What does factual have to do with bigotry? Here let me show you something... This is a quote from the dickbag himself...

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists." - Donald Trump.

1. Mexico doesn't "send" ANYONE. The immigrants are operating on their own free will.
2. He is making a reference to an entire group of people and he is implying that they are ALL rapists. That is not a fact, but it *IS* bigoted. He is implying that they all bring crime. That is NOT a fact either, but it *IS* bigoted.
3. He is implying that they have lots of problems. That *IS* a fact and it's also bigoted. It's a fact because it's problems like poverty and danger that brings them here in the first place, it's bigoted because his intention isn't to understand the problems but to encourage fear and loathing toward them.

We are the nation with a giant statue that says “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” That means people with problems. If we want to build a wall then we should take the Statue of Liberty down because all it represents now is a lie.

Wrong.

Banana Republic is a term that was first coined in the 1920s to describe the Latin American countries that fell under the control of pro-US dictatorships that forced the people to stop producing food for their own needs and to use all their land to produce bananas for export to the U.S. market, which in turn forced them to import staples from the U.S. at a much higher cost. That's the part you apparently didn't know about. Of course in many of these countries the people didn't stand for it and it led to efforts for land reform which were defeated by the dictatorships that were being supported by U.S. government, sometimes to the point of sending in the Marines. During the Cold War, the Soviets offered the people the only recourse they had against an oppressive U.S. policy. That's the part that probably caused you're misunderstanding.

just to be clear... banana republics are pro-US. The revolutions against them were pro-Soviet.

That's how drastic your misunderstanding is.

Well, , , would I be a bigot if I said I will v**e for Mr. Trump because we are both White Males? Well , , , , would I? I am pretty damn sure I would be called a bigot. Now if you are some other persuasion other than White Male and you v**e for a candidate because that person is not a White Male then you will never be called a bigot.

Samuel L. Jackson, the famous actor, excuse me, the famous Black
Actor said that he v**ed for Barak Obama because he was Black.

Hillary openly uses her g****r as a campaign issue as if g****r is a qualification to be President. Those who only v**e for Hillary because they want a woman as President will never be called bigots.

The usual liars, like the fools at fox, fat limbah, the trump organization and especially the i***t manafort, are busy whipping the egg off of their ugly faces, since a trump "speech writer" has admitted that she "cribbed" lines and passages from Michelle Obama's 2008 speech. During a phone conversation with millennial trump, she heard the millennial one gush over how great the Michelle speech was, and how she admired the content of the speech. That was all McIver needed to plagiarize key lines.

To her credit, McIver offered to resign for being a plagiarist, but true to form, trump refused to accept her resignation, showing once again his complete failure to make decisions, even when his wife is getting bashed, and the media continues to run with this story.

Of course, the usual OPP i***ts, who know absolutely nothing except what they get from the fools at fox, rightwingnut media and trumps paid liars, refuse to admit that trump was wrong.

Oh well, it is a god given right to be stupid and ignorant, and conservatards prove it daily.

I am just going to write in a name for President I cannot v**e for Trump or Clinton. Just look at what Trump has said things like, “I will surround myself with the best people.” Just where does he stand and how do we know he will keep with what he says?

We already know what Hillary Clinton will do she will keep the ACA, she will tax those evil corporations and those rich people even more, she will raise the minimum wage to fifteen dollars per hour and cause prices to go up and increase unemployment, she will put as many liberals in the Supreme Court as she can, she will open up the boarder so anyone who wants to can come in whether they are terrorist, or just poor old thieves who have to steal, rape, murder, kidnap, and rob for a living not to mention take jobs from legal Americans. So we know Clinton will continue to run the United Stated into a third world nation and grow government to the point it is out of control.

So why should I v**e for Trump when Hillary has so much to offer?

What has Trump offered to do if elected? The answer is dumb policies like securing the borders, promoting trade deals that are fair to both the USA and the foreign nations, appoint fair and conservative Supreme Court Justices, improve the Veteran Administration, give the military what they need to succeed in their efforts to defend the nation, cut taxes on corporations to promote job growth and economic development, reduce taxes on middle and lower class workers.

