@davidmaisel8062 : Actually, is says a lot that there are so many conservatives on the Jimmy Dore channel. It also says something that we generally behave ourselves and discuss things, rationally, compared to some. Conservatives come here because he's smart, funny, and he's half right on about half the issues. Good conservatives are anti-war, big-time. Jimmy calls it like he sees it. I don't have to agree with his bifocals to respect his integrity. He's the guy I want at all my parties, to sit and argue politics all night. Anything conservatives and progressives agree on is something that should probably be the law of the land. But other forces conspire to keep us apart. You want to size down the military to DEFENSIVE needs, and us to mind our own business? And libertarians are more open-borders than otherwise, especially the purists. I think open borders are fine, when people on both sides are livin' more or less the same and more or less the (a) right way. But a lot of those banana republics are so corrupt, they'll never maximize the brain power of their people for a thriving economy and a thriving middle class, which are the key to getting people to live cleaner and have a reasonable number of babies, without compulsion. Gotta evolve that kind of culture, and it starts by protecting people's property rights. That house a guy lavishes thousands of hours of improvements on, because it's HIS and he wants it to be beautiful. You don't get that in Section-8 housing. I just wish he and his cast were better-schooled on the real roots of freedom and prosperity, and how it isn't something the U.S. is hogging, but a way of life and treating each other, with equal protection under the law (for most of us), and respect for property rights. 90% of what's wrong in Africa is every time a guy builds something to be proud of, somebody with a gun comes along and takes it from them. I think Africa would explode, economically, if they all respected the rights of their people.

cj p : Bernie was a failure in the real world and he's been a success promising other people's money to yet other people. That's all Bernie's about. Virtue-signaling with other people's money, people who are generally more charitable and generous than he is, personally, but just don't want HIM deciding how their money is spent helping people.

@Gray-beard : I don't always agree with Carlson's opinions, and I agree with his opinions more often than I agree with his reasoning. Conservatives are often right for the wrong reasons. Liberals and Progressives are far more often wrong for some of the right reasons. There's a disconnect between setting goals and how to achieve them in the liberal mind that reveals a simplistic, mechanical view of the world and human nature, where they think it's OK to use force to MAKE things perfect, when wiser people understand that perfection is unattainable, and that freedom generally gets us closer to that ideal than government involvement in all aspects of life. Any wrong a liberal sees is justification for the use of force. Wiser people realize it's all about having the right incentives in place to get MORE people to behave as you would wish, than otherwise, and that includes letting them keep most of what they earn.

Then the ones who act up or act out can be dealt with, individually, because there's fewer of 'em, in the first instance, and the culture is well-armored against cheats, because nobody can hide behind the authorities.

jabs69 : Jimmy is just a guy off the street, without a ton of Western Civ under his belt. I think he gets it on the foreign-policy front, and he hates liars as much as anybody. But he and I disagree on what the true March of Progress is. It should be tilted more and more, over time, to individual autonomy, choice, and self-sufficiency, and he puts his faith in government institutions to do what people should be doing for themselves and each other, in an advanced CULTURE. Progressives always seek to perfect society so that fools can prosper, and then they complain about all the foolishness.

@warriorwaitress7690 : He'll dramatize the situation to make his point, sometimes overly so. Sometimes with a snide sarcasm, as well. The thing is, people like you want to have open arms for everybody, but you're making promises to those people with OTHER people's money and often safety, for affected areas along the border. I can't imagine living along some of those corridors without high fences, big dogs, and a gun to hand, anywhere on the property. Communities ARE under siege in some areas, and it's all part of the virtue-signaling WITHOUT A FREAKING PLAN. So the people delegated to actually DEAL with those people are absolutely overwhelmed. Not to mention our medical establishments, who drop everything to deal with these nonpaying emergency cases. Are YOU sending $1000/month check to one of the affected hospitals, or is that just their problem? This is why there's a HUGE nationalist-populist movement going on in Europe as we speak. Uncontrolled immigration has caused great unrest and upset, because their social services are strained to the breaking point. They really didn't (and still aren't) prepare(d) for the burdens they were placing on themselves by accepting all the refugees. The U.S. is much bigger than the current x-many-thousand illegals who come in each year, compared to the size of the Euro countries and the numbers THEY've allowed in. But it's still a real problem for America. Stemming the flow of illegals would be the best jobs program, ever, for underprivileged, under-trained working poor already living here. There's an illegal, packed with 10 others in one small house, who can TAKE $30 a day, but you need at least $50 a day, minimum, to keep your family in an apartment, and that's if the missus works, too.

Tucker Carlson a Nazi? The delusion is strong in that one, especially one who no doubt loves big government, which is more fascist than free.
