I'm happy for you if articles like this help you assuage your US envy. I can see how all our winning gets annoying, but what are we supposed to do? Really, it is terrible here, particularly in the South and Florida. So stay home and tell your friends to do the same.
No kidding, you know you can get shot around here if you are not careful. Want really tight gun control? go to Mexico instead. or Chicago.
ALL WE NEED IS LOVE ... AND DEPORTATIONS June 7, 2017 In Britain, as in the U.S., when an Islamic terrorist is said to be, “known to law enforcement,” the translation is: “He is being actively ignored by law enforcement.” After the latest terrorist attack in Britain -- at least as of this writing -- Prime Minister Theresa May bravely announced, "Enough is enough!" What is the point of these macho proclamations after every terrorist attack? Nothing will be done to stop the next attack. Political correctness prohibits us from doing anything that might stop it. Poland doesn't admit Muslims: It has no terrorism. Japan doesn't admit Muslims: It has no terrorism. The United Kingdom and the United States used to have very few Muslims: They used to have almost no terrorism. (One notable exception was chosen as the National Freedom Hero in this year's Puerto Rican parade in New York!) Notwithstanding the lovely Muslim shopkeeper who wouldn't hurt a fly, everyone knows that with every tranche of peace-loving Muslims we bring in, we're also getting some number of stone-cold killers. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair dumped millions of Third World Muslims on Britain to force "multiculturalism" on the country. Now Britons are living with the result. Since the 9/11 attack, every U.S. president has done the same. President Bush admitted Muslim immigrants at a faster pace after 9/11 than we had been doing before 9/11. Whatever the 9/11 attackers intended to accomplish, I bet they didn’t expect that. Now we can't get rid of them. Under the rules of political correctness, Western countries are prohibited from even pausing our breakneck importation of Muslims, much less sending the recent arrivals home. In defense of the poor saps responding to every terrorist attack with flowers, candles and hashtags, these are people who have no ability to do anything else. Western leaders are in full possession of the tools to end Islamic terrorism in their own countries, just as their forebears once ended Nazi Stormtroopers. Unable to summon the backbone to defeat the current enemy, the West is stuck constantly reliving that glorious time when they whipped the Nazis. In almost every Western country -- except the one with an increasingly beleaguered First Amendment -- it's against the law to deny the Holocaust. Are we really worried about a resurgence of Nazism? Isn't Islamic terrorism a little higher on our "immediate problems" list? How about making it illegal to make statements in support of ISIS, al-Qaida, female genital mutilation, Sharia law or any act of terrorism? The country with a First Amendment can't do that -- the most that amendment allows us to do is ban conservative speakers from every college campus in the nation. But If our elected representatives really cared about stopping the next terrorist attack, instead of merely "watching" those on the "watch" list, they'd deport them. To this day, we have a whole office at the Department of Justice dedicated to finding and deporting Nazis even without proof they personally committed crimes against Jews. But we can't manage to deport hearty young Muslims who post love notes to ISIS on their Facebook pages. If the Clinton administration had merely enforced laws on the books against an Afghani immigrant, Mir Seddique Mateen, and excluded him based on his arm-length list of terrorist affiliations, his son Omar wouldn't have been around to slaughter 49 people at an Orlando nightclub last year. If Secretary of State John Kerry, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson or anyone else in our vaunted immigration vetting system had done his job, Pakistani Tashfeen Malik never would have been admitted to this country to commit mass murder in San Bernardino a year after she arrived. Before being warmly welcomed by the U.S., Malik's social media posts were bristling with hatred of America and enthusiasm for jihad. We're already paying a battery of FBI agents to follow every Muslim refugee around the country. When they find out that one of them lists his hobby as "jihad," we need them to stop watching and start deporting. Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, the rest of the useless GOP -- and obviously every Democrat -- have the blood of the next terrorist attack on their hands if they don't make crystal clear that admiring remarks about Islamic terrorism is a deportable act. But they won't do it. That's "not who we are," as Ryan famously said. True, most Muslims are peaceful. Guess what? Most Nazis were peaceful! We didn't knock ourselves out to admit as many of them as we could, screening out only the Nazis convicted of mass murder. Before we were even formally involved in World War II, the FBI was all over the German American Bund. No one worried about upsetting our German neighbors. (Perhaps because they knew these were Germans and wouldn't start bombing things and shooting people.) But today, our official position is: Let's choose love so as not to scare our Muslim neighbors. Isn't that precisely what we want to do? Facing an immobile government, two British men -- by which I mean British men -- were sentenced to PRISON for putting bacon on a mosque in Bristol last year. One died in prison just after Christmas, an ancient religious holiday recently replaced by Ramadan. If we can't look askance at Muslims without committing a hate crime, can't we at least stop admitting ever more "refugees," some percentage of whom are going to be terrorists and 100 percent of whom will consume massive amounts of government resources? No, that's "not who we are." Until any Western leader is willing to reduce the number of Muslims in our midst, could they spare us the big talk? "We surrender" would at least have the virtue of honesty. COPYRIGHT 2017 ANN COULTER
I found your problem: In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias, wherein persons of low ability suffer from illusory superiority when they mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority derives from the metacognitive inability of low-ability persons to recognize their own ineptitude. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence. If even Trump understands that he needs to make America great again, the situation has to be dramatical over there. You can only try to make something great if it isn't. So what Trump says is that the actual situation is not "great". Just do like the poor Russian do: be very patriotic and be proud that you are the greatest nation on earth (at least you think you are). That's what governments try to stimulate to keep the simple poor and ignorant. Don't worry I will never come to the US. I always choose for better options in life not options that deteriorate the quality of my life. And the chances to be killed by muslim terrorists is at this moments smaller than the chances to get killed in the US by a gun. And don't forget that "the leading country in the world" was victim of the biggest muslim terrorist attack in history, so a bit of modesty instead of arrogance would be in place. PS: To be clear: I hate, like most people, muslims terrorists. In fact I hate all terrorists.
The US has had 28 years of extremely poor leadership. We had four years of the idiot Bush Sr, we had 8 years of the corrupt and disgraced Clinton, we had another 8 years of the doltish Bush Jr, and we have finally emerged from the 8 years of Obama-hell. So yes, there is work to be done. Just cleaning up the mess Obama left will take years, maybe decades. At least we have stopped digging a deeper hole. Climbing out will be a process, one that the democrats and many republicans seem determined to obstruct. Kidding aside, you probably would be at higher risk from street crime in many US cities than terrorism in Europe. That street crime would almost certainly be committed by a black or Hispanic. Avoid them and you would be pretty safe, safer than in most euro cities. Rates for other crimes, eg home invasions, are far lower in the US than, for example, the UK. Reason? A lot of homeowners have firearms and are not hesitant to use them in the event of an intrusion.