How does he think that if he appoints the best people to the cabinet and other offices, to offer advise, which he will listen to, and act accordingly will achieve results?

If you want to turn the United States into a third world nation with total government control then keep your stubbornness and write in or v**e third party and turn the nation over to the likes of Hillary Clinton. By golly that is what I am going to do you betcha that for sure. I mean who knows what a Trump Presidency will do.

Keep America in the gutter where we like it v**e for Hillary Clinton → 2016 but never Trump.

I spent some time looking at building a $6 to $10 billion wall that most people that have any common sense will not work when all you need is a shovel and your in. If they can't climb over it they just go under it. Stopping drugs is foolish build a wall they will just find another way to get the drugs in. A tunnel is no big deal.

So I found an article based on Republican talking points which I will quote the article as the republican myths. It took time to fact check and only use the points that I know to be facts.

Myth #1 IMMIGRANTS ARE OVERUNNING OUR COUNTRY AND MOST ARE HERE ILLEGALLY
In 2007 when Bush left office I remember him and Cheney saying that there was 12.5 million i******s in this country and we don't know who they are, where they are, or what there doing. But that was 8 years of Bush.
But in 2014 there were approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants living and working in this country, which is a significant decrease from the 12.5 undocumented immigrants in 2007.
Today the number of people entering the US illegally minus the number being deported amounts to a net zero under Obama. Undocumented immigrants makes up 3.5% of our total population. But regardless today legal immigrants only make up 13% of the total population. But throughout the history of this country since we started documented this issue from 1900 to 1930 immigrants made up between 12% to 15%.

Now more than 60% of immigrants have lived here 15 years or more and a large majority already have legal status. So of the 13% a large majority already have lawful status and close to 47% are already naturalized.
Now we have classification lawful permanent residents (green card holders)then we have temporary visas such as ( student visas, work visas, refugee and people seeking asylum made up the other 53% of immigrants.

All documented through the Department of Immigration.

So the Trump theory there just flowing across our borders is another Lie that will get exposed.

Myth #2 IMMIGRANTS BRING CRIME AND VIOLENCE TO OUR COUTRY.
As per Trump immigrants are k**lers and rapist this is exactly how the right wing creates low information v**ers. But regardless of where these immigrants are from, what status they hold, how much education they have completed are less likely to commit violent crimes. Now as per the Chamber of commerce that documents these problems while overall percentages of undocumented and legal immigrants in the US has increased between 1990 and 2010 crime rate has decreased by 45% and property crime rate dropped by 42%. There has been no correlation between crime rates and levels of immigration. Other studies outside the Chamber of commerce have shown crime rates are lowest in States with highest immigration growth rates.

Myth #3 IMMIGRANTS HURT OUR COUNTRY FINANCIALLY BY TAKING JOBS AND SERVICES WITHOUT PAYING TAXES
Immigrants actually help to create new jobs, in addition to buying American and local products, which help create jobs. Immigrants actually start there own businesses. States with a large number of immigrants report lower unemployment for everyone.

Immigrants pay approximately between $120 to $140 billion each year in taxes and the study also calculated the number of undocumented immigrants alone paid approximately $11.8 billion in fed taxes. They also pay sales taxes, property taxes, they purchase homes.

Myth #4 I*****L I*******TS ARE COMING TO THE US TO OBTAIN WELFARE
the studies have shown that on average immigrants pay more in taxes then they receive in benefits. The taxes they pay more than cover the cost of education and healthcare.
Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for any public benefits such as SS, Medicaid, food stamps, and most lawful immigrants with lawful status are not entitled to these benefits until they have been in this country for 5 years or in some cases longer and they have been working leg,ally and paying there taxes. This means that SS is being deducted from immigrants pay checks just like all Americans but they cannot in any access these benefits.

Myth #5 IMMIGRANTS ARE COMING TO THIS COUNTRY TO HAVE BABIES
IF people were coming here with the express purpose of having children. We would expect to see at least the same number of women as men. There are many more young men than women. They come here to work pay there taxes which they have no avenue to collect benefits and send the money home to there families. They cannot even partition for green cards until these kids reach the age of 21.

