Well stated, my friend.

Cue the responses from right-wing fanatics that will swear all 61 court cases were orchestrated by Marxists. LOL

Whether that's true or not doesn't even matter. If it's not the legal term now, it's not the legal term, period.

What I find very interesting is how unglued people get when anyone suggests it's incorrect to call them "illegals". Stewardesses are now flight-attendants, janitors are now sanitation-engineers. Some people laugh at the changes but no one is really bothered by them, but bigots blow gaskets when they are told to refer to immigrants that did not get legal documentation as "undocumented". It's like they so badly want to call them "illegals" that they will kill anyone that stands in the way.

Obviously, this goes much deeper than legal language. This level of insistence is not even logical, it's fanatical and obviously driven by hatred and bigotry.


We let our kids chose their own destiny. That's called freedom. Obviously, that's not something you ever thought about since you made the assumption that it's always a matter of where parent SEND their "children". Typical conservative tyranny.

Or maybe in your case, it's out of necessity because you were probably too busy TELLING them what to do and what to believe that you never gave them a chance to learn how to think for themselves.

And by the way, Hillsdale has a liberal arts program, so I guess you got punked. LOL

Seriously, universities have ALWAYS been liberal, going all the way back to Aristotle. There have always been two kinds of education, the kind where people are taught what they need to be useful workers and the kind where people are taught how to think for themselves. The term for the later is "liberal arts" and it used to be the ONLY type of program in a university, back when you didn't go to college just to be a cog in the machine.

The only reason why it seems there are more liberal influence in the colleges today is because more people are actually going to college now than ever before.

This is the situation Nixon was contemplating 50 years ago when his campaign realized there were too many college educated citizens to fool them with nefarious policies. The solution was to appeal to the religious, because there is one thing that can trump logic and that's dogma. That's why Nixon became the first president to carry a Bible around with him.


It's "Berkeley", not "Berkley" and the school doesn't offer the programs my kids (1 son, 1 daughter) were interested in. It also has an 11% acceptance rate. My son's girlfriend went there (her GPA was 4.0)

Insults and baseless generalizations aside, here's some actual data.

Since Biden took office...
Personal income increased $66.5 billion.
Disposable personal income (DPI)—personal income less personal current taxes—increased $50.3 billion.
Consumer spending increased $145.5 billion.
Personal saving was $745.7 billion and the personal saving rate—personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income—was 3.6 percent in February.
Personal outlays—the sum of personal consumption expenditures (PCE), personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments—increased $149.9 billion.

These factors may or may not have much or anything to do with Biden OR Trump, but they do present a battery of statistics that indicate people should be doing better now than they were under Trump.

I have no idea what point you're trying to make here but just because 2007 isn't labeled in the chart doesn't mean it's data point is not there. I'm hoping you at least know that 2007 is in-between 2004 and 2008.


Reports on this pattern are constantly being published with consistent results and they are always disputed by those on the right that don't want to accept the possibility that they could be the dimwits of the country and guess what? It's always the same line... indoctrination. It's all you have. There is no data or logic that you can use to disprove the pattern, so you simply call it indoctrination.

I work with engineers who got their degrees in science and mathematics. Not political science - physical science. There's no room for "indoctrination" in physics and yet, these engineers are predominately left-leaning.

Also, it appears you didn't catch my point about immigrants from Europe and Asia that naturalize and vote overwhelmingly for the Democrats. These people were educated in Europe and Asia, not here. So are you going to tell me there's a CIA plot to staff all the schools in Europe and Asia with liberal-indoctrinated professors?

I realize its the ONLY comeback you have but no... It's got nothing to do with indoctrination and everything to do with mental capacity. In general, those with the mental capacity to earn masters degrees also have the mental capacity to know Republicans are run by scammers and supported by idiots.


The ONLY reason why it seems the left has taken over education is because the right is abandoning it. And that's because the leaders on the right, don't want you to be educated enough to realize they're screwing you.


Leftist programs have been around for longer than a century. They were at their apex during the 40's 50's and 60's, a period that you numbskulls keep referring to as the days when America was great. Right-wing attacks on these programs started in the 70's and really kicked in during the 80s. Here's what we've seen since then... stagnant wages, wealth concentration in the top 1%, outsourcing jobs and the disappearance of the single-income family.

So if you really want to make America great again, all you really have to do is follow the road back to the left instead of being suckered into conceding yet more freedom and power to the plutocrats that have been fleecing you since Reagan.

If you are referring to undocumented immigrants, then no and I already said that. I even explained why... because I believe in meritocracy. I also pointed out that this Chicken-Little-Sky-is-Falling fear mongering is BS. Not one cent of federal taxes is spent on undocumented immigrants.

Some cities have decided to help them but these tend to be the cities where the people are in favor of helping them. Charities have also helped them because many charities, including those run by churches actually believe in helping those in need. Not everyone in America is a selfish, racist POS.


As if you actually think - LOL

I think it's funny as hell that someone who is so brainwashed by hate speech is calling ME brainwashed. LOL

I DO know and read US law... That's how I know that "illegal alien" is not a legal term. You obviously don't.

I tell ya what. Why don't you show me the law that actually uses that term? 'Think you can do that?

When the only response once can muster is "stupid bastard!" it tells me that the person is infuriated with his own intellectual limits.

They are legal terms. If you have a problem with legal terms that you think were influenced by progressive lawmakers, well that's your problem.


