We should not return illegals crossing the southern border to their country of origin...we should drop them off in Canada. I'll bet it won't take long for the welcome to wear out.
I fully support the top free movement. Although many need a different kind of support.
If you need any proof that you have to accept that there will be possibly unpleasant sights to go with the very pleasant ones...... that picture is it. ( just remember Mia Khalifa, threatened by foul murderous sexually frustrated Islamics. Why they pick on her and not........? Says something about Islam? )
Building the Lunar base. Building more solar power satellites to help a free and allied China close their last coal-fired power plants. Mining the asteroids. Being the richest people of a much richer planet.
Also probably wondering how to solve the Muslim problem as they kill each other with clubs. ( since the failed state of Arabia wouldn't be rich with oil money. )
Depends how far back you eliminate the leftist influence to destroy civilization. Go back to 1900 & you don't have WW2 or the Cold war.
You'd have other wars. Belgium, France and Germany over African colonies? South America vs. the Vatican?
Aesquire: If you eliminated any leftist movement, we would all still be illiterate peons wearing robes and worshiping someones idea of a god from a book we would not be allowed to read (or able due to that illiteracy thing).
you might be illiterate. I learned to read by 5. ( taught my sister to read by 4, I was 11 )
I prefer Liberal Western Civilization and the American view that Man is not perfect, or perfectible, and we should take that into account when choosing how much power the People allow their servants to wield.
I'd probably agree with you that the Far Right is as bad as the Far Left, if you could define the Right for me... and Nazi is Socialist Left no matter how long the Communist Left has lied about that.
As to wearing robes. Hey, they're comfortable. You think a Suit & Tie is sane wear in summer?
You are on your own as to choosing what God(s) to Worship. That's what the Enlightenment was all about. I will defend to their deaths your right to worship any silly thing you like. I will also feel free to mock you. Or anyone. That means I better take your mockery in good humour as well. Or just be annoyed. My choice.
Don't Confuse the Left, the sons of the lover of Lucifer, Karl, with the Liberal Enlightenment, which has more to do with Frances Bacon & Rene Descartes and the move away from the King by grace of God towards individuals having worth.
Never mind other countries, where "right" means different things.
Left, that's easy. Socialism/Marxism/Ismism, it's the Social Justice Lie and the Divide and Conquer Strategy ( not limited to the left ) But fundamentally, Leftism is the Lie that Man is perfectible. That The Elite know better than you how to spend your money, live your life. That it's the Will Of The People that a self appointed elite will Rule over you.
The right is a bit more nebulous. The Republican Establishment is center-left at best. ( a century of propaganda at work ) Mostly because they see the easy Power in the System.
Nazis? Leftist.
Klan? the few dozen left? Good question. How did the Democrat Party action Arm become right?
Racists know no ideology, But I will point out that the professionals are Left. "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
Imagine the level of ignorance, self delusion, and hardcore racism that statement takes.
Chess club? Isolationists?
Seriously, I assume it's a spiral and the jerks are arranged vertically, but I just don't see any real "right wing" in America, outside the John Birchers and a few other really fringe micro-groups.
The Alt-right seems to be a Clinton Campaign invention, even though the gay, Jewish, troll who love black guys embraced it. ( and I'm a Milo fan. He's a guilty pleasure, like really bad movies, or Fair Food )
From Great Depression to Great Recession, each end, left and right, are finding out ways to "teach" the masses that aren't quite there yet with their agenda(s). From the globalists to the two-job Joe.
Can't be said enough. We absolutely have to burn lots of shoe leather this next mid-term to teach them who the boss is.
25 years ago I was spat upon, threatened with physical beat down, assaulted with vehicles, rocks thrown at, property destruction, all because of my believe that there is more than one candidate that should be in a primary.
One nation under God still works today if we exercise our knees frequently!
I am obviously talking about extremes. Right, left, up, down.
Everything in moderation.
I too would be curious what you mean by extreme right. George Bush and Trump have both been accused of being extreme right. That's laughable with both of them.
KKK? They are a product of the left. That's a fact. They are looking for a new home as the left is shifting to hatred of the white race. That hardly makes them right wing though. They are just recently orphaned.
Nazis? They are born of socialism. Nothing right wing about them.
Anarchists? In theory yes. In practice no. Anarchy is known to be unstable, as someone always jumps in to fill the power vacuum. Almost always with disastrous results.
Religious? Both sides are guilty there. Who is more righteous in their claims could be debated. It would take some pretty good historical study to understand the use of religion at various points in history, and the ideology behind it.
Modern day conservatives in the US. That pretty much describes your moderation right there.
Hillary relayed the sentiment that the NRA is akin to Iranian terrorists and called gun owners that believe in their constitutional rights as written right wing extremists.
The fringes are extreme left and far left. Moderates are hateful and conservatives are evil. So is the political climate today.
Had this discussion with a friend today, who is as right wing as you could ask for. Former Marine, ( A-4 electronics guy ) mechanic, Parent, Grandparent.
He turned me on to Bill Whittle's rant on r/K selection theory.
Unfortunately, Bill was apparently dead tired, and rambled a bit... and got a few things wrong.
In simple terms... Those who pass the genes on are winners. Simple, obvious.
What is not obvious is that there are 2 different natural selection processes out there. One is the abundance tactic of rabbits. The earth is a giant field of food, there is no need to compete for it, so they have as many children as possible, kick them out as soon as possible, invest the least amount of time in their children, and thus pass the most amount of genes on. Great survival strategy. That is labeled in this theory with a small "r".
The other tactic is for a world where there are limited resources, and you have to compete for them. The winning strategy is to be as fit to survive as possible, and to invest the time in the children so they too can compete. This, again, passes the most genes on to the future. The theory labels this as "K".
In human society, people with the "K" mindset succeed, and eventually create enough wealth that there is enough food and security for all. This opens the door to "r" mindset. You don't compete, there's no need, food is free. You don't need to be fit to survive, so you resent those who are. Most important, you breed as far and as cheaply as you can, not investing in the children, because they too don't have to compete. So "r" females will have many children, and "r" males will have children with as many females as possible. There is little need to compete even for temporary mates, as they too are just looking to pass on genes, and, there's no reason to select.
As you can tell, these two genetic strategies are in many ways the opposite of each other. Based on opposite assumptions on how the world works. One assumption is, obviously to you folk here, completely wrong. Except that the "K" folk work very hard to make the temporary exception to the laws of nature.
This also explains why "r" folk are so quick to support the enemy. They hope the other side will cull the "K" people among them. Even eliminate them. After all, "r" people are well trained to be submissive, and are great folk to conquer.
For the "r" folk the "K" folk really are a more present threat than Islamic murderers or the Kim Dynasty's God complex. Kim doesn't threaten them with looking like crap. Competent "K"s do.
There's a lot more involving biochemistry etc. and the division between "r" and "K" behavior is not hard wired, but is firmware. It makes perfect sense to never have a job and impregnate as many women as possible, when there's no cost to that behavior, and in fact, it is highly rewarded. ( in the genetic sense, but in terms of effort per meal or orgasm, too )
