If the free citizens are not the gatekeeper, then no one is. The Tom Palmer article states that many people are hostile to liberty. Having no gatekeeper and letting millions in who are hostile to liberty is no defence to liberty.Richard Wiighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014802233741921087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-54439755934745412892016-12-09T00:06:45.495+13:002016-12-09T00:06:45.495+13:00Aristotle's dad was the personal doctor to a k...Aristotle's dad was the personal doctor to a king making him educated and rich. He was obviously highly intelligent. Furthermore as a Macedonian he was not culturally dissimilar to an Athenian. So "refugee" or not any country with a sane immigration policy would welcome an Aristotle doppelgänger.<br /><br />I'm not sure what point you are trying to make about averages. Are you denying that if you took 10,000 immigrants (ie. a statistically large sample size) from a country you won't end up with a group that, on average, reflects the population of that country? And if that country happens to be poor, poorly educated, rife with bad ideas, and emotionally broken people that the immigrants you take won't reflect that? <br /><br />Please take as many Aristotle's or near Aristotle's as you like. I care not where they come from or what hue their skin. <br /><br />But until you are successful in dismantling the welfare state I would prefer not to be on the hook for an unlimited number of "average people" from the kind of states which happen to produce a lot of refugees.<br /><br />JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283576774995469509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-44377252377265563902016-12-08T21:30:21.963+13:002016-12-08T21:30:21.963+13:00Yes it is easy to distinguish the Invaders from We...Yes it is easy to distinguish the Invaders from Westerners.<br />The invaders rape, kill and are barbarians.<br />The gate keepers will be about 200,000 New Zealand voters. <br />I will be at the back there somewhere. <br />You might see your friends General Brash and Lindsay at the front. <br />John Key could do one thing well, smell the wind change.paul scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675247055484136242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-46787835793509935422016-12-08T14:18:43.702+13:002016-12-08T14:18:43.702+13:00I'm sure he'd be very pleased to hear you&...I'm sure he'd be very pleased to hear you'd let him in.<br /><br />But may I ask who died and made you gatekeeeper?Peter Cresswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-23459341393244712032016-12-08T14:17:43.723+13:002016-12-08T14:17:43.723+13:00Really?
