What's so bad about that, you ask? Well, currently Puerto Rico pays no income tax, while reaping virtually all the benefits of statehood. That's one big reason the islanders have voted against statehood several times.
The Progressives are agitating through their numerous front groups for Puerto Ricans, for illegal immigrants, for ex-convicts, and for residents of Washington, D.C. to push for voting rights. And it begs the question, who would be the primary beneficiary of those votes? (Of course, there are "front groups" on every side; but which are trying to defend America, and which are trying to weaken it?)
The new Mexican-American War? Anyone not living in a cave or getting their news exclusively from MSNBC and their ilk knows that there is a war going on at our southern border. Mexican drug gangs are quickly turning into major power players ("do as we say or we'll cut your family's heads off")south of the border, and thugs are now making military-style incursions across the border into our own country. While their hit-and-run attacks don't always go as planned, Tucson, Arizona has become the No. 2 kidnapping capital of the world. Fed up with these foreign incursions, kidnappings, tortures, murders, and the utter non-response of the federal government, Arizona finally took matters into their own hands and enacted a law allowing police to arrest ILLEGAL aliens. The law doesn't specify race or point of origin, and should be a model for other states, since we seem to be under a subtle attack from many nations, as well as from our own government and social elites.
As must now be expected in an age when sanity has been displaced as the ruling thought process, mobs of people are trailing behind Al Sharpton and other race-baiting, opportunistic miscreants to shout down the AZ law. The obnoxious Left is raging against the law, falling back on their usual meme of calling supporters racists or "Nazis".
Every time you hear someone on the Left call a conservative a Nazi, know that it is evidence of how deliberately crappy and indoctrinational our non-educational system has become. I mean, how long has it been since a teacher actually taught that the term "Nazi" was a German contraction for "National Socialist"? In truth, one of the primary and most effective (against an uninformed populace) weapons of the insidious Left is their skill at accusing their enemies of their own sins. I believe the term is "guilt transferrance". It is the way that liars typically win arguments, and how evil governments rewrite history to make themselves look like heroes, and make the good guys appear to be the bad guys. Want examples? Compare American history textbooks from a century ago to those in use today.
OK; we have radical Muslims around the world and in our own country attacking us verbally, politically and violently. Those within our borders enjoy the protection of our legal system, with (former) combatants and terrorists living the fat and lazy life in our prisons as they proselytize and recruit the lame-brained and disaffected among us. Our valiant CiC treks around the world apologizing for America while conveniently leaving out all the things those countries should be thanking us for. Meanwhile, a Christian minister is dissed because he dares to imply that his religion is superior to another one...one that urges its followers to blow themselves up to get virgins in the afterlife, that treats its own women as slaves, that shows no mercy, and that pledges to enslave, torture and kill anyone who will not submit to it. Have I got that all straight?
Honestly, what kind of preacher would Rev. Graham be if he didn't believe his faith was superior to all others, and have the courage to speak it plainly? Better yet; when was the last time you heard a Muslim cleric claim that Christianity was as valid as Islam? Yeah; thought so.
