    You people are ignorant.

    Someone explain to me how unchecked immigration is a socialist ideal.

    All that article tells me that the NR misses Buckley more than ever. Conservative intellectualism is just about dead.

    You do realize that S is not a US held company, right?

    Also, that stake they hold in Majnoon is a joint stake with SA Aramco.
    It's as US held as any publicly traded multi-national giant. You or I can go buy shares whenever we're ready.

    Perhaps a little broader than that. If you vote republican you are an uneducated racist bigot who hates freedom. Article does not surprise me in the least. God bless

    No it just means that a lot of people in this thread have been demonstrating ignorance. I particularly enjoyed you conflating immigration amnesty with socialism. That was nice.

    You even going to try and justify equating socialism and immigration policy or you just conceding that it was an ignorant statement?

    I can see that. You have mentioned his before. Pretty basic my friend. Don't misuse Gods name. Seeing that I try to end my post with God bless, I concluded this might be a problem for you. I mean to honor him. It's a good wish for someones future welfare.Good night and God bless

    Immigration policy changed? When? Last I checked, this administration set a new record on the number of deported illegal aliens...

    Oh and Barry has been Bush Jr 3rd term pretty much. For a 'lefty socialist' he damn sure looks to be quite to the right...

    DERP SOCIALIST DERP!

    i cannot determine if its more sad that you try to conflate him with the buzz words amnesty, socialist or welfare. simple minds simple pleasures i guess. even your comments on policy are generalizations of rhetoric. thats why you are called ignorant

    SOCIALIST DERP!!! AMNESTY DERP!!! WELFARE DERP!!!

    i am sure that you think i am a democrat for telling you this too. think outside the box man.

    According to Senate Budget Committee Republicans, spending on the federal government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — food stamps – has quadrupled since 2001 and doubled in just the last four years. In the same four-year period, the number of Americans on those benefits increased 65 percent, from 28.8 million in 2008 to 46.6 million in 2012.

    The question is, is it out of necessity due to the depression, or is it policy? And if it's the later, why did the red team approve such spending?

    math lesson for elnono:

    to simplify things, let's say food stamp spending was at a 1 in 2001. now times that by 4.

    1 x 4 = 4

    4-1 = 3. so food stamp spending increased by 3 from 2001-2008.


    now legs fastforward to the last 4 years, where it doubled.

    4 x 2 = 8

    8 - 4 = 4. so spending increased by 4.

    which number is bigger, 4 or 3? in this scenario, food stamp spending increased by more in the last 4 years than it did in the previous 7.

    see how that works?

    math

    I'm not disputing the contention that food stamp spending grew more during the past 4 years than the last 10. That actually makes sense considering the tanking of the economy post-TARP, including the recession. Much like other government assistance programs like unemployment benefits, those things go in high demand when the economy is in the ter.

    What I'm disputing is that the growth = socialism. Under that premise, red team members are just as "socialist" as Barry, seeing that during those 10 years, SNAP spending quadrupled...

    In addition, don't forget that SNAP spending isn't controlled by the president. It's controlled by Congress. We can argue whether it's too much or not, but those pointing fingers are just as responsible for the increase.
