Why? You ask why all this is happening? And why it can't be stopped?
I'm going to risk my neck, life and limb I guess, but I do have some very strong feelings about this. And I don't think they're going to be so popular with everyone. But here goes anyway.
1. Yes, I think it's terrorist-related. I think this country has a proliferation of terrorists "sleeper" cells of mideastern origin that have been here for years. Why?
2. Because the vast majority of Middle Eastern states...well, let's be more accurate: because the ENTIRE Muslim world despises Isreal and despises us for supporting Isreal. We sell them sophisticated weapons systems of all sorts, and give them our financial and military backing. You notice the local Muslim population in Isreal mainly throw rocks. The Arab/Muslim world cannot afford to strike Isreal directly and risk retalliation by Isreal and the US. Thus we have terrorists.
The US cannot be confronted directly by any current "power" in the world, so we are attacked by "individual" terrorists. This is essentially the same thing that happened in Viet Nam. Little asian folks wearing black pajamas riding bicycles down the Ho Chi Minh trail carring supplies to guerrilla forces in the south. Not only did they beat the shit out of us (because the politicians wanted a "limited" war) but we also lost our first war with the entire world watching...and learning how it was done.
Part of how Viet Nam was lost was through the fact that small groups of guerrilla fighters were present in great proliferation throughout the south. Hiding in caves. Pretending to be native southern farmers. They blended in, disappeared. In other words, the south was riddled with "sleeper cells" of, essentially, terrorists. Sound familiar?
3. Now we come to the last thirty or so years of American domestic politics. The Left in this country wants as many immigrants to come here as possible. Notice how illegal immigrants have been granted more and more and more of the rights and privileges of American citizens; rights like driver's licences, health care, schooling, and on and on and on. Who gives these rights to illegal aliens? The Left, that is, the democrat party; or the activist leftist judges sitting in U.S. District Courts all around the country. Remember, most of the Liberal agenda that has become established in this country has been established by the fiat rulings of the courts; they have not been passed into law by acts of congress. That could never happen.
Why do leftists want to throw open the gates to the US to aliens and even make it comfortable for illegal aliens? Who do you think the illegal aliens are going to vote for when they get the chance? That is, when congressional leftists find some way to convert illegal aliens to legal aliens. Remember recently when Gephardt wanted to pass a bill through the house that would have made ALL CURRENT ILLEGAL ALIENS IN THE US legal in one fell swoop by act of congress? That would have instantly created something like 15 million new democrats to vote for people like that detestable Gephardt, or worse, that sickening Daschle.
4. So, with the doors to our country deliberately flung wide open by the left, every tom, dick, and harry, and every Ahmed, Ali, and Yassir come tumbling in too. Sleeper cells. Urban Guerillas. Terrorists.
The democrat (read: Marxist) party of the United States puts party and politics ahead of country, constitution, and common sense. If we are infested with armed Islamist fanatics, and I believe we are, you need look no further than your local democrat party to discover how they got in here.
Let some Libertarian, or conservative politician whisper that perhaps we need to tighten up our immigration laws, and the democrats howl to the heavens, beat their breasts, rip their garments, gnash their teeth, and intone darkly about how unfeeling, unfair, and just downright nasty those small-minded conservatives are. Like I said, they can only see the loss of potential votes for their side. They don't give a good god damn about WHO they're letting in, as long as they can ensure that they will vote democrat when the DO get in.
5. Watch for continued attempts to disarm the American citizenry. Or, failing that, to register all firearms so that they will be easy to find when the government (now totally comprised of leftists) comes to confiscate them.
6. This is not just happening here. Did you know that on 9/11 there was an attempt to bomb many other places in the world that never made it into the news? The Rialto Towers in Melbourne, Australia - attempt to bomb on the same day. If you go back and real international newswires and newspapers you can find out for yourself.
In America, it looks like, and IS, a political contest between left and right. However, that context is far too small. Looked at from a worldwide perspective, we have the democrat and republican parties in this country squabbling, while ISLAMIC FANATICS are watching and waiting. I submit there is no political ideology as fanatic as a religious fanatic (something we all know something about).
If we want to ever be safe in this country again, we will throw out ALL persons here illegally right now. And, if we had any sense, we'd stop voting for Marxists in democrat party costumes. Then we'd have to fix our borders with Canada and Mexico. Why?
Because the Islamic world is not going to tolerate the Jewish state of Isreal in their midst, and they perforce have to destroy or weaken the props holding Isreal up. That would be us. The Islamic world has been made rich by our need for their oil. They have been given motivation to destroy us by the strength of our feelings of moral and ethical responsibility for the existence of the State of Isreal.
If we are to believe what we are told, the Jews left Egypt, marched into the Levant, killed everyone right down to the last man, woman, child, old men, old women, young lovers, everyone, and took over the land, saing, "This land is mine, God gave this land to me..." Unfortunately, it was not THEIR GOD who was doing this giving. Five thousand years later, this Jewish nation was again shoved down the throats of the residents of the Levant by countries far, far more powerful than they, and again they said, "This land is mine, God gave this land to me..." Unfortunately, this time THEIR GOD has a billion followers and LOTS of money. So twice in the history of humanity the Jewish people have, in the eyes of the residents of the Levant, been shoved down their throats. However, THIS time, they know how to strike back, and they've got the fanatics and the money to do it. They know HOW to do it because we taught the world how to successfully fight us in Viet Nam.
Whew! I apologize for writing such a tome. I also apologize if I have offended anyone's political or religious sensitivities here. I didn't mean to do that. I'm just calling it as I see it. I think we're killing ourselves, or at least we're allowing the democrat party to trade our safety for THEIR lust for new democrat voters. But I digress.
My two cent...two dollars worth.
