Khizr Khan the Muslim Gold Star Father who harangued Americans at the Democratic National Convention with a mute hijab-wearing wife at his side is just another in a long string of human shields liberals send out to defend their heinous policies. The Jersey Girls were the classic example first described in that magnificent book
Godless: The Church of Liberalism.
In order to shut down a debate theyre losing Democrats find victims to make their arguments for them pre-empting counter-argument by droning on about the suffering of their victim-spokesperson. Alternative opinions must be preceded by proof that the speaker has sacrificed more than someone who lost a child a husband or whatever.
Khans argument delivered angrily and in a thick Pakistani accent at the DNC is that our Constitution requires us to continue the nonstop importation of Muslims.
If the U.S. Constitution required us to admit more than 100000 Muslims a year -- as we do -- wed already be living in Pakistan and Khan wouldnt have had to move to get that nice feeling of home. So the argument part of Khans point is gibberish.
Are Americans allowed to have an opinion on whether thats a good idea?
So far its worked out great!
In addition to the sudden appearance of honor killings clitorectomies hijabs and massive government frauds Muslim immigrants have given us: The most devastating terrorist attack in world history followed by terrorist attacks at Fort Hood the Boston Marathon a military recruiting center in Chattanooga Times Square Vaughan Foods in Oklahoma San Bernardino and an Orlando nightclub among other places.
Weve admitted 2 million Muslims just since 9/11 thats more than had been admitted
before 9/11. If we dont make it 3 million were monsters? May we ask how many Muslims Khans mystery Constitution requires -- or is that out of bounds unless we had a child who died in Iraq?
Apparently sending out a victim to make their argument was the only option left for the Make America Muslim! crowd.
After Trump somehow got the crazy idea that a presidential candidate was allowed to discuss government policies and proposed a temporary ban on Muslim immigration -- which by the way is perfectly constitutional -- the entire media and political class erupted in a sputtering rage.
Conscience of a Nation Speaker Paul Ryan proclaimed: Thats not who we are. Jeb! Bush made the subtle and clever argument that Trump was unhinged. Marco Rubio called any pause in Muslim immigration offensive. ABC News Jonathan Karl called Trumps plan outrageous -- which was way better than MSNBC where Trump was compared to white supremacists and Nazis.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Trump had disqualifie(d) himself from serving as president for suggesting any slowdown in Muslim immigration. Vice President Joe Biden -- tribune of blue-collar Americans everywhere! -- said that if Trump were the nominee Hillary would win in a walk.
Then it turned out Trumps Muslim ban was a huge hit with actual voters. Hillary who promises to quadruple the number of Syrian refugees we bring in is quite far from winning in a walk.
So the media and political class had no choice: They had to produce a victim to make their argument in order to block any response. For their next trick Democrats plan to produce a little girl whose parents were recently murdered to present their tax plan. (Better make sure they werent killed by an illegal alien!)
Does anyone know what Khan thinks of gays? How about miniskirts? Alcohol? Because I gather were going to have to turn all our policies over to him too.
What have you sacrificed Barney Frank??
Muslim troops accounted for 0.2 percent of all U.S. troop deaths in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Southerners accounted for 38 percent of those killed in Iraq and 47 percent in Afghanistan.
What has South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley sacrificed compared to the families of these men? How about Nikki put their flag back up?
The Confederate flag wont lead to thousands of dead and maimed Americans as Muslim immigration does. The only danger posed by the Confederate flag is that media elites will hold the South in even greater contempt than they already do assuming thats possible.
But as long as they brought it up if only people who lost children in our wars may discuss public policy then only they should vote not only on how many more Muslim immigrants this country needs but on all government policies. What has Chuck Todd sacrificed? Have any current members of The New York Times editorial board ever lost a son in war? (Fighting on the American side.)
The inevitable conclusion to the hysteria over Khan is that only those who have worn the uniform and heard shots fired in anger can vote in our elections. Hello media? Hey -- whered everybody go?
