President Trump proposed a merrit based system, but it ACTUALLY INCREASED the number of Legal Immigrants.
I was three in 1980; that being said the Reagan presidency was disastrous for America- permanent and catastrophic demographic change, creeping statism, and dog-eat-dog capitalism that hollowed out the industrial and ethical core of our nation- and for what? A hollow “victory” over the Soviet Union- far from being one of the best President’s as GOP heterodoxy maintains he was one of the worst, as was every one of his successors, until President Trump.
No, Bush isn’t interested in enforcement at all, he wants to give them goods and services! Like father, like Son.No other thought is coming into his head, but how “ bad” they are treated.
I don’t go quite that far, but the right is long overdue for a re-assessment of Reagan and Thatcher.
Reagans’s failures - Financialization, deindustrialization, Hedge fund economics, Amnesty, mass immigraion, gun control, NeoCon foreign policy delusions, Messianic propositional citizenship. NAFTA. All those things were long term disasters. The wins - victory in the Cold War and disinflation weren’t permanent gains
Thatcher- a lot of the same, but instead of NAFTA, wildly empowering the EU via the Single European Act. Only wins were disinflation and getting the unions under control
What Neo- Con delusions?
Sigh… someone dug up Samuel Morse… again.
Britain was lost the second Atlee took office, though the roots of UK demise were laid far before then. As with Trump in America, the only man who could have saved England was Enoch Powell and they drove him from public life.
NAFTA was bad.
Seems like it.
Great stuff!
Keep it up!
We will watch the dirty dems cheat their way to yet another election while we in-fight to the very end.
Great going.
We can unite and fight the real enemies of the country or go down for good against a communist enemy that knows how to come together.Your choice!
IDK, man, I’ve gone along to get along for nearly thirty years (first vote 1995) and dutifully pulled the level for the GOP stooge de jure. I was excited by Ambassador Keyes, and Pat Buchannan, and to a lesser extent, Rand Paul, but aside from that I feel the voters have been bullied into accepting inferior and self defeating candidates from the consensus GOP. President Trump was the first to offer an alternative- and, despite the many issues of his Presidency, I feel he offers more hope of change from the platitudes and empty promises of the GOPe than any other.
If the choice is Jeb2.0 and another generation of the same moribund BS or Civil War I vote for the latter.
From the deceptively named Firearms Owners Protection Act:
“The Act also contained a provision that banned the sale to civilians of machine guns manufactured after the date of enactment, restricting sales of these weapons to the military and law enforcement. Thus, in the ensuing years, the limited supply of these arms available to civilians has caused an enormous increase in their price, with most costing in excess of $10,000.”
the 1986 Act also put draconian limits on suppressors and imported gun parts

They always say every GOP Presidential candidate is the worst ever, but Trump is the only one they try to put in jail to keep from running again.
As for the GOP it's what we make it. If we allow rinos and other aholllls to run the party than it's on us, no one else.
I'm in our local country REC and do what I can to keep the commie dems out of power. Is our party pure, hell no, but whose fault is it? I look in the mirror when I say that. We have the age old problems that many have but slowly but surely we are moving toward conservatism and with Trumps leadership we will get there. Once again it may not be pretty.

If biden stole a presidential election then the little regimes across the country can do the same, if Biden can instruct the FBI to go after his rivals and enemies the mayor of mass of two schitz can do the same, there!
