“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Radical MultiCultural Stupidity
"The common curse of mankind, folly and ignorance."
Shakespeare's Thersites, "Troilus and Cressida" (Act II Scene iii)

Pick your poison: Open borders OR the Welfare State? You CAN'T have BOTH.
The death of conservatism came when we stopped fighting to abolish the welfare state and started fighting to keep the Mexicans out of "our" welfare state.
Good points, beamish. But one can hardly expect people who have spent their entire lives forcibly "paying in" to the existing welfare Ponzi scheme to all of a sudden elect to jetison the program the minute that they are set to finally "collect". I personally have contributed the max amount for most of my working 41 years (16%+) to Social Security. It's not my fault that the govies spent it all on lawyers for illegal Mexican kids. My votes were only successful in electing RR and GHWB. Blame me for those two Leftist a-holes. I wasn't around in the 30's/40's when the Ponzi scheme was started.

Along with far left whackos like Ronald Reagan that wanted to talk to the Russians instead of nuking them.

errata - 'being forced to pay in' for 'forcibly "paying in"' above.
