THE LIE THAT IS LIBERAL

The best treatment is the "IGNORE" button. ....

Carry on GLU....Time for the weekend to start. Have a good one!

I already am!

That is incorrect. That post quotes a number of court rulings which enforce the right that was created in the English Bill of Rights.

It still seems pretty relevant that the restrictions that you cited were loosened in later centuries as our right to carry guns was created.



I do not perceive any relevance to the claim that the right was created narrowly.



Rex v Dewhurst was a case of a court using the right that was created in the English Bill of Rights as part of their ruling.

"My referral to the creation of the right" and "Parados' claim that the right was created narrowly" are not the same thing.

I did indeed refer to the creation of the right. But I didn't address Parados' claim that it was narrowly tailored until he repeated it and complained of me ignoring it, at which time I questioned how that was relevant.



I honestly cannot perceive any relevance to the claim that the right was created narrowly.



It may or may not have been narrowly tailored, but I strongly dispute that it was limited to the extent of hardly being a right.



I believe that, if Parados' claim is 100% correct, it will not damage my argument even slightly.



All I can do is ask for an explanation as to how the point is relevant, and wait to see if anyone demonstrates that it is relevant.

The funny thing about that statement is none of the quotes you listed cite the English Bill of Rights.

Lack of evidence on your part doesn't make your argument true.

Wow.

You seem to want to completely ignore the part of your statement that states the right was created in the Bill of Rights. The same thing you then said wasn't relevant.

Because you want to completely ignore the exact text in the English Bill of Rights. It only give certain rights to protestants and only weapons allowed under law.



Too bad you haven't quoted any part of the ruling that cites the English Bill of Rights as part of the ruling that grants gun ownership to everyone without restriction.

When you cite the English Bill of Rights as your source how can the exact words in that document not be relevant? These are the EXACT words in the document.




Those words are not relevant?
How can you claim it is a universal right that has no restrictions based on those words? One only has to read the exact words in the document to know you are are proposing something that didn't exist.

Let's examine the relevance.

You claimed:

Rex v Dewhurst wasn't until 1820. So clearly you are arguing that the right exists because of the English Bill of Rights.

You also said this:


Arguing that the words in 1689 meant what you claim was ruled on in 1820 is nonsense. It is nonsense on 2 counts. First, words change meaning over time and rights change with court rulings. You don't get to interpret the words of 1689 with an 1820 mindset. (Just as you don't get to claim the US had no slaves because the Declaration of Independence states all men are created equal.) Secondly, you haven't shown that Dewhurst actually ruled what you are claiming. You seem to guilty of wishful thinking that no one will actually look at the words and you can simply apply meanings that clearly aren't there or are in fact antithetical to the actual words.

You're both referring to the same right, aren't you?


So what? You said that the EBR created the right to bear arms, and parados said that the right you referred to was narrow (to the point of being illusory). So you're both talking about the same thing, you just interpret it differently. Isn't that correct?


So if someone says that your position is wrong, that's not relevant to your position?


I have no doubt, but then that just means that parados's point is relevant to your position. If it weren't, there would be no reason for you to dispute it, strongly or otherwise.


Why not? If the EBR didn't create a genuine right to bear arms, then what's left of your argument that the EBR did create such a right?


I need go no further than your own words. Your "strong dispute" of its truth proves its relevance.

THE CONTINUING LIBERAL LIE

We hear Hillary, Black Lives Matter and the liberal press calling for national standards for police officers.

What that really is all about is their desire to have a national police force. The reasoning is it can then be controlled by Washington and the Department of Justice.

The problem with that is then it becomes entirely political. Look what has happened to the FBI and their investigation of Hillary's email scandal... It's a joke. We have Bill waylaing the Attorney General on an airport tarmac to ensure that the FBI would not make a recommendation to the grand jury. (anyone who believes that they were talking about their grandchildren is an idiot). We have the FBI director giving out immunity like candy allowing her chief-of-staff not only immunity but as a witness she is allowed to sit in on Hillary's interview where no record of that interview was allowed.

We have the Immigration Customs Enforcement now inexplicably and hurriedly giving out citizenship to as many as they can before the election because they know that newly-minted citizens usually vote democratic.

We have Border Patrol Agents told not to do their job. These and other federal law enforcement agencies have lost their integrity... sacrificed at the altar of liberal progressive politics.

That's why Soros and Hollywood has funded BLM... because it never was and still isn't about black lives that matter, as evidenced by this most recent shooting of a black man by black police officer.

