Wishful thinkers need to look at the evidence

To the wishful thinkers who trust that our pure hearts will ingratiate the mass of Muslim migrants who would gladly rush our country, I enter the evidence of Germany, France, Sweden, Norway, England and Denmark. The experiment isn’t going well. 

For merchants who don’t want our sweet town to be labeled as racist, lest you lose sales, I unveil the decline of tourism taking place in these overseas hotspots.

To our city politicians who want to put words in our mouths, because they fear being labeled politically incorrect (whatever that is), I suggest you count pot holes and fill ‘em up instead of attempting to cure the world’s ills. Do what you were hired to do and please don’t ask your grade-schooler for governing advice. Do your own homework.
