      JimL,

      Please don't insult me with you insane talking points. It is you and Tass that are saying that MS13 are representative of all immigrants. Unless you can give me a quote from Trump where he says that MS13 is indicative of all immigrants. (Hint: there aren't any).

      And please don't tell me that MS13 is a "Dog Whistle" to Trumps base, because the only ones that can hear this whistle are liberals like You and Tass.


      Which brings me back to my point. You and Tass are showing your prejudice, MS13 gets a pass from you because they are immigrants so they can't be bad because immigrants as a group are good, they are not individuals they are just a mass of people that all have the same attributes. (This is the definition of what prejudice is).

      Because you and Tass think this way you two project this onto Trump and others, you two can't see people as individuals, you only see people as groups. When you come up against some one with a strong since of individualism, you have to berate and belittle that person. "How dare they act different then the group, there must be something wrong with them they must be re-programed."

      JimL, please be a little more intelligent then Tass and give me an explanation of your point or give me some proof to support your case, and not just keep repeating the same debunked statement over and over again like Tass.

        Last resort of a small mind, when you can't defend your point; insult, berate, and say that the other person doesn't get it.


        I hope your at least smart enough to give us your proof, a statement from Trump saying that all immigrants are MS13 members. Also Please give us you proof that Trump is treasonous. Site sources, give evidence.

          What does Rush Limbaugh know about "educating people", he didn't even graduate from university...although I suppose that puts him on par with many of his followers.

            Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Chuck Yeager are other notably intelligent and successful people who never graduated from college.

              There are a lot of goofus idiots who "graduated from university". In many cases, it simply means they sat in the right seats in the right rooms for the right length of time and answered the right questions. It doesn't mean they can actually do anything meaningful in life.

              You're probably an excellent example of that, assuming you actually graduated from university.

                As Mountain Man just said lots of intelligent and successful people never graduated from college. And you can add Albert Einstein to the list who flunked high school and barely made it out of University.


                I have also known Collage graduates that can't do a thing, most of them are much like you and JimL and have been told what to think but not how to think.

                  I see you don’t understand satire. Not everyone, that dares to disagree with you, is a secret Nazi. In fact, 99.9% of those accused of being Nazi’s are no where close. Besides, it was your progressive forebearers that were BFF’s with the Nazi’s and worked on implementing their ideals until that whole WW2 thing made that rather unpopular. If anything, modern big government progressives have more in common with Nazi’s.

                    So, Rush Limbaugh's net worth is estimated to be North of 590 MILLION dollars, and Tassman (a chambermaid in a Motel 6*) is worried that Limbaugh didn't finish college.

                        Modern college didn’t impress me all that much. I rarely studied, didn’t spend more than 2 hours per class on homework a week, and still managed to maintain an A- average.

                          Yup.... (bolding mine)

                          The Dumbing Down of College Curriculums

                          ....In their widely cited book “Academically Adrift,” Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa concluded that 45 percent of students “did not demonstrate any significant improvement in learning” during their first two years of college. More than a third (36 percent) “did not demonstrate any significant improvement in learning over four years of college.”

                          Traditionally, the authors wrote, “teaching students to think critically and communicate effectively” have been claimed as the “principal goals” of higher education. But “commitment to these skills appears more a matter of principle than practice,” Arum and Roksa found.

                          An astounding proportion of students are progressing through higher education today without measurable gains in general skills,” they wrote. “While they may be acquiring subject-specific knowledge, or greater self-awareness on their journeys through college, many students are not improving their skills in critical thinking, complex reasoning, and writing.”

                          But those are precisely the skills that employers increasingly expect from college graduates. A 2013 survey of employers on behalf of the Association of American Colleges and Universities found that 93 percent of employers say that a demonstrated capacity to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems is more important than a candidate’s undergraduate major.

                          More than three-quarters of the prospective employers of new college graduates said they wanted colleges to put more emphasis on such basic skills as “critical thinking, complex problem solving, written and oral communication, and applied knowledge.”...
