Opus 2024-431: Results May Vary

One of the memes that I enjoy and I found myself sharing with people recently is the one that goes along the lines of “Welcome to Texas.  Remember you are a refugee, not a missionary.”

I got to thinking about this in terms of missionaries going out to spread the gospel.  At one time most were from England and the United States.  It made me think of a phrase which I believe is from Kipling, about the White Man’s Burden.  They didn’t just go to spread the gospel, they also went to spread a culture.

Many different strong cultures have been bent on conquest and then try to implant their system on the conquered people.  It doesn’t always work out the way you expect.  I think of China having the Mongol invade, take over and set up their own dynasties.  I’m sure they thought they were going to reform the Chinese.  What happened in time was the Mongol became Chinese.  Those outside could not tell the difference.

We see a similar conquest going on as the Muslim masses overwhelm Europe.  Certain groups are very mild and reasonable when they are weak.  When they get the power, look out.  We see this with the Muslims.  There have been times when the Catholic church was that way.  The United States is a current target of the cultural jihad of Mecca.  In Texas alert people have been fighting the implementation of sharia law for years.  The word is the final bill that was passed had been watered down significantly but at least something was passed.  I understand there are cities where the call to prayer is broadcast five times a day.  The conquest is in progress.

On a more local level the liberals fleeing places like California seem to think that the reason socialism didn’t work was because they were running out of other people’s money.  If you live in one of the free states beware of liberals coming to share your resources.
