It's a challenge keeping up with continuing developments in the news and new outlooks on that news but to ignore them would be to ignore the ramifications and new perspectives that come to light. Therefore a few updates on previous articles.
Regular readers may recall the sickening story of an 8 year old Liberian immigrant girl in Phoenix who was brutally gang-raped by 4 fellow African boys, aged 9-14: /blog1/?p=1131
Her dad blamed his child, disowned her for bringing shame on the family, and condoned the actions of the other cherubs since it was just a cultural thing.
The shame should have been visited on the father for his failure to comfort his daughter and salve her emotional and physical wounds. Her mom didn't utter a public word.
In a very incisive piece on Pajamasmedia.com, /1otSf, the author brings out a significant point about that horrific event, a perspective that all Americans should be aware of and should digest and deeply consider before the next election.
As the son of a legal, Irish immigrant, it would be grossly hypocritical to take a stand against all immigration. Nevertheless, I feel free to speak out against some immigration, particularly when the new arrivals hold beliefs that not only are antithetical to established American values and principles but radically different.
Such is the case of many people who have come to our shores from the Third World. And, it's not a question of color, something that must be stipulated nowadays to forestall the usual charges of racism. It's a question of those values which are vastly different from American traditions.
Phillis Schesler makes a very salient point about that whole rape situation, not directly in respect to our immigration policies, disagreement with which would be deemed racist if honestly explicated, but to the history and values of many Third Worlders.
As she writes, they "bring both their barbarism and their traumatized histories right along with them when they come to America."
To think that even after a few generations that Third World immigrants could adapt to such beliefs that the rape of a child can be condoned in any way, after centuries of adherence to African-and Islamic-beliefs, is patently ridiculous.
It's only a matter of time until those new arrivals expand their horizons to include white 8 year olds as their objects of affections.
In a related event, the Obama White House in resident expert on science, John Holdren, is on record as believing that kids aren't real human beings until they are "socialized," which could take years after they are born: /blog1/?p=1137.
My research couldn't determine whether Mr. Holdren is or is not a flaming homosexual but I know this much: The man has never met a 2 year old and probably not an infant. He hasn't a clue as to their innate humanity.
Further delving into Holdren's history turns up the fact that he not only denies that infants and babies are real people but that he believes trees are "people," or at least that trees are qualified to be plaintiffs in a court of law: /YfZtg
Will Rogers and I would concur that we never met a tree we didn't like but if Will also said he thought an oak or a poplar or even a giant redwood should be entitled to take its grievances to court, Will and I would have to part company.
I'd also question the late Mr. Rogers' sanity.
For some reason, perhaps because he is our president's science advisor, Mr. Holdren's sanity isn't being questioned by our rarely-inquisitive media and despite his contention that "One change in (legal) notions that would have a most salubrious effect on the quality of the environment has been proposed by law professor Christopher D. Stone in his celebrated monograph, 'Should Trees Have Standing?'"
Holdren said in a 1977 book that he co-wrote with Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich: "In that tightly reasoned essay, Stone points out the obvious advantages of giving natural objects standing, just as such inanimate objects as corporations, trusts, and ships are now held to have legal rights and duties," Holdren added /rYKJZ
Hey, that works for me, as long as that damned rock can be indicted for screwing up my garden and that soil in the back can be prosecuted for being toxic to my plants!
Unfortunately, John Holdren is not a joke. He may be a joke but he is also your president's science advisor.
Does anyone really not believe our nation is in deep chit?
