WELCOME

You are reading the thoughts of one who has kept them mostly out of the public venue. By virtue of the concept, blogs seem narcissistic so you can expect a lot of personal pronouns to show up.

I don't like being pigeonholed, though many have called me a conservative. I agree with much of what is often considered conservative views, but I do tend to occasionally differ on this view point. I have also been termed opinionated. Well, please remember this is my view, and I consider my view valid until convinced otherwise. That doesn't necessarily make it right; it simply makes it my view.

Please feel free to leave a comment.

All right, let's get started. You are about to read neither the rantings of a madman nor the reflections of a genius. Perhaps somewhere in between:

The View From Across the Pond

My wife and I periodically visit relatives in Germany. Since we just returned from the latest trip, I thought it might be informative to share the view from that perspective.

The March 9th edition of Rheinishe Post had an interesting piece on the front page headlined “Now 1600 Dangerous Islamists in Germany”. Well, gee, imagine that. German Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomes a million “refugees” into the country with scant or non-existent vetting and they now find there are some 1600 dangerous people among them with the potential for mass terror attacks. What a surprise.

This seems to be a lesson lost on the open-border advocates in this country. You know, the ones paid to protest every policy our president tries to implement.

Our last trip to Germany was in October. The difference in customs procedures when returning to the US on our current this trip was amazing. Even with automated passport processing for US citizens and green-card holders we still had to stand in lines and show our passports a number of times. While this may seem to be an inconvenience, at least our government is finally cracking down at the ports of entry.

In this country, we hear about unfettered “refugee” immigration throughout Europe. The reality is that many, if not most, of those “refugees” are in fact “asylum” seekers whose homeland is nowhere near a conflict area, Romania, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, Nigeria, Serbia, Kenya, Sudan, and Somalia, are only a few. Their only real claim for asylum is one of economic hardship. They come to Europe to take advantage of the supposed worker shortage in Germany, France, and England only to wind up on welfare and government subsistence because they have no skills to offer. They live in government provided enclaves and spend the day loitering in gatherings while wearing expensive sneakers and clothes. The women have numerous babies, new clothes, high-tech baby strollers, and free travel on buses and trains, all paid for by the working class in their host countries.

With all of this goodwill provided by host countries, you might think these “refugees” would want to assimilate into the culture of those footing the bill. No way! On the contrary, these asylum seekers who are fleeing the oppression in their homelands demand their new hosts bend to their “culture” and languages. The Muslims in the country demand to be governed solely by Sharia law. The bottom line seems to be that they want to create another crap-hole just like the one they left.

If any of this sounds familiar, it’s only because this is also happening in our country. Muslim migration is described in the Quran, Surah 4:100, "And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth many locations and abundance, and whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him, his reward has already become incumbent upon Allah." It’s called Hijrah, and in effect, directs Muslims to spread their religion through invasion of other countries.

But as we are seeing, this is not simply a matter of Muslim invasion, people from many other countries are coming here and demanding we bend to accommodate the same conditions they left.

America may be “the great melting pot” – and many great customs and traditions have been imported with immigrants – but do we really want open sewers running down our streets and run-down shacks with dirt floors in our neighborhoods? Do we want young girls to be forced into marriage or women going around in burqas? Do we want to allow young girls to have their genitals forcibly mutilated simply out of cultural tradition?


The lesson is there if only our leaders would care to see. Open, unregulated, migration is not what made this country great. You can’t make a country great by forcing third-world values and traditions on it. It is a lesson those in Europe are painfully experiencing.