You really need to get yourself back in reality, giujohn. That rant is so filled with stuff that isn't true it makes one wonder how you get by in the real world.



ICE doesn't give out citizenship. USCIS is the government agency that deals with granting citizenship. There are strict requirements that have to be met to get a US citizenship. They can't just give out citizenship. The person has to apply for citizenship and meet all the requirements. One of those requirements is that they have to have been in the US legally for at least 3 years and in most cases for at least 5 years.

The government lists the time to get citizenship from applying to becoming a citizen as 6 months to a year.

Admittedly, there has been a large number of applications in response to the racist rhetoric of the GOP but that is not ICE handing out citizenship. It is a number of people deciding they want to become citizens to vote against the GOP.

So I guess ICE is no longer part of USCIS???

Obama administration moves to let legal immigrants rush citizenship process before 2016 election – by allowing credit card payments instead of cash for fees

By Associated Press and David Martosko, Us Political Editor For Dailymail.com
08:19 EST 17 Sep 2015, updated 19:17 EST 18 Sep 2015

There are 8.8 million legal US immigrants are eligible for citizenship.

White House wants to recruit as many as possible before the 2016 election and will allow them to pay the enrollment fees with credit cards.

LA Times concludes 'the political effect is clear: Most of the potential new citizens are Latino and could be expected to vote for Democrats'
Illinois congressman foreshadowed the campaign in July with a House floor speech urging Hispanic green-card holders to become citizens in order to make Donald Trump angry.

The White House launched a national, multilingual public awareness campaign Thursday to help almost nine million legal permanent residents overcome barriers to become U.S. citizens.

'If you are eligible, commit to become a citizen today. It is an important step for you, and an important step for our nation,' said President Barack Obama in a video that launched the campaign on Citizenship Day, observed every Sept. 17.

'Join us. Together we can make America to stand even stronger.'

According to recent estimates, there are approximately 13.3 million legal permanent residents in the United States but only 8.8 million who are eligible to apply for citizenship.

Government data show nearly one out of every three eligible individuals obtained their legal status in 1990 or earlier.

The White House has been careful to avoid the appearance that it is trying to boost Democratic voter rolls in time for the next election.

But the Los Angeles Times reported Friday that 'the political effect is clear: Most of the potential new citizens are Latino and could be expected to vote for Democrats if they become eligible.'

CITIZENSHIP PUSH: President Barack Obama will allow green-card holders to apply for citizenship with credit cards, not cash, to pay the required fees.

ANGRY: Illinois Democratic Rep. Luis Guttierez said in July that legal Hispanic immigrants living in the U.S. should become citizens to send a message to Donald Trump.

The campaign was conceived by a task force created by Obama last November, all part of a package of presidential executive actions on immigration that included expansion of the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which grants young immigrants work permits and reprieve from deportation.

The federal government's action on DACA, as well as a program that would extend deportation protections to certain parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, were put on hold on Feb. 16 by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen in Brownsville, Texas.

A Democratic congressman foreshadowed the campaign in July with a House floor speech in which he urged millions of green-card holders to become citizens in order to send Donald Trump and other Republicans a message that they're 'mean and frankly, let’s be honest, racist.'

Louis Gutierrez, the senior House Democrat from Illinois and a Puerto Rican, said that 'every time you see Trump’s face on your TV, vow to learn a little more English or a few more history facts so you can take the [citizenship] test.'

'Let’s turn Trump’s negative words into something positive. That is how you deal with bullies and bigots.'

Gutierrez spoke next to a poster of an angry-looking Trump, at times becoming just as animated himself.

For its public awareness campaign, the White House said businesses and nonprofit groups plan to host more than 70 citizenship outreach events in the first week, complementing 200 ceremonies in which the federal government will welcome more than 36,000 new citizens across the country.


BIG PICTURE: The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that the net effect of the new policy will be the creation of new loyal Democratic Party voters
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will begin to allow credit card payments of the $680 naturalization fee and expand its mobile services to rural communities through a new partnership with the Agriculture Department.

USCIS will also launch an online U.S. civics and history practice test, a mandatory requirement for green-card holders who want to become American citizens.

Naturalized U.S. citizens such as chef and restaurateur José Andrés, actress Diane Guerrero, singer and songwriter Dave Matthews, and former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Fernando Valenzuela will participate in the campaign, called 'Stand Stronger,' which will also seek to increase awareness of the contributions of new Americans.

