MUDDLED THINKING KNOWS NO PARTY AFFILIATION

To Kid Bertha: Thank you for the endorsement. I hasten to point out, however, that muddled thinking is not the sole or exclusive province of the "Liberal Social-Marxist Elitests" referenced in your reply to my recent post. George W. Bush was an advocate of 'open borders' and the granting of amnesty to illegal immigrants. His administration maintained a very lax policy regarding our borders. We Americans spend too much time bickering in accordance with party loyalties.

Collectively what we need is to accept a realistic world view and an attitude of adaptability to new challenges if we are to survive through this century as an intact society. We must dump our love affair with "diversity" [a fractured society], face the reality of a diminishing energy supply [drilling for more oil isn't the answer, it's still going to run out], and stop eroding the value of our currency by incurring ever larger [astronomically large, really] debts as a nation. Kicking out the Muslims and sealing our borders good and tight would also be a step in the right direction.
