That's the logical thing to do for self-preservation, and it's what previous generations would have done---and it is the judgement and actions of previous generations who got us where we are. We won't be so kind to OUR descendants, it seems.
People, however, even some on this board, are so brainwashed with political correctness that the put it before the survival of the Republic. Amazing, isn't it?
Exactly! And I don't care how politically incorrect or insensitive people think it is! Although barring immigration is not really right. After all, there are plenty of Muslims who are not murderous terrorists, and therefore should have the same opportunity to come here and flourish as everyone else - but they should certainly be monitored after they get here.
I really need to get a copy of the Quran (Koran?), so I can find out for myself what it really teaches. If it says what many claim, then the whole religion borders on being more of a destructive cult than anything else. I can't imagine trying to read through it though, its probably even more ponderous than the Bible! My apologies to the more pious among us, but you have to admit, the Bible is pretty tough reading!
It is too bad that our forefathers did not think to put in the constitution freedom of Christian religion or freedom of Judeo-Christian religion. They probably intended that, as there were only Christians here at the time, but it would have been better if they had said it, so that we didn't have to allow the practice of satanism in our prisons and now the current Islamic conflicts.
