@JustineBateman They would die in my grandfather’s world. He worked a farm all day and would then literally run to a second job at a sawmill to make sure his family had what they needed . My father witnessed this.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON: "The influx of foreigners must, therefore, tend to change & corrupt the national spirit.
To admit foreigners indiscriminately is to invite a Trojan horse into the citadel of our liberty & sovereignty."
@RightGoDeacs Seems like every Republican president nominates one that waffles. Souter actually completely flipped. Never happens the other way, they know why they were put there and do no stray.
America’s ruling class has performed another miracle.
They took the most basic truths in human civilization ... crime needs punishment, borders need enforcement, schools should teach, welfare should be temporary, families matter, merit matters, and taxpayers should not be looted by professional parasites ... and somehow rebranded all of that as “extremism.”
Incredible work, really.
Apparently, a “compassionate” society is one where the violent repeat offender gets another chance, the victim gets a candlelight vigil, the taxpayer gets the bill, the schoolkid gets passed along illiterate, the fraudster gets a grant, the NGO gets another contract, the illegal alien gets services, and the working American gets told to shut up and be more inclusive.
What a beautiful system.
Soft justice did not stay in the courtroom. It metastasized. It became soft borders, soft schools, soft parenting, soft welfare, soft standards, soft men, and soft bureaucrats explaining why every obvious solution is “too harsh.”
Lock up predators? Cruel.
Deport illegals? Hateful.
End generational welfare? Lacking empathy.
Punish fraud? Complicated.
Restore merit? Problematic.
Teach kids to read? Probably colonialism by Tuesday.
A serious country protects the innocent from the guilty. A decaying country protects the guilty from consequences and makes the innocent finance the experiment.
That’s America’s real crisis.
Not poverty. Not “root causes.” Not another fake expert panel.
Consequences.
We stopped imposing them on the people destroying the country, so now the country imposes them on everyone else.

@DieselBABE20@BernieSanders He isn’t stupid, he knows very well what he is saying. He and his ilk want illegal voting because their policies can’t win in a fair election.
Chicago woman mocks Democrats by speaking in a squeaky, high-pitched voice, who say black people's voting rights are in danger.
The woman also called out the commissioners one by one to their faces.
"I'm 63 years old. I've been voting since I was 18. I have never had a problem voting..."
"So now you're all gonna drag black people in here, definitely some senior citizens, and gonna have them come up here and talk about how they're scared to vote... all that junk, when you know it's not true."
