...and to preempt any reference to Lib. or snowflake my guess is I'm the only one or at least one of a very few on this forum who voted for Barry Goldwater.

Well if your first post in this thread was the Cliff's Notes of those 2 books, I think I'll take a pass. No need in reading a bunch of agenda driven propaganda.I suggest you read 2 recently published books..."The Soul of America" by Pulitzer prize winning author and historian John Meacham and "Facism" by former Secretary of State, Madeline Albright. Then tell me if I'm wrong. History repeats itself. As Musselini said, " Don"t cut the chicken's head off, pluck the feathers one at a time, then people won't notice what you are doing." Trump is a Facist and he is following their playbook to a T.
There's an article in this morning's Houston Chronicle that in my mind hits on the fundamental force behind Trump's rise to the presidency. Headlined, " Population transition to non-whites grows." Basically, deaths among whites in the U.S. out number births. "Make America Great Again" is code that feeds the concerns of Trump's hard core supporters....uneducated, older, white, working class, Evangelical people who cannot handle the browning of America. Trump's position has been clear....ban Muslims, take the side of white supremacists in Charlottesville, turn his back on Puerto Rico, and zero tolerance on immigration. The common thread...we don't want people who don't look and speak like us coming to this country. Obama is right, he was 20 years too early in terms of progressive ideas becoming the norm in this country. Racism did not go away after Johnson's landmark legislation, it went underground but when "N" became president it resurfaced with a vengeance and the result is Trump. We will survive this and a multi-cultural United States will be better for it.
Thank you for helping me confirm that I don't want to read those books. Keep on living in your supposed utopia down there.Comment #1...of course you don't want to read educated opinion of documented history. You spend your time watching the Pravda of American media. You should try expanding your provincial horizons. You just might learn something 2nd comment...you are whistling past the grave yard if you don't think racism is at the heart of the cult of Trump. He has hit a nerve with a minority who "want their country back." I live in a community that is the future of America...Ft. Bend County, Texas, the most culturally diverse county in America and right next to the most culturally diverse city in America ( Houston ). I see my grand children in class with a virtual United nations makeup. They see no color. They see no religious biases. They see no cultural differences. People my age want to go back to the 50's and Trump played on their fears.
I live in Nebraska and voted am proud to say that I voted for Trump. I'm tired of people wanting the government to do everything for them. Back when JFK made his inauguration address he said "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country". In today's world everybody wants the federal government to come in and give them something. I'm guessing that if JFK was the President right now he would be seen as somebody that wasn't liberal enough for the left.
In my opinion racism got worse during the Obama administration. Seemed like he liked to blame everything on racism.
I think I agree that it resurfaced because of Obama. He was obviously a transformational president who probably was ahead of his time. Racism has been a thread of fact throughout the history of this country and Trump has captured it as a cornerstone of his presidency. Obama thought people were ready for a transparent dialogue. He was wrong. The irony of all of this is that Trump voters have been sold a bill of goods. He is a chronic and pathological liar who will simply tell his base anything and they believe him. He's plucking the chicken one feather at a time.

My first thought was to Email you my thoughts on this, ia...I then realized I didn't want to hide those behind the anonymity of a private message...4 pages and only 6 likes; some need to step up their love for my sake...
Ahead of his time? You have to be kidding. One of the most clueless comments ever on this board. Obama was a puppet for the liberal left and fulfilled all their dreams. Why do you think so much of Obama's past is sealed and not for public consumption? He is a fraud from beginning to end. The agitation of America was fast tracked when they identified this guy in the crowd of nobodies. Your position is more than clear by your recommended reading. Take that hook out of your mouth before you find yourself on the fillet table.I think I agree that it resurfaced because of Obama. He was obviously a transformational president who probably was ahead of his time.