Myth #6 IMMIGRANTS ARE BRINGING DISEASE INTO THE US
There is absolutely no evidence that immigrants have been the source of any modern outbreaks in the US. According to the World Health Organization there are a 113 countries around the world that have a higher v******tion rate for 1 year olds than the US. Mexico for example has a 99% v******tion rate, Guatemala, Honduras, and EL Salvador have a 93% v******tion rate the US is at only a 92% and the vast majority of immigrants are screened.

Myth #7 TERRORIST ARE INFILTRATING THE US BY CROSSING THE BORDER OF MEXICO
The department of homeland security has said that individuals that have ties to ISIS have been apprehended at the border is categorically false, and not supported by any credible intelligence or facts on the ground. According to state department, Bureau of Counterterrorism, there are no known terrorist organization operating in Mexico. But facts show vast majority of US residents linked to terror since 2002 are in fact US citizens of the lone wolf terrorist.

Myth #8 ALL UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS SNEAK ACROSS THE MEXICAN BORDER
The right wing leads you to believe these people are crossing our borders, 50% of undocumented immigrants in the US have overstayed there visitor status, student, or work visa's that means they entered this country legally set up by Ronald Reagan but Reagan never put in any avenue to get them out and this has been going on for 35 years. Obama has tried to get the republican congress to address this but they do nothing so building a $10 billion wall is the GOP answer.

Myth #9 BUILD A WALL WHAT A JOKE
According to Homeland Security who did an extensive study a wall would be impractical and ineffective. And it will not stop an illegal coming to this country, we already have fences and they don't work. The border is 2000 miles long it spans difficult terrain, including deserts, mountains, rivers flow along two thirds of the border. Not to mention much of the area is privately owned, which the government would have to buy the land, and many are not selling, the logistics of building this wall is very difficult if not impossible. Just the litigation alone would take 15 to 20 years and who gets the water rights along the border which side to you build the wall on.

But I can imagine the insults thrown at me by you right wing low information v**ers that think this wall will work but just a little bit of incentive and a GD shovel your in.

Depressing article for me.

Many people are puzzled by the clear rejection of scientific principles
embodied in the arguments and the literature of the g****l w*****g
enthusiasts and other proponents of the l*****t/collectivist agenda that is so common today and has come to dominate the college campuses. It is particularly difficult to reconcile the academic establishment’s espousal of free thought, academic freedom, and diversity with their actions that are clearly aimed at suppressing these very things.

But all of these disparate elements are nicely tied together in a brilliant
article by Professor Thomas DiLorenzo. He points out that when
institutional Marxism imploded in the late 80s/early 90s, the academic Marxists did not admit defeat but rather sidestepped into passionate environmentalism.

Instead of justifying central government planning and control in order to benefit “the people” they simply substituted “Mother Earth”. They could easily make common cause with the environmental movement because both groups shared an essential hatred for human beings. DiLorenzo goes on texplain how adherence to this ideology necessarily led to an opposition to science and the imposition of a rigid academic orthodoxy that all but obliterated the diversity and freedom of thought that they professed to support.

But rather than attempt to repeat what Professor DiLorenzo wrote I would simply urge anyone who is interested in understanding how much of this came about to read the linked article.

ONE RESPONSE TO “SHEDDING LIGHT ON SOME OF THE IDEALOGICAL ORIGINS OF
ANTI-SCIENCE”

Allen Brooks | October 20, 2015
“Saving the planet!” are the 3 most dangerous words in any language.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The New Cultural Marxism and the Infantilization of College Students

By Thomas DiLorenzo

October 19, 2015

When socialism finally collapsed all around the world in the late ‘
80s/early ‘90s the academic Marxists did not just throw in the towel and face reality. Indeed, not one of them has ever apologized for providing intellectual support for some of the worst mass murderers in world history – Stalin, Mao, Castro, and the rest of the c*******t / socialist gangsters. Instead, they reinvented themselves in several different ways, including posing as “environmentalists,” and as “cultural Marxists.”

Taking their cue from socialist economist Robert Heilbroner in a September 10, 1990 New Yorker article entitled “After C*******m,” many Marxists began promoting socialist central planning of the economy and of society as a whole (a.k.a. totalitarianism) in the name of “saving the planet” from capitalism. The old Marxism was sold in the name of “the people”; the new Marxism said “to hell with people, we’re for the ants, the lizards, snakes, rocks, trees, etc. – Mother Earth. People Schmeople. Hence the “watermelons” were born: green on the outside, red on the inside.

