        The common denominator to terrorism seems to be Islam.
        The Muslim who was on recently charged on Parliament Hill with a Meatcleaver hasn't received too much media attention.

        "Toronto man Yasin Mohamed Ali, 56, was arrested outside the Centre Block of Parliament in Ottawa and appeared in court Wednesday."

          Sorry but Brad Wall doesn't know what he's talking about.
          Canada gets to Pick who we Let in

          Big difference from Europe where they WALK to your front door (Europe has NO individual borders with their union)

          nenshi is right, in 7 hours a French national can be here, it's not the refugees we have to be worried about

                Subject: FW: USA Obituary - Interesting.......m








                :



                In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a Dictatorship."

                "The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

                From bondage to spiritual faith;
                From spiritual faith to great courage;
                From courage to liberty;
                From liberty to abundance;
                From abundance to complacency;
                From complacency to apathy;
                From apathy to dependence;
                From dependence back into bondage."
                The Obituary follows:

                "United States of America", Born 1776, Died 2016
                It doesn't hurt to read this several times.
                Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election:

                Number of States won by: Obama: 19 Romney: 29
                Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 Romney: 2,427,000
                Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million Romney: 143 million
                Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 Romney: 2.1

                Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Romney won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country. Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low Income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare."

                Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of Democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

                If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal’s - and they subsequently vote - then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. (CANADA IS NOT FAR BEHIND!!!)

                    Mustard - the Boston bombers were Iraq refugee children to the U.S. from after the first Iraq war. Just sayin... be wary is all.

                      Mustardman, it's not French nationals the refugees are fleeing from but their own countrymen. So why do their leaders/governments not stop the terrorism, which is what our country would do. And the people of our country would support the government in such an endeavour. Civil wars do occur, usually over territory.
                      But terrorism such as this should be stopped by the people, unless the majority or government favours it.
                      It looks more and more like a planned/force emigration.
