I never thought that Hanson would ever criticise illegal aliens. Of course, he's right, but in his high visibility position he is painting a target on himself, both physically and politically.

But I suppose reason must eventually override the instinct to go with the familiar, to go along to get along.

Thanks for the ping!

VDH *bump*.

I like this notion of High Liberalism.

He even wrote a book about it: Mexifornia.

Where he lives, he observes all dynamics of legal and illegal immigration, and knows what he is writing about from experience, not from what others say. And yes, the left does not think much about him. Their loss, if the don’t want to listen...

"...Instead it becomes the logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. Communism, or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite." - Gary Allen, None Dare Call It Conspiracy."
I read the book when it first came out. But alas. Many laugh off ideas of one world conspiracy. I for one, don't.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

It's no longer just a "theory" in a book....
Obama is their puppet and front man, tapped to impose the Fabian Socialist
and population control agenda. His own "science czar" (Holdren) has
spoken and written openly in the public record of doping the water supply
with anti-fertility sterilization drugs for depopulation.
Those who continue to try to pooh-pooh this, now ALL out in the open,
as a fringe "conspiracy theory" are the wacko nutjobs.

Obama is the tool, puppet, Manchurian Candidate, and front man of powerful,
super-wealthy, Malthusian anti-Christian secret societies, power cabals, and
megalomaniacs who seek to impose socialism, global population control, and
eugenic ethnic cleansing. They provided the funding, training, and phony
affirmative action Ivy League academic credentials to sell this clown to the
dumbed-down public as a political utopian messiah.

[Marine_Uncle]

I’m with you on your replies.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

There must have been a few nods, nudge nudges, and winks
when Obama joked about it being a "Bolshevik plot."
Similar formula, method, and agenda, different organization.

But whatever happened to their Swine Flu game?

[Marine_Uncle]

I cannot repeat the swear words and other gross language as I spat out a mouthful of food watching the moron box during world news when he spoke it.
And in the end analysis the clown may be found to be more ***ked up then some young female drug addict. And sooooo easily used by those that started to infiltrate with Trotsky and his crew back in the twenties.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

He looks and sounds like he is reading CliffNotes and cue cards
his handlers have given him to read off that teleprompter.
Not sure he even understands half of what he says and signs into law
and executive orders for national policy. Just based on his arithmetic on the budget, Harvard and Columbia should be sued for certifying him with degrees.
This is a trainwreck brought to you by Ivy League Affirmative Action, Soros,
the Council on Foreign Relations, and the secret societies and power cabals
backing him. Even Democrats and Independents are figuring out it's a bad joke
and jumping ship.

What's left for the analysts and policos to figure out is how they got the electorate
into the Stockholm Syndrome situation and mentality to welcome this clown
as their messiah with hysteria and swooning previously reserved for Elvis,
the Beatles, and cult leaders. Only to find out it was all just a Ponzi scheme and
hoax their grandchildren will paying off for their entire lives.

[Marine_Uncle]

Your analysis is hard to dispute not that I would try since I am on the same band length.
