    Here Are Ocasio-Cortez’s Latest Idiotic Remarks About Illegal Aliens And Immigration Enforcement.....


    We all know the game here. First, we need immigration enforcement. We need federal agents working in tandem with local officials to do it. This isn’t a serious proposal, but it gets the far left riled up. And because it isn’t a serious proposal, you get half-baked jargon from the people peddling it. Yesterday, Ocasio-Cortez declared that Latinos couldn’t be declared illegal because…they’re descendants of native people (via Free Beacon):

    The freshman congresswoman went on to suggest ICE has not given due respect to those who enter the country illegally. The United States must "respect for the right of human mobility," she said before adding, "because it is a right.".....snip~

    Also, Ocasio-Cortez has voted to fund ICE. So, once again we have another far lefty that has exactly no idea what the hell she’s talking about......snip~

    This green new deal has nearly nothing to do with environmental issues. It's only about taking away more individual liberties from us and handing more power to government and the ruling class.

    Populism is a strategy, not an ideology. Trump is a liberal with some conservative leanings.

    I disagree. Populism is a belief. It's the belief that people should have control of government instead of a handful of elites. It is an ideology. However, it can be used as a strategy.

    Your second sentence is correct though.

    Most of this green new deal is not something new. What's new is calling for imposing all of these ideas in one swoop. There might be one or two reasonable proposals in it, but the vast majority is just ultra liberal idiocy.

    The world is going to end in 12 years unless you agree to pay $2,000/month for your electric bill. by the way, Al Gore predicted the state of florida would be submerged under ocean waters by the year 2000. Tell all the college students heading for Ft Lauderdale this spring to bring their life jackets so that can survive by floating back high land.

    That's the problem with this. Many will think a few things are "reasonable". like aborting babies in the first trimester but would cringe at post partum abortion. The argument when Roe v Wade first passed was it would lead to euthanasia and those who put that argument forward were painted as crackpots and extremist. Well here we are now and as someone once said "Round and round she goes, where she stops nobody knows" The slightly left of center proposals won't work but because we thought they were reasonable why what we should do is just ramp them up a bit, pass a few new bills and regulations. Yeah yeah, that'll do the trick.
    No, the Green New Deal will not pass in its entirety but the camel will get his nose under the tent just like the income tax grew from just the top 1 percent to now applying on all the working people in this country.
    We need to remove every politician who even remotely entertains a leftist proposal and if we can't at the ballot box we should take up arms for our own preservation.

    Tyranny knows no label, be it communist or socialist or fascist. Tyranny is always the control of the masses by a elite group.

    LOL. Funny, but nothing to do with AOC's naivete'. I'll give her credit for probably being smart enough to grow into the job whereas Trump hasn't. Either way, her "new Green Deal" is a pot smoker's pipe dream.
