Allowing One Group to Create Laws While Ignoring All Others
Reader comment on item: The 751 No-Go Zones of France

The French have made the mistake of not enforcing the laws of France, all over their own nation.

France has made the first mistake in allowing their nation to be broken up into segments. One can only hope Americans wake up & stop any attempts to create legal zones outside our national constitution that holds this republic together. The international set hates our constitution. That document blocks their attempts to destroy us from within. Now all we need to do is make sure it stays that way, so we survive & can always remember the France that was after they break apart.

There are proposals for similar legal enclave circumstances in America, so a "Native Hawaiian" government can be established. The effect would be to begin to create legal enclaves throughout America that cater to special rules or laws, based on supposed religious and political differences.

The reason this is wrong is as follows. "E Pluribus Unum." Out of many, one. This nation was founded under the ideal that we would all be from different backgrounds, but that here, we would become one under the constitution. By allowing separate legal enclaves, all we do is begin the chopping up of this nation. We made it work for the native Indians, although I sometimes feel by doing so all we did was condemn them to permanent underclass status. They may have been better off by integrating, as all others have.

For some, the breakup of America would be a good thing. After all, to them, America, her effect, her influence, and her methods, are all wrong & must be destroyed. You see, we aren't good collectivist socialists that allow the government to manage all in our lives everyday. Perhaps these America haters will get their way on some issues, before the people finally stand up and say, No! And, so long as a complicit media does nothing to challenge such idiotic moves & even enables extremists to push these attempts at destroying America, the public will remain complacent and unaware.

Good little socialists pushing for redistribution of wealth, rarely admit what they really mean is the redistribution of all of "America's wealth." And especially when that means, they & they alone obtain the wealth & get to determine who, when, how much, and even if, any of that wealth is to be distributed. Just look at the abysmal record of the United Nations in handling money. That alone should put an end to such drivel.

Eventually, the people will realize they have been screwed by people who would gladly lord over them & take the fruits of the labors of those who embraced the American experience & made it work. Those are the people who claim their intellect makes them superior to others & therefore it is they & they alone who should make the rules & enforce them. Bunk! Intellect used poorly makes one simply greedy & boorish. Elitists of the so-called intelligencia fit this bill to the T. Yet many, who have no sheepskin, show more common sense and more intellect than them, in every day life let alone in worldly matters!

Intellect used to subjugate others under false premises of superior abilities, make them despots in the making. Rich elitists who push their intellect with their, in many cases, ill begotten gains, have already made it to despotic & especially boorish. Their greed drove them to exploit others for their own personal gain & now they want to use their gains to lord over the masses.

Whether religion, political preference, or color, once one is deemed superior to all others, subjugation of all others will be the result. If people cannot accept the law of the land they have settled in, then they should leave rather than destroy that nation in pursuit of their desires to lord over others. If those born in France or America or any other nation who feel their nation is so wrong, they too should look for a place that matches their desires rather than attempting to steal it from others.

France may try to push out such efforts. It will be a hard road. One has suggested they will deport undesirables (read Muslims according to one writer), so they can regain control of France. I really wish them luck on that one. Once such efforts are undertaken, Muslims worldwide will go on the rampage & start to terrorize anything & everything French, plus any who may support or agree with them.

But then, worldwide conflict is coming under any circumstances, isn't it? Demands to make the world abide by one religious faith that is also used as the political, social, and legal basis of society, are destined to clash with all others who want freedom & equality for all. Even if those nations already do a poor job of it, at least they are trying as opposed to those who demand only their way!

France will learn that you cannot appease bullies & those seeking enclaves of their special circumstances are real bullies who will only be satisfied when they can take everyone's lunch money!
