Re: Book about Leftist Destruction of America through open borders
I mean the evil ideology that wants to destroy the most generous giving nation that ever existed, which is what the Left's policies are going to do if we don't stop them.

Yet you cannot present any evidence to support that assertion while you support a political party that is actually working to destroy the rule of law, destroy social responsibility, destroy the safety net, destroy even the piss poor excuse of a health system that is available in the US.

Re: Book about Leftist Destruction of America through open borders
You did a nice job there of describing the Leftist policies which of course I do NOT support.

Re: Book about Leftist Destruction of America through open borders
Do you support removing limits on auto exhausts?
Do you support removing restrictions on what manufacturers can dump into our streams?
Do you support telling science what areas they can explore and what areas they cannot?
Shall we continue?

Re: Book about Leftist Destruction of America through open borders
I don't know anything about any of that, but of course it depends on all kinds of things you are leaving out, such as how much and for what purpose. Either side can go too far. The environmentalists can destroy the economy of the country, keep us dependent on other nations, put people out of work and so on, by going too far in their concern for the enironment, and those who want to preserve the economy can go too far in failing to take care of the environment. Both sides are extremely important and this needs to be discussed with concern for both.
In any case what I said is right: you described the Left very nicely in the previous post.

Yet again you offer no support and admit you are ignorant about what the current administration of il Donald is doing. Educate yourself first before claiming the left is doing anything wrong.

Re: Book about Leftist Destruction of America through open borders
Read through some of your recent posts: You are the champion at giving empty opinion without support.
Yeah it would be nice if I followed the news better I suppose but I was making a general point that doesn't need to be more precise.

Re: Book about Leftist Destruction of America through open borders
Which Administration is currently attempting to do the following?
Removing limits on auto exhausts?
Removing restrictions on what manufacturers can dump into our streams?
Telling science what areas they can explore and what areas they cannot?

Who cares? Again you leave out the important issues: to what extent and to what purpose.

Re: Book about Leftist Destruction of America through open borders
Anyone living in the US should care.
So the question remains. Which Administration is currently trying to
Removing limits on auto exhausts?
Removing restrictions on what manufacturers can dump into our streams?
Telling science what areas they can explore and what areas they cannot?

Re: Book about Leftist Destruction of America through open borders
People up to no good who want to manipulate others are very good at describing things to obscure their real meaning, leaving out crucial information about the extent and the purpose for instance. You're very good at that but you should not be proud of it.

How is that "right" established? Did the previous inhabitants not have a right to their sovereignty? What makes you so special that you get to preserve your "right" at the expense of the next wave of "invaders"?

Canada?
I don't like the Conservative Party either and I would never vote for them but only parts of their ideology are actually evil.

Most people at Ellis Island had legitimate authority to be there of one sort or another, but at our southern border we are talking about gate crashers mostly.
So you would be okay with those southern border gate crashers getting on a boat and entering the country through Ellis Island the same way the Italians, Germans, and Irish did? Why couldn't we set up the same thing at the southern border?
Even those seeking asylum don't do it right, they wait until they get here to make that claim.
How long would they have to wait if they did it that way? How long would they have to stay in life threatening situations?
We can't take in six billion people you know. Or maybe you don't know it.
I agree, we can't take in everyone who wants to come here. However, we can take in a lot more than we are currently taking in, and do so fairly and compassionately.
