With every one of Ajax's posts, it becomes ever more evident that his views are motivated by outright, vicious bigotry and selfishness and very little else! I can't help getting a growing conviction that he is entirely devoid of any charitable or loving feelings for anyone other than his self or other white males just as narrow minded, bigoted and at least as affluent as he is.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

The frustrating thing with Ajax is he's impervious to reason. I gave him some bread crumbs to Google when I mentioned Reagan, Bush1, and Bush2 to help him understand that this issue isn't really a concern for the GOP.

Of course he doesn't Google it. Of course.

Instead he just farts out the first thing that comes into his mind and he's off on his merry way. If he could take a common sense approach to the matter and then articulate why paying people on welfare to pick apples at $20/hour isn't possible or why, because Americans simply wouldn't pick apples, that new tech would be developed to pick apples and that's good for innovation in farming, then I'd be able to see his point of view. If he could articulate why illegal immigrants cost us more money than they make us (which is an admittedly nuanced thing to do) instead of farting out terms like anchor babies or whatever then I might be able to try and understand him better.

Like. Where does this White utopia thing come from? Does he think White people somehow were more peaceful than other races? Or does he think, say, if things could be the way they were in the 50's, after Whites got done murdering each other to the tune of 100 million deaths, that he'd have more money, a lake house, a wife vacuuming in her apron, and the Negroes would know their place?

None of it makes any sense. The world was never meant to exist in isolated pockets as soon as we figured out how to build roads, boats, and saddles. His only hope for a White utopia is a damn ing HOA that charges about $500 month as a wink and nod to other Whites that they're keeping the riff raff out.

So because illegal immigrants are less expensive they are easier to exploit for profit....ok, its great that you have the data to back up how illegals are tantamount to a class of people who must surely enjoy the upper tier of American life.
I'm guessing you have some formula that keeps illegal immigrants in this economically exploitive position upon their acquisition of citizenship?

I agree with every one of your points, especially "The frustrating thing with Ajax is he's impervious to reason." He reminds me of Martin Luther's condemnation of the very attempt to rely upon reason:
Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.

I can't help getting the impression that Majax has very much the same attitude towards the use of evidence and reason--at least when it comes to things political.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
