“It’s astonishing to me that some people who are supposed to be conservative think losing our sovereignty is a grand idea.”

They’re folks who haven’t read a whit of history.

The main reason the Roman Empire fell was uncontrolled immigration, not necessarily “barbarian invasions”. The Visigoths, the Ostrogoths, the Vandals, the Franks, and others didn’t technically invade the Empire, they simply headed west when they were chased out of what would now be modern day Russia, Poland, and Germany by the Huns. The Romans didn’t really care at the time, because they turned the Germanic tribes into slaves and soidiers. That turned out to be a disastrous mistake for the Western (Latin) Roman Empire, as one of these Germanic solidiers, Alaric, turned his legion against the Empire and sacked Rome in 410 AD after a two year siege. The Huns did the same in 455 AD. The final emperor in the west, Romulus Augustulus, was thrown off the throne in 476 AD, ending the western Roman Empire.

Something to consider as the Wizards of Smart in Washington debate crap like the DREAM Act.

Indeed. They do not realize the ultimate consequences of their push to bring down our country.

Hey, guys? It’s your country too, and you will not escape the “S” when the SHTF. Are you completely certain you and your family have a seat on the train to Utopia?

Do try to remember that yours is the party of lies and liars. Are you sure you’ve been told the truth? You shouldn’t be...
