I hope to never hear another idiot politician tell us that deporting illegal aliens and preventing Muslim Terror Killers from entering the U.S. is "That's not who we are." m/r
... we go out of our way to demonstrate that we are the suckers they believe us to be.The West’s Parasites Again Become Its Predators | The American Spectator
One of the airport bombers received a nine-year sentence for shooting at police officers in 2010. His younger brother, who authorities say perished in the subway bombing, received a five-year sentence for carjacking in 2011. With both men behind bars, they could not possibly have carried out the Brussels attacks, right? Right?
“People who persist in eating up the estate of a great chieftain and dishonoring his house,” Odysseus’s wife Penelope responds, “must not expect others to speak well of them. Why then should you mind if men talk as you think they will?”
The same question might be posed to the West’s visitors. This week several of their number indiscriminately executed travelers for the crimes of going to work on the subway and preparing to fly at the airport. They did this in the name of Islam but should anyone acknowledge this too loudly — that the loyalty of a significant number of Muslims for our house resembles the loyalty of the suitors for Odysseus’s house — co-religionists cry bigotry.
The West provided a peaceful existence that sheltered the Belgian-born terrorists from the bloodshed of life in many Muslim nations, the freedom to practice their faith, and economic opportunities that include health care, welfare, and other financial benefits unconnected to any obligation to find gainful employment. Counterintuitively, yet commonly, they hate their benefactors.
Unlike Penelope, the West possesses the power to evict its suitors. Instead, we go out of our way to demonstrate that we are the suckers they believe us to be.
