Minnesota: State Senators want to spend $18,000,000 of taxpayer money on Somali community

JIHAD WATCH:

Here are two salient sections from SF 1722, as introduced into the Minnesota State Senate. The chief author of this bill is Republican State Senator Jim Abeler; its other authors are Republican State Senators Jerry Relph and Carla J. Nelson, along with Democrat/Farmer-Labor State Senators Steve A. Cwodzinski and Kari Dziedzic.

Even though Abeler is listed as Chief Author of the bill, its likely driver is Nelson, who has a long record of pandering to the Somali community.

This bill is based on the false assumption that poverty causes terrorism, and thus showering money upon communities that produce many jihadis (and Minnesota’s Somali community is certainly in that category) will alleviate the problem. The idea that poverty and ignorance cause terrorism has led the U.S. to shower billions on Muslim countries, hoping to win hearts and minds and alleviate what mainstream analysts doggedly believe are the root causes of terrorism. But it has been known for years that poverty doesn’t really cause terrorism at all. The Economist reported in 2010: “Social scientists have collected a large amount of data on the socioeconomic background of terrorists. According to a 2008 survey of such studies by Alan Krueger of Princeton University, they have found little evidence that the typical terrorist is unusually poor or badly schooled.”

In the same vein, CNS News noted in September 2013: “According to a Rand Corporation report on counterterrorism, prepared for the Office of the Secretary of Defense in 2009, ‘Terrorists are not particularly impoverished, uneducated, or afflicted by mental disease. Demographically, their most important characteristic is normalcy (within their environment). Terrorist leaders actually tend to come from relatively privileged backgrounds.’ One of the authors of the RAND report, Darcy Noricks, also found that according to a number of academic studies, ‘Terrorists turn out to be more rather than less educated than the general population.’”

The Politicians from both sides have lost their F- ING minds! This country is screwed so bad! While these lunatics, for decades have been reducing our standard of living, they continually try to find ways to quicken our demise! These Ass Hats that Rule over us, clearly want to turn the United States into a 3rd world shit hole!

By not wanting to secure our borders, but still giving more money to Defense every year to kill millions of people all over the planet, we are screwed!

We need to vote all incumbents out! We need term limits (Including Judges)!

Cut the Defense budget by 10% each year for the next 5 years. Close 10% of our foreign military bases every year until they are all closed! Cut military recruiting by 50%. Cut military personnel through attrition until we are at half of today’s levels. Bring all troops home to protect our countries borders!
