Have you ever authored a post without trying to cloak your massive insecurities with insults? Where did I ever promote open boarders? That is what's called a polarized argument. I MUST be painted as having an extreme position to buffer your extremism.
Would you object to you and people who LOOK like you being targeted, stopped and harassed by the police, by LAW? Targeted, stopped and harassed solely because you LOOK like you could be guilty? If that is your definition of 'common sense' then why aren't you a big fan of Woodrow Wilson or FDR who you regularly chastise for rounding up certain people? THAT'S different?
Here are some real words of wisdom for you...from Thomas Jefferson and Edmund Burke.
It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.
Thomas Jefferson
It is more dangerous that even a guilty person should be punished without the forms of law than that he should escape.
Thomas Jefferson
"What is true of every member of the society, individually, is true of them all collectively; since the rights of the whole can be no more than the sum of the rights of the individuals." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1789. ME 7:455, Papers 15:393
"To unequal privileges among members of the same society the spirit of our nation is, with one accord, adverse." --Thomas Jefferson to Hugh White, 1801. ME 10:258
"The most sacred of the duties of a government [is] to do equal and impartial justice to all its citizens." --Thomas Jefferson: Note in Destutt de Tracy, "Political Economy," 1816. ME 14:465
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.
Thomas Jefferson
Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe.
Edmund Burke
Among a people generally corrupt liberty cannot long exist.
Edmund Burke
Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.
Edmund Burke
It is not what a lawyer tells me I may do; but what humanity, reason, and justice tell me I ought to do.
Edmund Burke
Justice is itself the great standing policy of civil society; and any eminent departure from it, under any circumstances, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all.
Edmund Burke
No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.
Edmund Burke
One that confounds good and evil is an enemy to good.
Edmund Burke
People crushed by laws, have no hope but to evade power. If the laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to the law; and those who have most to hope and nothing to lose will always be dangerous.
Edmund Burke
Toleration is good for all, or it is good for none.
Edmund Burke
1. In a vast and deep history of erroneous posts, none reveals the depth of lunacy as well as this one:
"Have you ever authored a post without trying to cloak your massive insecurities ..."
Insecure???
Me????
You have no idea how much time I spend wondering why there isn't an action figure of me yet!
2. "Where did I ever promote open boarders?"
By throwing every possible roadblock in front of attempts to make it difficult for illegal border-crossers to simply blend in to the population, that is promotion of open borders.
You don't fool me PC. You are a product of a very strict authoritarian upbringing. You are an authoritarian, it is all you can ever be.
So, if you and everyone who LOOKS like you was being targeted, stopped and harassed by the police, by LAW you would be fine with that? A simple 'yes' and you win the argument...go for it, it would be a first...
1. "You don't fool me PC...."
Everyone fools you!!!
How many times did Lucy pull the football away and watch you go flying???
2. "... if you and everyone who LOOKS like you...."
Hey...you've been peeking at my profile pic???
3. Let's be honest. A post where you pretend that you can guess about anything that requires insight.....well, that's clearly beyond your limited ability.
