[TraditionalRight] Donald Trump's recent proposals to register Islamics living in the United States and to bar more Islamics from entering this country until we can determine how to separate the dangerous ones from those who are not dangerous show that he is the only candidate who understands what a Fourth Generation war will be like. The hysterical denunciations from all other candidates except Senator Cruz demonstrate they don't get it. While that alone may not be enough to indicate Trump would be a good president, it strongly suggests none of his opponents are fit to hold the office. Whether they like it or not, or understand it or not, Fourth Generation war is what they and this country are facing.
In 4GW, primary loyalties shift away from the state--someone's native state or one to whch they have immigrated--to a wide variety of other things, including religions, races and ethnic groups, and cultures. Immigrants who do not acculturate are especially likely to become Fourth Generation threats, because they probably will not give their loyalty to a state whose culture is not their own (and to which they may be hostile).
Measures such as those Trump proposed vis-a-vis Islamics will be routine in a world of Fourth Generation war. Any state that wants to survive will have to take them, and stronger actions as well. If a population becomes a base for 4GW on a state's soil, that state may have to expel them. There may be no other way for the state to perform its primary duty, maintaining order. Any state that cannot maintain order--safety of persons and property--will disappear.
Cultural Marxism forbids us to acknowlege any of these realities, which is why culturally Marxist politicians (Democrats actually believe the stuff; Republicans are too cowardly to challenge it) and institutions such as the New York Times editorial page have frothed at the mouth over Mr. Trump's entirely reasonable proposals. Cultural Marxism says all cultures are wonderful, peaceful, "vibrant" sources of enlightenment, except our own culture, Western culture, which is evil and oppressive.

Mr. Trump’s proposals do not indicate he has studied 4GW. I would guess he has probably never heard the term. His reactions are instinctive. But they are sound. They reflect reality.
This is something I've been saying to anyone who will listen. Trump has good instincts. He has strong survival instincts. He doesn't need a fancy education or years of experience in the Senate. He has business experience and he is streetwise. That's what we need.

And that is part of the reason why they hate him so much. He might actually address and solve the problem instead of simply talking about it or exploiting it for his own gain.

Trump has already done quite a bit to attack the stupidity of Cultural Marxism. He senses quite a bit of backing. Most likely (and unfortunately) because Washington has chosen to stick its collective head in the sand, these incidents will continue; these incidents will only increase his support.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
