That old saw, "out strength is in our diversity" is a phony bromide that gets proven wrong almost every day. The most recent example is the NYC Halloween killer who came into the U.S. under a visa lottery program that should have been terminated. Oh, it's probably true that only a tiny minority of those allowed in under that program have turned into mass murderers. But how many should it take?
Ironically, these attacks tend to bring out the best in the rest of us. During the Las Vegas massacre the real heroes were the civilians who stayed behind to help the injured while the first responders held back. There haven't been reports of this from NYC, but the citizens on the streets probably helped the injured, too. They are the heroes that bring us together. And there are millions of them out there.
Meanwhile, Democrats are doubling down on identity politics with Elizabeth Warren leading the charge. And that culture-killing recipe will keep us divided.
