Quote:No, I'm not advocating sanctions.OFC you are, that's what a country specific or religion specific immigration ban is........call it happy fun times for whitey if you like, won't change a thing.
Quote:That would imply that people in other countries have a right to live in the U.S., and I'm trying to take that away. They don't have that right. It's a privilege that the US can offer as it pleases.They have a justly constrained right. Their rights are no more compelling if the subject is their potential terrorism than the non-rights of non-citizens (who do, btw, actually have rights here...lol). If it's worthwhile to sanction an entire country or religion for a hypothetical future offense then it's equally worthwhile to do so in the event that those perpetrators are citizens..which they very likely will be, as you know. If it's worthwhile to sanction an entire country or religion for some past offense, thewn it;s equally worthwhile to do so in the event that the demographic in question is american....which, again, it is...and again..you already know.
Citizens OTOH do have a right to be here.
Quote:Your consistency is the problem. We have apples and oranges, and you want to treat them all as apples.Did you consult the magic hateball for that one, or lean on your mind reading abilities? Meanwhile..half a breath later.......
Quote:No, treat every person in the world as having the rights of an American citizen is the new common sense, or at least will be if the left has its way.Here you defend the lack of consistency you project onto others by imagining shit...again. Though, this one..I have to ask.....is there something wrong with that? Isn't that the ideological hope of the US, that everyone will one day enjoy the same rights we do....? Do you really want to take issue with that, real or imagined?
Quote:The common sense for a long time has been that citizens of a country have rights which non-citizens don't have. I don't know why that's so difficult for you to grasp.Why would it be? In any case, we've gone from an admission of abject fear, to a rationalization regarding risk..to some bullshit about rights. Focus?
