“The erection of a new government, whatever care or wisdom may distinguish the work, cannot fail to originate questions of intricacy and nicety: and these may, in a particular manner be expected to flow from the establishment of a constitution founded upon the total or partial incorporation of a number of distinct sovereignties. ‘Tis time only that can mature and perfect so compound a system, can liquidate the meaning of all the parts, and can adjust them to each other in a harmonious and constituent whole.” Publius
Several years ago doctors told patients with allergies that it would help their condition to move to Phoenix, Arizona. And it did. But as the years went by, Phoenix became a haven of pollens that now cause some of the worst allergies in the country. Why? Because those people with allergies who followed their doctor’s advise and moved to Phoenix brought their baggage, namely their pet plants, with them.
Another such similar thing happens when people from the west and east coasts, eager to shed themselves of the city and its fast paced and stressful life style, move to the beautiful and tranquil rural towns of the Rocky Mountains. They suddenly realize that the conveniences, such as unlimited amounts of water and electricity, they had previously enjoyed are either not there or are frequently disrupted. They bring themselves angrily to the town meetings, demanding that the services they were accustomed to be provided. Unhappily they find that small towns don’t have the funds for them to resume their cushy live styles.
And so it has become with much of America. People from other countries come here because some seek prosperity, some seek liberty, and some seek relief from an oppressive and tyrannical government. They did so in many other Western countries as well, to wit, England, France, and Denmark to name a few. But they brought their baggage with them and with it the demise of what they sought. Some refuse to assimilate, learn and speak English, abide by our laws, and expect what they have not earned. They expect America to change her ways to what they left behind. And with it they change America into what they, supposedly, wished to escape. Their baggage is full of pollens: Fundamental and radical religious practices that are oppressive and demeaning, cultural differences that are counter productive to life in America, and the idea that America should change to suit them. And now, with a vocal liberal faction and administration, the promise is being made that Americans will do just that.
The dictionary carries several definitions for the term Diaspora. The most common definition being the dispersion of the Jews outside Israel from the sixth century B.C, when they were exiled to Babylonia, until the present time. Another definition is the dispersion of an originally homogeneous entity, such as a language or culture. Americans fought for and built a language and a culture that saw them through 200 years of prosperity, unity, economic stability, and a fierce pride that made it the most wealthy and powerful nation on earth. It was dedicated to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It was dedicated to allowing individuals to pursue their dreams. It did so partly by demanding personal responsibility of its citizens. One is rewarded by one’s efforts. At least we all hope for and believe in such a society, even if it is often run by corrupt leaders.
That is changing, just as our new president stated so many times during his campaign speeches. His administration caters to those who envision big government being the panacea to all their ills, where everyone is equal regardless of one’s efforts or one’s idea of personal responsibility.
Chaos is an attribute of human nature. The founders of this country understood that and tried with foresight and eloquence to enact rules that would, through the ages, hold chaos to a minimum. Morality cannot prevail without a certain respect for human nature. Understanding that utopia is not possible renders us secure. To dilute our culture, to make that which helps us maintain an upper hand available to our enemies, to try to appease them with obsequious gestures, to denigrate the military and those who continue to believe strongly in the ideals and values provided by our public faith will surely put an end to what we were and what we are.
A reverse or imploding diaspora may be an apt description of America today. Instead of being sent “out of”, we are being dispersed from within.
The Taliban have imposed their harsh brand of Islamic law in the 90 percent of Afghanistan under their control. The Taliban say their version of Islam is a pure one that follows a literal interpretation of the Muslim holy book, The Koran.
Under Taliban laws, murderers are publicly executed by the relatives of their victims. Adulterers are stoned to death and the limbs of thieves are amputated. Lesser crimes are punished by public beatings.
Yes, you say, but such abuses and barbaric practices are not a part of our culture. No? There were approximately 5000 honor killings in America over the past few years. Do Muslims believe in such brutality?
“An Egyptian Arab Muslim father in Dallas, Texas allegedly shot his two beautiful teenage daughters to death because he disapproved of their American-style ways. Their names were Amina and Sarah Said and their father’s name was Abdul Said. The girls looked sassy and full of life; they looked like Dallas teenagers. They were 17 and 18 years old and their friends considered them “geniuses.” Abdul was a taxi driver. (In parts of Europe, taxi drivers are known to aid and abet honor murders).
“Perhaps how Amina and Sarah dressed, and how they thought, shamed their father Abdul. He was no longer in control of his women—a mark of shame which provoked his need to kill them. Perhaps their flowering sexuality enraged him because it made him desire them—and from this he concluded that other men might desire them too and if he could not have them, no man could.”
“In the CBC documentary, a clear distinction was made verbally: "honor killing" is not an Islamic practice. One of the women interviewed also mentioned this. This is a cultural one. It was even mentioned there are Jews and Christians in Jordan who engage in this sick practice.”
But if you believe that, read what the woman pictured at the top of this blog says about it in the second link below.
Shira law has found its way into England and Denmark. There are hints of following suit in this country, and of allowing schools to be disrupted 5 times a day for prayer to Allah, for atheists and Buddists to decry America’s public faith, for America’s melting pot to become more like oil and vinegar, for liberal ideals to convict conservative values as radical extremism, for allowing the vote by convicted felons, and for convicting those with any common sense who think one ought to be responsible for one’s actions.
And now, if you believe as your founding fathers did, we are labeled racists, radical extremists, and a danger to American society.
