Emmanuel Macron wins French presidential election in landslide

[SuperLuigi]

Good point. I would also add that I have worked with several Muslims in my IT career. Most are here not to establish a “caliphate”. Most are year because life in their countries of origin (the ones I knew were mostly of Algerian, Syrian and Lebanese origin) was miserable and they just wanted to escape the poverty and misery. None of them ever tried to convert me. Not even close, but I did have some good dialogues with one Muslim in particular. You know what, she just wanted to raise her family and quietly practice her faith, like I do. They all showed more respect to my faith and prayer life than any of the secular Canadians I worked with. The one I dialogued was a colleague in the same department, and she would quietly whisper “I’ll come back later, I see you are praying” when she would come to see me on a tech issue and I had my breviary open.

I also know an Egyptian immigrant. He is a family doctor, one of my wife’s colleagues.

He is not Muslim. He is a Coptic Christian. And he’s married to another immigrant, a Chilean Catholic.

The fact that people “know” Muslims or migrants does not change the facts as to what is happening.

Anecdotal evidence is not a good foundation for public policy.

 

[SuperLuigi]

I can’t think of a scarier solution then proposing that the answer to fewer Christians in your country is more Muslims.

It’s just part of the overall lazy answer of the left to turn to government to solve the demographic problem.

Some of these folks really believe the migrants from the 2nd and 3rd World are going to carry them on their back for the rest of their lives and reward them by exempting them from being racist and help them in their not-so-secret quest to destroy conservative Christianity.

It’s astonishing how some don’t hear the lesson of history rolling off their tongues as they make such pronouncements.

Why is refugees in quotation marks?

If they are refugees then I am an American Indian. A large group of men of military age should be fighting for their country, not flooding mine.

Actually, what I mean is there’s so much that’s logically wrong with those comparisons that it’s impossible to know where to begin. That’s kind of why I used that language.

No, it just means you want to call them wrong without having to explain why.

Considering our faith is at odds with capital punishment, I’m not entirely sure how one can claim to be Catholic and be in favor of murdering immigrants, even if they are illegal, with land mines.

Put up a sign that says that mines might be in the area. If they walk over one, their deaths are now suicide.

Racialism is also contrary to our faith. We’re all human beings.

Now where did I say that members of other races were not human beings?

“White” is not a race. It’s a melanin phenotype.

Pray tell what the difference is?

I’ve never heard anyone say that. Even if someone did, are you saying that you think it’s okay?

Try putting down the white nationalist propaganda and stepping out into the community to actually meet some refugees.

It’s fun when you claim to know my motives while I don’t.

 

[SuperLuigi]

The root cause of problems, real or perceived, with immigrants is not a laissez-faire immigration policy.

The root cause is that the Western world has sowed the seeds of its own demise by being unwilling to reproduce beyond the replacement rate. For the first time ever in Canada we have more pensioners than children. And the root cause of that, is the de-Christianisation of Western society.

The Catholic sexual ethic isn’t just good morals. It is prophetic, in particular Humae Vitae. Blessed Paul VI was clearly a prophet on this issue.

Now, the only way we can keep our societies functioning is with immigration. We’re crashing our societies just so we can enjoy sex without responsibilities.

Won’t happen. These same value structures are anti-assimilation. If people want that, they are going to have to cut the benefits for illegal immigrants, secure the borders and DEMAND that new arrivals either assimilate or get out.

This is now trending on here:

“There’s so much wrong with what you say, oi! I don’t even know where to begin!”

People keep saying that in which case they need to exit the debate because one cannot possibly have a meaningful conversation if the other party cannot even find his/her starting point.

That’s the ticket! Use anecdotal evidence!

When we get some actual refugees instead of the first wave of an invasion, sure.

It’s fun when you claim to know my motives while I don’t.

That sounds like your problem then and not mine. I just call it as I see it.

Interestingly enough, I don’t know how someone can call the Muslims going to Europe refugees and not give white settlers the same status.

Because they were straight white Christian males and therefore obviously the source of all evil, privilege, and oppression.

Since you’re not using any acceptable definition of refugee, perhaps you can provide your own personal definition.

I didn’t say it was a problem. I said it’s fun. As in humorous or amusing.

I use the common dictionary definition. A globalist-orchestrated mass movement of people who refuse to assimilate and attack the native population does not meet that definition.

You just admitted to ignorance of your own motivations. That is definitely a problem. Know yourself. Know the enemy. This is basic Sun Tzu.

Making a glib comment about Trump getting re-elected by having blue voters killed off. That’s disgusting.

Beyond disgusting.

France died in 1793 this is nothing new just putting a band-aid on a huge wound, he’ll continue the same godless, liberal, globalist agenda that got France into this position and will continue to harm her until the pain is so great that the people finally return to their senses and make France worthy of the title Eldest daughter of the Church. But until then enjoy your chaotic democracies and societal collapse in the western world…

It’s getting hard to see through the fog of paranoia around here.

Now why would I want to waste my time knowing myself when you know me far better?

Isn’t it possible the problem isn’t the people saying this but the people to whom they are saying it?

The so-called “Enlightenment” has really only been an “endarkenment”. It has only compounded our miseries.

non-American Conservative-approved politicians like Obama, Bill Clinton and so on.

I’m not American but I am a Burkean conservative who doesn’t worship at the altars of Reagan or Thatcher and I really dislike Obama and Clinton because of their anti-conservative policies. Don’t even get me started on their constructed phony images that helped them win elections. I find most ‘conservatives’ aren’t really conservative to be frank. In America, they’re libertarians and neo’conservatives’ and elsewhere in the West, centre-left.

Tell that to the German women who were raped by the “refugees”.

Now why would I want to waste my time knowing myself when you know me far better?

Like I said before, basic Sun Tzu.
