Here is another excellent piece by Victor David Hansen. This is the lazy man’s way to blog; posting other people’s work, but it is Super Bowl Sunday and I don’t usually do it this way.
The best part:
multiculturalism is a form of political and historical ignorance. The multiculturalist is an ahistorical fool, who confuses the cultural periphery with the core. Thus the United States is enriched by “multicultural” music, food, fashion, art, and literature from a Mexico or Kenya or Egypt. Fine, wonderful, all the better. But one, in the spirit of “diversity,” does not wish to embrace the Mexican judiciary, the Kenyan economic system, or the Arab attitude to women. Multiculturalism is a fraud of sorts, as the activist who wears the serape to campus never quite agitates for adopting the protocols of the Mexican police or the Mexico City elite’s approach to Indian peoples. We do not see signs blaring out: “We want Nigerian speech codes,” “Treat women as they do in Saudi Arabia,” “Look to the Iranians for gay rights,” “Arabs had the right idea about slavery,” etc. When I do radio talk show interviews, usually the harshest U.S. critics are transplanted Middle Easterners who in their furor at American foreign policy never quite explain why they left and do not go back to places that they now idolize — as if the economic, political, and cultural protocols they enjoy here would appear in Gaza or Yemen like dandelions after a rain if it were not for U.S. imperialism.
I think that pretty much sums it up. In Britain, the same rules apply except that the Dole figures largely, as well. I would like to know how many of the Muslims in Britain are paying their own way.
It is going to be a long two years. You see, the world has figured Obama out, and the wages of our version of 1979-80 are coming due.
Yes, and I am very worried. More so than my children who will have to live with it as I have lived with the consequences of Jimmy Carter since 1980.
