Inhumane: cruel and without compassion for misery and suffering. Humanitarian: compassionate and concerned with human welfare. Is it possible to be both inhumane and humanitarian at the same time?
Sweden boasts that it is a humanitarian superpower. However, in being humanitarian, the Swedish government has created a multicultural problem of immense and horrific proportions. To encourage foreign refugees who utterly oppose Western values, Swedish leaders have chosen to suppress the facts that its citizenry is under attack on a daily basis. Further, it punishes citizens who protest the refugee policies, and has allowed no-go zones to spring up where the police and other protective services dare not go. Essentially, while being humanitarian to its refugees, it is inhumane to its citizenry.
Germany makes no realistic claim about being humanitarian. After all that would be somewhat absurd considering its 20th century history of warfare and genocide. However, its refugee policies are based on atonement for past sins, and this includes committing sins against its citizenry. Like Sweden, its citizenry, police and protective services are faced with (and largely defenseless against) this violent clash of cultures. Again, while being humanitarian to its refugees, Germany is inhumane to its citizenry.
France has imported a massive refugee population over the past 50 years and has by far the largest number of such people in country. Because of the massive multicultural failures of France’s leadership, there are some 750 no-go zones scattered about the country. Its capital, Paris, is continually faced with simmering street warfare and terrorism that has substantially undercut the tourist business and requires a well-armed semi-military police force to “keep the peace?”. Paris, once referred to as the “City of Love”, is now a city under siege and a city to be avoided. Alarmed French citizens are increasingly opposing humanitarian arguments and appear to be on the verge of rejecting the anti-citizenry inhumane policies of its governing officials.
The socialist and globalist left likes to turn this argument around by claiming that the refugees have been treated inhumanely and it is the highest level of humanitarian thought and action to take care of them. However, if taking care of refugees means acting cruelly and inflicting misery and suffering on one’s citizenry, a people who have done nothing wrong, then this is at least as inhumane as the refugee situation.
The conflict of inhumane humanitarianism has been caused by a failure to appreciate the problems created by multiculturalism – and by an overly generous and supposedly compassionate welfare state that, while designed for citizens, attracts huge numbers of non-citizens from ideologically incompatible regions of the world. The outcome of this socialistic “do good” folly is extremely destructive and irreversible without massive leadership changes. At the very least, the humanitarian welfare pipeline has to be cut off because to do otherwise is ultimately inhumane to citizens and refugees alike.

So, the lesson is that folks must work hard to sustain and improve themselves, their families, and their communities rather than relying on government-driven, government-designed, support systems?
YOU MEAN, that all those Republican-majority states – that voted Trump – that are mostly NET-TAKER states (TAKING more from federal government program that they pay into federal taxes) would stop TAKING from all those Democratic-majority state – that voted Clinton – that are most NET-GIVER states (GIVING more into federal taxes than they use from federal government programs)?

By its very nature, a welfare system will eventually destroy itself and take any nation involved along for the ride to hell. What is happening in most of Western Europe is a perfect example of welfare gone horribly wrong – too many people chasing too few resources and no restraints on who get it. Even in this country, welfare is undermining work and enterprise because far too many people regardless of location find it easier to sponge than to work.
We may agree more than you imagine on constructions of incentives in social-moral-economy. But where, I imagine, we disagree, regarding how incentives are assigned. You appear to believe that the wealthy DESERVE to have a favorable incentive system MORE THAN the dis-advantaged – working classes who struggle to support themselves and their families, the elderly and the disabled who are unable to earn, and dependents (children, those with chronically disabling illness, etc) – do not so deserve. I believe that incentive system are best that FAVOR empowering the dis-advantaged.
Actually, I believe no individual should be incentivized by government. No matter the wealth, or lack thereof, the politicians will turn incentives given into political power for themselves. Even the founders recognized that and spoke about it.
AND BECAUSE of the fact-based assessment of the Founders, which you share, the structures of governance BECAUSE OF THAT HUMAN BIAS tends toward favoring the ADVANTAGED … even in the very words selected and ideas expressed (e.g. in the original Constitution that women are not enfranchised and the Black people are not consider human persons).
You really need to read a bit about the history of colonial and revolutionary times. It was exactly the opposite as the Crown deliberately suppressed the colonies in order to insure the wealth of the King and central government.
When you venture into constraints on women and slavery, you are creating a different argument that has nothing to do with my point about welfare or, for that matter, your point about incentives.