The term, "illegal alien" is hardly pushed out. It's a VERY popular term among the bigots in right-wing media. But it was NEVER a legal term.


Yeah, "newcomers" don't make much sense because some people live here for decades as documented immigrants.


No, I never suggested it did. I was only expressing my personal view on the matter as a believer in meritocracy.


I would suggest YOU re-read my statements because I never actually said that "well-educated people should be Democrats or they just aren't worth anything." All I said was that well-educated people in the middle-class tend not to vote Republican anymore.

There's plenty of research out there to support that generalization and political analysts in the GOP have even raised this issue as a concern.

This is from NBC News... The article is titled... "GOP faces massive realignment as it sheds college-educated voters"
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/meet-the-press/gop-faces-massive-realignment-it-sheds-college-educated-voters-n1264425



Notice how it wasn't until 2008 that we started to see this divide. This is why I said they don't vote Republican *anymore*.

Personally, I don't think education has changed much in the years since. I think what we see here is evidence that the Republican Party has become more ridiculous and extreme and educated Americans just aren't buying it anymore.

I'm sure you have, probably every day. Every time you see a woman in a professional capacity, such as a doctor, or a CEO or a marine biologist there's an exceedingly good chance she is left-leaning, but most people don't talk politics while in a professional capacity, so you wouldn't know.


There's nothing wrong. We just just tend to be rational, rather than simply subscribing to someone else's assertions without question and that really pisses you off.


WTF do you know about common sense?


You're the one supporting the killing of babies, not us. For instance, it's the right-wing that supports Israel's slaughter of babies in cold blood in Gaza. It's also the Republican attack on state-funded support programs like food stamps and accessible health-care that kill babies through malnutrition and disease.

If you're referring to abortion, that's the practice of terminating the development of embryos. Embryos are not babies. Embryos turn into babies ONLY if they are allowed to develop. You morons are insisting that embryos ARE babies in an effort to win a political fight and establish a tyranny of state control.

Anyway, it's time for breakfast, I'm going to make some scrambled eggs... Oh wait, excuse me... scrambled chickens. LOL

Thanks... Yeah, I just don't have much tolerance for all this entitlement BS. I am a believer in meritocracy and when I see people working their assess off and paying taxes it doesn't matter to me if they are citizens or not, I think they deserve a voice. By the same token, I don't think someone leaching off the system deserves a voice simply because they were born here.

That's what you say, but your rants prove otherwise.


That's what most bigots say to sanitize their hatred. They want to keep as many immigrants out as possible because they hate them but they let a few of them in "legally" so they can tell everyone that it's not about hate, it's about a respect for the law.


You tell us all the time who you support and why. Even your handle... "Proud Republican" tells us a lot about you. And it doesn't matter anyway. This isn't about YOU. This is about what you post. So, keep posting your hateful bigotry and I'll keep exposing them for what they are. Deal with it.

The fact is simple enough for anyone with a clear mind to understand. It's not against the law to BE here. It's only against the law to cross the border without permission.

I'll use a simple analogy to illustrate how ridiculous your claim is.

If you are driving to work at 50 mph on a road that has a posted speed limit of 40 mph. It means you broke the law getting to work. But there is no actual law that says you can't BE at work.

I KNOW you have broken the law at some point... we all have. You either rolled through a stop sign, went a little over the speed limit. Maybe you even ate pickles in Trenton on a Sunday (which is actually illegal) But does that make you an illegal person? Of course not. This is precisely why the law does NOT refer to undocumented immigrants as "illegals".

But like I said, your post isn't about the law, it's about your bigotry and for that it makes all the sense in the world to call them "illegals" or if you're like Trump, you don't even have to stop there... You can all them murders and rapists and "bad people" from shit-hole countries. Whatever you think will demonize them and promote your hatred and racism.

First of all, there is no such thing as an "illegal alien". They are either documented or undocumented. It's hard to tell anymore if people are being derogatory or just too ignorant to know any better. But I don't mind correcting them every single time.

Secondly, no. I don't think undocumented aliens should be able to vote for one very simple reason. They don't have legitimate jobs that siphon taxes from their earnings. I think the right to vote should be based on their contributions not some idiot status that doesn't really mean anything. That means that I don't think those lazy, good-for-nothing people who don't work or prefer to steal but have citizenship simply because they were born here should have a right to vote either. Being born here doesn't mean shit. Most of the rats and fleas in America were born here too. That's how senseless it is to grant someone a privilege, simply because of where they were born.

As for undocumented immigrants, they are not currently allowed to vote and there's no plans to make that happen either. So, it's really not a problem. You might THINK it is if you believe the conspiracy theories.

Do the Democrats depend votes from undocumented immigrants? No. That's what the losers on the right want you think but it's simply not true. The nugget of truth that might be spawning this conspiracy theory is that Democrats do get a lot of support from naturalized citizens... These are the documented immigrants that took the extra step to become citizens. Most of these immigrants didn't cross the southern border. Most of them flew here from Europe and Asia with visas to take highly paid jobs for which they are better qualified than many American victims of failed systems like homeschooling.

It just fits in with the widely observed truth that well-educated people in the middle-class don't vote Republican anymore.

I'm glad you had fun in the Mojave Desert... It's a beautiful desert and a wonderful retreat from the nasty world. It's also a retreat from the civilized world, normal culture and some think, the law. That place is the home of many meth labs, religious cults and human traffickers.

Since you are a self-admitted racist, unwilling to be part of a civilized society, maybe you should check in with a realtor there.
