"The secret of getting ahead is getting started." -- Mark Twain
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I can hear the call to her Medical Alert provider now. "Help! I've fallen and I can't blow up!"
I'm tellin' ya, man- Sweden is about to open up the whole can o' whoopass. There's a couple of shady 95 year olds who've been under constant police surveillance...
Sounds like the TSA has taken over their vetting process.

"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

This particular case is all about the money as Sweden pays all the medical care. They have admitted a very large, by percentage of their population, of these refugees so why they chose to start there seems crazy. On the other hand, admitting all those other refugees seems a little crazy too.
How about this: "Hey guys, the citizens want us to deport all these refugee troublemakers. But we don't want to. Let's pick a little old lady and reject her claim. She'll get three appeals and will no doubt die before we have to deport her."
That way the young, healthy military age males can keep on raping and such.
