“Speaking of reading, try reading the responses.”
Of course I read the responses. ;-)
I am still inclined to think that you did not read the entire article. ;-)
Nope, didn’t waste my time since I and most anyone with a brain understood decades ago a never ending conga-line of millions entering a country illegally will eventually destroy the country. This is not complex.
You read the rest of it for me. Thanks...
Because once the borders are open then those 20 million become 100 million and we become mexico.
They read one sentence of an article, got called on it, and had to double down. That's all. Don't worry. Some understand what a rhetorical question is.
That didn't sound like the John Di Leo I've read and enjoyed.
Good article in the end, but I think you got too clever by half.
If 10 percent of my neighbors were illegals, I’d grab some neighbors, rent a bus, hold a blanket party and they’d wake up back where they started.
Aw shucks. Thanks, friends!
I was just concerned that, as you said... perhaps I got “too clever” for myself....
Ah well.
In journalism school, the idea is drilled into you that you must use the pyramid style, and always assume that the reader won’t read the next line.
Then when you start writing columns, you throw out that rule, figuring that people will read the whole thing, so be clever, be interesting, be thorough, etc. and sometimes I go too far with it, I suppose.
Thanks, patriots!
You gotta read...
Well I got it.
BTW, I did not realize you were the author. If I had I would not have been quite as harsh.
This would have been a great article 25 or so years ago. If people by now still do not understand how this has negatively impacted this country in every aspect, they never will IMO.
Heh heh... I have a thick skin. Don’t worry about that part... and I was probably a bit harsj there myself!
I just need to know, as a writer, what works and what doesn’t, so that I know what to try, and what not to try, next time.
It’s all a learning experience. We’re trying to get through to the folks who don’t yet understand; we can’t give up on them, because, darn it, they have the vote too. So we have to teach them. (even though we may be utterly baffled as to why an issue is hard for them!)
The discussion just got more and more weird until it wandered into a fever swamp of its own making. Of course the huge and swelling population of illegal and undocumented immigrants has become the overwhelming social and economic problem of our time, particularly affecting almost every facet of life in that territory once known as “the United States of America”.
We have a Current Occupant now squatting in the White Hut that promised to “fundamentally transform America”, but the fundamental transformation did not start with him, he only took advantage of a tide that has been rising for more than a century, beginning with the Progressive movement prior to the Great War, “a war to end all wars”, a crisis that was much too good to waste.
And waste it they did not. The old system of nation-states that kept a sort of continuous tension between competing royal houses was replaced with a new system of competing economic philosophies and/or ideologies which generated their own continuous tensions, and did not respect national boundaries or ethnic differences.
After a few years, I saw most of those people as frauds and supporters of this epic invasion. Ya see lots of people benefit from it and or have conflicting interests.
Cheap labor, bigger profits and votes, regardless of consequences, are the only values some people have.
They're selling out generations of Americans for their own self interests.
Good luck.
As dragnet2 wrote, it would have been a great article 25 or so years ago. Or even 10 years ago.
A great column today, addressing those who don’t yet understand, would be based on http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3262408/posts?q=1&;page=63
That would be a follow up that should get some attention.
I saw that. Not surprised one bit.
I have no doubt it’s a conspiracy to flood this country with foreigners, illegals etc. None of this is an accident.
There are several motives for doing this. Most include money/profits, power, votes, to destroy nationalism, destruction of borders/sovereignty, divide the united, and the desire to have a less educated, easily appeased populace.
and to leave no doubt in anyone’s mind that our American Culture has no place in a world defined by all that you have already noted.
And since we’re discussing that which is obvious to most here I might as well add, it’s all happening as we watch.
Great read.
You did a GREAT job, at least for anyone with an IQ over 92!
KIND OF LIKE HITLER AND HIS LITTLE “JEWISH PROBLEM” - just one issue...
