Less globalist propaganda defending Muslim immigration; Liberal debate shifts to domestic gun control

In the response to the gay nightclub massacre, there has been a strange decline (if not absence) of multicultural propaganda telling us not to criticize anything about Islam, that Muslims per se had nothing to do with it, and that we don't need to change our immigration policies to protect Americans from Islamic radicals.

Only the really globalist kool-aid drinkers are saying we have to admit more Muslims and just pray that they don't shoot up another gay nightclub, bomb another marathon, or fly planes into another skyscraper.

Instead, the debate seems to be focusing mostly on gun control, a debate that is always going to be with us, even if the Democrats became a populist and America-first party, a la the Bernie movement. It's an entirely domestic policy debate.

The Bernie people especially seem to have largely conceded the point about immigration from Muslim countries, by ignoring Trump's "incendiary" comments about it, when they're not the type to ignore incendiary comments. The major exceptions are Jewish and Muslim Sanders supporters -- the one being the most pro-globalist group out there, and the other being a major beneficiary of their propaganda.

I've noticed a similar response from MSNBC coverage. They are elitists rather than populists, but like the Bernie crowd, they are mostly interested in improving American society first, rather than optimally managing an interlocking global system. Of course they both have a liberal Romantic view of what the improved America looks like, but liberal vs. conservative is separate and independent from globalist vs. America-first.

"Liberal America-firsters" is a category that doesn't easily fit into the current climate, but give it a little while, and emboldened by the Bernie and Trump movements, we may see them argue more openly (if tepidly) for protecting Americans' interests against hostile foreign groups who cannot be mixed into our society without threatening American values and lifestyles.

Their response is a welcome change from the CNN / Clinton / Bush / Obama / Romney / Ryan crowd, who instead lecture us about the moral necessity of cosmopolitanism over "Islamophobia" after we've been invaded and attacked by jihadist foreigners.

There's been another change just since the San Bernardino attack last November -- do you remember liberals rushing to assure us that ISIS was not "really" Islamic? That was a transparently globalist talking point, to get us to shut up about curbing immigration from hostile cultures.

And of course that canard was nothing new, and not unique to Democrats and liberals -- in 2002, traitor-in-chief George W. Bush, who was truly a prog-tard ahead of his time, delivered this rationalization of multiculturalism, after the 9/11 attacks:

Islam is a vibrant faith. Millions of our fellow citizens are Muslim. We respect the faith. We honor its traditions. Our enemy does not. Our enemy doesn’t follow the great traditions of Islam. They’ve hijacked a great religion. But it’s important, as we lift that veil, to remember that they are nothing but a bunch of radical terrorists who distort history and the values of Islam.

Translation: jihadists are the REAL infidels! Nothing to see here, folks.

This time around, we aren't hearing so much of these slight-of-hand arguments defending unchecked immigration from Muslim countries. Nobody is running with the narrative that the Orlando shooter wasn't a true Muslim, that he was hijacking a peaceful religion, #NotAllMuslims, etc. By now, the Trump campaign has worn away all of that PC bullshit, and given ordinary Americans permission to respond with common sense to yet another Islamic terrorist attack in our country.

In fact, that is the only angle to this attack that ignores the domestic gun control debate, and focuses on international questions -- it is the Trump movement's skepticism of globalism that is picking up steam, not the defense of open borders as a moral necessity.

    You mean no one besides Hillary and the entire Dem establishment, right?

  3. Let's wait a while to see, but he does have something of a gayface. Fag histrionics to lashing out when rejected? http://m.palmbeachpost.com/news/news/orlando-shooter-omar-mateen-was-gay-former-classma/nrfwW/

  5. Tough to get a read on him, since he's pretty stone-faced.

    He does make duckface lips in one selfie, and has raised eyebrows in another (although not straight up, and with mouth agape, like the typical surprised babyface).

    Hard to tell just from his face.

  6. Any audio clips of him speaking? The gay lisp and ultra-resonant buzzing voice is cross-lingual.

  7. Chris Hayes on MSNBC interviewing multiple queer non-whites in Orlando, saying they recognized that pic of him in the tie from Grinder, Adam For Adam, and other gay dating apps / sites.

  8. There may be some self-hating aspect here, but it also sounds like there's a major NOWIG angle, if he planned something out this elaborate and deadly.

    Maybe he kept getting turned down at Latin night for being brown rather than merely caramel.

  9. interesting that James Howell , the Indiana man caught with weapons and explosives going to the Gay pride parade is Gay.

    James Howell dated a 17-year-old boy in Clarkstown, Ind., and police were called multiple times for domestic dispute reports in October of last year. Reports say that police spoke with Howell and he told them that he had an ongoing problem with the ex-boyfriend. Howell told police that the 17-year-old had lied to him about several things including his age.

    "I loving my dead gay jihadi!"

  12. Omar felt deep shame for desiring men in the kafir fashion instead of beautiful young boys.
    "Maybe he kept getting turned down at Latin night for being brown rather than merely caramel."
    Indeed, one of the victims is a Latino from my area, though he was darker than Omar

  14. I can see why the anticulture of male homosexuality horrifies tradition-minded people - it carries the Enlightenment's project of modernity to its logical and most destructive extreme. The atomistic, deracinated, emancipated gay man lives a kind of hyper-modern life.

    Gay men alienate and leave their families and hang out with other gay men who similarly repudiated their families, often by moving far away from their homes to major cities. They meet each other as anonymous strangers for sexual contact in seedy nightclubs, bathhouses and public restrooms. They exchange bodily fluids with men of other races, in the sterile gay parody of miscegenation. And the ones with passports and the wherewithal travel to impoverished nonwhite countries to have sexual encounters with the local gay strangers, then fly elsewhere without giving these men a second thought.

    In other words, gay men have just taken the fastest route to the dead end of the modernist way of existence (I wouldn't call it "way of life"). People who feel revulsion at this phenomenon show healthy instincts, even if they can't articulate the reasons for their revulsion.

  16. Very astute entry you have written here. I do agree that Trump has opened the dialog tremendously stretching the boundaries of what is acceptable to discuss. I worry that if he is defeated in Nov that we would revert back to a much more oppressive regime. If Trump loses there will be a movement from the Left that will tar and feather the ideology that he has permitted to flourish this past year. I fear we could enter a dark time. I think there is so much at stake in this election.

  19. But his solution is just more surveillance. Great, import all kinds of people who aren't going to get along with each other, and then ramp up the police state to see if any are planning to attack any of the others.

    How about keep them in their homelands, and we won't need cameras on every corner.
