(6,151 posts)We're tearing down our own house, too, when we invite them over with their demolition balls. I understand the natural Democrat or progressive desire for tolerance and inclusion - having lived happily in various widely differing cultures myself - but when I see a wrecking crew on the way with heavy equipment, I'm not dumb enough to throw the door open wide and yell, "Come on in, boys! Make yourselves to home!" Or watch them go about their work while I frown and wag my finger at them. When you admit to yourself the hard truth that other Americans can actually be domestic terrorists, it's easier to kick them to the curb. I don't mean physically harm them, despite my fondness for kneecap symbolism, but nullify their ability to destroy. What sane person or group clasps a known, self-declared rattlesnake to its bosom and then yelps in surprise when the bite starts to spread deadly poison?
