Memes and More
Savage -
I couldn’t possibly do justice to all the deliciousness - go there and see for yourself.
BTW, my husband happened to be watching The View (I know, I know - what can I say? He’s a sucker for a pretty woman - and, Sunny Hostin is pretty cute). I noticed that Sunny made a defense of Jamaal Bowman’s actions, saying both:
That he may have legitimately confused a Fire Alarm handle with a door access mechanism - that’s really too stupid for words!
And, secondly, that the Continuing Resolution was too long - at 70 pages - to pass without some time to consider it more fully.
For those whose memories of that time period are fuzzy, here’s a short history of how that Act was rammed through with little opportunity to debate or even examine the bill.
I managed to get a lot of news/current events reading done this morning, in between cleaning and organizing. I like to take a quick break every half hour or so, and that’s as good a way of passing the time as any.
And, I found this on Ace of Spades.
The question is:
Should we do ideological screening on those entering the USA, whether formally (VISAs and other temporary permissions) or informally (a softer way of saying “pushing their way in WITHOUT our permission”)?
Hell, yes!
We’ve done that in the past. Around the beginning of the LAST century (20th), America had a flood of immigrants coming in who wanted to push their Leftist goals - those were Socialists, Fabians, Communists, and Anarchists. MANY of them who did go on to engage in subversive or terrorist activities. See this link.
Anarchism in America covered a wide swath of ideas, from quirky cranks like Thoreau, to the Utopians, to more violent Anarchists of the 20th century, including Sacco & Vanzetti and Emma Goldman, to name two of the most famous. The Italian Anarchists/Socialists that immigrated to America brought a higher level of violence with them, leading to the expulsion of many, and just that type of ideological screening that The Left is foaming about now.
The Left labeled efforts to keep outsiders from bringing political violence to America the “Red Scare” (always in quotes). They promoted the notion that this was just Ethnic/Racial/Religious Profiling, and that the “New Americans” were not a danger.
Hmmm. Seems The Left likes to recycle debunked ideas and positions, too.
Look.
The various times when the United State government tried to oust Leftists from employment in government or schools, or used their ACTUAL ACTIONS to deport them, were based on real, hazardous situations. The Left WAS trying to bring our government down, whether through “subtle” indoctrination, covert activities in government, or outright collusion with other governments/organizations opposed to American values and norms.
Again, like many are today. Those “Urban Mostly Peaceful Protests” don’t light themselves up, now do they? No, they are planned, encouraged, and promoted by The Left, using cannon fodder of unemployed, undereducated saps to commit the crimes.
