Spin Zone / Re: In 40 years this country will be unrecognizable

This phobia of third world migration is partly why conservatives struggle. Yes, they speak a different language when they show up. Some of my relatives spoke German and French. Two generations in and we barely even know how to say hello in French, or German. The same appears to be happening with the Latinos.

The problem isn't that there are lots of immigrants, the problem is immigrants have a hard time identifying with conservatives and threads like this illustrate why. Not a lot of love for them. Just talk of walls and bitching about them.

The conservatives, whether it be GOP or some other pure group, will have a near impossible time of it because they can't even win over majorities of white and black voters that were born here and have been here for generations. It's too bad conservatives can't get it together because the Latinos, particularly Mexicans could be a much easier sell then many other immigrants. They very much respect the self reliant cowboy ethic, they are great entrepreneurs, they are largely all very Christian and they have a long history with firearms ownership.

Unfortunately, many view them as untrustworthy, lazy parasites and that image couldn't be further from the truth. Clearly they are trust worthy because they make up more and more of work crews everywhere. They show up on time, work all day and don't steal any worse than any other group. Clearly they're not lazy, you see groups of them hanging around in parking lots of Home Depot looking for work. Do you see whites and blacks doing that?? No! They also circulate the neighborhoods leaving business cards for landscape and other manual labor services.

Are they really parasites? They do take advantage of social services whenever they are eligible and they pay taxes. Long term unemployment is not as socially accepted for them as much as it is for whites and blacks. They have community pressure to get a job and get to work. They do have a lot of babies, just like their Bible and their Pope tell them to and these babies can be a drain on social programs. Large families are a cultural norm for Latinos and this only changes with time and education, particularly education of the women.

I personally think the GOP is blowing it big time by not courting the new Latino population, but how can they when their base is so hard on them and all about building walls?
Whether you are intentionally playing the word games of the left, or unintentionally because it has been so ingrained by the left and its complaint media, you are facilitating the misunderstanding of conservatives.

Conservatives welcome immigrants. Conservatives know that they are the lifeblood of the country. But we also know that immigrants need to benefit the United States, and that we are not obligated to become the welfare state for the globe.

What we despise is illegal immigration, a word that you conveniently omit from your analysis. Why is that? 

Illegal immigrants' first act when coming to the US is to break our laws. That doesn't bode well for remaining lawful once they are in country.

Conservatives also don't buy into the WSJ/Chamber of Commerce narrative that illegals are needed because they are doing jobs Americans won't do. Bullshit. If we need temporary agricultural workers, set up a LEGAL guest worker program to handle that.

I prefer to call it "caring".

By the way, why to you (or anyone for that matter) give a shit whether "the government" cares?  I don't think its the governments job to help build your self esteem.  How about minimizing government intrusion in your life so you can more freely pursue the thinks that make you happy?

Does he?  We know he loves Trump.  We here that all the time.  We also know that he wants to "Make America Great Again." 

But since running for president, has he ever, even once, spoken about freedom, liberty, American Exceptionalism, or adherence to the Constitution?  Honestly, I have never ever seen that.

Many, many people thought Obama loved his country - I mean, who would run for president if they didn't?  But we have seen that he doesn't, and is endevouring to make fundamental changes to her.

Anyone who was paying attention knew that Obama hates the idea of America. All you ha to do is read his books and see who he associated himself with. Trump is obviously for the Pursuit of Happiness.

At the very core of this idiotic, bullship, transgender, nonsense, is the real agenda, which is to legally invalidate the first amendment. Once courst find cracks through which they can exclude your beliefs based upon utter nonsense like refusing to be bullied by idiots into agreeing that a man must be allowed to undress and relive himself in the presence of your young daughters, and/or wives, and your objection to it is declared to be a religious position, by the same imbeciles on the courts who think the Second Amendment was meant to only be about hunting, the First Amendment starts to collapse, and the progressive bullies move instantly on to taking away other first amendment rights, which IS the agenda.
Liberals seem to hate religion, and religious people as a general rule, which is consistent with the communist party agenda, which seeks to replace faith in God, with faith in and adoration of, the state.
Liberals took over education during the sixties and seventies when going to college to become a teacher was another automatic draft deferment. Liberals are using the education system to bully youngsters into believing their progressive crap, and it has moved right into the university system where the snowflakes have been convinced that if they see a chalk mark with Donald Trump on it, they are in 'danger,' and in 'pain.' It is absolute nonsense, spawned by the progressive bullies, and allowed by the rest of the country because we have been beaten down by the labels progressives hurl at us to avoid intelligent discourse.

