Re: Anastasia Ocasio-Cortez
I don't why the “F” KG thinks Socialism, in the vein of Marxist revolutionary theory, will work this time. It's absolutely mind boggling how Leftists want open borders or unfettered immigration. The hate Leftists have for this country and American culture is unhinged. I don't get it, but there it is, day after day, Buzzfeed link after Buzzfeed link.

Re: Anastasia Ocasio-Cortez
Ocasio-Cortez is a liberal in the vein of the New Deal who calls herself a socialist because that's now a popular label for that type of thinking among young progressives. She comes across as a flake, which makes her chum in the water for the press. The idea that this she's the tip of the spear for Marxist revolutionary theory is just asinine. And the ironic effect of that kind of ignorant red scare tactic is it opens the door to actual Marxism as people become numb to the difference.
Relatively open immigration is, well was, a traditional right wing policy back when conservatives believed in economic liberty. But that's neither here nor there, as opposing this administrations extremely draconian approach to immigration, or the propaganda that underlies it, doesn't make you an advocate for relatively open immigration. The Ajax style of argument where unless you favor the most vicious response possible to an illegal act then you favor that illegal act continues to be a fallacy even before you get to legal asylum seeking not being illegal.
Unless police have authorization to shoot jaywalkers on sight, then we do not have a nation of traffic laws. Uh, no.

Re: Anastasia Ocasio-Cortez
On an aside, it's very, very hard for me to get up in arms about Ocasio-Cortez being shallow in her understanding of economic implications of policies she favors when I'm being implored to by people in a cult of personality towards a president of the United States who is a Being There level moron if you replaced the platitudes of a gardener with that of a mobster.
She's a single rep from a liberal district who fairly accurately represents the views of a constituency I happen to disagree with. My capacity to care about that exists in proportion to how much influence she has, not how much the political press wants to use her as a prop.

I don't know why the “F” Doctor Cam has turned into such a damned moron. EA hit the nail right on the head. Who gives a crap what this relatively harmless and insignificant woman says? And only the morons on the far right really believe the word "Socialist" in these contexts refers to the Marxist crap that keeps you up at night. The biggest mistake people like Cortez and Sanders have made is underestimating the abject stupidity of folks like Doc and Subs. They don't want to know what they mean by Democratic Socialism. They just don't care. They're only interested in scary sound bytes.

How many people have had to go through legal immigration processes, and these people just took a huge crap on them, our laws, and spit in the face of their Mexican hosts?
Hey, Kevin Graham. Have you made you made your way down to the border to hand out water bottles like you said you were going to do?

There is nothing illegal about traveling to a country to apply for asylum. Blocking them from doing so is illegal you daft prick. But good to know your on the side of evil here. “F” those women and children, right? They're just "invaders" right? Just props for a leftist agenda. What a disgrace you are as a vet.

So stable...
KG makes the best argument against Leftist ideology by simply posting. Good job, Water Boy!

Re: Anastasia Ocasio-Cortez
Hey Doc
It's way beyond mind-boggling. It's lunacy.
It's gone way past unhinged (unhinged would have been a relatively accurate adjective several months ago) - The leftist hate for America, American culture and other American citizens is extremely deep and it's growing with each passing day.
It's everywhere. Not just Buzzfeed links. Its literally everywhere and it has completely eliminated what were once fairly common attributes found in the great majority of adult Americans - Common sense.....Rationality.....Balance.....Critical thinking.......etc
YMMV

Re: Anastasia Ocasio-Cortez
Open borders is a position held by few people, and of those people who hold it, a good chunk of them are classic conservatives who believe that freedom of movement across political boundaries outside of some exceptional circumstances produces prosperity and respects individual liberty. This was the dominant view in America and its policy until racist fear of Asians motivated some race-based immigration restrictions starting in the late 1800's. State control of people's movement is, after all, traditionally associated with more statist political points of view. As used in our current political discourse, it's almost entirely a strawman position to characterize anyone who opposes someone else's highly restrictive or punitive approach to immigration policy. The majority of people, including people on the political left, favor some form of restriction towards immigration. CATO has a lot of hearts and minds to convince at this point.
The notion that unless you favor, say, putting children in concentration camps, that means you don't really oppose illegal immigration is too stupid to be anything but a lie. What we call "illegal immigration" is a minor misdemeanor. There's a range of approaches to curtailing this that you can oppose that doesn't tell us if you fundamentally favor it or not.
Yes, leftist hatred of America is clearly demonstrated by [checks notes] agreeing with the Statue of Liberty.
