Most people have no sense of history so how are you going to put 2 and 2 together?
“...he is all that stands in the way of a generation...or more...of Marxist rule...”
It is unfortunate for America that more of the weak-minded electorate do not realize this horrid fact.
they want no boundaries...they want free access to sell their crap everywhere...they want to restrict some items to send the prices skyrocketing and impoverishing more and more people....see pharmaceuticals....perfect example..
and, as they unleash foreign animals to be around us, the chaos that it creates is the cream on top...
animal dung, all of them.....
“There are two ways to deal with refugees: one is to promote dialogue, and inclusion; the other to be unwelcoming and uncaring”
A third way is to make them go elsewhere.
Correct problem, asinine conclusion by the author. The author seems to thing inclusion and tolerance is the answer for a refugee crisis. The answer is to turn them away before they become a problem. But I agree that history has an interesting way of repeating itself.
The author’s conclusion is just what he is ‘supposed’ to say.
Of course immigrants who truly wish to fully join and ar truly needed should be welcome. That has made our country and others prosper.
Accepting immigrants that don’t want to integrate and aren’t needed is a recipe for disaster. It’s so stupid that I can’t think of an example from history of it occurring.
It IS a common practice in history for invaders to drive vanquished before them to sap the defender’s resources.
Ping.
How about a plan for a pathway to citizenship in America.
Follow the rules, and demonstrate willingness to process into what makes America great.
The migrants trying to get to Europe right now are not about to raise up in arms, and Europe is not—thankfully—the Roman empire. But this story shows well that migration has always and will always be a part of our world. There are two ways to deal with refugees: one is to promote dialogue, and inclusion; the other to be unwelcoming and uncaring. The second has led to disaster before—and in one way or another, is sure to do so again.
However, the reality is we have always been the first, but now we are getting the same results as the second. So to hell with them, and Europe had better learn to say the same and quickly.
Why?
We don’t have a “mismanagement” problem. We have a problem with the managers. They are orchestrating the demise on purpose.
F U B O!!
I agree. The author to me draws the wrong conclusions. Probably trying to be PC.
How about a plan for a pathway right back to where they came from.
Rome: Barbarians from the north, roads fell into disrepair, values eroded, reliance on the govt., laziness prevailed, etc.
They will not have to. The new mayor of London, 1 of 8 children born to a Pakistani bus driver and seamstress, demonstrates all they need to do is flood the elections. Perhaps with the help of liberals, at least initially. In the interim, they can rely on host housing and assistance.
There are two ways to deal with refugees: one is to promote dialogue, and inclusion; the other to be unwelcoming and uncaring.
The author is either terribly naive or scheming. She limits us to one of two choices, one of which is to open the door and the other designed to shame us.
Today’s “Crisis” is a people of incompatible ideology advancing a physical invasion under the guise of refugees.
The errant conclusion stated in the article is as Leftist as it gets. .
>Rome: Barbarians from the north, roads fell into disrepair, values eroded, reliance on the govt., laziness prevailed, etc.
Actually the western empire tried taxing people beyond the Laffer maximum for almost a 100 years. Ultimately the rich dodged the taxes, the poor didn’t pay any and the middle class was taxed into extinction. Banditry became a prime middle class job because A) no taxes, B) got to rob the super rich who paid nothing. The empire tumbled into decline as it destroyed the middle class.
So yes, the author is advocating assimilation, but then made the Goths, victims, as justification for their actions in overthrowing the Roman Empire in that part of the world. Truth is that the Goths did not want to assimilate, because it would take a generation at least to hold positions of power. When they outnumbered their hosts, they became the power holders. End of story.
