I've been recently criticized by someone who knows me all too well (or thinks they do, anyway) for my supposely prejudiced comments about Others. I presume it was aimed at things I've said in this blog about certain ethnic groups (like the jihadis and illegal immigrants) and others who Aren't Me.
Now I can jump up and down and insist that I am, too, not prejudiced, but I don't think they're going to buy it from me.
Suffice it to say that I'm not, no matter what you (or they) may believe.
Do I think that there are bad people out there who are not only willing but actually trying to kill us? Yup.
Do I think that, maybe, just maybe, we should kill them before they get the chance? Yup.
Do I think that there are some people who shouldn't be allowed in this country just because they want to come, legally or not? Yup.
If that's prejudice, so be it. (If you want an explication of the problem, watch Alien Nation, starring James Caan and Mandy Patinkin; a great movie, and nary a Mexican in sight.)
If you want to live in a dangerous world with way too many people in it, many of whom don't like us, that's your choice.
Just don't expect me to support the notion.
