Month: January 2017

The refugee problem the United States currently faces is a crystal clear, black and white issue.  Thankfully, we now have a president, Donald Trump, who realizes that.  He is living up to his promises to the half of America that also recognizes the problem.  By now, everyone should be aware of the executive order President Trump signed on Friday which indefinitely blocks Syrian refugees, and temporarily bans immigrants from several Muslim-majority nations, from entering the U.S.  For all those bleeding hearts out there crying and bitching in the streets, here is a simple breakdown of the situation that may help you understand the necessity of what President Trump is doing.

Fact 1: We face an enemy motivated by a violent interpretation of Islam.  Not Christianity, not Judaism, not Buddhism, but ISLAM.

Fact 2:  We know a significant majority of Muslim Extremists originate from, and/or are trained within, a particular cultural background and geographic region.  Within that region, Syria is a particularly volatile nation fraught with risks involving immigration; as can be seen by the multiple terrorist attacks in Europe.

Fact 3: Our enemy does not wear uniforms and they do not tattoo their foreheads with symbols identifying themselves as Muslim Extremists.  They are subversives who hide among innocent people (including other Muslims) for the purpose of achieving their violent actions.  They have explicitly told us they wish to destroy our nation and will infiltrate it by hiding among refugees.

Fact 4: Our current system for vetting refugees sucks.  It will take a significant time to develop a better system.  For those who don’t seem to understand this, let me clarify: currently it is very easy for Muslim Extremists who hate the U.S. to enter our country, avail themselves of our freedoms, and then stab as many Americans as they can in a mall or university, for example.

Fact 5:  In order to buy time for improving the vetting process and simultaneously keep our nation secure, it is necessary to stop immigration from areas of risk (see Fact 2); as least on a temporary basis.

It’s very simple: There are a lot of refugees who want to come to this country and Muslim Extremists have explicitly said they will infiltrate our nation using these refugees.  As our president, Donald Trump has an obligation to protect American citizens.  As sad as it is that these refugees are stuck in a bad situation, they are not citizens, and they are just one case among many worldwide.  It is not President Trump’s responsibility, nor the responsibility of every American, to improve the condition of all humanity; definitely not at the risk of jeopardizing our own safety.

All President Trump is attempting to do is slow down the flood of potential threats pouring into our nation.  Since when is it so horrible to slow things down in order to re-evaluate a policy?  A safer U.S. would be beneficial to all.  Refugees seeking a safe home and a secure future would appreciate it if the nation they are coming to is not as chaotic as the one they just left.  American’s should not underestimate the amount of damage that can be done by just a few Muslim Extremists once they are here.  Things can get bad very quickly, and it benefits both citizens and would-be citizens alike to make sure those who are allowed into this nation would not do anything to intentionally harm it.  Regardless of what President Trump does, refugees will not have access to the American dream if there is no dream to come home to.

These bleeding heart protesters need to calm the hell down.  This is not some Hitlerian, genocidal executive order that says all Muslims who want to come to the U.S. are bound for certain doom.  A Syrian refugee asking to come to the U.S. is not going to drop dead all of the sudden because someone tells them, “I’m sorry, you will have to wait, as we are currently re-evaluating our vetting system.  We would like to ensure the man in line ahead of you does not kill you once you arrive in the U.S.”

There will come a time when our nation can be less strict in our immigration but we have to ensure we have a nation first.  This will not be the first time in history that refugees did not get instant gratification.  Hopefully, for their benefit and ours, it will not be the last.

This morning Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45^th President of the United States.  The protests are already underway in many places.  I do not envy President Trump and the job he now faces.  There is so much dissent in our nation and so many people that are just plainly wrongheaded.  Case in point; Cal State Los Angeles’ so called “Special Interest Housing Community. “

I bring this up on Inauguration Day for two reasons.  First, because it demonstrates the completely backwards thinking that President Trump and his supporters now officially face.  Second, because five days ago was the anniversary of the birth of a man who lead a movement that also faced a similar backwards thinking.  That man was Martin Luther King Jr.

Don’t get me wrong, I disagree with a lot of MLK’s politics.  After all, he was socialist enough in his thinking that he could be considered a Maoist.  However, he was an extraordinary man by any measure.  He led an effective movement to bring civil rights to Black Americans at a time when they faced true discrimination.  Unfortunately for him, he paid for that movement with his life when he was assassinated on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee.

Fast forward to Fall of 2016 in Los Angeles, California.  The Black Student Union of Cal State Los Angeles petitioned the university to create housing specifically aimed at housing primarily Black students.  CSLA bowed down to this request by setting aside a small group of dormitory rooms to be primarily used for housing Black students.  These rooms are not segregated in a literal sense; students of other races may apply for and live there too.  Having said that, are they aimed at segregating Black students?  Absolutely.

What is ironic and quite tragic is that Black students asked to be segregated.  The Black Student Union at CSLA actually claimed they were subject to “racist attack.”  These so-called attacks included, “racially insensitive remarks and micro-aggressions.”  What a bunch of BS.  Most of these dumb, spoiled students probably have no idea what a real racist attack actually looks like.

MLK and his peers grew up in a time when Black students could be beaten to death simply for walking into a certain college dorm, let alone apply for learning and housing there.  Here we are almost 50 years after his death; Black students are whining because they cannot handle diversity or opposing opinion now that they have been given all the opportunities that MLK and his peers could literally only Dream of.

Part of the objective of going to college is to expose one’s self to different cultures and opinions.  Doing so grants incalculable life experience and social skills, if one keeps an open mind.  All MLK asked of his opponents during his struggle was to keep an open mind.  50 years later, Black students in California are willing to close their minds; they want to live, learn, and socialize only with those of similar background and thought as them.  I dare say that MKL would tell them, “shame on you!”  MLK died so that these spoiled brats could have the opportunity to achieve higher learning and expose themselves to varied cultures and life experiences.

CSLA is not the only university in California offering such a quasi-segregated housing feature.  Stanford and University of California Berkley, both allegedly universities of great liberal thinking, have similar “themed communities.”  What a crock of crap.  It doesn’t matter if students of all backgrounds have access to such communities (thereby allowing universities to deny they are segregated).  What matters is there are students, and apparently officials, who feel the need for such communities to be established.  This is the type of backwards thinking facing President Trump and his supporters nowadays.

I look forward with hope for the future of the United States but with the realization that it will come at some cost.  Things will always get worse before they get better.  The cry babies will go out and riot and protest under the guise of freedom of speech.  Yet, if you disagree with them, they will either trample on your freedom of speech, or they will go hide in their “safe spaces” and “themed communities.”

Is has only been a few hours since President Trump made his inaugural address and already the liberal media is making the asinine comparisons of President Trump to Adolf Hitler.  Meanwhile their liberal followers riot in the streets.  This is the kind of back-ass-wards thinking which has become prominent in the United States today.  The election of President Trump is a step in the right direction but there are clearly a lot of mouth breathers out there working against us.  The struggle has only just begun.
