A lot of people are making their political or actual fortunes on these issues, no doubt
and that's partly what these people are protesting against.
In two pages, you, a self proclaimed Christian, called them idiots, nuts, obnoxious, bad people. You don't know them. You're blinded by prejudice.
I think they are idiots, nuts, obnoxious and bad people. That's based on them harassing people, blocking entrances and comparing lawful detentions to the Holocaust.
they've committed first time misdemeanors. Most have sponsors who can vouch for and accommodate them till their hearings. How's jailing them lawful?
I'm not changing your opinion.
You're a gun toting right wing Christian, you're probably happy with the status quo in America right now.
Lawful detentions not nessciarily. If any of those people claimed asylum then they are being illegally detained.
Also the jews nor the holocaust owns the term concentration camp. They existed before the jews and WWII.
Also no one using the words was.comparing the treatment of the migrants to the jews. They were comparing their treatment to being inhumane and thus using concentration camp should be allowed.
But of course the right would throw their hands up at this sort of thing. Many right leaning politicians have said worse actual slanderish things or cringeworthy comparisons.
Your post is littered with assumptions, reinforcing why it's fruitless to discuss this type of stuff. Your claim of first time misdemeanors may not be true at all, so why start a conversation with a disputed position you have no way of supporting? Same with the claim of sponsorship and accommodation until a hearing. It is, at absolute best, a very generous starting point for your political positions. It's not one that at all recognizes the issue of high detention numbers that exceed both detention and alternative to detention capabilities of our country.
As for the rest of your post, goodness no, I think the status quo is quite problematic, albeit mostly for different reasons than you.
GOP Georgia congressional candidate withdraws after calling himself a 'white nationalist'
A Republican candidate for Rep. Lucy McBath’s (D-Ga.) seat said in a video posted to Facebook Saturday that he was withdrawing after identifying himself as a white nationalist.
Last week, Bolena said in the video, "I said I was a proud white nationalist. Due to the shootings that happened in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, I was very aggravated and very mad at the way the liberal media comes after conservatives. It comes after our Second Amendment." Bolena says President Trump's reelection campaign reached out to the Georgia Republican Party after the remarks.
"I was told, 'Donnie, if you stay in it, and CNN breaks this story, you're going to hurt President Trump, and you're going to hurt District 6, and you're going to hurt the country. They will use this to destroy every Republican,' " he said. Bolena continued to defend his words in the video, saying he had discussed the matter with the chairs of both the state party and the Fulton County Republican Party.
"I said, I am so sick of being attacked for being white. Why are white people apologizing for being white? ... I don't see no black people out there apologizing for being black. And I don't see no Asian people out there apologizing for being Asian. I don't get it," Bolena said.
Exactly.I don't get it," Bolena said.GOP Georgia congressional candidate withdraws after calling himself a 'white nationalist'

Does this mean you like watching live sport or is it “l’m around, sport.” As in Robin Williams circa Good Will Hunting?

Interesting poll results about women, abortion, and the prog-conservative divide:
62% of republican women believe Trump has made things better for women in America.
Well yeah this is predictable. Just look at the stats of teen moms in the red states. They lead teen pregnancy and teen STD in the US. Think I linked the study from 2016 either here or in the potus thread many moons ago.
Religion really outdo common sense in those states. It's all God's and he sent us our saviour Trump.
