Stupidity from Reason Magazine’s Hit and Run blog

Oh yeah, this is weapons-grade idiocy here:

So let’s get this straight: Like a marauding elephant, America sticks its trunk in Latin America, snorts out NBCone-trillion in military and other aid to stop the flow of drugs that Americans want, gives a huge push to drug cartels in these countries who unleash all kinds of unspeakable atrocities on innocent civilians, and now, when these civilians desperately try and get their children out of harm’s way by grasping at a Bush-era law that is required to give them a hearing, nativists march on the street blathering about America’s national sovereignty?

Where were they when their guvmint (which is about to authorize nearly $4 billion in emergency funding to deport these kids immediately) was violating the sovereignty of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala — the three countries from where most of the  unaccompanied minors are coming from?  These countries enjoy the highest murder rate in the world, thanks, in part, to our drug war.

via Let the Kids Stay: The Drive to Deport Unaccompanied Minors, Refugees of America’s Drug War, is Immoral – Hit & Run : Reason.com.

…and that murder rate is our problem? No, it isn’t. This is why I do not call myself a libertarian; because it seems that libertarians seem to have a problem with what is known as “Rule of Law;” not to mention a Nation’s sovereignty. What gets me, is how this libertarian likes to use terms like “nativist”; which is nothing more than a dog whistle term which basically is calling those that are opposed to illegal immigration racist bigots. Which, by the way, happens to be a tactic of the liberal marxist left. Funny how that works, isn’t it?

This is what separates we American-loving Conservatives, who believe in limited Government; yet, believe in a much needed rule of law and are constitutional moderates and the libertarians who want little or no Government at all and are political extremists who basically want anarchy. The first is a reasonable position which has been around for years and works quite well; and the second being a position that is well out of the norm, and ultimately leads to failure and chaos.

This is why not one person has ever won the National election for President of the United States from the Libertarian Party; because libertarian ideas on subjects like this one are so far out of the norm that Americans simply reject them. Whether the liberals and their anarchist friends like it or not; America is a center-right Country and they believe strongly in things such is border security —- which protect Americans from many things; such as diseases, loss of jobs, and potential terrorists. The libertarians failure to understand this is why that party is, and always will be a third party that never,ever get elected to anything at all at the national level.

In short, as Bill O’Reilly likes to say on his show: libertarians need to wise up and get their heads out of their butts; if they want to be taken seriously by the rest of the Country.

  1. (dirty word snipped) I agree. That article is ridiculous and ignores so much. Levins podcast was so good yesterday addressing this issue. The stupid article doesn’t even address the complexity of problems with letting everyone in. What do they think will happen once we let 50,000 stay? It’s crazy and I’m liberal on most issues but have no tolerance for this illegal immigration. I will never vote again for a politician that is for keeping them here or for not protecting our borders and laws. And I vote Dem 90% of the time. I’m changing registration back to independent. The thing is I like voting in primaries. And stupid Repubs thinking this will get them the Hispanic vote is crazy. It won’t. It will always be 75 25 percent voting with Hispanic pop.

    1. Thanks for your comments. When I was still a “Skeptical left of center” I was for border security as well.

      BTW, I edited out the dirty word in your comment. I’m trying to get away from using four letter words on here. Anyhow, I rescued your comment from the spam folder and edited the word out.

      But, to your comment: You are correct on all points and you are a stand up guy for commenting here.

      Thanks again!
