Gettin’ a Little Political

Just a little.  Don’t want to alienate too many folks, so I generally keep most of my polical views to myself.  Or at least not to the written word on my blog because, well, because that’s just how I want to do it.  It’s my party and all.

So anyways, I was just reading this about the Bhutanese refugees.  Seems the country of Bhutan effectively “cleansed” its country of ethnic Nepalis in the early ’90s by forcing those folks into exhile.  Now, of the over 100,000 estimated refugees living in Nepal, the United States, the great and generous country that it is, has offered to take in 60,000 of these refugees.  Meanwhile, about 10,000 refugees are each going to Australia, Canada, Norway, Netherlands, New Zealand, and Denmark.   So for all of you anti-American idiots out there, you can all SHOVE IT because look how many people we are offering to take in with open arms!  Considering how large Canada is, look how comparatively few they’re offering to resettle.  Look at all the other neighboring countries in Southeast Asia or Europe or the Mid-East that haven’t offered homes for these people that were persecuted against by their own government.   Many of these people had been born and raised in Bhutan; their families there for several generations, yet their own government put strict sanctions on them about their culture and kicked them out.

To all of you Bhutanese refugees, I hope that you find our country welcoming, with plenty of food on the table, and opportunities for you and your children.
