To this day when people learn I'm Canadian, Americans ask me "Does Canada have a Fourth of July?"
My deadpan response is "Yep, right after the third and just before the fifth."
You should read the article. It's not about military contractors or our out sourced wars. It's about all the various law enforcement agencies within the country. Basically there are more cops outfitted like Marines than there are Marines.
We're in an arms race. The more the civilians buy better weapons, the more the government buys better weapons. This in turn is followed by civilians buying even more weapons. Basically, we don't trust our government and the government doesn't trust us. More specifically, the government works to maintain the upper hand, but since the government is made up of citizens, the bureaucrats may be shocked one day when their soldiers refuse to follow their orders.
If you are referring to refugees, I agree tend to agree with you, especially as the Muslims are concerned. If you are talking about Hispanics, I used to believe that too, but 25 years in California have shown me that they assimilate pretty much as other immigrant groups have. The first generation tends not to really get the language thing and tend to congregation in communities, but the subsequent generations are unremarkably American. This is no different from the Italians, Poles, etc.
That said, we still need to fix immigration and do something with our porous borders. We should only be accepting immigrants who can contribute and not be a burden.
Umm... that's kinda dumb. You did vote for some kind of creature that either does, or does not go along with the usual suspects. The person you voted for may not have won (mine never, ever does) but your state and your district is represented. If it's not going the way you want, you have to convince your neighbors and others in your district to come around to your position.
America worked because the society was defined on certain principles and people arrived in dribs and drabs and assimilated.
If a majority of citizens feel that the Federal Government is tyrannical and doesn't serve them it will likely cease to exist. People elect the politicians in this country. to some extent that' s what you're seeing in Trump. and outsider, "burn the house down" candidate. If people all feel the way you do he'll not only get elected POTUS, but he will not be the last.So the individual doesn't count, only the collective. Well, I shouldn't be surprised.
Thankfully very few people feel as you do. Wyoming has a shade over half million people in it. There are more than that in my one-horse town.
You make no sense. I'm not going to waste my time with your dribble.
Wyoming is part of a much larger nation. Wyomingites have to abide by Federal laws just like the rest of us.
Take Trump off prompter and he's not a dunce, he's a delusional madman.No, he's a pro at brand promotion.
His entire life has been about selling his name and reputation...
One does wonder how Armani managed to get someone to pay $12K for a potato sack with sleeves.
Worn in a speech discussing "income inequality."
Charity watch is pretty good, I've used it for some time. If you have suspicions I'd' love to see the documentation. Given all the falsehoods and vitriol being spun this election season I think it important to document such accusations.
I thought it was meandering and way, way over the top. Indeed, the saddest thing is he had really good substantive charges to make. But instead of making them in a clear and coherent fashion he used over the top rhetoric that was so off base that he lost the original, and very reasonable accusations.
I also think it wonderfully ironic that all the GOPers complained that Obama always used a teleprompter, and that we could do naught without it. So what does Trump use in his big speech? You guessed it, a teleprompter. Not that I criticize him for it, I can't blame any politician from using notes, indeed its a pretty good idea. Just that he did the thing that Obama was so badly criticized for.
