@JoelWBerry Where does a white person who wishes to not be a minority in the country they grew up in fit your two-bin system? Are you saying that person has a warped pagan anthropology?
You sound like you’ve not thought your position through, Joel.
@MBHORNSFAN Ah, you’re the guy who regularly who regularly makes a Marxist ass of himself on UT sports message boards. It is your kind that is unwanted.
@ModernBoethius St. Thomas cannot hear you. He died long ago and his spirit is not omnipresent. Your attribution of God’s unique attributes to what is not God is blasphemy.
@salinasforhtx Neither should mass replacement immigration. Your repetition of marxist mantra is unthinking allegiance to a subversive ideology and makes you an intellectual cuckold. “Racism” and “xenophobia” slurs don’t work as disguise for your own racism.
If you’re not from DFW, I don’t think you have an idea how significant the immigration issue is here. I don’t mean the mass of the problem, but rather how personal and widespread the frustration is among the residents regardless of political affiliations.
Even before my post, it’s been the topic at almost every dinner or party. If you’re from here and anything less than the upper class, you have a deep resentment for the companies and politicians ushering in foreigners at the expense of your home. We’ve watched some of the most liberal progressive people we know pull their kids out of public schools because they’re the only Americans left in their class. I don’t know how these people will vote, but they are facing the reality of their progressivism.
A lot of these people are uncomfortable having the discussion in public given it touches a raw part regarding race. I get the sensitivity and there is a sense in which that’s right. But if our politicians want the support of the people of Texas, they’re going to have to recognize that however silent, there is a significant majority that feel disenfranchise, betrayed and a level of despair watching their home be transferred to newcomers.
These are not hateful, mean or racist people. They simply want to give their kids an upbringing that resembles the one they had. They want their kids to go to schools with other English speaking Americans, meet kids at the park they can be friends with and they don’t want their kids to be minorities. This is normal and good.
If Bo’s post was over the line for you then you’ve lost touch with every voter and are in for a rude awakening.

@JoelWBerry Joel, in all fairness, you’re not living in the intense war zone of the displacement. There’s no time for a protracted measured response in communities where there is no next year. You think there’s time to work things out slowly, but that’s simply not an option for many.
@richardgalaxia@DrJMPestana Silly. The debt is a real problem but Americans will have to suffer badly before doing anything about it becomes politically feasible.
@richardgalaxia So dumb. But you have company with millions of American simpletons who think massive structural problems decades in the making can be fixed in 18 months. Grow up.
@JesusButReal@NewsWire_US You object to his vulgar phrasing of sexual conception. Is there more to it than that? Massachusetts is endorsing the murder of babies right up until full term delivery. One of those is much worse than the other and speaks of profound eternal evil. Vulgarity not quite the same.
