OR, Will We Persist in "Denial"??
Yesterday, April 19, 2013, will definitely make it into our history books (despite the clout of Texas).
The "facts" given to us by our Mushroomin' Media are plentiful and worthy of scrutiny.
Start with the "boat". Who searched that yard? Did they use sniffer dogs? Was there blood on the cover, or not? Just how did it get missed?? On a day when over a Billion Dollars were expended, in one of the richest metropolitan areas in our country, it took an ordinary citizen (after his yard was "searched"), to find the suspect. Whoopee!! Feel "secure"??
Then, there is the rant of the uncle. He spoke volumes, as to the methods, processess, and mind-set, of today's "preferred" immigrants -- those hand-selected by some element in our State Department. These could fly "under our radar" with a white skin, and "settle" easily among us. Feel more secure?? Look at the size of the family; the part that "returned" to the place from which they were "saved" by our immigration rules; and their apparent first allegiance to tribe and family, rather than to this nation. Look how easily they got full citizenship status. You must really feel secure by now.
Then, there's the element of our politics. I'm sure this type of immigrant "fits in" securely among that 47% of our population who are paranoid over our first non-white President. Our President got more scrutiny (about his birth, and other personal matters) than these people got. That element flexed its muscle in the Senate last week -- led by Senators, two of whom have eerily similar immigrant histories.
We have a nasty habit of romanticizing the immigrant in this country. Just like color racism, which dogs the immigration question in other ways, the blind belief that all immigrants are "loyal", "assimilate beneficially", etc., is childish; and has become embedded in our national psyche. For Pete Sake!, we don't even demand allegiance from our wealthy citizens, or our corporate leaders, who don't pay their fair share of taxes, and hide their money abroad!
The dead suspect complained that he had no "friends", and he didn't "understand" us. Maybe that happens in a culture that has turned "friend" from a noun into a verb?
Our security is too important to leave in the hands of our politicians! The people of greater Boston showed us what can happen when ordinary citizens become personally involved in their security!
Stay Vigilant! Get to know your neighbors; but know your Security Personnel, even more!
