See, that’s the problem with y’all, you are so concerned about what the rest of the world thinks about us and I just can’t figure why. The rest of the world wants to be like the USA. People are doing all they can to get here. I could really care less what any of those pompous asses think.

I don’t know why but that made me belly laugh!!!!

Ok genius, I will answer your question. The thing about tariffs and a trade war is that both sides hurt from it. Just like a physical war. Sometimes it’s better to come to terms other than total surrender. I realize you can’t appreciate anything that trump is trying to do because all you can do is h**e. The tariffs are detrimental to the US, but sometimes you got to Hirt a little to make things better long term.

I’d like to see a source on that one!!!!!

I have used both battery powered reciprocating saws and grinders. Yes, they are able to cut metal and concrete, however neither would be efficient at cutting either, especially big enough to drive a van through. Now that said, trump may have said the wall be virtually inpenetrable, but we can all agree that he says a lot of things in a grandiose way. The fact is, walls are a deterrent and are effective. Our government wastes SOOOOOOOOO much money on SOOOOOOOO many ineffective projects that I believe spending money on this proven effective means to CONTROL immigration at our southern border is money well spent. Notice I didn’t say anything about ending immigration.

No I am not saying that at all. I am just saying how many people try to enter our country every month. Many are “seeking” asylum. That is the number coming thru check points. That doesn’t include those sneaking across. Now it seems that you are trying to show there is no issue with immigration at our southern border but even the democrats say now that there is an issue. You will remember AOC went to the border and called it concentration camps and people were drinking out of toilets. All debunked of course. Is am saying you belief that most i******s in this country are because of overstaying work visas is wrong and you bought a lie somebody told you hook line and sinker.

You are deluded. I don’t know any conservatives that are against immigration. Only against illegally entering. Quit arguing the wrong argument.

Your math REALLY sucks!!!!!!

Problem with your argument is that there are 100k coming across the border every month so those here illegally are not majority by overstaying work visas. There are some but nowhere closer we to majority.

I thought the same, but I also know that just because someone comes in across southern border doesn’t mean that’s where they are from. Just saying.

My honest opinion is that long before a billion people come here illegally we would be in shambles and the government wouldn’t be able to pay all that stuff if they are even in tact at that point.

I feel like you get the second amendment so it probably doesn’t make a difference to you. However, there is a major debate on what the intent of the second amendment is. Many use the statement about a m*****a to say that the second amendment doesn’t give the right to all citizens to own “military” grade weapons but that the m*****a-national guard, standing military only should have them. They say our founding fathers felt like normal people can’t control themselves enough to be able to handle the responsibility and that it needs to be regulated by an all good guberment that only has your best interests in mind and will always do what is right.........sarcasm for sure. That is why people talk about that comma, saying the amendment protects both things. It is true that some wanted a strong guberment at that time, but there were many others who understood the nature of man and his lust for power. All you have to do is look at what many of the prominent patriots words at the time to know what they meant. Here are a few quotes.


“I ask who are the m*****a? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers.”
– George Mason, Address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 4, 1788

“The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.”
– Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, 1833

“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb v****g on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the v**e!”
-Benjamin Franklin

“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”
– Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776

“What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms.”
– Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, December 20, 1787

“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.”
– Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28

“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.”
– Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787

“As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms.”
– Tench Coxe, Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…. The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.”
– Patrick Henry, Speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 5, 1778

“Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?”
-Patrick Henry, Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution

“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
– Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776

“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated m*****a, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.”
– James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789
“The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms, like law, discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The balance ofpower is the scale of peace. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside. And while a single nation refuses to lay them down, it is proper that all should keep them up. Horrid mischief would ensue were one-half the world deprived of the use of them; for while avarice and ambition have a place in the heart of man, the weak will become a prey to the strong. The history of every age and nation establishes these t***hs, and facts need but little arguments when they prove themselves.”
– Thomas Paine, “Thoughts on Defensive War” in Pennsylvania Magazine, July 1775

“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of s***es.”
– William Pitt (the Younger), Speech in the House of Commons, November 18, 1783

“A m*****a when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… “To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.”
– Richard Henry Lee, Federal Farmer No. 18, January 25, 1788


Now I can’t claim credit for finding these. I think it was Blade that posted them on another thread a while back but I saved them cause I thought they were interesting.

The nature of man has NOT changed!!!! The people must have the ability to resist. Holding hands and singing kumbyya is great but, really, in the end, freedom is obtained and kept at the end of a gun.......

It has been explained to you 500 times on here what the founding fathers meant by the second amendment so no reason to hash this out again. The founding fathers knew the nature of men and knew that given power they would want more and more and more. The every yahoo with a gun is a deterrent to complete despotism whether you will admit it or not. Now you might argue that the military would wipe the floor with all the yahoos and you might would be right, but judging by our experiences in Vietnam, I don’t know about that. Plus you gotta get the military to work totally against the poeople and I don’t think that’ll happen either. It would be disastrous and bloody and that is what makes it a deterrent. Now if y’all would quit confusing kids about morality and start raising your children to have respect for other people and the law and start practicing the tolerance y’all talk so much about but rarely act it out, I bet you would see many of the mass k*****gs and gun related crimes decrease.......

But you keep telling yourself that our guberment gives one rats ass about you and they have the intelligence and moral compass to herd us all they way we need to go........

Fundamentalism:

often capitalized : a movement in 20th century Protestantism emphasizing the literally interpreted Bible as fundamental to Christian life and teaching

Evangelical:

: of, relating to, or being in agreement with the Christian gospel especially as it is presented in the four Gospels



Your “Christianity” and what a true Christian are are definitely two different things.

“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:19-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬


A true Christian by default is a fundamentalist and an evangelical!!! It’s that simple. Jesus Christ was both!!!!

You say you don’t h**e Christians and yet EVERYTHING you post is an insult to Christianity. You haven’t the foggiest idea what a Christian is or is not. You only commit out of your Maputo what suits your narrative. You are quite a piece of work.
