I don’t want or need ‘pure’. I just don’t want pro-open borders, pro-illegal alien, pro-amnesty Mitt Perry.
Well, Reagan was horrible on every single immigration/border issue. I know that doesn’t help.
I just wanna get rid of our golfer-in-chief!
See now the high minded moderates who demand and required those so called 'single' issues voters, 'pro-lifers' to vote for their chosen candidates had to come up with a new pejorative to call the hicks from the sticks.
The pejorative 'purists' came about back when President Bush was pushing his compassionate conservative theology over amnesty. So rather than just be liberal about calling US that are against open borders for the gated communities they settled on the term of 'purists' to put us down and in our place.
It is probable that the trails, paths and superhighways of spreading communications since the epithet was born that many have as the majority tends to do taken up using the pejorative as their only means to feel like they have put somebody that disagrees with them under foot.
