    Any reason that might be the case? How many immigrants from Mexico in Germany?

    Sure thing, YankeeFan. I gave six examples from just the past 20 years. Major examples, not just what some third-rate talk-radio host in Podunk was saying. Examples that were nationally prominent. Examples that all happened before Reid's attack.

    You keep using the usual "both sides do it!" argument. Except, both sides don't do it. Not by number, or severity.

    I mean, the most popular Republican radio talk-show host called the president's young teen daughter a "dog." One of the most prominent Republican social media commentators and authors said 9/11 widows were happy their husbands died so they could get rich. The Republican president-elect jumped all over a Gold Star family. If you can find Democratic equivalents to these attacks, or the previous ones I listed, have at it. Good luck.

    Republicans have done nothing except hit below the fucking belt.

    Both sides do it.

    Republicans are worse.

    The Kumbayah libs are the only ones who feel guilty about it.

    Funny to see you lecturing anybody about letting their personal biases getting in the way of their political analysis. Not that you are wrong about Baron, but you have been guilty of doing it as well.

    Also, in the future, please don't drag me into your pissing matches. I find enough of them on my own, thank you very much.

    One small --- or not so small difference: I readily admit fault from my "side" --- I just try to present perspective on WHY something was done from that point of view. Case in point: Any Russian meddling in the U.S. election was absolutely wrong. HOWEVER, given that we meddled in their 1996 election --- and bragged about it --- and orchestrated regime change on their border, should we be so "horrified" that they would attempt it? I think not. You can only poke a bear so many times before he gets riled and bites back.

    You're absolutely correct, and I apologize.

    I'm referring to refugees from the Middle East, who are a much bigger strain on the existing systems than folks coming over to do yard work and pick fruit.

    Great. Do they want a cookie or something?

    Yes, but not because of that.
