American Thinker - Media Bias/Fact Check

None of those 25 quotes were racist. And instead of using soundbites from that punk racist O'Reilly



The truth is what you call racist.


Some if those quotes are absolutely racist. If they were said about black people you would be screaming about racism. Trump hasn't said anything remotely racist or anything that comes close to what Wright said about white people. Yet you are will to call him and conservatives racist. Wright is a racist and his quotes prove it.
 
Conservatism has become a joke. The term has been hijacked. In this forum there are perhaps a few real, legitimate conservatives. The rest are right wing or alt right racists. Conservatism is not about using the force of government to deny rights. Nor is conservatism about using the force of government to deny, expression, peaceful protest, religious liberty, free speech, freedom of the press, equal protection of all Americans, voter suppression or almost everything most conservatives here endorse.

Maybe it's time for conservatives to return to an emphasis on controlling excess government spending. Perhaps it's time to purge the conservative population of CINOS who want ethnic cleansing and a whites only nation.

Well I will agree with you about this: there are a lot of white supremacist racists on this forum, a surprising amount. If you just go by this forum you would think that all conservatives are hiding racist tendencies. But then, if I went by this site I might think a lot of black people really hate and resent whites too, and I know that's not true.

It's the Internet.

So that's for starters.

As for enders: I don't think it's conservatism that has so worry about becoming "a joke". We currently have the presidency, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. Democrats have the House but by a tenuous thread--there's a vicious fight as you must know. Not only that, but you have a weak group of contenders for president here in 2020. So I really don't think conservatism is the "joke" here.

I will address only a small part of your post. You said conservatives have the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court was never intended to be a political part of the government any more than the police were intended to be political. The law is the law, and should apply to all equally, and any court rulings should be based on that law, and not which political candidate the justices might support. I fear Trump's appointees will not base their decisions to the law.

Well you need to get your fears back to reality. Kav has already ruled against the republicans on the SCOTUS.

Do research.

Kavanaugh didn't rule against republicans. He ruled for the constitution, and that just happened to be opposite of what republicans wanted. I guess even a yes man like Kavanaugh can't give them everything they want.

So you just got done saying that "Trump appointees will not base their decisions on the law" and when I told you that you were wrong you admitted that Kav did rule in favor of the law, and he is a Trump appointee. So will you retract your previous statement because you know its a lie?

The most comprehensive and yet concise definition of the 21st Century idiot fringe ^^^; a set which dominates the course of the Republican Party - where did real Republicans and real conservatives go?

Thank you.

How do you define "conservative?"

Is it "one who doesn't want to bend over and take it in the ass from either the gov't or Boot-edge-edge?"

The core beliefs of conservatism are small gov't (this has nothing to do with spending), freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom to own any gun you want, freedom to do anything you want to do that is within the confines of the law. However, we do NOT embrace LGBTQP. We feel that these sick people have a right to be sick just don't involve kids or we like to get out those guns you people hate so much. Most conservatives are Christians so fags are not welcome. They are tolerated by a lot of people I know because they aren't worth the jailtime you'd get for killing them.

Obama was the opposite of all of those things. And I'll tell you what started this massive migration from the middle to either side. Obamacare. When that got shoved down our throats even though not a single republican voted for it, it set the precedent about NEVER voting for anything the other side wants.

So you can thank Obama for the polarity in our gov't. In no piece of legislation under Dubya was there such a stark divide. Under no legislation under Clinton was their such a stark divide. But for Obamacare, their was.

Wright is a racist and his quotes prove it.


Since blacks and whites have the opposite experience as it pertains to race, your comments are inaccurate. Trump is a racist. Wright is stating his opposition to what whites have done.
 
Primarily rightwing fear – fear of change, fear of diversity, fear of inclusion, and fear of expressions of individual liberty.
It's the left that wants to squash individual liberty and freedom of expression. Look what's happening on YouTube, Facebook and Nike. It's the left that wants to shut down talk radio, remove crosses, shut down conservatve speakers from universities. The left wants to punish bakers who don't want to use their artistry to make a certain kind of wedding cake.

The left want only the things they agree with to be allowed. We conservatives love diversity, we will allow anyone into our conservative tent. You can be of any color, race, sexual orientation and you can even have some differing beliefs. We believe in the free expression and open discussion of differing ideas. It's the left that wants to shut that down and force you to believe what they believe and support what they believe or else.

What you say is not being done.

Bullshit. We can start with Reagan and extend it to Gingrich.
 
No one is for illegal immigrants... however some are for free health care for illegal immigrants.
Bullshit. The other night during the Dem debate the moderators asked for a show of hands: "Who's for free health care for the illegals"? All of 'em raised their hands; that ain't some, that's ALL of them. Not one Dem candidate opposes it, NOT ONE. So, no one is for illegal immigrants? Bullshit. Many on the Left want to decriminalize those who cross the border illegally.

On the first night of the Democratic debates, Julian Castro made a big issue of his call to repeal Section 1325 of Title 8 of the United States Code, which says it’s a federal crime to enter the country without authorization. This felt like a ploy for attention from the periphery of the second-tier debate stage, yet last night seven out of the ten candidates raised their hands for the idea, including top contenders Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg.

Ever hear of sanctuary cities? Some places want to give the illegals a driver's license and the right to vote. They want to get rid of ICE, so there's no enforcement for our immigration laws that they want to eliminate anyway.

