    “We want all students to understand the difference,” he said. “Why would somebody flee across shark-infested waters … why would people leave these countries and risk their lives to be able to come here? It’s important that students understand that.”

    I know this argument really appeals to the conservative brain but you guys know people flee capitalist countries to come here too, right?

    Ever hear of the “Berlin Wall” or the “Iron Curtain”? If not, please educate yourself.

    The barriers were built to keep citizens of Eastern European Communist utopias from fleeing in mass to the West, not to keep the Western Europeans citizens from breaking into the communist countries.

    Those who tried to escape from Eastern Europe were shot on sight by border guards.

    Hope this helps round out your education . . .

    Powerful argument there, @TKS.

    Seriously? They “flee” capitalist countries to come here . . . I don’t believe the word “flee” applies to your question.

    Examples?

    They flee from totalitarian dictatorships that may not be communist or socialist.

    Mark Steyn left Canada to come here. As did lots of Canadian musicians and actors. More freedom, more opportunity in a bigger market. But they were not fleeing. Lots of Brits are here for the same reason. More freedom and opportunity than in the UK. Lots of Indians are here. Wouldn't call India a capitalist country but they weren't fleeing. On the whole, they are respectful to their new country and some are outright patriots. Now lots of Mexicans that did flee corrupt and socialist Mexico and many hate this country. Check out the recent US-Mexico soccer match. Same with lots of Muslim refugees. Look at how grateful Ilhan Omar is. Once again, the Slobberer is an ignorant liar and hates this country.

    He should move to China and true freedom.

    I nominate Venezuela as TKS’s destination. Once he gets hungry enough, he can flee to Columbia.

    It’s not REAL Communism though. Not the utopia kind that we are looking into.

    That's what is so frustrating is that for decades, since the 1960s that line has been continuously used but for some reason it always ends up like Cambodia or Venezuela or marxist Chile. But REAL history isn't taught anymore.
    Where were all you butt hurt reactionaries "educated"? There are sure a lot of things said "continuously" that were never said anywhere I went to school.
    You haven't been in high school since Carter was in office. Fuck off.
    Oh, you heard this in high school. Funny, my kids have all been to high school. Where is this Hellish indoctrination about "the real Communism" taking place?
    I heard that you haven't been in high school since Carter was in office? What the fuck are you talking about Dazzler?
    It happens "continuously". But none of the girls can name any names or provide any specifics.
    Mr. Hands Up, Don’t Shoot:

    I remember you from The Shed, Counselor.

    Your father was a retired school teacher. You spilled your age. You’re old enough to collect social security. Figure the math. You most likely graduated from high school during the Carter administration.

    Law degree and MBA from UW . . . How many times did we hear that? Flunked your Bar exam the first time . . .

    Based on many years of posting, I can state with certainty that you skipped or slept through criminal law classes during law school.

    Signed, (Retired) “Mall Cop”
    Bump

    The Counselor is suddenly at a loss for words.

    How’s your father? Is he still alive and a conservative?
