Liberalism is a mental disorder.

What is a "Libtard"?

I know a couple of mentally challenged brothers who have always worked and believe in freedom. They are like eternal 12 year olds now in their 50's. We're good guys even when they were kids. I Q . Test? No. Get the gov out of schools, yes. Stop entitlement programs, yes.

It has to come from within.

Hey, Libtards out to hook or crook bag the (legal) Hispanic vote: Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I wrote the above because it felt good.

Hi, John,
I am afraid that such simple exportation could not work now and not in the foreseeable future. For a people to live in freedom and in capitalism, they have to meet some cultural, educational and cognitive ability standards. My favorite expression is: "people get the governments they deserve". To me, that is a self evident axiom.
Our Founders did not come from England and set up the constitutional republic out of thin air. They were an expression of the will of the majority of colonists among whom they lived. In other words, colonists were mature enough to be able to live in a free self-governing country. It is that freedom that then served as a petri dish were those pesky germs called entrepreneurs could thrive and multiply evolving the nation's economy into a capitalist one.
On immigration (I am an immigrant) my most important requirement after health and lack of criminal record would be that every immigrant must have an IQ score above the then current average of the US population, which I think is 100 or close to it. What do you think?

It would resolve more than just the illegal influx. The spigot needs to shut off and the sooner the better. SNAP off! WAKE UP AND EARN YOUR LIFE.

If we could turn off the welfare magnet this situation would resolve itself.

Thanks, Neal!

your link leads to a very good talk;;; I just wish that
the speaker had explained how we can best help
the poor people of the world -- by exporting freedom
and capitalism!!! -- j

Zooty Jasser and who else?

Not to highjack my own post but... are there more than 2 muslims who speak out against muslims? That's all I can find...two.

Especially Russia right now.

ditto.

Sure didn't get the answer he was looking for, did he? Luved it.
The legal immigrants in this nation are incensed over this amnesty BS. They worked hard to get here and see no reason why others should get a free pass to citizenship and the benefits they must pay for with their taxes.
Paul hit the nail on the head with his statement.

You got it. Would be interesting to hear what he has to say about America today. Or Russia, for that matter.

What a country!

Well said Paul. Obviously an intelligent factual statement, not some rant about liking or disliking poor people that are breaking our laws, invading our country. I'm astounded how many in the media don't understand these concepts, the truth. It's like they (the media) are here only to cause dissention, disparity, misunderstanding, separation, disagreement (argument), animosity, etc. Why don’t we just open all our borders, the ports, airports, etc., and let everyone and anyone come in freely? Because it’s our law, we are a nation of laws. Obey our law or cause the law to be changed, period. If we had a leader he would explain that to the people and the media, close the border(s) or change the law, then we could move on to another subject.

This is the best explanation I've seen on immigration here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPjzfGCh...
It probably should be a new subject.

...and there was no welfare system in the 1800's.

You go, Paul!
They are actually flummoxed by finding a Latino who speaks out rationally. We could use a hundred more. But, keep in mind, it's lonely to be a Latino that tells it like it is, or a conservative Jew, or a Muslim protesting jihadists. You will often be ostracized, treated as a pariah, and in the case of Muslims, actually put yourself in harm's way.

I am reminded of Yakov Smirnoff's routines about the Soviet Union, back when they were still in business. As a naturalized American, he was free to speak his mind. Of course, even that has changed since those days. God forbid that one should use one's First Amendment rights. Remember that everyone is free to change the channel if they do not like what they see. At least for now.

That was great. The rest of the panel looked stunned. Somehow truth made it on the air at CNN.

Just awesome. Like Bill Cosby on welfare.
Love the idea of these people coming here to seek opportunity. Hard working people wanting a better place in the world by endorsing and participating in a superior system. I know many from Russia, India, Mexico Sri Lanka, Brazil and even Peru.
This is quite different from coming here seeking a nicer place to do nothing, or a better schools and healthcare funded by other people's taxes. and asking us to accept other languages on government forms or street signs and to insist we all press 1 for English.
Perhaps the metric for adult green cards and then immigration should be to demonstrate a work ethic. Skills can be taught.

I applaud his well thought out responses to the moderator and the priest. As stated in a prior post, there was no welfare state in place for the immigrants in our early history. Rewarding bad behavior only begets MORE bad behavior.

I have to agree with LS on this one.