Asked if an illegal immigrant in the interior of the country who hasn’t committed another crime should be deported, Joe Biden replied that such a person “should not be the focus of deportation.” Kamala Harris said he “absolutely” should not be deported, and Representative Eric Swalwell said “that person can be part of this great American experience.” This is a promise to gut interior enforcement that, coupled with the latitudinarian attitude at the border, would be a huge step toward open borders.

A year ago the HoR did this. Does anyone think they would vote differently now, except maybe fewer YES or PRESENT votes?

On Wednesday, the House voted on a bill that simply expressed Congress' "continued support for all United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and personnel who carry out the important mission of ICE" and "the efforts of all Federal agencies, State law enforcement, and military personnel who bring law and order to our Nation's borders."

Such nonbinding resolutions don't have the force of law. They're just a statement.

Just 18 Democrats voted for this resolution. And the other 133 dodged the issue altogether by voting "present."

Democrats want a "catch and release" policy, knowing almost none of these people will show up for their court hearing. Sounds a lot like 'Open Borders" to me, they just don't have the balls to come out and say so. They are against the wall and for Amnesty, and you're telling me no one is for illegal immigrants? Bull Fucking Shit.

Ever hear of sanctuary cities? Some places want to give the illegals a driver's license and the right to vote. They want to get rid of ICE, so there's no enforcement for our immigration laws that they want to eliminate anyway.

Asked if an illegal immigrant in the interior of the country who hasn’t committed another crime should be deported, Joe Biden replied that such a person “should not be the focus of deportation.” Kamala Harris said he “absolutely” should not be deported, and Representative Eric Swalwell said “that person can be part of this great American experience.” This is a promise to gut interior enforcement that, coupled with the latitudinarian attitude at the border, would be a huge step toward open borders.

A year ago the HoR did this. Does anyone think they would vote differently now, except maybe fewer YES or PRESENT votes?

On Wednesday, the House voted on a bill that simply expressed Congress' "continued support for all United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and personnel who carry out the important mission of ICE" and "the efforts of all Federal agencies, State law enforcement, and military personnel who bring law and order to our Nation's borders."

Such nonbinding resolutions don't have the force of law. They're just a statement.

Just 18 Democrats voted for this resolution. And the other 133 dodged the issue altogether by voting "present."

Democrats want a "catch and release" policy, knowing almost none of these people will show up for their court hearing. Sounds a lot like 'Open Borders" to me, they just don't have the balls to come out and say so. They are against the wall and for Amnesty, and you're telling me no one is for illegal immigrants? Bull Fucking Shit.

We have a wall. Democrats are for using modern technology at the border.
No, they are for open borders or they would present Trump a tech bill for the border he would sign in a second. Don't try to defend weak arguments.

They did. He turned it down because there was no money for the wall. Don't talk that open border shit. Tell Trump to go to Mexico and get the money for the wall.

You are such a racist Tard.....

There is nothing wrong with talking about history.

There is nothing we can do about the past and Racist

like you only want to poison the future for your political agenda.

You act like we are still in the 1800's
 
I don't know what either side is for anymore, other than against whatever the other side wants. Conservatives used to be for fiscal restraint, but not now. Liberals used to be for the poor and middle-class citizens, but now they're for the illegal immigrants. Nobody seems to give a damn about the best interests of the country, it's all about getting re-elected and gaining or keeping political power for your party. The country is coming in at best 3rd place. It's hard to see anything other than a full-on catastrophe changing the way things are, and in the meantime the debt grows larger and the SSA and Medicare funds get closer to insolvency. This is not the situation we want to leave for future generations, they're going to wonder WTF we were thinking. I'm kinda wondering that myself.
This is a lie.

No one is ‘for’ illegal immigrants.

Unlike most on the right, liberals understand and respect the rule of law, that because an immigrant might be undocumented doesn’t mean he’s ‘illegal,’ and that all persons in the United States are entitled to due process of the law – including those undocumented.

Indeed, this is what liberals are for – respecting the Constitution, its case law, and the rule of law; respecting and defending our democratic institutions; and advocating for the rights and protected liberties of all Americans.

Reactionary conservatives are for fear and ignorance, they are purveyors of hate and division, conservatives oppose inclusion, diversity, and dissent and seek to compel conformity through force of law.

It’s the bane of conservativism that places America’s future in jeopardy.

That's not what your candidates say. They are for illegal immigrants. Everyone that comes here that doesn't come through legal channels is illegal. they are breaking the law. If you are strictly talking about those that are claiming asylum then you are right because asylum seekers are allowed by law to be here until their hearing. Everyone else that doesn't come through proper channels is illegal. And if you be elive that anyone who crosses the border not using the proper channels is not illegal then you don't know the law.
Keep in mind that nearly half of the the undocumented immigrants in the country entered the US legally. They are guilty of a civil misdemeanor. Other civil misdemeanors such as driving without a drivers license or trespassing is considered by law a more serious offense. The biggest violators are tourist and college students here on student visas.

People that overstay their visa's that leave within 30 days of expiration suffer no penalty. There is no crime or punishment for violating immigration laws except in extreme cases. Deportation is not punishment but a correction of immigration status. Immigration courts are civil courts run more like family court than a criminal court.

The Trump administration's use of detention as punishment, withholding aid from Central American countries, and attempting to criminalize what is not a crime is only creating more division within the country which makes enforcing the laws more difficult.

My point is that there is a huge mismatch between public opinion of illegal immigration and our laws. Until we straighten out our immigration laws we're not going fix the problem. We need to welcome those into our country that can contribute to our nation, tolerate those that need our help, and deal serverely with those that mean us harm.
