What should be done about illegal immigration?

Okie and Walter might just represent the National Socialists in a2k.

I've seldom been more insulted, if at all. In all my life no-one ever brought me or what I said only near to the right, not to speak to National Socilaists.

I never did so before, but this is eally hurting me deeply.

You get the chance to excuse

If Republican strategists would rather see the Dems shove a Dem-written, Dem-preferred bill down their throats in three years, then hey - I agree with them and welcome the opportunity for that to happen. But I think in the long run it is a mistake for the Republican party to further alienate Latino voters (who had turned to them in large numbers before the immigration issue came up) while actively working to kill attempts to solve the problem. It's a lose-lose for them.

Putting Party before Country is a typical Democratic trait. This statement is just one more pathetic example.

You shouldn't be offended Walter, it is just idiocy.

After all, which side of the immigration debate are the National Socialists on?

The side that wants to give compassion to foreigners living here? Or, the side that that wants to defend the borders and kick out all of the aliens out of fear they might subvert the dominant culture.

Advocate has no right to accuse someone else of virulent anti-foreigner rhetoric.

This is great, thanks! But you really owe an explation on your conflation of Nazism and Marxism - only the latter advocated subversion of foreign countries in flagrant contravention of those countries' laws.

Given the prominence of Althusserian Marxism in France at the time of Bourdieu's essay, his structuralist terminology ("relative autonomy"; "overdetermination"; "structure of the field of productivity") and its proclaimed difference from the critical apparatus of the Frankfurt School should not be overrated. True, Bourdieu speaks of "habitus" while Adorno speaks of "ideology"; Bourdieu regards Heidegger as a "practical operator" (64) who mediates between politics and philosophy, whereas Adorno refers to him as a "reflection" ["Widerhall"] or "sign" ("Abdrücke" (73)] of the social in the realm of philosophy. But the crucial point remains that both Adorno and Bourdieu read Heidegger's ontology as the unconscious expression of a dynamic social process whose dynamics it fails to reflect. This failure is constitutive of ontological discourse, whose preference for stasis over movement, ground over horizon, Being over becoming is but an expression of a human "desire" (69) caused by a world that, in reality, never stands still.

Sounds like somebody's graduate thesis. LOL

Actually the author is a university professor in Missouri; very competent, imho.

I still want to know how Advocate mixed up Nazis and Marxists, however!

That isn't the issue at all.

The question is how Advocate mixed up Nazis, and respected members of the A2K community...
