    True. You don't back up claims with facts all that often- just toss out a few cliches. "Commies!" "Hordes!" "Invasion!" I am the one who does that.

    Be afwaid! Gobernment will save you!

    Immigration causes socialism, but the U.S. allows more, yet becomes more socialist more slowly.

Aren't people supposed to be free to decide what customs, traditions, institutions, values, and ideals they have for themselves, as individuals? Why would you attempt to argue that those things should be decided on a collective basis, isn't that a socialist argument?

    Government should make everybody the same. Wait- that would be communism.

    Liberty is custom, a tradition, a value and an ideal.

    The legitimate function of government is to protect liberty.

    You argument that people must be given the freedom to violate our liberty would be funny if it wasn't so deadly serious.

    More cliches but,

    Liberty means you are free to practice your own values, customs, and ideals. And others can practice theirs. If everybody must have the same ideals and customs, that isn't liberty.

    If your values are true, somebody else cannot take them from you.

    What if a government decided that you were the one with the wrong ideals and wanted you to change to join the crowd? Would you be calling that liberty?

    The definition of liberty is that people are prevented from engaging in tyranny and I absolutely want government to restrict people from engaging in tyranny.

    Liberty is liberty, government enforcing it is a good thing, government failing to enforce it and suppressing it is a bad thing.

    Morality isn't relative, I am right and my enemies are wrong, the legitimate purpose of government is to impose right against wrong on this subject.

    More cliches but- "I am right and my enemies are wrong" is used to justify tyranny.

    That isn't liberty. The Communists were good at that.

    You are the moron trying to justify tyranny by gutting the definition of liberty.

    Useful idiots? Really.

    A very real problem, one that does not get the attention it ought to get is, we have domestic enemies, mostly socialists and communists, who are hard at work to destroy American and the flame of freedom it represents. They have realized they cannot overpower America by force and have resorted to other tactics to destroy us, one tactic is to flood our country with the poverty stricken, poorly educated, low-skilled, disease carrying and criminal populations of other countries.


    Make no mistake. There is a very real war taking place on American soil.


    JWK


    There is no surer way to weaken, subdue, demoralize and then conquer a prosperous and freedom loving people than by allowing and encouraging the poverty stricken, poorly educated, low-skilled, criminal and diseased populations of other countries to invade that country, and make the country’s existing citizens tax-slaves to support the economic needs of such invaders.

    You need a new playbook with more accurate definitions (assuming that being factual is actually a goal for you).

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/liberty

    Definition of liberty (Entry 1 of 2)
    1 : the quality or state of being free:
    a : the power to do as one pleases
    b : freedom from physical restraint
    c : freedom from arbitrary or despotic (see DESPOT sense 1) control
    d : the positive enjoyment of various social, political, or economic rights and privileges
    e : the power of choice
