First They Came for the Gays

I hate to put it this way, but I cannot rule out a time when gay Europeans will choose to flee to somewhere where they will be safer… and where might that be, I suppose?

So if 10% of all people are gay and 10% of all immigrants to the US are gay, then it would be in fact wrong to make any issue of that. But if that latter percentage goes up because of these very circumstances, would it be wrong of many Americans to have a problem with that, for the exact same reasons Europeans SHOULD have had a problem with the sheer numbers of Muslim immigrants, for which their failure to do so has led them to this moment? Namely, do we have some sort of obligation to accept large numbers of people whose cultural norms are at odds with us, when we know they will immediately start using freedom to advance those very norms?

More to the point, there is a very good reason not to allow large numbers of such immigrants from fear. And that is that it is not for such people to immigrate, it is for such people to pick up guns and knives and start killing their oppressors. (Haven’t they been advocating this in the third world, from the safety of their couches and occasional picnic-like demonstrations, for decades now?)

And, since they are amost certainly Darwinists, isn’t there an argument to be made that, if they are not able and willing to defend their lives and “culture”, said lives and culture will soon be overrun by the stronger competitor? And Darwin himself would note that if they allow that to happen, it is merely a natural and expected process.

In a nutshell, let’s set aside any anti-gay thinking here because that is not what this is about. It is about chickens coming home to roost, chickens that many of the people hated by the gay political community have been warning about for decades.

And the answer is not to come to the US and to bring their pathologies (political, NOT sexual, let me be clear) with them.

In as few words, they fight for themselves where they stand, right now, or they die, culturally or literally. It is not for us to offer anything else, or the Islamists will in fact succeed in their goals, and do so on the backs of our craven and pathetic unwillingness to confront the world as it is, not as we wanted it to be when we were mere children.
