London Bombings

Four separate bomb blasts in London this morning have shattered the illusion that the UK would be immune to terrorism, primarily due to their tolerant muslim immigration policies. Admittedly, the attacks were fairly mild, the death toll minor compared to what the casualty rates could have been, might have been, if the terrorists had wanted thousands of deaths. They would only have to target a single soccer or other sporting event to do that. This was a demonstration of solidarity of a cause.

Naturally, those on the Left will insist it is because of the U.K.'s participation in the war on terror in Afghanistan and Iraq. But, then the Left is so blinded by their hatred that they are irrational at best, deluded always, and miserably, selfishly hateful at all times, that they are irrelevant to any rational discussion. Anyone could make just as persuasive an argument that the French encouraged the bombing because they lost the Olympics bid. In the end, the only known fact will be that the terrorists are probably islamofascists who hate everything Western, a blinding hatred greatly encouraged by the Left in general, the French who despise anything not French, and every disfunctional Arab country eager to focus the fanatacism of their disaffected youth on other, more distant, targets.

In the meantime, Americans everywhere are devastated by the attacks. For most of us, London is, in our hearts, a second home, one where the soul migrates to find enduring historical roots. An attack on London is an attack on us. We share more than the English language. We share a common history, shared values, and, once, Christian values. In the last fifteen years the British seem to have lost their way, a detour in history toward socialism, a denial of their own proud heritage, a reversal of their independence and entrepeneurship and a diminished spirit. Much of what I admired about the British is no longer part of the British character. Instead, sadly, I think of holligans and hateful Leftwing politicians and destructive immigration policies that threaten to eliminate a culture that was once the envy of the world. I think of political correctness that negates much of our human learning experience and common sense solutions, and the disease of multiculturalism that make all things equal, good and bad. And I think of the cries of "institutional racism" that form a thin excuse to thin the ranks of authority and supplant it with ideologues, all promoted by the disgrace of the BBC that has degenerated into Pravda-like propagranda.

No bombs, no terrorist attack, no assault on Britain can be as destructive as secularism, socialism, and apathy have been to the U.K.
