Close the Door, Virgil!

Uh-oh. Rep. Virgil Goode, the only American politician who has ever said that Islam as such is a threat to our instutions and culture and that Muslim immigration must therefore be reduced or stopped, has indicated he is willing to accept an invitation to a Muslim gathering. Bad idea. He should not go to such a meeting, unless it is to use the occasion to tell the Muslims that he knows—not because they are bad people but because they are Muslims—that they are a danger to our society and don’t belong here.

I should have explained: the title of this entry is a play of words on a Bob Dylan song, “Open the Door, Homer,”the first verse of which goes:

Now, there’s a certain thing
That I learned from Jim
That he’d always make sure I’d understand
And that is that there’s a certain way
That a man must swim
If he expects to live off
The fat of the land.
Open the door, Homer,
I’ve heard it said before.
Open the door, Homer,
I’ve heard it said before
But I ain’t gonna hear it said no more.
