| #3 Steyn correctly notes that the left subverts language to prevent honest discussion - and unfortunately goes on to accept the terms of the debate. Namely: what is all this business about "assimilating" immigrants? Used to be, immigrants came to the US prepared to integrate. Immigrants are not the passive object of an active verb, in need of "being assimilated" by unknown actors. Immigrants are the actors, who can choose to engage in the act of integration, or they can choose not to. No one bears any responsibility for that decision, other than the immigrant in question. It is doubly infuriating that these selfsame leftists are the ones who have diligently undermined and eroded the "melting pot" concept - a society into which immigrants integrate - and instead promoted "cultural diversity," group identities, balkanization, and tribalism. Not only placing the onus on others to do the job of assimilation, but also ensuring that it probably won't work. 3 dead and 250+ maimed and injured is but one predictable outcome of the successful replacement of the melting pot/integration model with the diversity/assimilation model. And they have the gall to blame the rest of us for not working hard enough to fix a problem we worked hard to prevent them from creating in the first place? ?!?!?! [Expletives deleted] So pissed, I hope this still makes sense. |

| #2 Think Steyn also thought FBI is Officer Barbrady from South Park ("Nothing to see here" is his catchphrase). |
