Steyn gets it right, and he gets it right with a certain flair. He would have made a great Press Secretary.
I believe we’ve heard “Enough is enough.” before.
Lets see how long it takes the Brits to counterattack with candlelight vigils, flowers and the especially those savage teddy bears.
Today is another Teary Solidarity Day in the UK. Flowers, candles, and teddy bears are accumulating in their appointed places. Photos of the slain are being displayed on television and in the newspapers, and weepy citizens are lamenting their tragic loss. New hashtags proliferate on social media. And politicians recycle their tired clichés about standing together and not letting the terrorists divide us and etc blah yak.
Things continue the same, in Britain and throughout the Multicultural West.
Thanks for Zakeet for the above!
The above is The Stockholm Syndrome on national scales.
Thanks to our second amendment, this is how we coexist!
“What is happening in Britain and Europe is that this problem was imported and that, until you stop importing it, you’re going to have more of it.”
Exactly.
They are still trying to maintain legalisms because they still do not perceive themselves as being in a war.
You have to have borders that exclude people who do not like you. You have to have citizenship laws that exclude people who do not want to be one of you. You have to boot all surviving family members of anyone who commits an act of terror, citizen or not. You have to recognize that citizenship handed to people who do not want to belong to your society is a fraud perpetrated by, not just the faux-citizen, the regime and the bureaucracy. And they need to be rooted out root and branch.
And they need to make sure not one “military age” male survives the siege of Raqqa who isn’t wearing an approved military uniform.
Smaller lives.
An apt phrase - if they can’t kill us, they would love to restrict us.
Love Steyn. He finds ways to skewer the folks who use false premises to try and mitigate the violence of the terrorists.
“...the obnoxious remarks of someone on the ABC’s Q&A panel that an American has more chance of being killed by a falling refrigerator than by terrorists. This happens not to be true. As far as I can tell, the only source of this bon mot is a US Consumer Product Safety Commission report that found that, between January 2000 and December 2011, toppling television sets, furniture, refrigerators and all other domestic appliances killed a total of 349 Americans - or 29 people per year.
For purposes of comparison, in Britain Islamic terrorists have just killed 28 people in 12 days. [SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE: it’s now 29.] More to the point, your refrigerator is not trying to kill you, and not eternally seeking new ways to do so. You don’t have to worry about your fridge getting hold of an automatic weapon, or a dirty nuke. The Islamic supremacists want to kill as many infidels by whatever means are to hand. Nor are statistics relevant: If you’ve lost your only child because she went to an Ariana Grande concert, that’s 100 per cent of your kids who are dead. When it comes to deceased loved ones, the only statistical pool that counts is your family, not the nation or the planet.
This is a heartless sophistry from, in large part, the very same people who supported the policies that imported these pathologies to the west”
Bump....
