America Should Grant Political Asylum to Victims of European Tyranny |
America has long been a beacon of freedom to the oppressed, a shining symbol of liberty with – as our leftist friends tell us – an unlimited moral obligation to provide perpetual shelter to anyone who suffers at the hands of their government. Millions of people from around the world have ignored that irritating asylum requirement that you apply at the first country you reach and have come all the way over here to America in a quest to quench their yearning for being free (as well as their yearning to turn our country into the same kind of garbage hellhole they allegedly fled from, but that’s another column). And we need to keep this proud tradition alive by offering political asylum to the growing list of victims of oppression by the socialist technocratic globalist bureaucracies that rule Europe.

That’s hate speech.
Oh, and say goodbye to jury trials and also let’s allow magistrates to sentence people to two years in jail with no right to appeal. Democracy is far too important to be allowed to be put at risk by allowing democracy. The largest parties in Britain, France, and Germany are effectively banned. The other parties cut them out of any ability to affect policy, the regime media – the BBC is literally the media of the regime – slanders them as tools of that mean Putin guy for not caring enough about faraway Ukraine and cuts off their access to the public debate, while the government spies on and even arrests the leaders.
Which is what Putin does, but this is different because reasons and you must love Putin and also shut up. Britain is Russia without the borscht and babushkas – except in Russia they no longer
