To the editor:
A recent news item discloses that congressmen are astonished at the popular opposition to illegal immigration and to rewards for it in the way of amnesty and public benefits, such as free health care. In the historical novel “Poland,” James Albert Michener refers to “those gradual steps which lead simple men from the contemplation of a wrong to discovered truth, to a voicing of complaint, to actual resistance...” Lawmakers should ponder Michener’s observation.
Ali Abdul-Amir Allawi in his book “The Crisis of Islamic Civilization,” notes that Islamic cultures became, over time, characterized by “colonisabilite,” a susceptibility to colonization. It appears that, similarly, many American leaders are intent upon opening the nation to colonization by a world seized with reactionary socialist and theocractic zeal, with strong overtones of totalitarianism. This tendency runs counter to America’s revolutionary ideals of free people governed by broad standards, without a public establishment of religion. Our leaders’ current machinations harken back to the concept of rule, rather than governance, by coercion, instead of consent.
This reactionary degeneracy stems from the top of the political pyramid, those who have fooled enough of the people enough of the time to be elected. They are trying to make America colonizable. They think they can import numbers of parasites whose votes can be bought by hand-outs.
We simple folk are contemplating many grievous wrongs. Some of us are voicing complaints. Our freedom to do so is constantly threatened and subjected to governmental reprisal and intimidation. Hopefully, we will go to the ballot boxes to resist the rot from above. If the recent past be prologue, voters could find at the polls thugs recruited and deployed by organized crime, Community Organizers Division, to intimidate the electorate.
Given this possibility, it might be best to go to the polls in large groups, with some members able to defend the weak and the meek among voters. Light body armor might be advisable. Cameras with face-recognition software could be used to see whether people loitering at the polls have been arrested, prosecuted or convicted of criminal offenses. The detention of convicted felons found within a thousand yards of polling places on election day would be appropriate, in order to protect voters in the exercise of the franchise.
