By the way, although amnesty--the creation of tens of millions of overwhelmingly "progressive" Democrat voters--would be a home run for the Democrats (and gun ban zealots), there's another strategy (which would combine well with the amnesty approach) that I'm surprised is not really being pursued.Gunloons, like Kurt, like to speak about "rights."
The "right" of anyone (well, except for those non-white folks) to carry any kind of gun anywhere they want. And Kurt has called gun ownership "a fundamental human right."
Yet, Kurt and other extremist rightwingers oppose amnesty--permitting undocumented immigrants who have lived and worked in the US for many years--the right to citizenship. Many of these undocumented immigrants have children born in this country and who know no other country than the US.
The fact is the vast majority of these undocumented immigrants come from Mexico and Central America. They come to the US for a better life and/or to escape persecution in their country. But--they're non-white, so Kurt says they have to go. I'm fairly certain Kurt will say it's not about race but because they'd just wind voting for Dems but that explanation doesn't hold water. After all, which party has championed the right of immigrants from Cuba to have automatic US citizenship for merely getting into US territorial waters? Could not the GOP be the champions of amnesty and therefore curry favor in an ever-increasing demographic? Nope, the GOP is too far in bed with the white separatist movement. The GOP and Kurt wouldn't even consider amnesty an issue if we were talking about undocumented immigrants from Canada or Germany.
The problem with you Jade and company is the use of undocumented instead of ILLEGAL! They are here ILLEGALLY! Which means they don't get to vote or benefit from social services. Just try this in any other country and see what happens. I don't care where they are from, they don't belong here without proper following of the laws.
ReplyDeleteWe have laws to get here legally, follow them, use them, enforce them. We need to either enforce ALL laws or abolish them all, ALL of them, not just selectively enforce them. Not just immigration laws Jade, ALL LAWS!
Kurt is also the one who said he would take up guns against the government in a violent overthrow if the government reinstated the AWB. We already had that ban for years, I wonder if Kurt was one of those who attacked the government during that ban?
ReplyDeleteNo, he explained that he was too young then and wasn't into gun rights. Lucky for us, huh?
DeleteI go with dumb. He wasn't able to figure out that there is no right to rebellion as long as there is a functioning "democratic" system.
ReplyDeleteLikewise, he is too stupid to figure out that at one time Texas, New Mexico, California, and parts of other Southwestern States were part of Mexico.
Whoop-dee-doo. Mexico owned that terrirtory for a whopping 20-some years. It was Spanish territory for hundreds of years. And, let us not forget that Russia owned part of Northern California and all of Alaska. So, who is stupid?

Interesting that the Texas Rebellion was brought on by an attempt at controlling immigration of Americans and resulted in another successful rebellion, in this case, from the Mexican government.
DeleteActually, the Texas Rebellion was about slavery. As John Quincy Adamas said in 1836: "the war now raging in Texas is a Mexican civil war and a war for the re-establishment of slavery where it was abolished."
DeleteAnother historian said, "slavery--or rather the "freedom" to engage in slavery --was a "primary cause of the Texas Revolution."
Ultimately it was Jade. Mexico had outlawed slavery and gave Texans a year to free them. The Texans pulled what could only be construed to be a lame maneuver and turned them into lifetime indentured servants, which must have somehow been ok with Mexican law.
DeleteThey then noticed that there were getting to be too many gringos and tried to control the influx. Even going so far as to tax immigrants.
Things escalated and the rest is as they say, history. Now it seems to be working in the opposite direction. An interesting bit of karma.
I would never accuse Kurt of being dumb. I have accused him of playing dumb. So, that leaves racist.
ReplyDeleteIs there a limitation?
DeleteHe is/can be both.
Hell, I'm racist. I think everyone should own a WHITE boy!
