It's about time these establishment types began wising up<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

[. . .] Immigration to the U.S., and citizenship itself, should be seen, again, as a privilege, not a right\u2014and assimilation and integration, not multicultural separatism and ethnic and religious chauvinism, should be the goal of the host. We need not single out Muslims in terms of restricting immigration, but we should take a six-month timeout on all<\/em> would-be immigrants from countries in the Middle East deemed war zones\u2014Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine, Pakistan, Syria, and Yemen\u2014not only for our own immediate security but also to send a general message that entrance into the U.S. is a rare and prized opportunity, not simply a cheap and pro forma entitlement.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The inability of Barack Obama and the latest incarnation of Hillary Clinton to utter \u201cradical Islam\u201d or \u201cIslamic terrorism\u201d in connection with Muslims\u2019 murderous killing sprees again is exposed as an utterly bankrupt, deadly, and callous politically correct platitude. Mateen did not learn to hate homosexuals from the American government, popular American culture, or our schools, but rather from radical and likely ISIS-driven Islamic indoctrination. From Iran to Saudi Arabia, the treatment of gays is reprehensible\u2014but largely exempt from Western censure, on the tired theory that in the confused pantheon of -isms and -ologies, multiculturalism trumps human rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, the Left will blame guns, not ideology, for the mass murder, forgetting that disarmed soldiers who could not shoot back were slaughtered by Major Hasan, that the Tsarnaev brothers preferred home-cooked explosives to blow up innocents in Boston, that the Oklahoma and UC Merced Islamists did their beheading or stabbing with a knife, and that Mateen likely followed strict gun-registration laws in obtaining his weapons.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Sharia\"<\/a>Indeed.  There is no right to immigrate, and the USA has no obligation to accept subversive elements. We do have a right, however, to demand assimilation.  This has definite consequences.  If you are a taxi driver you cannot refuse to accept as a fare a person coming out of a liquor store with a closed container of spirits.  If you work check out in a supermarket, you cannot refuse to touch a package of bacon. If you refuse, you ought to be fired on the spot.   If you want to dress up like a nun of the 1950s, go right ahead, but we had better be able to see your face.  <\/span><\/p>\n

We are tolerant, but not to the point of tolerating the intolerance of Sharia.  You must renounce it and accept our values if you wish to live among us.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are peace-loving, but we are prepared to defend our superior culture against barbarians.<\/span><\/p>\n