Well, that is a bit of a compromise.  I don't know enough about the whole process, but that might be workable.

I still like the idea of more single occupancy unisex bathrooms.  Solves the problem and they are safer even for us how have "F" on their birth certificate.

So, the taxpayer is now on the line again to pay for the transformation of all public...and private toilets in the country to single occupancy facilities....to accommodate a very, very, very small segment of the population.  This makes the Americans with Disabilities Act look sane by contrast.  Nowhere in all of this discussion is there one iota of common sense.  The lunatic left fringe continues to win the cultural war because most of the population is unwilling to challenge anything they demand for fear of being called undesirable names.  Someone recently said something to the effect of, "The culture degradation war has been won by the far left and now they're going door to door shooting all that opposed them."   This is effed up.  And the sad part is, when the population has finally had enough the pendulum will swing very hard in the other direction of intolerance, and the idiot brigade won't understand why.  The left keeps demanding compromise but allows for none in these matters.

Well, that's nice of you, but the NC law makes no such distinction as to whether someone has been "treated for the gender issue."

That is one major problem with the law as it would make it illegal for a post-operative person to use the restroom of their now physical gender.  That could lead to dicks in the woman's room.  Of course, since the 4th Circuit just ruled a similar law unconstitutional in Virginia, the NC law might be a dead letter.

As for a woman in the men's locker room, I don't feel as strongly about that. There is much less predation of women to men than men to women.  Rape is the most vile of crimes, and is almost always attributed to men raping women.

I don't think most women think rape is the most vile.  Close, but most of us would rather be raped than murdered if it came down to a choice.  Too frequently we got both.  That is one reason I am such a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment.  It can give me a better chance.

Unfortunately for the progressives mental cases to win, everything that anybody holds dear must be torn down and destroyed, to be replaced by conformity to the progressive mental illness, and faithfulness only to the state. These people relish destroying anything that makes anyone else happy, because progressives appear to be congenitally unhappy, and the most jealous people on earth, needing to attack and destroy any form of happiness, because it offends their selfish selves.
This is empirically true; the unhappiest people I meet, and friends I have known for years, are almost to a person far left leaning, and seem to have been born destined for unhappiness. 

Well, and why not?  In their world, nothing can be right or wrong, except that which they declare to be right or wrong, and they tend to declare "wrong" the things that lead to happiness.  You know, things like keeping sexual activity in marriage, keeping basically any natural impulse in context, raising children to be mentally healthy, independent adults, looking at the larger picture, thinking through cause and effect, understanding what freedom really means, on and on.  This latest attempt to skew laws (and restrooms, for heaven's sake) toward mere fractions of the population is just the latest thing ... now that they've redefined marriage FOR EVERYONE, they have to redefine TOILETS for EVERYONE, creating a bizarre chain of totally predictable results that throw the whole experience of going to the bathroom into chaos. 

Nuts.

Now the Jesus Lunches are drawing protesters, who are supported by the "Freedom from Religion" foundation.

What the fuck is WRONG with people?  Why can't the left live and let live, and allow these people to have their good and wholesome lunches and discussions on their Christian faith in peace? 

The left is destroying this country.  There is NOTHING good to come from protesting these lunches, except to to drive faith into the shadows.

I have no idea what that evolution would look like, but yes, I think if we were to evolve, it would likely be the end of borders and private property. It would also likely be the end of many of our emotions, such as envy, hate, jealousy, rage. It would be the end of insecurity as well as the "alpha male". It would be a very, very different world, but a world of peace.

I believe, like many science fiction writers, that one day in the future we will become clever enough in our knowledge that the option of evolving into a different being will be before us. The question then will be, will we be willing to let go of the animal in us for the sake of moving forward as a unified group? I doubt there will be a unanimous answer to this when the time comes.
I think Darwin disproves your theory. That's a serious statement.

Now for a slightly less serious point:  I think your evolution of getting rid of the "alpha male" has already begun, ironically with the male millennials wearing skinny jeans and generally acting effeminately. Throw in the designated hitter and pink shoes in the NFL, and all hell is breaking loose.

arguably, that 84% overun might be less than it would have been otherwise.

 An over run is an over run.  When you have these so called fiscal conservatives running the show and engaging in this kind of behavior it just goes to show it's politics as usual. 

 Both parties are bought and paid for, and must now service their masters.
