Diversity Is Strength!—It’s Also Mass Murder

by Richard Spencer on November 10, 2009

Last weekend, I wrote,

Whenever a terrible televised tragedy takes place (the Virginia Tech shootings, the Knoxville murders, last week’s bloodbath) many of the harder-edged neocons, paleos, and immigration restrictionists hope that this will be the last straw—finally people will “wake up” and the establishment will seal the borders and/or halt Muslim immigration and/or cease with the multiculti dreaming.

In a few days from now, all these activists will invariably be chagrined to discover that nothing has changed and that most have instead reached the conclusion “We need Muslims in the military—now more than ever!”

It didn’t take too long for this to come true. Here, for instance, is Gen. George Casey, the U.S. Army Chief of Staff:

Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.

General Casey is exactly the kind of gray-haired, square-jawed, always frowning general that many conservatives imagine to be among the last representatives of Duty, Honor, & Valor left in the country. What those well intentioned conservative admirers of people like this don’t understand is that the Top Brass has imbibed a “patriotic” version of the multiculti creed to the point that they believe not having Muslims serve in the military is far worse than mass murder. Think as well of how many average soldiers failed to turn Hasan in after hearing him lecture on the need to cut infidel throats because they thought this might rock the great global-democratic boat that is the U.S. military. The multiculti religion has believers everywhere, even in places thought to be conservative bastions.
