My ancestors were screened for disease and for their ability to support themselves as they - legally - passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry. When we give up the rule of law, we give up our safety. Democrats disgust me.

“The Democrats are reviving the Dark Ages philosophically, culturally and intellectually. No small task to undo a millennium and a half of progress!!”

Speaking of “Dark Ages”...

The universalism of Islam, in its all-embracing creed, is imposed on the believers as a continuous process of warfare, psychological and political, if not strictly military. . . . The Jihad, accordingly, may be stated as a doctrine of a permanent state of war, not continuous fighting.”— Majid Khadduri

“Leprosy?

I visited a lepers’ village on the Amazon River in 2006. Ugly disease.

Back in the 1960’s, when Southern California was the fastest growing economy in the world, if someone had predicted that leprosy, typhus and bubonic plague would become a threat to the region during the 21st century, I would have asked him what he was smoking.
