Hot potato punting

After hand-wringing and finger-pointing comes hand-washing:

Denmark said on Friday that Sweden will have to live with the ‘consequences’ of its immigration policies after the Swedish migration minister called on his Danish counterparts to “take responsibility” by implementing border controls.

It would obviously be easier and more convenient for the Swedes if Denmark implemented border contro….wait, might as well let Denmark’s ruling Venstre party explain it:

“Of course it would be easier and more convenient for the Swedes if we implemented border control in Denmark so all of those tens of thousands of people that Sweden has attracted through its immigration polices would instead remain in Denmark,” party spokesman Jakob Ellemann-Jensen told Danish news agency Ritzau.

Or maybe Big Daddy should take care of the problem somewhere off in the distance several countries away:

French PM urges EU to ‘take responsibility’ for borders

Someone’s supposed to control borders somewhere, apparently.
What a thought.

    Gold Hat: “Borders? We ain’t got no borders. We don’t need no borders. I don’t have to show you any stinkin’ borders!”

  2. The inevitable fallout from years of tripping over themselves to be the most holy. Didn’t think they’d be that unthankful. No further comments…gotta go to the caliphate implementation meeting. If I’m late again, they’ll have my head.

  3. Until Schengen is abrogated, the remarks from the PM of France are moronic. Collective responsibility you know.

  4. It will be entertaining to watch the EU collapse as the citizens of each country apply pressure on their gutless politicians. They have been asleep, lulled by their fantasy. They are in for a very rude awakening. And North Americans have bailed the morons out enough times in the last 100 years. Maybe it’s time for them to solve their REAL issues by themselves…..and “climate change” ain’t one of them.
    Glad I visited Europe when it made some sense.

  5. pay the price for opening your borders to so called refugees with lots of ISIS goos amounst them and the politicians acting like total baffoons

  6. True…but a million people will gather with lighted candles, but none will show up in angry protest against open borders and insane immigration policies.
    It is no different in Canada. When you add up the Liberal, NDP and Green votes, 63 percent of the population is okay with unscreened refugees.

  7. Since we are about to start a major airlift of Syrians to Canada I don’t really get much satisfaction from seeing Europe ever so slowly realize they colossal mistake they’ve been making all these years.
    They are pretty much committed to being transformed into Eurabia now and it appears Canada is happy to follow them.

  8. This whole issue is a non issue, a farce. it has already been clearly shown that isis (and presumably other ‘organizations’) recruit heavily from europe. So why is everyone acting like there is a sudden need to secure borders to prevent terror attacks. One or two of the paris assholes have been shown to be recent refugees, what about the rest of them? where were they from? How will tightening the borders now prevent more of them?

  9. Actually the “No Borders” meme is the heart of the Progressive self delusion.
    Human Nature they do not comprehend.
    The essence of nations states and communities is that like minds can work together, hence we agree to a common set of rules, applied within a defined area.
    Because not all people are the same.
    Some will want different structures and are welcome to try them within their own area.
    Now where communities come to war, is where the ideologies intersect.
    This is our history.
    Hence the function of a federal government is to protect the nation.
    Pretty stupid to create the land of milk and honey for your citizens, if bandits then move in and displace them.No?
    Government is a morality play. We pay these actors to put on a good show, to convince the fools and bandits that civilization works and that we are not easily plundered.
    So in my opinion, government is in breach of contract.
    When your government encourages the plunder, pillage and destruction that fools and bandits inflict,prosecutes the property owner for defending their own and opens the borders to the lazy, inept and parasitic..
    Time for some new actors.
    Tar and feathers was once part of the act, banishment another, direct verbal abuse otherwise known as free speech was the number one tool used encourage these actors to smarten up.
    Their solution?
    Not examine their delusions of competency.
    Oh no, make free speech a hate crime.
    Go to any canadian government office.. the notice you will see first, prominently posted…. cautionary advice as to how you may not address your employees.

  10. Maybe internment camps weren’t such a bad idea…we can always apologize for them later đŸ™‚

  11. “How will tightening the borders now prevent more of them?”
    Farmer John has a big henhouse full of hens. He found out that there were several weasels in his henhouse killing his hens. Farmer John should:
    (a) kill the weasels in his henhouse
    (b) make sure no more weasels can get into his henhouse
    (c) a and b

    move to a rural area.
    i didn’t want to dump my 5 year-old into toronto’s public school meat grinder, so i found him a school where he wasn’t the only kid who couldn’t understand jamaican patois or speak arabic.
    anyway, we moved out to 60 acres in the country in 2001. a couple days later the world trade center got slammed. i was feelin’ pretty prescient that week.

  13. I can see it now, future governments having to make apologies and pay reparations to Muslims because their culture was not respected enough in the public school system. Little Mohammed grew up to like Ribs, Fries and beer and he refuses to pray 5 times a day and its all the public school systems fault.

  14. One line of thinking is that all human behavior can be explained as an attempt to reduce physiological stress and the most common source of stress is a sense of not being secure. Thus, humans band together since a single human is vulnerable to many large predators and other threats, but a group of humans of sufficient size and properly organized need fear no creature except other humans. Family groups are the easiest and most basic way to band together and explains tribalism. The rise of the nation state weakened and even largely eliminated the need for family members to look to one another for security, but only so long as the rule of law is maintained. Without the rule of law, the nation state does not provide security to its citizens and individuals must look to family or close friends to provide collective security. Perhaps this is the origin of the strong familial bonds one sees in Latin America. Corrupt governments don’t provide security, so individuals must revert back to relying on family. When widespread, this becomes a defining cultural trait.
    So what will be the consequences of western political classes refusing to provide security to their populations by adopting de facto open border policies and maintaining legal and political double standards which preference non-citizens over citizens? Civil unrest? A resurgence of nationalism? A resurgence of ethnic loyalty? What will happen to political pluralism and ethnic minority representation? How long before the EU falls apart and politicians try to redirect domestic political turmoil to external bugbears? I fear a half century of relatively peaceful co-existence amongst the nations of old Europe is coming to an end.

  15. It’s funny how time can change a society’s perceptions of individuals. Villains become new national heroes and former national heroes become reviled.
    Anders Breivik’s murderous attacks shocked Norway and the-powers-that-be did their best to recast Breivik’s actions, which were quintessentially political, as nothing more than the violent expressions of a diseased mind.
    I wonder if Breivik, decades from now, will be viewed as a Scandinavian hero who tried to wake Norwegian society up to the internal threat of a misbehaving political class.
    I am amused by this quote in Wikipedia’s article on Breivik:
    Pepe Egger of the think-tank Exclusive Analysis says “the bizarre thing is that his ideas, as Islamophobic as they are, are almost mainstream in many European countries.”
    The gaps between Western pols and their populations just seem to be getting wider and wider.

  16. interesting days indeed.
    If enough people agree that “progressive Society” is self doomed.
    Then we stop being progressive.
    Funny how conservatives are mostly, also competent tool users.
    The election day results speak volumes.
    What does Western Canada have in common with Eastern Canada?
    Do we share the same ethos?
    I now identify our Kleptocrats as the true enemy of my country.
    That thing the Greys call public interest, if it furthers these parasites interests they call it good.
    Taxpayers interests, property rights, civil liberty and protection from freeloaders .. does not show on the radar.
    Was not discussed during last election.
    When all of our wannabe leaders see theft by government as normal.
    KLEPTOCRACY RULES.

  17. There used to be a program called TRUTH or CONSIQUINCES looks like its being played out in sweeden
