Sowell: Will Orlando Change Anything?
Creators Syndicate ^ | June 14, 2016 | Thomas Sowell

Posted on 06/13/2016 10:15:50 AM PDT by jazusamo

However great the shock of the massacre in Orlando, it is only a matter of time before we start hearing again the fact-free dogma that "diversity is our strength."

If there is any place in the Guinness Book of World Records for words repeated the most often, over the most years, without one speck of evidence, "diversity" should be a prime candidate.

Is diversity our strength? Or anybody's strength, anywhere in the world? Does Japan's homogeneous population cause the Japanese to suffer? Have the Balkans been blessed by their heterogeneity — or does the very word "Balkanization" remind us of centuries of strife, bloodshed and unspeakable atrocities, extending into our own times?

Has Europe become a safer place after importing vast numbers of people from the Middle East, with cultures hostile to the fundamental values of Western civilization?

"When in Rome do as the Romans do" was once a common saying. Today, after generations in the West have been indoctrinated with the rhetoric of multiculturalism, the borders of Western nations on both sides of the Atlantic have been thrown open to people who think it is their prerogative to come as refugees and tell the Romans what to do — and to assault those who don't knuckle under to foreign religious standards.

The recent wave of refugees flooding into Europe include Muslim men who have been haranguing European women on the streets for not dressing modestly enough, not to mention their sexual molestation of those women.

Just more screaming to disarm law abiding citizens or further infringe on a right supposedly protected by the constitution.

It sure hasn’t, and won’t change the turkey in the WH.

Nope. Rampaging Dems have never cared about Americans laying dead in the street due to their policies.

And Tantruming never Trumpers never stopped attacking Trump after Orlando.

If the push for diversity wasn’t producing an increase in Democrat voters it would be halted immediately. You can be sure of that.

The cops hadn’t even had time to draw the chalk outlines yet and the Leftosphere was already blaming guns and worrying about “backlash”.

So, no, Orlando will change nothing except to open a bunch of one-way “dialogues” over “ common sense gun laws”.

Muslim women who dress in full black cover are practicing sharia law, most likely at the hand of their husband and/or father. This is not PC to say, but they should all be rounded up and deported. Sharia and our constitutional Republic are 100% incompatible.

History demonstrates that diversity weakens.

Cultural groups mingled together are like chemical elements that won’t bond. In times of crisis or evident need of survival, cultural groups will seek their own and compete against others.

Well, it might get that guy elected that you considered such a horrible person.

The guy that was pointing out the problem while on the campaign trail and suggesting solutions that had all the Grand Ol Whores clutching their pearls and smelling salts.

The guy that got called everything under the sun.

What was that guys name again?

I remember odd `conservative’ PJ O’Rourke writing many years ago for National Lampoon about living on a commune of sorts where he enjoyed target shooting.
If he plans on voting for Hitlery, I hope he doesn’t still like guns. Watch for more masks to fall as the days go by.
The Green-Pink lovers are going to try to make lemon-aid out of this catastrophe for gun grabbers.

Won’t change anything. The left is already changing it to Christians hating gays.
9/11 didn’t change anything. This won’t either.
Electing Trump CAN change all this.

Some of Sowell’s words were much the same as Trump’s on the subject and I’m sure the good Dr. is aware of it.
