Inherent in understanding "Liberty," is understanding human priorities. American history demonstrates very clearly that even in the traditional Anglo/Celtic American societies, there was a wide variation on what the libertarian priorities of different settler communities involved.

Most of the later immigrants--from whose ranks this Ohioan has sprung--prior to the closing of the frontier, shortly before World War I, had a large proportion who identified with some of the values of the original settlers. Since the closing of the frontier, that proportion has dropped considerably. Ignoring the variations, and particularly the racial aspects in some of those variations, is simply to ignore reality, at your peril.

Jefferson acknowledged to Congress that he bought Louisiana as a buffer between the Hispanic & Anglo worlds. Looking at events in Southern California the other day hardly refutes the wisdom of the author of our Declaration Of Independence. It is not disrespectful to anyone to understand that we are all different--some more so than others.

Until you recognize that even adhering to your particular priorities will lead to quite different behavioral expressions, depending upon the personalities of the actors, you will fail to understand the importance of carefully vetting whom you allow to join our established & already over-crowded communities.

Did you read the last paragraph I wrote?
Much of the crap that happened in CA is precisely because the government aids and abets the alien invasion. Moreover, as part of their aid they essentially prohibit the vetting of newcomers by communities/cities.
