Now come riots in Sweden, which present a conundrum for any thinking liberal. Sweden is the gleaming polity for all those who claim that socialist societies represented the humanitarian ideal of social, political, and economic policies. Sweden is a society where people are encouraged to engage in free competition, but the product of their abilities is redistributed to the needs of others through a tax structure that takes 70% of an average worker’s income.
With its welcoming and compassionate immigration policy and its expansive welfare system, Sweden seems to be a model for the welfare state programs others in the West proposed as a deterrent to riots and a means for the creation of a harmonious and sensitive society. For liberals, watching a riot in Sweden is like seeing a porn theater open at Disneyland.

Those weren’t social programs, they were surrender.
And who is rioting? The guys getting the free stuff, it should be the guys who are doing all the work.
Many years ago, in this country, it was common for legislators to argue that only those immigrants who shared a common relgion or culture should be able to emigrate here. The Leftards, in their hatred of Western civilization and America, rejected sensibility on the grounds that it was ‘discriminatory’. Yes, IT WAS, FOR GOOD REASON.
For some obscure reason the Swedes hung onto the place but in recent decades it's turned into one of those outdoor slums Europe is so famous for fostering.
There is no way those people living there are integrated or assimilated, nor will they ever be. That doesn't happen unless you actually have some population adjustments, but if you're not prepared for them it's foolish to import more of that kind.
Who in their right mind would want to throw burqas over them?
You have to have a mental problem to want to do that.