I assume you know that there were about 3,000 slave owners who were black at the time of the Civil War and that women’s suffrage has been around for over a hundred years.
The skin color of those violating God’s sovereignty and Jesus’ commandments are a matter of indifference to their sin.
You apparently recognize the flaws in all mankind. That is a good thing.
The rule of law is why you have personal freedom and opportunity. Once you pervert it with such things as the tax code, you are retreating to the rule of kings. That is why, to me, the swamp exists in DC much as it did in the palaces in ancient Europe. Unless that swamp is drained, liberty will continue to be lost to the loving hands of a not so benevolent dictatorship – either progressive or Islamic.
Bobigny, Argenteuil, and Aulnay-sous-Bois were also hit with violent riots this past week. Incidentally as more major French cities rapidly resemble third world war zones, tourism in the nation has been on a steady and stable downward trend.
I notice that the travel to Europe advertising is dominated by river cruises. These are floating hotels and restaurants that can be protected from riot more easily than a land based hotel. Also, visits to tourists is more easily organized by tour guides. Today, if I was determined to go to Europe it would focus on river cruising and well organized and secure tours. However, the only part of Europe of current interest to me is Eastern Europe where Islam is recognized for its dangers.
Why is this blog censoring our comments?
I wish they would, but I can still see you.
o really …. may Honey Boo Boo sit on your face right after a heavy Tex-Mex dinner …. or sumpfin like dat
The no-go zones are Islamic enclaves of, by and for Muslims and no one else. The sanctuary cities are protecting primarily illegals, and Tump wants to clean out the criminal elements first.
I can see the intent behind “no go zones” in Europe and “sanctuary cities” here. However, I am afraid both policies are misguided and provide amnesty to some very dangerous criminals.
Vive Marine Le Pen! Vive la France!
You have to wonder if the French will actually do the intelligent thing and elect her. There are so many decades of socialism to overcome. A paradigm shift, however, can happen quickly if the conditions are right.
The interesting aspect is that she is more fiscally liberal than the French Republicans which gives her a “working mans” appeal. IMHO, that cohort (a la The Donald) of union workers may put her over the top in May. Stay tuned.
Le Pen is literally the last hope of the French people to have a future.
As the pope recently said, better an atheist than a hypocritical Christian like yourself.
As Rush Limbaugh said, liberalism is a mental disorder (of global proportions).
No liberal here, so let’s presume you are confessing.
The meaning and origin of Rohe:
North German (also Röhe) : from a short form of a Germanic personal name formed with Middle High German rōhen ‘to roar’ or Old High German ruoh ‘care’, ‘intent’.
Ruh roh
🙂 You’ve earned your Scooby snack today.
As Rush Limbaugh also said last year, “everything is a lie”.
Everything liberals say is a lie. Fixed it.
That is not what I heard him say. I agree with him on that, with the exception of the Bible. “Everything is a lie”.
Also, beginning to look like Trump, Ryan, and McConnell are choking on eliminating Obamacare. Besides, you simply cannot keep parts of the ACA without the mandate, unless government prints money to pay for it. (Sound familiar) 7 years of lies about eliminating Obamacare, the Republicans say they had a plan of their own. Over 50 times they voted to repeal the ACA under Obama, and now, they will not repeal it under Trump. So, if that is not a lie, what is? Also, I am NOT on Obamacare, or government healthcare of any kind, yet.
And I want proof that Trump is actually moving out illegals. Why? Because HSA’s Kelly apparently said in Mexico this week that there will be NO mass deportation. Once again, somebody is lying. I want the illegals out. I only want Trump to do what he said he would do.
Trump has to pass legislation in congress to do what he said he would do. I’m waiting.
It is a little over a month for Trump, so patience is needed. Having said that, I agree about the GOP playing games with the repeal and replace of Obamacare. We will see what Price unvails as the consensus replacement.
As far as illegals, at last there is some positive deportation action along with the wall and an increase in ICE agents Hiring. If deportations weren’t occurring, then the sanctuary cities and states wouldn’t be so hostile to ICE.
so scary that not only are you still not ashamed of Trump but you are now quoting Limbaugh as if he was a genius. Please tell me you don’t live in Loudoun County. Even if you do, please tell me that you don’t so that I don’t have to worry about crazy neighbors.
No, I quote Limbaugh when it serves a purpose.
