We Are the Third World
American Thinker ^ | October 1, 2016 | Timothy Birdnow

Posted on 10/01/2016 11:43:55 AM PDT by Kaslin

In the presidential debate last Monday Donald Trump warned America that she's "become a third-world country" to the guffaws and disdain of the liberals, the media (but I repeat myself) and Hillary Rodham Clinton, who later accused Trump of talking smack about the country she wants to loot, er, lead.

One must ask, is Trump correct or do we continue to occupy the apex of the first world? Is there evidence to support Mr. Trump's claim?

Let me offer exhibit A.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

Two years after the University of Missouri closed the state’s lone hospital for treating tuberculosis and other infectious diseases, state health officials are looking at opening a new facility.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services is seeking bids for a study that could provide officials with a roadmap for opening a new treatment center to replace the current process of sending patients to other states.

It comes amid a nationwide increase in the number of people contracting the airborne bacterial disease that attacks the lungs.

According to the request, Missouri has averaged 90 active tuberculosis cases in each of the past three years

Missouri has been more fortunate than many other states in this regard. Why? Because Missouri a series of strict laws against illegal alien encroachment, going back to 2007.

Actually that is what Obama has been trying to do for 8 years, to turn us into a Second World country.

When the terms First World, Second World, and Third World were coined, the Second World meant the Communist bloc countries. The First World was the advanced capitalist countries.

a system that discriminated based on an individual’s place of birth

So?

Immigration is not a right.

A Free State means that the populace has the right to make their own laws.

And if that means restricting immigration to the people they feel closest to...that IS a right

Some people still don’t have a clue that we are no longer the world dominating powerhouse that we used to be.

The immigration bill's original concept was promoted by JFK, and his brother was a wannabe, but still quite influential. You defending the Kennedys, American politics' original crime family?

Your posts are spot on ! You put everything in words so much better than I do. amazing. you are so right!

I'm a fan and student of Trump since he was saying these things in the 1980’s (check out the youtube video).

He is the only one that can make America great again.
Trump is one in a trillion!
Trump says it all in the first 30 minutes of the debate how China is destroying the USA with a yearly trade deficit of $500,000,000

These uniformed freepers should read Trump's book where he explains it how to Make America Great again: https://www.amazon.com/Crippled-America-Make-Great-Again/dp/1501137964 The greatest book I ever read.

You entroypy12 certainly get it so few do.
Trump is one in a trillion!

What did Hillary say “companies sharing profits with employees “ there's a word for that it is called communism. Scary demon she is indeed. As if leftist policies had not already damaged my precious once free America enough no they must put the dagger all the way , the communist cretins ,damn them All!
