Useful Perspectives -- Islamist Imperialism and Selective Victimhood

Steve Antler, the Econopundit, has a great suggestion. Quit pussyfooting around with euphemisms and speak plainly about what we are facing. He labels it “Islamic Imperialism” but I would prefer “Islamist” to designate the enabling ideology, informed by dreams of a restored Caliphate, underlying Islamic radicals' incessant attacks on every other culture in the world.

Read Ephriam Karsh's important article that inspired Antler's post here.

Antler is on a roll. He also posts a piece of information devastating for those who hold that the U.S.A. is uniquely hostile to immigrants and minorities.

He writes:

Consider the following proposed amendments to the US constitution:

First, disallowance of immigrant participation in US political affairs. This incluces a ban on participation in demonstrations and other public expression of political opinion.

Second, an "Americans first" employment policy, native born Americans having priority over foreigners for all positions in which status of citizenship is not deemed "indispensable."

Third, a ban on all immigrant or naturalized citizens' service as (a) federal elected officials, (b) members of the cabinet, or (c) justices of the Supreme Court.

Fourth, a ban on immigrant service in the clergy.

Fifth, a ban on immigrant ownership of land or aquisition of any rights to natural resources.

Sixth, authorization of private individuals to make citizen's arrests of any individuals suspected of being illegal immigrants.

Seventh, unconditional right of federal officials -- whenever they deem such action appropriate -- to deport immediately and without due process any noncitizen.


So, what do you think of these? Are you opposed? Upset?

I certainly would be – anyone would if these were seriously proposed as amendments to our federal constitution. But these features are already a part of the Mexican constitution. Sorta puts an interesting perspective on things, doesn’t it?