I hate to point to the obvious, but your very first post in this thread was a personal attack (a cornerstone of the left). You f with the bull, you get the horns.There's a trend here. Every response to my posts is a personal attack ( a Trump cornerstone)
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...and the belief or premise that I'm a Democrat or a flaming liberal.
The breathless hyperbole is a trademark of the left these days. We're more than 500 days into the Trump presidency, and the left has freaked out every single one of them, with nothing they've predicted coming true. 0-500 is a damn pathetic record.We are currently living a national nightmare promulgated by the worst president in our history
Trump's position has been clear....ban Muslims, take the side of white supremacists in Charlottesville, turn his back on Puerto Rico, and zero tolerance on immigration. The common thread...we don't want people who don't look and speak like us coming to this country.
I am well read and continually investigate and research both sides of the debate.
I am not concerned about being in the minority on this forum. I'm simply here to speak the truth. Here's a question for all of you...why aren't we advocating building a wall across our northern border? Why do we continue to waste lives and treasure in a futile attempt to save Afganistan when what we really need to do is put the same effort into bringing political stability to Nicaragua Honduras and El Salvador. Why doesn't average American embrace immigration...not from a legacy standpoint but from the standpoint that immigration is our only hope because our population is getting older and there's none to do the entry level jobs that are the first rung on the ladder to prosperity? The families at our border are seeking asylum from brutal environments in the home countries. Honduras and El Salvador have the 2 highest murder rates in the world. The gangs run the countries. Let's invade Central America and exert our Manifest Destiny instead of channeling the Bolsheviks and the Nazis and rounding up people and putting them in internment camps.
Well let's see, are there any countries north of the United States where people are supposedly fleeing for their lives?? What's the ratio of between the northern and southern borders in regards to TOTAL illegal immigration trying to flood across the border?? I wonder if Canada or Mexico will grant political asylum to US citizens fleeing the United States due to Trump being President or the rampant violence in cities like Chicago??Here's a question for all of you...why aren't we advocating building a wall across our northern border? Why do we continue to waste lives and treasure in a futile attempt to save Afganistan when what we really need to do is put the same effort into bringing political stability to Nicaragua Honduras and El Salvador..
I have yet to meet any Trump supporters who don't support LEGAL immigration. Don't fool yourself into thinking any vocal minority that advocates no immigration speaks for the majority of people who voted for Trump.Why doesn't average American embrace immigration...not from a legacy standpoint but from the standpoint that immigration is our only hope because our population is getting older and there's none to do the entry level jobs that are the first rung on the ladder to prosperity? .
If they were truly seeking asylum, then why try to sneak across the border?? If they feel they have a legitimate claim to asylum, then why not visit a US embassy or an immigration office at a port of entry? Good lord with all your research and investigation abilities, you really believe trying to sneak into the country illegally is a legitimate route to seek asylum?? LOLThe families at our border are seeking asylum from brutal environments in the home countries. Honduras and El Salvador have the 2 highest murder rates in the world. The gangs run the countries. .
And there it is....the NAZI reference!!! That's the buzzword these days isn't it. You even added a nod to genocidal communist regimes in there too!! Comparing what is going on down at the border with what the Nazi's and Communist driven purges did just shows how little you actually know and are just resorting to MSM agenda driven labels.Let's invade Central America and exert our Manifest Destiny instead of channeling the Bolsheviks and the Nazis and rounding up people and putting them in internment camps.
God almighty......and coming from a person who just said he is here to speak the truth......."Legal"is simply code for racism;
That's easy...they aren't seeking asylum. They are simply trying to enter illegally. Funny have you have bought into that spoon-fed buzzword from the left. You want to seek asylum, there actually is a proper and legal process for that.Seeking asylum is a legal aspect of our immigration law. Processing these asylum seekers as criminals is not the American way.
I'm simply here to speak the truth.
Troof!!!!Why doesn't average American embrace immigration.
Nazi internment camps!!!!!!! Troof!!!!Let's invade Central America and exert our Manifest Destiny instead of channeling the Bolsheviks and the Nazis and rounding up people and putting them in internment camps.
"Legal"is simply code for racism;
"Legal"is simply code for racism; I e., if we have total control and we admit only people of merit we can maintain our white Christian heritage.
I’d just like to know how Canada would handle immigration if the USA simply shipped in coming immigrants from Mexico to our northern borders. I don’t know what the answer is but there has to be limit for how many illegal immigrants the USA can allow into our country. What if a million hit our border next month? That may sound crazy but the point is “when is enough, enough”? Sounds to me like there’s way too many people willing to allow anyone, any number to enter and be taken care of by the rest of tax payers. I don’t subscribe to the reasoning whereby just because the USA once accepted and fostered pretty much “come one, come all” that we must continue. When situations change, you need to adjust. Can anyone argue that today is different than it was 50 years ago? Just take a look at how much we are spending on illegal immigrants today compared to then. Consider how much debt we have and explain to me why our country should continue accepting anyone from another country that we have to feed, educate, provide medical attention and raise their children with little or no expectation that we would get a return on our investment. I may sound harsh but I’d like to see those that are so damn sympathetic to the illegal immigrants that are flooding into our country begin to voluntarily allow one of the families to move in with them and pay their expenses. Ain’t going to happen much, because as it stands it’s not costing them anything. They don’t care what it cost our country. They don’t care how much more our debt becomes. Frankly, none of this is going to affect me much, but as an American that has worked hard and enjoyed a good life as a result, it makes me sad to think so many living today aren’t going to have the same opportunities. And don’t think that l’m just a crazy Trumper. I am not. I’m ust an American concerned about my country.
hey now thats a good idea. Just load em up and push them through to Canada.
