@hightor,
Quote:If you haven't noticed, Zardoz treats this thread as a blog; it's basically a long-running political commentary from his perspective. Your gnat-like presence here and your petty "demands" are of little concern to him. You should be flattered that he hasn't simply put you on "ignore".
Gnat-like presence? Flattered? Who are you kidding?
As for his "blog", it's a long running thread full of BS. If he wanted a private blog, he should have gotten his own webpage or kept it on his PC. You do realize where he got his name don't you? He thinks he's a great big head full of knowledge leading people to the truth. A vast majority of what he claims is easily disproven. It's why he won't source anything he claims, yet it's in books 20+ years old.
Quote:In addition, no one was asking you to source everything that anyone claims; you and I were specifically discussing whether Trump kept Hitler's writings on his nightstand, and yes, the claim was easily verified.
You told me to look up the claims he made...
Quote:Do I actually have to explain it to you? Trump is using the old phrase, "If you don't like it here you can leave."
You mean explain from a leftist perspective how it's racist? It's been used for a long time by different people, most recently with "love it or leave it."
Quote:During the Obama years, the Tea Partiers and other Republican conservatives continually attacked the direction the country was moving in, thought the president was illegitimate, cried about same-sex marriage, claimed that "freedom of religion" was under attack — i.e., they didn't like it here. I don't recall any Democrat suggesting that if they didn't love the place they should leave.
That's because a bunch of leftist have always claimed they were going to leave if someone they didn't like was elected. Don't blame others for holding leftists to their own words.
As for Obama and the "direction" of the country... We didn't like the direction he was trying to take the country, he promised to "fundamentally change the US." That's the sound of someone who doesn't love their country and want's to make it into something it wasn't.
As for gay marriage, I think the majority of people were upset the SCOTUS was making a ruling on something the federal govt had nothing to do with. Marriage was always a state issue, not a federal one. The feds don't issue marriage license's and only deal with marriage when it comes to the IRS and maybe SS retirement. My personal feelings on the subject was I didn't care, let people marry, I was worried about the Feds stepping into something where they didn't have jurisdiction. 10 Amendment?
Quote:Use your imagination.
I'm sorry, I'd rather have facts stated then take a trip through your fantasy world.
Quote:The press of people fleeing life-threatening conditions in Central America will not simply evaporate. In other words, the underlying problem has not been solved, merely shoved onto another country which can neither adequately house and care for these detainees nor absorb them into its economy without provoking social unrest.
Which isn't our problem nor should we be spending millions or billions on their issues or their people flooding into our country illegally on fake asylum claims. We already have people we have problems providing for, bringing in millions of poorly educated and low skilled people won't fix the problem for US citizens. Our center of attention should always be America first.
Quote:You and Trump have an "out of sight, out of mind" mentality, but if widespread civil unrest occurs in Central America will affect the USA whether we like it or not.
Sorry, but it isn't our problem, they have their own leaders to election to make changes to their country. They shouldn't be coming here and demanding anything, we owe them nothing. Their illegal presence already effects our country. How much money do we spend on educating illegal immigrants? How much money in welfare are they getting? Every penny that is spent on illegal immigrants is that much less spent on US citizens.
Quote:Oh, by the way, I do think asylum laws need to be changed but I don't think this administration's response represents a well-thought-out solution; it reeks, like throwing carrion to a pack of populist dogs.
He's doing a better job then the leftist politicians who have spent the last 8 months lying about the "made up crisis" on the southern border. They refused to do anything about it and claimed it was all BS. Now they are waving their arms in the air about the border crisis... These people suffering on the southern border can be directly blamed on the left, for doing nothing because, Orange man bad.
Quote:Yeah, well if you don't like it, you can always leave.
No thanks, I'll keep challenging his BS and calling him out for his lack of sources. You can continue to defend him if you want, but he's still wrong on a majority of the things he talks about.
