam at the feet of the military leadership at the time, not the Washington bureaucrats who supposedly wouldn’t let the armed forces fight the war they needed to in order to win....
....Put that together with McMaster’s Tal Afar strategy and what you have is an officer who’s the opposite of a “yes man.” He’s a “no man,” someone who seems to enjoy questioning the bureaucracy’s conventional wisdom and who’s done well for himself and his country in doing so. This is … not the sort of character you’d expect Trump to install in a position of major influence, especially with reports floating around about Team Trump insisting on micromanaging the NSA’s staffing decisions and Steve Bannon setting up a “shadow National Security Council” in the West Wing. McMaster’s the sort of officer you install if you want an advisor who’ll challenge the people around him. I thought Trump was interviewing him for the position largely as PR, because his staff recognized that having McMaster’s name on the short list would make Trump look smart and serious, and that the position would go to John Bolton or Keith Kellogg. Instead, here we are. Full credit to the president on a good choice and a major upgrade over Flynn....
.... As for Bolton, Trump claimed that he’s “going to be working with us in a somewhat different capacity.” Maybe … in this role? Weeding out leakers from the Obama administration is a job I can imagine Bolton enjoying thoroughly....

Trump Party: Italian Politician Borrows President’s Name
by CLAUDIO LAVANGA
ROME — Donald Trump may be working to make America great again, but Gianni Musetti is hoping the president will help do the same for Italy.
The right-wing mayoral hopeful has gone so far as to launch the "Trump Party" in ancient Tuscan town of Carrara.

"I have known who Trump is for a long time because I am a big fan of wrestling," said Musetti, referring to Trump's links to the WWE. "Then, when I watched his rise to power, I saw in him the leader that we in Italy haven't had for years."
The 31-year-old said "Trump" was an obvious name for his new party because he sees the president as the heir to Italy's last strong conservative leader — Silvio Berlusconi, the billionaire who was elected prime minister four times before being ousted in 2011.
"They are very similar," said Musetti, who is also the leader of the right-wing "Gioventu' italiana" youth movement.
"They are both successful businessmen who gave up a comfortable life to get into politics at the service of the people," he added. "And they are both attacked by the media and the judiciary, who don't like their politically incorrect way of doing things."....
