Apparently he wanted President Obama to let them come in freely, so he&#039;d have someone to do his lawn work for a couple bucks an hour. Too bad dubya didn&#039;t catch a few illegal immigrants prior to 09/11/2001.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;punishing Texas by sending them immigrants.&#8221;  &#8211; huh?</p><p>They were captured crossing the border &#8211; it sounds to me like they were already there.

I agree that we&#039;ve not been under a real Capitalism in America and that corporate fascism is where we are now, but you clearly don&#039;t know the proper definition of Socialism and Communism in economic terms and seem to conflate that somehow with political models like dictatorships and single party state-centric governments.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Socialism and Communism are about the means of production when talking bout economics. Since those terms have been so bastardized over the past few decades, they now have multiple meanings.. when one word means too many things, the word becomes nonsensical for use in debates. .. which is exactly why we can&#039;t have conversations in America any more; the ruling elite have all but destroyed our language through lies and deceit.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nothing in Socialism says you can&#039;t &quot;own stuff&quot;, it says you can&#039;t become massively rich by owning the means of production. The people that want to own the means of production want to control a thing, they want power over others. As they get more power, they want to keep it along with their eventually ill gotten gains from a rigged game, then they take away your liberties... not me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;and I suspect you have no idea what Liberty means, especially when contrasted with the premise &quot;all men are created equal&quot; with the same right to Liberty.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I made a co-worker admit that she&#039;s cool with blowing legs off little kids in Iraq so she can have cheaper gasoline for her SUV. THAT is the system you support as well, killing other human beings so you can have wanton excess.. deny them Liberty and LIFE so you can have more? Doesn&#039;t sound very American (in the Founding Fathers, Constitution, Declaration of Independence vein) to me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;you need to stop conflating politics and economics. There is a thing called Democratic Socialism out there, and it exists because the two concepts do not cover the same realm. You conflate Communism with dictatorship and crushing people&#039;s rights, and that&#039;s why you&#039;re wrong.. you don&#039;t have a clear understanding of the issues, yet you want to engage in the debate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And when I come for your stuff, I&#039;ll do it just like &quot;America&quot; does, fast and hard and giving you a shit load of .30 inches at a time as well.. I&#039;ll just say you&#039;re a threat to my &quot;liberty&quot; because I have a right to the stuff you currently have.. just like we do all over the world when we want oil or access to raw materials.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In fact, it&#039;s your support of a system that systematically and routinely abuses nations around the world (making more and more enemies) that threatens EVERYONE&#039;S Liberty, so you and the system you support seems to be the clear and present danger.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>.<br
