You may have seen Ross Douthat’s column from the weekend, in which he talked about the reactionary element of American conservatism. He says that classical reactionary thought usually contains racist and anti-Semitic elements. Even so…:

"Forgive the macros – they know not what they do."

As European countries deal with the current refugee crisis, each is taking a slightly different approach in response to the escalating situation. In Norway, which has been shocked by the unfolding events in neighboring Sweden which has seen a mass revulsion at the ongoing refugee onslaught (and which recently announced it won't accept any more refugees from the EU) the answer appears to be the simplest possible one: offer asylum seekers money to leave.

An American mother was forced to dump almost four gallons of breast milk at Heathrow Airport’s security. On a facebook post, mother of two Jessica Coakley Martinez explained in detail how she was made to give up the breast milk she had pumped and frozen to supply her eight-month-old son with. The amount accounted for two week’s worth of food for the child while they were travelling. USA Today reports: “This wasn’t some rare bottle of wine or luxury perfume I was trying to negotiate as a carry on,” Martinez writes in a 1,588-word Facebook post to Heathrow security.
