I think many of us may be shaking our heads and trying to figure out how to have a logical conversation with people who only source FOX news.

A frequent and related Republican talking point is that this move from Obama triggered the influx. However, based on numbers from the Homeland Security Department, the rapid rise began in 2011, before Obama announced his policy.

You just proved the OP's point by this post. - NM

To have a logical conversation with liberals here.

What do you mean "only" source Fox News? There are many other sources we list here, even though we are met with snide and ridiculing comments about the sources. In fact many of us have stopped citing our sources because we are told they are not good enough or not on the liberal approved listing of what sources we can list here. We have posted sources from WND, Newsmax, Washington Times, TownHall, and National Review just to name a few (but many more). We are met with "no thanks. Not credible" to be followed with a link to a leftwing site, which upon researching further distorts facts.

It is the ridiculing and being told how stupid we are (in a round about way) that makes it impossible to have any sort of intelligent conversation. We are met with being called conspiracy theorist, haters, baggers, racists, and anything else that ends in an "er". You do realize that there are other news sources that do not support either side, don't you? I also find it funny that some of the sources I have listed I have been told "no thanks" and "I like to live in reality" and other ridiculing comments because I've posted something from a news site that not everyone goes to. But once one of the LSM sites puts up the same story all of a sudden it's "credible". But when it doesn't look favorable, when we are told "get real" and other issues, that shuts down any hope of having a decent adult intelligent conversation. It is also the reason many of us don't use our normal monikers anymore.

Now you know how libs feel trying to have an - intelligent convo with the "Ostrich People&qu

Just never heard of Ostrich People.

Sounds like some kind of Ozzie zombie, another - attempt at characterizing

conservatives as blind is my guess.

Of course that is true. What else is left for them? (sm) - LM

They can't even defend him anymore, which is all they had before. Fingers in ears, and ignore all the warnings. Now they are left with a country that is weakened and in 2-1/2 years will be completely destroyed. They have no more defense. There is nothing left for them. Unfortunately, the rest of us go down with them.

The country will be destroyed? - If you really believe this, why aren't you on

[ In Reply To ..]
Because you don't believe it.

Why am I not on what? - And yes, I believe it.

On what? - That is a loaded question.

[ In Reply To ..]
LOL

When you have a president who selectively - enforces some laws and ignores

[ In Reply To ..]
others based on politics, yes I KNOW our country is being destroyed.

And the question is who is trying to save it-- - Democrats or Republicans?

[ In Reply To ..]
Seems to be a pretty divided front here. For everyone that says how awful President Obama has been with this and that and he isn't following this or that law,just as many if not more can be named for Republican prior presidents (Yep, has to be prior, because he is the one in the White House right now). Which brings me to the overall concern that without any support and consensus, President Obama has not had much to work with--from the get-go. Never do I think I have heard of a president being threatened and insulted to the extent that President Obama was from the minute he took office (perhaps from the time he gained the nomination--or back on the steps at the Lincoln Home in Springfield, IL when he declared).

Lets try to get back to topics, instead of calling conservatives trolls and all the other derogatory comments. Sure maybe your side thinks its funny. Well actually they do becuase you pat each other on teh back about what a great insult that was, but what it boils down to is that it is quite immature. Most of the posts are cutting others down. The term "teabaggers" is also offense and those who post know this. They are just trying to get a rise out of people. ...

unions, combined with the recent relaxation of child labor laws, I guess working for a living will be a family affair. Who knows? Maybe it will bring families together. They can all get ready for work together. No more school since they will be closed and a thing of the past. The kiddies can work alongside Mom and Dad. The more kids, the better, since families will need all the money they can get while they're working and scratching their way over the pov ...

I respect everyone’s right to their opinions. We have a 2-party system in this country, thankfully, although at times I wish it were more, and if we all thought the same, or weren’t allowed to disagree, we would probably not be living in a democracy. This is my issue. When I hear, for example, some conspiracy theory on how Obama’s (or it could be anyone) agenda is to ruin the country, turn it into a socialist state (wh ...