The White House said almost 20 cities have joined the initiative, including New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Seattle, Pittsburgh and Atlanta.

There will be in-language material available in Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Tagalog, and the campaign will be promoted by various media companies such as Univision, Entravision, Latina Magazine and People en Español.

A White House official told The Associated Press that the Obama administration is not seeking to naturalize a specific number of legal permanent residents.

The official, who requested anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak with media before the official announcement, said the campaign will not represent a significant cost because it will be paid for largely with money already available to federal agencies.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government has mistakenly

(MISTAKENLY MY ASS)

granted citizenship to at least 858 immigrants from countries of concern to national security or with high rates of immigration fraud who had pending deportation orders, according to an internal Homeland Security audit released Monday.

The Homeland Security Department's inspector general found that the immigrants used different names or birthdates to apply for citizenship with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and such discrepancies weren't caught because their fingerprints were missing from government databases.

The report does not identify any of the immigrants by name, but Inspector General John Roth's auditors said they were all from "special interest countries" — those that present a national security concern for the United States — or neighboring countries with high rates of immigration fraud. The report did not identify those countries.

In an emailed statement, the Department of Homeland Security said the findings reflect what has long been a problem for immigration officials — old paper-based records containing fingerprint information that can't be searched electronically. DHS says immigration officials are in the process of uploading these files and that officials will review "every file" identified as a case of possible fraud.

Roth's report said fingerprints are missing from federal databases for as many as 315,000 immigrants with final deportation orders or who are fugitive criminals. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has not reviewed about 148,000 of those immigrants' files to add fingerprints to the digital record.

The gap was created because older, paper records were never added to fingerprint databases created by both the now-defunct Immigration and Naturalization Service and the FBI in the 1990s. ICE, the DHS agency responsible for finding and deporting immigrants living in the country illegally, didn't consistently add digital fingerprint records of immigrants whom agents encountered until 2010.

The government has known about the information gap and its impact on naturalization decisions since at least 2008 when a Customs and Border Protection official identified 206 immigrants who used a different name or other biographical information to gain citizenship or other immigration benefits, though few cases have been investigated.

Roth's report said federal prosecutors have accepted two criminal cases that led to the immigrants being stripped of their citizenship. But prosecutors declined another 26 cases. ICE is investigating 32 other cases after closing 90 investigations.

ICE officials told auditors that the agency hadn't pursued many of these cases in the past because federal prosecutors "generally did not accept immigration benefits fraud cases." ICE said the Justice Department has now agreed to focus on cases involving people who have acquired security clearances, jobs of public trust or other security credentials.

Mistakenly awarding citizenship to someone ordered deported can have serious consequences because U.S. citizens can typically apply for and receive security clearances or take security-sensitive jobs.

At least three of the immigrants-turned-citizens were able to acquire aviation or transportation worker credentials, granting them access to secure areas in airports or maritime facilities and vessels. Their credentials were revoked after they were identified as having been granted citizenship improperly, Roth said in his report.

A fourth person is now a law enforcement officer.

Roth recommended that all of the outstanding cases be reviewed and fingerprints in those cases be added to the government's database and that immigration enforcement officials create a system to evaluate each of the cases of immigrants who were improperly granted citizenship. DHS officials agreed with the recommendations and said the agency is working to implement the changes

ICE is part of the USCIS but it is not involved in granting citizenship. Your statement would be similar to arguing that the Bureau of Prisons is responsible to investigate federal crimes. Both the FBI and the Bureau of Prisons are part of the DoJ but only a fool would claim you can argue any department of the DoJ does the work of the FBI.

Your article says nothing about ICE giving out citizenships. It states that persons eligible to become citizens are being urged to do so by applying to the USCIS and allowed to pay with credit cards. That is not 'giving out citizenship".

If you think 858 votes are going to give Hillary the WH then I think you have other problems.

Hey genius... how many votes did George W win over Al Gore?

Izzy, I decided he was a liar who wasent worth conversing with a long time ago. He wants people to try to convince him he is mistaken because he takes great pride on being the second biggest liar on this site. Baldy of course being #1.

Sez Rabel the truth merchant.

There are a number of individuals who are not neven on nodding terms with the truth. Max and Finn are right up there as well. Everything they post drips with double meaning and innuendo.

Disagreeing with Izzy is apparently synonymous with dishonesty.

Izzy is truth.