The cultural Marxists take a different approach. They replaced the
Marxist theory of class confict between the capitalist “class” and the working class with a new set of classes. Now the supposed eternal conflict is between an “oppressor” class and an “oppressed” class. In essence, the oppressor class consists of white heterosexual males. The oppressed class is everyone else. Armed with this new totalitarian ideology, egalitarianism is still the secular religion of the academic Marxists, with “diversity” being the mating call of the modern academic administrator.

Now that the cultural Marxists are in charge of so many colleges and
universities, they no longer even pretend to defend academic freedom and free speech. Silencing dissenting opinions (to Marxist totalitarian ideology) is now taught to students as the only moral position.

One of their gurus is the Marxist intellectual Herbert Marcuse, who has been called “the evangelist of cultural Marxism.” He is of course a “celebrated intellectual” who has taught at Harvard, Yale, and Columbia Universities.

Marcuse first became famous among academics in the 1950s with his book, Eros and Civilization, in which he advised young people to “don’t work, have sex.” (It apparently never occurred to him that the two things are not necessarily mutually exclusive). This was in keeping with the hoary Marxian theme that all work is s***ery.

Marcuse also taught that science and the scientific method is “the enemy” for it “denies the reality of utopia,” by which he meant c*******m. In today’s world, we see this same idea expressed by the watermelon socialists when they use the quintessentially unscientific language of “settled science”in reference to the g****l w*****g h**x.

Science is never “settled.”

If it were, it would still be “settled science” that the world is flat.

Settled science watermelons like Al Gore are the new flat earthers.

Marcuse also opposed freedom of speech, which he said was a tool of “the oppressors” since it was responsible for too many criticisms of c*******m.“ There is no need for logic, debate and free exchange of ideas,” he said, for c*******m supposedly “provides all the answers.” Certainly libertarian or conservative views should not be permitted on campuses since they support “the status quo.”

Only the “oppressed classes,” as defined by the cultural Marxists, deserve tolerance, preached Marcuse; all others deserve intolerance, and students must be indoctrinated in this thinking, he said. All of these things are now, and have been for a long time, common features of academe.

In addition to Marcuse, the work of law professor Catharine MacKinnon, the high priestess of cultural Marxism, also inform today’s university administrators and their cultural Marxist faculty. Dissenting views (to their verision of totalitarian Marxism) threaten to create a “hostile work environment,” she says. And if the work environment becomes so hostile that it interferes with work effort, the source of the “hostility” should be fired.

Thus, if a libertarian or conservative academic should somehow sneak by the university interviewing committee and become employed, and then reveal himself to be a dissenter, he can always be fired – even if he has tenure – under the guise of having created a “hostile work environment” with his dissenting views about free speech, the Constitution, free-market exchange, or Heaven forbid, gun ownership.

According to Catharine MacKinnon, the new mantra that should be taught to children is: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words are infinitely worse.”

Cultural Marxist academic administrators lie through their teeth when they make speeches or write articles in the university alumni magazine praising academic freedom. They are lying because they supervise a strict censorship of dissenting views at the same time. One method that is used to achieve this is to declare that “insensitivity” and “hurt feelings” are caused by dissenting campus speakers.

For example, when Dr. Walter Block was maliciously libeled by the president of Loyola University Maryland, one Brian Linnane, several years ago, the mechanism of libel was textbook cultural Marxism: the Marxists on campus sent one student to Dr. Block’s invited economics lecture with instructions to complain to them later that something he
said was “insensitive.” Brian Linnane then sent an email to all students, staff, faculty, and alumni apologizing for the “insensitive” remark while never mentioning what the remark was.

In fact, what Dr. Block said was a very mainstream idea in economics –that wage discrimination based on g****r or race penalizes discriminating employers in a free-market economy. It does so by providing a profit opportunity for the discriminating employer’s competitors. For example, if in my accounting firm I discriminate against a woman who generates say, $100,000/year in revenue for me by paying her $50,000/year while paying equally-productive male employees $90,000/year, a competitor can hire her away for say, $60,000 and make $40,000 in profit.

