Peter Hitchens: We Cannot Give Our Country Away Just To Make Us Feel Good
Breitbart ^ | 09/06/2015 | Sarkis Zeronian

Posted on 09/06/2015 12:22:25 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Journalist and author Peter Hitchens has been exposing the hypocrisy and cant of “posturing notables” regarding the refugee crisis. In most recent column for the Mail on Sunday he warns against the fundamental transformation of Britain sought by those seeking to welcome all migrants.

He opens by explaining that having inherited Britain from others, “we have a duty to hand it on to our children and grandchildren, preferably improved and certainly undamaged.” He describes this as “one of the heaviest responsibilities we will ever have,” advising that we cannot just give it away on impulse in the face of the refugee crisis to make us “feel good about ourselves.”

He’s right. And he’s having his head handed to him on FB.

Funny how the Muslims are never subjected to public pressure by the left. The left know that social pressure works. Do they want a Muslim takeover? Do they really hate Christianity that badly? I can’t figure out their angle. The first thing though, after every Muslim atrocity, is to scream, “don’t blame Muslims”. Weird.

God help us. Peter makes a very good point. How can a “Christian” nation help anyone if in the name of “charity” they overwhelm themselves with foreign gods, enemies of their state.

Who will guarantee this whole affair is not a wholesale strategy to remake Europe as well as the Middle East. What other outcome could have been expected when Obama and the socialist countries who have thrown in with him, mostly all secular, see alarm in NOTHING, and famously bring nothing but flattery and spoons to gun fights!

And the weird thing is, Christian Syrians are shunned. Obama even had a group of Syrian Christians jailed in San Diego.

And the Dutch South Afrikans that have been in SA about 400 years, before all black tribes(but one nomadic tribe, that is still nomadic). The other tribes came from the north when the Dutch began trade and developing towns. Now they are being raped and murdered by the millions and no one will take them. They want out.

All ME refugees should be sent to Saudi Arabia. They have plenty of room and money.... And they deserve each other.

What they missed in the article is the tipping point when giving away segues into taking away. If these "refugees" were of a similar culture or ethnic background there would be less worry of conflicts, but these people flooding in are more of the mind of assimilating other cultures, not the other way around. Those doofuses holding those "Refugees Welcome" signs apparently don't know what they are in for.

The Left doesn’t subject muslims to public pressure for fear of having their heads separated from their bodies.

This is really one of the rottenest pieces of racist horsecrap I have ever seen. For years and years and years there wasn’t a whimper when we saw hundreds (knowing there were hundreds of thousands) of black children starving to death in Sub-Saharan Africa. Now that we have hordes of apparently white people in the same spot, we’re obligated to destroy our society.

Only whites get to get in, and the proponents are all spewing all over themselves as if this is the first refugee crisis ever experienced.

Who do you consider white? 87% of the 1.1 million legal immigrants who enter the US annually are minorities as defined by the USG.

We have brought in hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese, tens of thousands of Somalis, Laotians, El Salvadorians, etc.

By 2043, non-Hispanic whites will be a minority in this country compared to being 89% of the population in 1970. We may be the first nation in history to willingly transform the founding, majority race or ethnic group into a minority.

Pat Condell makes excellent commentary on this, too. And he has NO problems slapping down multi-culturalism, where liberals focus on slut walks but ignore women forced to wear burqas and honor killings IN THE UK.

I believe that it’s because the left stupidly believes that they’re on the same team: anti Christian.

It’s a short-term feel-good policy that will have long-term feel-bad results!

And we’re gonna bring in 65,000 able-bodied middle eastern men who have never had a girlfriend to this admittedly oversexed country. What could go wrong?

You’ve done a great job of bringing together the necessary puzzle pieces, all that’s lacking is the finished picture.

Leftists are excessively proud people who refuse to accept personal responsibility and/or guilt for their own vices. Where a people refuse to accept their own guilt scapegoats are necessary. Human scapegoats are burdened with the projected vices of the guilty (i.e., Leftists, “gays,” certain people of color) and crucified on the altars of the self-centered, self-indulgent, and proud. Just as the Middle East is a scapegoat culture where a victim of rape can be stoned to death by her rapist, here in America we witness the rapid rise of a scapegoating society where perpetually victimized people of color scapegoat millions of white people. It is also why ‘victimized’ men and women of Sodom scapegoat and terrorize “hateful homophobic” straight males and females, pedophiles and pederasts scapegoat parents trying to protect their own children from sexual violators, haters of truth scapegoat the truthful, the indecent scapegoat the decent, the cowardly scapegoat the courageous, the envious crucify the human objects of their envy; thieves, rioters and murderers scapegoat society and so on ad nauseum.
