I Pledge Allegiance to the Tribe

If they are going to intervene they should, it is a separate question whether they should consider intervening or not but there would be a better argument for them than for a state.

So they should do a cost-benefit analysis in deciding whether to intervene?

Because the state will damage its own people as well as the targeted country, private volunteers will not.

Right, mercenaries cannot - as a matter of physics - harm anyone.

In considering whether to send mercenaries into an area, it would be outrageous to do a cost-benefit analysis.

That would be tyranny.

If it is determined that they should even consider intervening.

Right, mercenaries cannot - as a matter of physics - harm anyone.

They will do harm to their target, they will not harm their own people as the government would.

If it is determined that they should even consider intervening.

And how's that determined? Coin flip?

And how's that determined? Coin flip?

Philosophical debate.

[pcosmar]

Yes it does, and I have many times.

Long ago this government lost my consent.

Which is why we must peaceably separate, before war breaks out and God knows how many millions die.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

I have lost what little hope I had in correcting the Federal Beast,,

I do retain hope for pockets of Liberty to remain,, in various and wide spread places.

Economic Collapse,, Civil War...or Natural Disaster.. Any would have the same result.

I am in favor of the Yellowstone Caldera.. as it has a divine judgement aspect.

No pockets will remain if the invaders are allowed to come in unlimited numbers.

Ye of little Faith.

There is always a Remnant.

There is always a Remnant.

I have faith, faith that GOD will help us to stop the invasion.

[The Rebel Poet]

No, SS already addressed this.

Import collectivist statists, get more statism.

Because leftists and leftarians suffer from xenophilia, they have an overpowering desire to import the foreign whether it makes any sense or not.

Can someone tell me who is doing all this importing? Is it GM? Chiquita? Vandelay Inustries?

[The Rebel Poet]

From what I have seen there is an irrational love of foreigners as well as an irrational hatred of their own countrymen, many of them actually want the foreigners to destroy their countrymen for them.

This is ridiculous; everyone who disagrees with how you want to do things isn't just dumb or hateful. Is this really the level of discourse and logic we are going to accept?

Catholic Charities.

Soros funded one world groups.

Koch Bros. and various open border groups they fund.

The US government.

All of these entities, and more fund, promote and facilitate massive immigration, both legal and illegal.

Their reasoning varies, depending on who you ask: some want cheap labor for business and industry, some do it out of religious zealotry, some do it to overturn, replace and displace the existing population and it's institutions and traditions, which they hate. There are other, lesser reasons, but those are the biggies.

Why is this such a hard concept to grasp?

Nobody disputes it when it happens inter-state, when places like Austin get "Californicated" for instance.

It's not a hard concept to grasp.

It's a hard concept to accept. Doing so requires a person to throw his philosophical arguments against the wall of reality to see what will stick, and it is downright frightening to confront the very real possibility that they won't. People can build some pretty damned strong intellectual bunkers when their ideas are threatened.

Did I say everyone?
