Sounds Like a Lot of...



So much for tolerance and diversity, or even just basic historic correctness. [More]

Good thing such vile ingrates increasing their electoral presence has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Keep enabling your destroyers, stupid, privileged and "progressive" white girls.

So let's run with that.

1) No Chinese food. Or Thai. Or Vietnamese. Or Pizza. Your culture did not invent these foods.
2) No Radio, TV, Movies, CDs. Your culture did not invent these technologies.
3) No Cars. No buses. No Trains. No planes. Your culture did not invent them.
4) No computers. No Internet. Your culture did not invent them.

I could go on, but I think the point's been made.

It looks like you don't know what the "single issue" I referred to is if you think I'm talking about Thai food or technological applications. Regular visitors know what I'm referring to. Here's the actual “point” for you to address:

Produce credible data – something that can be independently validated – that “amnesty” and a “pathway to citizenship” for MILLIONS of foreign nationals in this country illegally (and even legally, with policies of the past several administrations) WILL NOT overwhelmingly favor Democrats and anti-gunners. Note I’m not asking whether you’d argue for that or not, that’s a different discussion. I’m simply stating the probability this is what WILL happen.

Show us your sources and methodologies for determining this WILL NOT result in supermajorities in state and federal legislatures that will be able to pass all kinds of anti-gun edicts.

Show us how this WILL NOT result in nominations and confirmations of judges to the Supreme and federal courts who will uphold those edicts, and reverse gains made to date.

Notice I didn’t ask you for platitudes or for anecdotes about exceptions to the rule – they don’t matter if you can’t point to a corresponding overriding shift in voting trends from what has been experienced to date. I didn’t ask for subjective speculation about how education and outreach programs MIGHT help bring more over to the right to keep and bear arms side.

I asked you to show how all credible estimates putting the disparity at over 70% Democrat and anti-gun are wrong (and how the needle barely moves in the other direction after 20 years). If you think that can be changed, you’re going to need to be specific about how (assuming it can be done, which you’ll also need to spell out), and how by then the effects won’t be irreversible.

How about some verifiable numbers to refute my concerns and all credible polls, not to mention the California experience?

Believe it or not, I hope you can.

Our culture did, in point of fact, invented all those things. Our culture is a huge part of Western Culture, aka Christendom, and because that's an irrefutable truth, those things in numbers two through four are our creations.

Oh, and pizza is from Western Culture as well, the only thing not from our culture are the various oriental food dishes. While I like those foods, I'd happily do without them to remove illegals and many of the so-called legal immigrants, too.

Pat: When “Anonymous” posted his list, he was responding to the “people of color” in the article who were whining about “cultural appropriation.” He was telling them that THEY should stop enjoying everything on his list because THEIR culture didn’t invent them. David, I think you sort of misunderstood him too. His point was clear to me, but apparently not to others.

Now that you put it that way I can see how the interpretation could be subjective. I thought he was listing a bunch of stuff that hadn't been initially invented in the U.S., and took "your" like I was being addressed.

No soup for you!

I get it. At first it seemed like "A Day Without A Mexican" propaganda. Second reading is better.

Much if not most Sushi you buy in restaurants these days is made by Mexicans, making the author's point that culture and technology can be and is transferred. Also, I make way better Chili than most New Mexicans I've met, better Tamales than most Mexicans I've met, and I can eat hotter chile spice than any Mexican I've ever met.

Apparently I did not make my point clearly. My comments about "your culture did not invent that" were not directed at you, David. Rather, they were meant to be directed at the person who claimed that white women wearing hoop earring s were "appropriating" black culture.

We have all borrowed from the respective cultures of others since the first intermingling of peoples. To say now that earrings, or Thai food, or anything of the like is "cultural appropriation" is ridiculous on its face, and should be treated as such. Hence my absurd (and woefully incomplete) list of things that the person doing the complaining should be barred from using.

My apologies for my lack of clarity.

Henry got it right from the get-go, so it looks like I'm the one who should apologize for not even considering that was your intent. I'm sure my read influenced others.
