the immigration wars
August 18, 2007
Well, spoken, man.
European laws may be stupid and pussified, but is that any reason to generalize all Muslims as fundamentalist idiots? Surely, you have one or two Muslims in Europe who don’t contemplate stoning women and blaming rape on victims.
I understand your passive aggressive indignation (we have similar BS going on it the US) but your intellect would be better served with another pinch of aperspectival objectivity (something lacking in the conservative brain).
People in the US have similar appeasement toward illegal immigrants (i.e. not enforcing the law that is in place, creating laws to make it easier for them). Naturally conservative and liberal leaders blame each other. And then contradict their alleged values by calling American citizens “racist” when they speak out.
The real problem is both sides. They both seem to have an agenda of uniting Canada/US/Mexico (it is totally denied by officials even as it is happening).
I suspect that in europe there is a similar mission of uniting all peoples.
It sounds noble but there are two problems:
1) the corrupt elite who want it (only want to control the masses like cattle)
2) People are NOT ready for it.
Particularly fundamentalist and ethnocentric people. They can not accept other cultures. Ironically, the US (as diverse as it is) is very ethnocentric.
Socially eloquent people like this make influential statesmen. Their attraction (beyond entertainment) is that they have a valid point. They are able to clearly and bravely point out that something is very wrong. But then they have a muddy perspective that can’t be bothered with critical thinking because their world is black and white with no spectrum and no shade of grey.
The masses follow like a flock of sheeple because they don’t think for themselves. Rush Limbaugh’s HUGE audience is a perfect example. They call themselves “ditto heads” because “rush is right” no matter what he says.
