This is off topic, but your assertion that government has no place in the lives of its citizens is pretty silly. There is a logical balance between what the private sector should be up to and what the government should be up to and there is always tension between the two… when government oversteps, waste, inefficiency and intrusion happens… when we weigh the private sector to heavily greed, imbalance and individualism rules.
Not really immigrants but colonists. They intended to form their own colonies. They did not intend to live among the Indians.
Great song by John Anderson.
Immigration, like virtually every other political issue, is about striking a balance between who is helped and who is harmed. This is why the church speaks both to the need to help the immigrant, and the need to consider the impact on the country they are moving to.
Excuse me?In general terms this is true, but in specifics it is not, and what we are dealing with here are specific proposals, which anyone may support or oppose depending on what he expects the outcome to be.
A lot of times, they don’t have to with people pledging their undying loyalty to them.
It was easy to miss, since you used a pronoun", they," with the wrong antecedent. The antecedent was “posters here,” not “American liberals,” whatever the heck that phrase means. As the word “liberal” has been so over-used, I do not know if it bears much more meaning that a lower-case “nazi.”
Besides, selectivity toward papal authority is pretty much fifty-fifty split on both sides of the aisle.
One should be able to rely on the Pope’s authority at any time without having to “prove they are worthy” by simultaneously declaring their support for what the Pope says at other times. Otherwise dismissing their reasoning is just a variation of the ad hominem attack. (“We can’t accept anything liberals say, even if it is justified, because they are just such bad people.”)
