I once saw someone suggest that if CWII ever breaks out, the first place they’d raid is the local offices of the DSHS or the county housing authority. They’d get the lists of people on food stamps or Section 8, go to their locations...and shoot them. Every man, woman, and child. No matter their color. The rationale was that the ‘parasites’ have to be eliminated, not by making them work for their food, but because they were “a drain on resources and utterly incapable of usefulness to society”.

Please tell me that isn’t what YOU are advocating. I think that anyone who wants that is mentally ill and needs serious psychological help.

I would suggest that a moral nation has an obligation to come to the aid of children who are fleeing grave danger.

They aren't fleeing ANY danger. That's why they are quickly being brought to relatives already here. This is called "colonization".

It is in utter opposition to the Reagan/Kemp brand of optimistic conservatism that helped transform the world.

Uh, isn't Matt Lewis a Democrat?

To paraphrase Reagan...

Ahem...

It doesn’t matter what I do or do not advocate. I’m not worried about shooting all of the parasites at the outset as the bulk of them will eventually perish from their own ineptitude.

If they want to survive, they need to simply work for their existence, be that hunting and foraging or whatever else is necessary for them to live without forced handouts from others. I expect no less from myself or my progeny.

I also don’t have a problem with rounding up illegals and ejecting them from our nation. Give them whatever is necessary to survive their journey to their homeland and be done with it.

Hard hearted? Perhaps. Life is hard, and this brief interlude of civilization has been given to us by those who have sacrificed and suffered in much worse conditions than those we currently endure or have endured our entire lives.

To continue a civilized society we cannot travel upon our current course.

Actually, now that you mention it, I would absolutely have little to no desire to shoot the parasites.

Why?

They will continue to be a drain and anchor upon those who I most likely will be fighting.

Consider that.

Where’s the compassion for American citizens?

Man, just exactly how many Democrats have infiltrated the GOP ranks? At least now they’re being exposed.

And I’m tired of conservatives acting as if we live in a world of limited resources, where we are all fighting over a small piece of the same pie, instead of realizing we can grow that pie. This populist rhetoric is the talk of defeatism, of fear, of scarcity. It is in utter opposition to the Reagan/Kemp brand of optimistic conservatism that helped transform the world.

Bringing in masses of unskilled, illiterate, disease-carrying people is not my idea of growing the “pie”. Don’t these idiots ever learn? How is this going to transform the United States Matt? Turning us from the most prosperous country in the world to a third world, debt-ridden wasteland is not going to be beneficial to anyone. Stupid RINOS!
