RE: U.S. Citizenship
I'm OK with most of the Bill of Rights being applied to everyone in the U.S. Freedom of speech and assurances that you can't be unlawfully detained are good for everyone. But I think the right to bears arms should be extremely limited to non-citizens. There are people from other countries that are here working and have been for years that I understand may have a desire to have a handgun for protection, just as I do, and that would be OK. But to allow handguns to anyone in the country that doesn't have an arrest record? Not a good idea.
There are a lot of 'not a good idea' subjects out there. Seems Democrats are short sighted. The irrational, popularity decisions have short term, if any, positive affects on our country. Seems they get caught up in the moment and forget what their real job is. Represent constituents (voters, elector). Guess that is why they want anyone and everyone to vote.
Think about it. If there is someone new in the country they probably don't speak good english. They fall for the party that claim they will give you anything you want. For the life of me I can not understand why groups like Hispanics, Jews, and Catholics would ever consider voting for the Democratic Party. The belief systems are so at odds with each other.
For the Hispanics, many of them want to work in the US to send money back to the family to help them survive. If when we go down for vacation, people from the US would get away from the tourists areas they would see that many people in Mexico just want to survive. None of the policies of the Democratic party produce jobs and the encouragement of illegal immigration only works to hold wages down, hurting all of us, not just the immigrants wanting to help their families.
For the Jewish community, look no further than how the Democratic Party treats Israel. Obama and the Democratic Party are antisemits. Obama, with the approval of the Democratic Party (since they defended the action) spent US taxpayer money and labor to try to defeat Netanyahu in the last election. Why would anyone support a political organization that is against the very basis of your existence.
Catholics. John F. Kennedy was the last great Democratic president we had, and he would not be welcome in his own party today. JFK was the President that invented Reaganomics, not Reagan. When tax rates for the wealthiest in the country were at 90+%, Kennedy recognized that these were the people that were generating jobs in the country. The more money these wealthy get to reinvest the better it is for the rest of us. If you disagree my feelings about Kennedy, look at abortion. If your are voting based on the Catholic religion, how can you support the stance of the Democratic Party on abortion. It's just freaking unbelievable!
Oops, sorry about the late night rant. What you said just hit a nerve, well, maybe three nerves and I am not getting started on African-Americans tonight. The leadership of the Democratic Party, and I want to make it clear that I mean the leadership and not the average Democrat on the streets, has become deranged enough to the point they will not support any idea out of the Trump administration or the Republican Party in general. They are currently working against OUR country to further their own interest, and those interest are not in the average American's favor.
Hope I struck a nerve and didn't get on your nerves.
I have a tendancy to get on peoples's nerves when I don't let a subject go. Personality flaw? Lol
As I have no solutions I can only support our party to the fullest. If Republicans can prevail and when Trump gets his second term I am hoping the Democratic Party, such as it is today, is basically a thing of the past.
In the meantime awareness, practicality, success, consistency, education (it would help if they taught the Constitution in schools), and Republican turn out to vote will have to carry us through.
Your late night rant should be taught in schools as well. We've wiped out, ignored, twisted and changed history to suit ourselves. Taints decision making of our young.
Sorry for the early morning rant. 😊
You just struck a nerve. I just can't understand why people don't examine their own values when deciding how to vote. The press doesn't help. They should go back to reporting the news and stop telling people what they should think about the news, or at least present both sides of an argument versus just brainwashing people into liberal attitudes.
