'Swedish Prime Minister Says Integration Has Failed After Migrant Riots'

You import the third world, you become the third world. It's really that simple.

That simple, and apparently far too complicated for lefty politicians with an agenda.

Bird Dog: Sweden is the most dangerous country in Europe.

Country, Homicide rate per 100,000

France, 1.2
Germany, 0.8
Lithuania, 3.7
Sweden, 1.2
Russia, 7.3
United Kingdom, 1.2
{United States, 6.3}

Sweden's homicide rate is higher than some, but lower than the European average.

Homicide is a subset of dangerous, not equal to it.

Eeyore: Homicide is a subset of dangerous, not equal to it.

True, but homicide is a good proxy as collection of violent crime statistics vary considerably from country to country.

Alito's 'Draft' opinion is a disaster, according to: the fellow in the next desk over at Reason, a history professor, a think-tank editor, and then halfway down is the buried lede: "Democratic politicians are angry".

And then the pinnacle of journalism-ing over at Reason: "But this obsession with process and punishment over the substance of the opinion is pretty weird." This comment, regarding a wrongfully-leaked opinion of the Supreme Court, speaking on codified law of the land. Imagine, being formal about such a thing!

I gave up reading Reason magazine and libertarian reasoning, back in the 90’s, partially do to articles like that which is linked this morning. There is very little dissection of legal reasoning, and much emoting emotionalism. The gals from the View are angry. Senator Warren is angry. Kamala Harris is angry. Wow. The left is angry. Those are keen reasons for Justice Alito’s draft opinion being a disaster.

After two years of the government forcing a mask on me, telling me that an experimental vaccine will be required for full participation in society, the people at Reason want to talk about bodily integrity? That is some crackerjack reasoning, right there. What about the bodily integrity of the unborn baby?

Funny, it being published in a magazine called 'Reason'. They shoulda put it in 'Emo'.

#3.1 Aggie on 2022-05-06 11:14 (Reply)

Your mistake is in reading the articles. Just skip straight to the comment section. It's hilarious - nobody hates the Reason[/l] writers more than the [i]Reason readers.

Justice Alito's reference to "history and tradition" is a reference to the Judeo- Christian ethos that played such a part in making America "a city on a hill", a shining model of human dignity and freedom's aspiration to touch the stars.
The writer from "Reason" is a sterile voice of the godless technocratic tyranny that our globalist alleged "betters" want to impose on us.
At the risk of offending the screeching harridans of the left; Jeremiah 6:16 states:
16 Thus says the Lord:

“Stand in the ways and see,
And ask for the old paths, where the good way is,
And walk in it;
Then you will find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
Give me that old time religion...

‘Equitable Speech’ = "duckspeak"

I haven't been keeping up with what's going on in Sweden lately - is it those dang Amish refusing to assimilate again just like they do everywhere?

And don't forget rioting!

The CDC, NIH, and FDA are government institutions with unelected employees that are NEVER accountable for their screwups. If they can't hide information, they ignore information. They and Pfizer wanted to hide everything for 70 years. As more and more comes out that becomes more understandable.
It's like Russia, Russia, Russia that is slowly being uncovered.
And then there is the latest thing (TLT), Ukraine.

I haven't seen anyone actually argue the legal soundness of Roe. Probably because it's pretty obvious that the case stands on dubious legal reasoning.

If you want to preserve abortion as a constitutional right then you need to make a coherent legal argument. "This law has been around for 43 years" isn't a coherent legal argument.

The "Magna Carta" argument ignores centuries of anti-abortion laws that have been enforced throughout history.

egd: I haven't seen anyone actually argue the legal soundness of Roe.

QUOTE:

Roe v. Wade: This right of privacy, whether it be founded in the Fourteenth Amendment's concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action, as we feel it is, or, as the District Court determined, in the Ninth Amendment's reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.

egd: The "Magna Carta" argument ignores centuries of anti-abortion laws that have been enforced throughout history.

To be fair, King John reneged on the Magna Carta almost as soon as it was signed. In any case, there was little statutory law concerning abortion in the states at the founding. Abortion was covered by common law, which outlawed abortion after quickening (~16-20 weeks), but enforcement was happenstance. Throughout the nineteenth century, apothecaries openly advertised abortifacients to restore menses.

Yes. This is poor legal reasoning.

Even Ginsburg recognized that the opinion was garbage.

egd: This is poor legal reasoning.

That wasn't your claim.

As for the legal reasoning, do you not think that the Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause limits the power of government to intrude on the private lives of Americans, the same argument used in Griswold and Lawrence? Should they also be overturned?

Reason magazine continues to demonstrate the level of intelligence, reason and logic in direction relation to the number of teeth in evidence at a meth house.
