If you want to embarrass an extreme conservative partisan just ask them to give a meaningful definition of capitalism, socialism, and communism. They'll never give you a definition because to understand these terms involves admitting that *gasp* Obama/Hillary is not a socialist or communist. Their entire worldview collapses if they understand a few basic definitions. So, how do they handle this? They actively block any understanding of these terms. It's laughable.
It's a pretty easy way to win a debate against a rabid conservative.
In 1969, Hillary Rodham wrote a 92-page senior thesis for Wellesley College about community organizer Saul Alinsky entitled "There Is Only the Fight . . . : An Analysis of the Alinsky Model." The thesis is now available.

Ironically, conservatives are in favor of big government on this issue and Cortez is the one fighting for small government :mrgreen:
So, the way I see it, conservatives are taking the more "communist" position here. Even though I detest the stupid application of the term.
Cortez is fighting for small government? You probably need to back that statement.
Sure. But there are better and worse ways to do it. Just because you oppose one way doesn't mean you don't want secure borders.
ICE is the definition of big government.
ICE is the definition of national security.
When Cortez claims that stopping ilkegal immigration is violating human rights, then she's claiming that crossing the border of another country is a human right and that the borders should be opened.
ICE is the definition of national security.
Human rights means you bring people requesting asylum to court for a proper hearing. If they can't make their case, they get deported. Human rights is not separating little children from their parents and letting them die off to teach them a lesson. That's not stopping illegal immigration. That's just being a psychopath.
Look, it's okay if you're for big government, just don't pretend not to be. We're not the ones for a massive federal bureaucracy with extraordinary powers here, you are.
So was the Gestapo. That's why they were created.
Asylum isn't a human right.
No one "let them die off to teach them a lesson".
It's ok if your responses are based on lies.
You must have missed it: 2 young children have died so far.
It is- by the whole world. It's in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In fact, it was the US who spearheaded the document, and signed it back in 1948. The only countries who didn't sign it back then were the former Soviet bloc countries and Saudi Arabia. Now they have too.
So now it's become some alien communist document in the US itself? My how times change!
ICE is the definition of big government.
Communists? Do they support big or small government?
That statement, of course, backs nothing. Even if it were true.
Communists? Big government guys or small government guys?
Silliass nonsense. It is OBVIOUSLY the job of the Federal government to secure our borders.
It is NOT the job of government to tell us what we can eat, what we can say, to force us to allow others to force their lifestyles into our lives, to treat OUR MONEY like it's theirs, etc.
The Federal government has a FEW JOBS, that only it can do....
That's all fine and dandy, just as long as you see that you're for a giant federal bureaucracy with large powers and we are not.
Is it Romper Room night , for the DP Left.
NATIONAL ISSUES, such as the borders and immigration, are the purview of the Federal government...or do you support ZERO Federal govt.?
The rest are the business of the STATES, or the People.
Try reading that Constitution thingy.
Or do you support the Confederate States of America?
