Part of the reason we are where we are in this country is that this is thought of as a “small policy decision.” I get that you were being sarcastic, but it’s true most think of this as small potatoes. The reality is it will be another giant entitlement, funded by debt, and will have the exact opposite effect it desires.
That’s not quite how TheRaj put it… Lol, but that aside that isn’t equal to what I and many consider conservatism to be, which, if I’m understanding you correctly, we agree on, right?
Your assessment might be accurate. This is not really the way I normally think about things.
So, in short, you praised how effiently and effectively the Nazi’s were at rounding up Jews, homosexuals, and gypies and rhetocially questioned what the US government would be capable of using said blueprint.
That is nonsense. thrift, hard work, and Christian morality are not Alt-Right. Neither is the traditional family. What IS alt-right is nativism, and racism. I personally see nobody here, regardless of their social stances, deriding traditional conservative values as alt-right. What I DO see is them deriding nativism, Trump’s demagoguery, and a couple poster’s methods of defense as alt-right.
Isolationism is not practical in this 21st century world any more. You should know that. Globalization has irrevocably tied our interests to situations overseas and we cannot ignore that if we want to continue to lead and prosper. That does not mean being hawkish necessarily, but it does mean NOT being isolationist. I’ll leave social structure out of this as it’s debatable and an entirely different subject in any case. Far too much to derail the thread.
Well, the plan I understand is not that employers are compelled to pay for maternity leave but rather that the taxpayers in general would pay for maternity leave. That means that the government would essentially be paying women for being pregnant.
Which raises the question as to why the government should pay women for being pregnant only in the event that they are employed. And why should the amount that women get paid for being pregnant be related to the amount of money they make for their other work?
You got upset that people are supposedly comparing Trump to Hilter while literally praising how efficient the Nazi party was at rounding people up and wondered how much better the US (assumedly under Trump) could do it.
So, it’s not cool to compare Trump to Hilter - no one here has done that.
But, it’s cool, if you’re a supporter, to suggest Trump’s admin could use a Nazi blueprint to successfully round up illegal immigrants. In other words, you want Trump to act like Hitler…
Seems a bit hypocritical to me and that doesn’t even get into the stuff you were saying about the NSA and spying.
But you lament the trend toward a “one party state” as a result of immigration - you said so yourself. So what we need are ideological tests for immigrants, correct?
I mean, who cares what the color of their skin is if they will just vote for the right party, right? Agree?