Eventually, I will be left with all higher-paid male empoyees which will
reduce my profitability. The same story goes for employer discrimination based on race.

The cultural Marxist mantra, on the other hand, is that capitalist America is such a hopelessly r****t and sexist society, that only the “legacy of s***ery” and the white male “war on women” are permissible on college campuses as the one and only causes of male/female or black/white wage differences. Anyone who shows up on a college campus who says otherwise is not to be debated with logic and facts, as Marcuse said, but libeled, smeared, and called a r****t and a sexist.

Most American colleges and universities take their cues from the Ivy League schools, such as Brown University. According to a March 21, 2015 article in the New York Times, the cultural Marxists at Brown set up a “safe room” whenever a renegade student organization invites a non-Marxist speaker to campus. These rooms are filled with cookies, coloring books, Play-Do, calming music, pillows, blankets, videos of frolicking puppies, and “trauma experts” according to the Times.

This is the business that most American colleges and universities are in these days: the infantilization of college students. Faculty are instructed to place “trigger warnings” on their course syllabi warning students that a disseting (to cultural Marxism) opinion may be found there. Safe rooms are set aside just in case.

Students are routinely taught to boycott or disrupt any campus speakers who dissent from cultural Marxist orthodoxy, and to participate in vicious, malicious campaigns of character assassination orchestrated by faculty and administrators.

Cultural Marxism may be bred in academe, but it has spread throughout society. When Rush Limbaugh attempted to become part owner of an NFL team the cultural Marxists lied, as they routinely do,
by spreading the false rumor that he “defended s***ery” on his radio program!

When the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. sponsored a public debate on immigration policy, something Americans have been doing since the Louisiana Purchase, inviting both sides to air their views, the hardcore left-wing h**e group, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), accused AEI of “mainstreaming h**e.”


The SPLC routinely conflates mainstream organizations like AEI with say, the KKK, by using the same language of “h**e” and “h**e group” to describe all of them.

When Rand Paul first ran for the U.S. Senate the SPLC issued a “report” on “dangerous characters” running for state and local political office.

Next to a photo of a genuinely crazy-looking neo-N**i from the mountains of Idaho was, naturally, a photo of Rand Paul. When a group of military, police, and firefighters pledged their devotion to the U.S. Constitution by creating the group, Oathkeepers, the SPLC also branded them as a “h**e group.”

And when Ron Paul was running for president the SPLC talked the Department of Homeland Security into issuing a public warning that people with “Ron Paul for President” bumper stickers were potential “terrorist threats.”

The heavy-handed, totalitarian censorship that now exists on most American college campuses is so ingrained that comedians Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld no longer perform on college campuses. Too many students have been turned into dour, humorless, left-wing cultural Marxist scolds in the image of their professors and university administrators.

One thoroughly-brainwashed twenty-year-old even wrote a letter to Seinfeld, whose comedy television show was the most successful in all of television history, on the “proper” way to perform a comedy routine.

In his famous book, The Road to Serfdom, F.A. Hayek presciently described the effects of this kind of censorship under totalitarianism in a chapter (11) entitled “The End of T***h.” Such propaganda in a totalitarian society is “destructive of all morals,” wrote Hayek, because “it undermines one of the foundations of all morals; the sense of and the respect for the t***h”(emphasis added). Moreover, “in the disciplines dealing directly with human affairs and therefore most immediately affecting political views, such as history, law, or economics, the disinterested search for t***h cannot be
allowed in a totalitarian system . . . .

These disciplines have . . in all totalitarian countries become the most fertile factories for the official myths which the rulers use to guide the minds and wills of their subjects.” This of course is what cultural Marxism and political correctness are all about: spreading Official Myths to promote a totalitarian, socialist society.

“The word t***h itself ceases to have its old meaning” in such a society, wrote Hayek, for “It describes no longer something to be found, with the individual conscience as the sole arbiter of whether in any particular instance the evidence warrants a belief; it becomes something to be laid down by authority. . ” and “ intolerance is openly extolled.” Herbert Marcuse could not have said it better.
