it is common for a young girl who might be Mexican or Mexican-American to get pregnant by a heroin street gang-member who is in the US illegally. The drug dealer moves into the girl's Mom's house (sometimes subsidized by American tax-payers) The Mother is "otherwise law-abiding" so nothing is done, but the drug dealer has a convenient place ot hide and hide heroin. If our town allowed border patrol drive throughs teh mother would have a good reason (that the drug dealer would abide by) to not allow the move-in by the drug dealer. But our town is a sactuary city. The Catholic Priests in the charities for undocumented workers help the drug gang by helping the mom and pregnant daughter and getting visitation fo rthe drug dealer if he gets...
There is a lot of shielding of Mexican herin dealers in my area by "otherwise law-abiding" Mexican citizens and even some Mexican-Americans who are only loyal to Mexico.
In my neighborhood, there are undocumented Mexican Drug Cartel workers. When they murder an American, they simply retreat to their own nation where there is no extradition treaty to America for capital crimes.
America's Founder's Protestantism allowed for a more gender equality leading to other forms of independance. Gay Marriage destroys the ancient basis of equality becaseu it does not address each individual's duty in life to realte to "the Other" .
even before Christianity in Northern Europe (where our culture came from) there was a great respect for the male/female couple, as shown in ancient art depicting a same size (symbolic of same status) couple looking at one another with affection but proper. This gender equal (different but equal mirror images of one another) motif was repeated with increadable variety over the ages and is called "gullgubbene" by archeologists. Even other ancient art carried over the equal mirrored beings motif for centuries and it influenced art ever since. This (and the Sagas) indicate a high level of male/female respect and affection ("Love") This unique culutral emphasis combined with Christianity to ultimately create the Founders Proestantism.

'Me Too' Republicans

In the illegal immigrant debate, Republicans are stupid to lose their supporteres who want a rational immigration system with laws that govern all people equally. When Republicans, perhaps like Rand Paul if he doesn't rethink his position, try to bend over backwards to appeal to illegal immigrants' supporters, they will lose every time. In the race ot the bottom of benefits and charitable thinking towards illegals, Democrats will win every time. Better to lay out a conservative vision and welcome mat to those who can think clearly...winning the youth, women and other minority votes by slowing the competition for jobs and benefits for them.

even prior to Christianity, in Scandinavia at least, teh male/female couple was the major motif...gullgubbene are golden images from before Christianity in which the man and woman are equal in status and proper with one another and affectionate with one another, uninterested in the viewer. These artworks are varied and extremely expressionistic and individualistic over many years in many places showing a wide-spread belief in the primacy of the duel male/female relationship that can create life itself. This heart-felt culture combined with early Christianity to create our culture.

The Devil in Disguise

the word "Devil" comes from the old ways' "De evil" ("the evil") just as the word "God" comes from the old ways's word "Good".(said fast) ..evil and good have been spoken of in these personifications for many centuries, even prior to Christianity. De Evil comes looking like de Good. Our human brains work this way. Those we now speak of as sociopaths are evil and to be avoided, they can be recognized as those having no morals (in the old ways: "no soul") they have no genuine emotions so they act what they see in movies but they only can play mind games to win and only have feelings of pride in winning or anger in being dept from winning their mind games. They are the users and others are their suckers...it is important to begrudge them.

The Blob That Ate Children

Much of the core curriculum could be taught online and with videos. Kids could go to a neighborhood center (like a licensed daycare) where they could sign in and out and get individual help if needed, and which could be a base for social events and games with neighboring learning centers. Those kids with a parent at home could associate themselves with the neighborhood learning center but do some or all of the core curriculum at home under parental guidance. Art, music, culture, how to act, legal and practical matters....these important subjects could be better taught by experts. Most of all, kids could be taught to work for a living and learn skills and get paid...many underage kids could be developing life-long careers as minors.

From Affirmative Action to Diversity

in college admissions and jobs that use affirmative action policies, there are less poor whites than in the general population. Using colleges as an example, what has happened is that better-off non-white students have displaced poor whites on college campuses. Having no experiences with poor whites, college students tend to be predjudiced against them. For example, many poor whites are born again christians, a religion belittled on campuses, yet "magical" Mexican Catholism is taught as a good thing at the college in my small town. I have often heard college educated people refering to poor whites as "trash" as if a human can be called garbage without reflecting poorly on the person using that word, they are prejudiced.
