The Art of National Suicide
National Review ^ | 3/28/2016 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 03/29/2016 4:47:41 AM PDT by Servant of the Cross

America can still avoid sharing Europe’s fate. But only if we take action.

Because of what Europe has become, it now has few viable choices in dealing with radical Islamic terrorism. Its dilemma is a warning to Americans that we should turn away from a similar path of national suicide.

After suffering serial terrorist attacks from foreign nationals and immigrants, a normal nation-state would be expected to make extraordinary efforts to close its borders and redefine its foreign policy in order to protect its national interests. But a France or a Belgium is not quite a sovereign nation any more, and thus does not have complete control over its national destiny or foreign relations.

As part of the European Union, France and Belgium have, for all practical purposes, placed their own security in the hands of an obdurate Angela Merkel’s Germany, which is hellbent on allowing without audit millions of disenchanted young Middle Eastern males into its territory, with subsequent rights of passage into any other member of the European Union that they wish. The 21st-century “German problem” is apparently not that of an economic powerhouse and military brute warring on its neighbors, but that of an economic powerhouse that uses its wealth and arrogant sense of social superiority to bully its neighbors into accepting its bankrupt immigration policies and green ideology.

The immigration policies of France and Belgium are unfortunately also de facto those of Greece.

You're either in the Trump cult or you suck. That's the new simpleton mentality.

And that is what really sucks here ...

Logical argumentation is dead, it isn’t taught in the schools any more, from what I can tell. Hewing to the PC narrative is what is important.

They are actually going to have to kill them ALL, you know.
Yes, even the cute little ones in their cute little burkas.
Too bad the EUropeans don’t have any guns—but neither did Charles Martel.
All those kiddie-poos and body parts. Whatta mess.

You are full of it. There might have been one or two, but that does not mean all of them do. And if you don’t like it than don’t read it. No one is holding a gun to your head and forces you to read it.

I would expect DUers not to know the difference between an publisher of an op-ed (National Review in this case and an author of the op-ed VDH) not to know the difference, but not a freeper. It makes me wonder

And nothing stops me from writing “Kevin Williamson has betrayed the creation of William F. Buckley.” And the more succinct—”National Review Sucks”—Has your precious Hanson commented on the arrogant bilge coming from NR’s editors?

I suspect Hanson has more important things to worry about than whether or not NR's editors have been sufficiently awed and worshipful of your dopey orange muppet god. He'll let you worry about laying the palm fronds at The Donald's (all praise and blessings be upon him!) feet.

The Frankfurt School.
Know of it? If not, you should.
Search it up.
It’s adherents led us to this point.

Kevin Williamson saud that working-class white Americans should just die. Then when called on the ignorant outburst, doubled down because...because...San Antonio. Or something. Hanson is from a farming background more than academics and should definitely have something to say about Kevin Antoinette — !

Oh my goodness...... VDH is trying to be serious right in the middle of a juicy sex scandal

So does VDH support Trump

VDH has railed about illegal immigrants in and around his family home in the CA central valley.

And yet NR hates the only candidate calling for a moratorium on Muslim immigration.

NR didn't write this. A man by the name of Victor Davis Hanson did. There are many viewpoints expressed on NR.
