Why the Refugees of Syria and other Middle East Nations are NOT welcome in The United States | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Publisher's note: Rod Eccles is the host of the nationally syndicated radio show, The Rod Eccles Show, and we are most happy to have Rod as an extended member of our growing BCN family.

    The Western World is in turmoil due to the Middle East wars. Millions of citizens of various Middle Eastern nations are being displaced and are fleeing the region for the possibility of a better life. These folks are risking life and limb by walking, boating, biking, or driving thousands of miles in order to get to somewhere they think will allow them a better and safer life. Now, I want people to understand where these people are going and where they are not going.

    Notice, these "refugees" are not heading to other nations with similar religious beliefs such as Pakistan. They are not heading to nations that are openly hostile to their religious beliefs such as India and China.

    However, they are heading to nations that seem to want them to come in such as Germany, France, United Kingdom, and the United States. But are they really welcome? The governments of these and other Western nations seem to make one believe that their citizens are welcoming these refugees with open arms.

    But recent protests in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Serbia, and in other places show that the citizens of these nations have had enough of being invaded by a people who have nothing in common with the native population. They are sick and tired of being targets of terrorism in their own cities and towns. They are tired of their religions and laws being attacked by a group of people bent on total world domination.

    They are tired of supporting these people as they flood their borders and they are sick and tired of allowing young men of the military fighting age be given free rein on their local streets. Let's face it if you are young, healthy, and able, why is it you are not willing to fight for your own way of life and your own version of freedom?

    The citizens of the Western nations understand that these men are not refugees, but many are indeed insurgents sent by terrorist groups with one thing on their minds and that is the death and destruction of Western Nations and a complete takeover of their governments, laws, and religions.

    This is something that these citizens have come to realize yet their own governments do not care to listen to the people they say they represent. The United States is no different than those European nations because our government officials continue to accept these refugees from the Middle East despite the outcry from the America people.

    Instead, the elected officials of The United States will call the American people racists and bigots for daring to object to the very notion of allowing these so called refugees in our nation. However, we have seen an increase in terrorist activity within our nation. But some, especially the left, only wish to blame those on the right because we want to cling to our Bibles and our Guns. Frankly, it is the Bibles and Guns that will be called upon to save this nation and indeed the entire Western World.

    Make no mistake, the citizens of Europe realize they are in big trouble but in many of those nations, the citizens are either banned from owning a firearm or are severely restricted. In other words, the people of Europe, because of the government that they elected, have left them defenseless and helpless to the onslaught.

    Here in the United States, we have a call from the left to make us equally defenseless and helpless but the American people realize that this plan is a disaster in the making. Yet we still continue to vote for these idiots to represent us.

    Make no mistake about it, if we keep electing the kinds of people who act more and more like anti-American activists than pro-American defenders, we also shall end up defenseless, helpless, and more Americans will die in our streets.

    Now I ask you, is that the society you want? Do you want to be like Europe or do you wish to remain free, safe, and exceptional?

    I choose the latter.

Free - Safe - Exceptional are the 3 things Mr. Eccles claims are unique to America. None of these except the last have ever been completely accurate in my reading of US History. We started a new nation where democracy was the concept, but a Republic was the reality. Ask the Native Americans about how free they were when the White settlers took their lands and made them leave to far less lovely and usable places.

"Exceptional" is the most accurate word to describe America. Our founders were tired of being told what to do with their religion and money. England wanted our tea tax and others for their coffers. When the productivity of the Colonies outpaced the dependence on Britain for protection and support, we had had enough of that!

I think the problem is fear of people we do not know. Few have studied sociology enough to know about their unique social ways. Almost none have a clue about their Muslim religion. Those same people claim to know about their Christian religion and forget it encourages the welcoming of strangers and care of the poor and outcast. We certainly have become arrogant in our wealth and "success" of recent years.

Are we aware of how much our greed and aggression in foreign lands has displaced people who now need a place to go? They backed the American presence and now they fear for their lives once we left them high and dry. Part of the displacement of people is a direct result of our own actions and now we need to take responsibility to give a place of refuge to people seeking their dignity and freedom---otherwise we simply lie to them and make empty promises.

Almost all the negative things I hear about "foreigners" pertains to a lack of knowledge and lack of caring to welcome strangers to our new country. Our ancestors were all immigrants at one time in any family history.

I came to Beaufort County from Nash County. There are some immigrants with a Muslim heritage now in Rocky Mount. They are interesting to talk with. They run businesses and have become better citizens than the drug gangs running the streets of Nash/Edgecombe.

I grew up in Atlanta and it is hardly recognizable in many places. English signs are not present on some outlying places, but that is OK. I have not learned their language either and it is an opportunity to grow and develop my world of southern white drawl. I look on the changes as an opportunity rather than a risk.

Most of us sprouted our wings at one time or another. Some felt too threatened and quickly wanted to build a simple nest in the corner of their life for security only. Those who were willing to meet new people and dared to start a new business had an opportunity to succeed in America.

Why---really---would we deny that same opportunity we had to those who are wanting to try it for themselves?

I see some new types of restaurants serving native dishes which smell good and have native music coming out the windows or over the wall of the outdoor area. I love Rick Steves' travel shows and have done some travel myself. The stupid and narrow ones who paid big bucks are the ones who want to find a Kentucky Fried in the middle of Paris, France or Munich, Germany.

It won't really kill us to be open to something new. The typical immigrant is trying to adapt to their new home over being some nutty evangelist insisting we do things their way since they are now here.

When you have actually visited and talked with a Muslim who now lives here, you have some basis for your theory of non-immigration. Otherwise, it is nothing but fear and lack of real knowledge about welcoming strangers to our homes . . .