As for me living in Loudoun, or anywhere in NOVA, never happen. No way. You got to be crazy to live up there.Old country hick here.
The Dems threw labor under the bus. And then there is that open border thingy. Not to mention all the perverted bathroom s–t. I can’t vote for that BS.
Open border in Loudoun? Did not know there was a border here. You get crazier with each post
Are you an illegal immigrant? Yes, all counties have borders. Americans here legally know things like this.
Wait. Someone makes you show your passport when you leave your home town? Do these guys wear white scrubs and do the walls of your room have padding?
Up here is Liberal Loudoun, we are free to travel anywhere we like and we do it check IDs of anyone simply coming into the county. But I guess you are promoting the GOO viewpoint that more govt is the only good govt
Again, are you an illegal immigrant? Do I need to contact ICE?
First you have to learn how to spell ICE
ICE=ICE.
NoVa will be nice once the p
inkos self-deport when the free gubbimint money dries up. And we’ll have a metro to suck up local monies.
You seem to spend a lot of time frightened. We’re all for Trump and we’re right next door.
Or, horror of horrors, in the next desk at work – oh, SD doesn’t work. Sorry.
I fully expect you to lose reality and end up in a clock tower
“Pope” Francis, who literally gets on his knees and kisses the feet of Muslims is absolutely ecstatic over the Islamic invasion of Europe. He calls for the gates to be opened wider every day it seems.
Traitor Bergoglio cares not one bit for the hundreds of thousands of Christians killed in defending Europe from repeated Islamic invasions over the millennia. He does not care for the millions of Europeans enslaved by Muslims over the millennia.
He does not care for the victims of terrorist attacks or violent gang rapes in the present. All he cares for, safe behind his walls is more Muslims. Always more. Even the Dalai Lama has expressed greater concern for the safety and survival of European Christians!
So interesting to know you can read the Pope’s mind. You must be a great man
Pope Francis: “I encourage you to welcome refugees into your homes and communities. It is our greatest security against acts of terrorism.”

“AN AFGHAN refugee who raped a woman after she let him stay in her flat has been jailed for three and a half years.”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3831991/Wheelchair-bound-woman-gang-raped-six-migrants-Swedish-asylum-centre-asking-use-toilet.html
“A wheelchair-bound woman was gang-raped by up to six migrants at a Swedish asylum centre after asking if she could use their toilet, it has been reported.
The woman, in her 30s, was sharing a taxi home with a man after going in the medieval town of Visby on Sweden’s Gotland island when she asked to stop off.
Her fellow passenger invited her inside before she was brutally set upon in the toilet, her lawyer said.”

“CELLE, Germany — An immigrant from Iran, Mehdi Hushmand was a beloved high school science teacher known for his devotion, and for going out of his way to help settle some of Germany’s newer immigrants — the more than one million migrants and refugees who arrived en masse last year.
So it was a big deal here in Celle when Mr. Hushmand was found bludgeoned to death in the basement of his home in February. But the shock was bigger still when the prime suspect turned out to be a recently arrived migrant from Afghanistan whom he had befriended.”
Sadly I can do this all day. Yeah, “let them in” says Traitor Bergoglio, let them in to your home indeed.
still no indication that supports your statement “He does not care for the victims of terrorist attacks or violent gang rapes in the present. ” This is merely a projection of your own phobias and hatred. You are characterizing what you perceive as an injustice to your personal sensibility, nothing more
It is really a strange phenomenon to have so many Christian leaders ignoring the evils of Islam. Appeasement has not and will not work either in politics or religion.
not to mention so many Christian leaders ignoring the hate and murder from those attacking Muslims
You apparently haven’t heard either the Pope or the Archbishop of Canterbury. They bend over backwards to condemn such acts by Christians by calling it the opposite of Christian thought – no such from imams.
Funny, I haven’t heard anyone accused of christianophobia or Jewishophobia, yet the Muslims freely commit violent acts that easily be called either one. By the way, calling Islam what it is isn’t phobic it is factual.
I was referring to your leader, Golenboy Trump
MAGA is better than NWOG
Isamophobia=Islamorealism
The left and Islam have entered into an apparently formal alliance. They both share the same goal (destruction of the West and Christianity) so this isn’t too surprising.
This reminds me of liberals infatuation with the USSR. The USSR privately called it’s western liberal allies “useful idiots”. It’s fairly obvious who will be calling the shots in this relationship as well and who the “useful idiots” will be this time too.
