I have more conservative in me. Granted... Socialism great idea, but in pure sense... Will always get spoiled. Seeing my what my father is going through with the VA system... I am even rethinking why a total socialized health system would be bad. Not that a socialized isn't working great for my father the last 50+ years, it is. I can just imagine how everybody would wreck it. This is why we can't have nice things in this country... Why pure socialism wouldn't work. It’s the boomer ex-hippies I’m talking about.

My parents. Didn't fall for the counter culture trap because they were already raising a family... Yet, sympathized with the era. Of course it's instilled in me, I am their kid... I am liberal too. Yet, I could support Bernie, but would be very cautious. Another con man like Trump? I guess that's how my parents viewed the hippies, counter culture. Same with my 80 something inlaws. They are glued to CNN, MSNBC, etc... /smh... The Lost Generation is dying off though... Very few hold any power. Anyway... Interesting topic. Ideologies are blurring as much as they are polarizing. As a Bernie supporter, my son has a very conservative streak in him that frightens me. I probably shouldn't have sent him to Catholic school. The worst kind of liberal. The Purple on the electoral map is expanding! But... We'll never vote Red. Blue Dogs all the way. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind. https://www.hrw.org/news/2016/07/07/us-deaths-immigration-detention# … Funny........................no uproar back then .....huh ? Father of 7-year-old who died in CBP custody says agents did everything they could to help her, has no complaints . , Sir, excuse me — but President Obama was black. Do you not understand? He’s black and so he’s not racist. Those deaths were accidents or just interned sick people who were gonna die anyways. When a a person dies on Trumps watch it’s because of his final solution.

He makes his point rather inelegantly, with an angular harshness which makes the reader dive head long into disagreement; but it's one of the few opinions he has which I actually agree with. The franchise should not be viewed as a right, but rather a privilege earned. While there is no moral standing to denying someone the vote because of their color, race, creed, sex, sexuality, or any other immutable characteristic, there is a compelling moral argument to be made for restricting the pool of individuals who have a say in the size and scope of government to those whom have a direct stake in it's expansion. My proposal would be an end to all birthright citizenship, regardless to nation of origin (including the US); and to institute a citizenship test composed of questions about US civics and history, basic economics and household finances. I would couple that with an absolute demand of being a property or business owner (I'm flexible and would listen to other means testing, including being a net federal tax payer), or military service (reasonable accommodations made for the disabled).

There was a reason it wasn’t in the bill of rights and it ain’t because it slipped their mind. Also, may I point to the decline of the British Empire after enfranchisement. But I’m sure the people who disagree with me are familiar with that and have studied it. 10 minutes ago, Buffalo_Gal said: Me? Especially you.
