Its so painful to watch conservative attempt to be 'smart'. Conservatism is the modern attempt to make selfishness noble. I forget who the quote comes from but it strikes at the heart of it.
Boats coming from Cuba? Yeah I don't see many boats coming from Sweden, or Switzerland, France, England, Australia. Conservatives always gravitate to any SINGLE example and then conflate the example as "see, this one example proves all of what I say is absolute truth". But it doesn't.
Later they are talking about religion, conservatives in fact lump all Muslims together as terrorists and the religion as evil. No critical thinking at all. They get to this point by pure gut-level fear reaction.
There are estimated to have been 40,000 religions, big and small, in human history. Probably 4,000 big and small on Earth right now. People from EACH of those religions claims theirs is THE TRUTH, and all the other 3,999 are falsehoods.
Where is the 'real' truth? Belief does not create reality. It is merely an interpretation of reality. Don't believe in gravity? Step off a cliff and you will find your belief is not reality.
I see we have another anthropogenic climate change proponent in the house.
