Slate published a stupid piece about how if the US was really concerned about stopping violence it would ban white men. Why? Because stupid Progressivism, that’s why.
Tucker Carlson debated Mark Hetfield, a refugee advocate, about the Trump Travel Ban 2.0. Hetfield’s argument was, there hasn’t been a history of terrorism from the six nations named in the travel ban so it is discriminatory.
I know I’m a nobody from Flyover country, but here is what I see, and why I support the travel ban 100% and think it should be expanded.
ISIS has been successful in hiding its fighters among refugees going to Europe. ISIS admits this with pride.
Terrorism, terrorism, terrorism, whatever.
When I read about what is going on in Syria, every single day I read about ISIS chopping the heads off Christians. In fact, there have been so many public beheading in Syria, Google can’t keep track of them all. Don’t forget, a couple of years ago two Muslims beheaded a British soldier in England on video.
Is it too much to ask that people who come from a culture in which beheadings in the streets is normal NOT be relocated to the US?
These people butcher other Muslims like animals and make videos about it (Warning). I don’t want them here.
I don’t think it makes me a bigot to want to keep the head choppers and throat slitters as far away from me a possible.
Not to mention, the argument that the “Muslim ban is a gift to ISIS” is the worst think I’ve ever heard. “If you don’t let us in to your country, we will kill you” isn’t a refugee policy, it is a hostage tactic. That line of thought should be an automatic disqualifier.
I don’t think this makes me a terrible person. Just an American that wants to see America stay beheading free.
All through the depravities of slavery, Reconstruction, and a good portion of the 20th Century in the US, white men were not committing ISIS-like mass-murder spectacles, dumping 1000s of bodies in mass graves, committing mass rapes, and obliterating cultural artifacts. If Ben Mathis-Lilley’s Slate piece had valid points in it, they were obscured by such comparative hyperbole.
