Right Wing Myth. Simply the use of the flag by the right to cover racism and xenophobia

(2) How can the federal government ask U.S. citizens to pay back student loans - when illegal aliens are receiving a free education?
|
Illegal aliens receive no free education that is not received by all. More intersting question is why the US established a program that forced the cost of college out of reqch by providing loans to cover the increased cost. Note that those who did it knew they would not be repayable hence the removal of bankruptcy to relieve such loans.

(3) Only in America are legal citizens labeled "racists" and "Nazis," but illegal aliens are called "Dreamers."
|
Some American citizens are racists and Nazis. So what else would you call them. Dreamers is as title to reflect the fact there are some illegal aliens who committed no sin but are now trapped.

(4) Liberals say, "If confiscating all guns saves just one life, it's worth it." Well, then, if deporting all illegals saves just one life, wouldn't that be worth it?
|
Deporting all illegals would cost many lives and a great deal of money.

(5) I can't quite figure out how you can proudly wave the flag of another country, - but consider it punishment to be sent back there.

That flag is simply an emblem of the group. Has no other value. They simply proclaim their common root. Indicates no interest whatsoever in returning there.

(6) The Constitution: It doesn't need to be rewritten, - it needs to be reread.
|
the Constitution has pieces that need to be rewritten but likely will in the end be replaced by a new Constitution as the old one does not allow rational amendment.
Quote:
(7) William F. Buckley said: "Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other points of view, and are then shocked and offended when they discover there are other points of view."
|
And Right Winger cannot even hear other views they are so deaf to anyone not in their echo chamber.

(8) Joseph Sobran said: "'Need' now means wanting someone else's money. 'Greed' means wanting to keep your own. 'Compassion' is when a politician arranges the transfer."
|
The willingness of the right wing to punish the poor is legendary. This is just a an attempt to disown the problems they create.
Quote:
(9) Florida has had 119 hurricanes since 1850, - but some people still insist the last one was due to climate change.
|
Thast the frequency and severity of hurricanes may be influenced by climate change is simply a theory that is worth considering. In a decade or two we will know if it is true. If the Keys vanish there may be some truth to it.
