Why could the Pigrims, Puritans, Founding Fathers, and a host of others carve out a nation and lay the foundation for the greatest nation ever known to humanity?
If migrants, machismo or no machismo, can accomplish just about anything they set their minds to, why can't they seem to harness the abundance of natural resources, minerals, etc, found all over Africa and throughout Central and South America, and create thriving societies?
Why could the Founding Fathers throw off the then most powerful military in the world but migrants cannot seem to throw off the corrupt governments they are said to be fleeing from?
And why don't liberals return with them for a time and season and help forge great nations if they truly care about them? Wouldn't liberals want others to do the same for them?
I don’t quite get it. Did our founding fathers overthrow king George?
Remember, we’re could have.
I see what you’re saying but this is full of holes.
You don’t know why? White colonialists robbed Africa and the indigenous people of America of their natural resources.
Africa used to be as advanced as Star Trek the Next Generation. The problem was their peaceful nature left them ill equipped to defend themselves. Fact: the word “war” did not even exist in any African language until it was introduced by the white man.
Because it’s easier to get into public housing and then get on the dole?
Because their “countries” don’t have a race card to nuke their opponents with. They can only pull their crap in the U.S. where they can make Caucasians tremble every time they open their big mouth and throw the race card. Omar could play the race card all day long in her beloved Somalia and it would mean nothing. She’d probably have her head removed from her shoulders.
Like your post.
One is less than half.
Every election, there are a large number of Democrats and other leftists who promise to renounce their United States citizenship and travel to other countries, if the Republican candidate is elected. Few ever do. And this is a problem.
With a limited number of credentials and checks, any citizen should be able to *easily* “self deport” for good.
1) Proof of identity.
2) List of US fixed and fungible assets, in which the former must be sold before leaving.
3) Background check to insure no outstanding criminal warrants, liens, or felony convictions. (A new type of simple pardon is needed exclusively for renunciation of citizenship.)
4) Letter of acceptance from a foreign nation.
5) I’m sure there are a few more requirements.
But all told, the permanent renunciation of citizenship should be very easy, and just take two or three days.
Each year, only about 5,000 renounce. President Trump should do his level best to streamline this process so that Democrats who are particularly hateful should be able to leave for good before they run out of rage and have second thoughts.
Really? The Pilgrims did that? I hadn’t realized that they settled all of the original Thirteen Colonies.
Because some don’t care if they live in a shit hole country note south America,it’s like a homeless person it’s a way of life they give up no spine to fight for what is the right way to live.
Same for the middle east stagnant for thousands of years.
Our population cannot absorb the >100mm who want to come here. Not this fast.
Right on. Is that you, President Trump?
Unfortunately, they want to get free stuff.
Well there’s intrinsic IQ and then there is a kind of IQ which increases with learning and experience. Many migrants are of the second kind and many do seem to smarten up over time at least the legal ones.
With practice, anyone can ace those spatial tests on the IQ tests therefore causing their measured IQ’s to show a rise.
Because they’re controlled by socialists.
I’ve often wondered just why did Bush invade Iraq and Afghanistan??? Yes, the prevailing justification was (non-existent) WMD’s in Iraq and Afghanistan was somehow connected to 9-11 (when Bin Laden could have been taken out by the CIA). But in reality, what were these two countries, as countries, doing to directly harm our country?
Take Mexico with the flooding of illegals and the drug cartels. Mexico is a very corrupt place from the government on down that is directly harming our country.
If we are in the business of invading and then rebuilding countries, why not clean up our back yard?
You forgot your sarcasm tag.
(if you did not intend it to be sarcastic then you need to know that Wakanda is make believe. Sorry for the spoiler))
Because BOTH parties want to use them to fundamentally transform THIS country.
“maybe we can call it ‘nation building’”
It would be nation building as an act of defense against an invasion of people forced out of unlivable conditions.
Instead of an invasion using guns and bombs, it’s using a flood of people that will destroy our economy and way of life.
Because it has NEVER been about natural resources. Japan has ZERO natural resources... Africa has every natural resource known to man...
So, what is the difference? (and no, it's NOT that Colonials 70 years ago bought the resources cheap or just 'took' them. That's the silly answer.)
Why? How? What's the magic?
The magic is culture... Period. Culture that allows freedom of opportunity for all and a legal system that protects that equally. Africa fails because it's corrupt. Japan succeeds because it functions under a protected rule of law and a sane culture.
People might be equal - but cultures are NOT equal - some are superior to others...
