stories of “obvious illegal immigrants defecating in the woods, fornicating in the woods.”
I think they’ve confused immigrants with bears…
I just think there obviously way beyond confused.
You should consider voting Democratic, Bier. It’s actually kind of the obvious solution to the problem you address. Nothing will change “conservatives” or “Republicans” until they start losing, and losing REALLY badly.
“The data is the thing that’s going to win people over,” he said.
Oh, honey, you’re at Fascist Bonnaroo. They make you leave your data at the security checkpoint.
Or wild popes…
Do bears defecate in the woods?
Are Republicans racists?
I guess it was obvious that they were immigrants BECAUSE they were pooping in the woods. A homeless American would never, ever do anything like that!
To be fair, most bears are brown… These aren’t the brightest group of hominids we’re talking about here.
Very scary. And they weren’t even liquored up.
This would be funny if it did not so resemble the political discourse in Germany in 1932 or Russia in 1917.
It does not help when liberals like Bernie Sanders pop off with cracks like Clinton was responsible for the Russian interference in the election when he hears they tried (and, in suppressing the vote, probably succeeded, though it is not Sanders’ fault) to use his campaign to split Dems like they did to Republicans. It just gives Putin another point on the scoreboard.
“The data is the thing that’s going to win people over,” he said.
Not in the post-data, post-facts, post-truth era ushered in by Reagan. If data, facts, and truth had any value, there’d still be a Fairness Doctrine.
“There’s always a very large contingent most passionate about immigration—about opposing it. It certainly seems like the passion is always with the side that wants to restrict it and not with the side that wants it to be more open.”
Yes, that would be the racist contingent. (Ooops, sorry, I should be careful not to shame fellow citizens of a conservative bent - they might vote for trump if I do!)
Anyway, the description of this panel in the article here is unsurprising, yet still amazing. It sounds like it was a shit show. This is supposed to be a premier event of the right, yet they behave like slavering fools. The GOP is a joke that would be funny if they weren’t so dangerous.
When Cato is too liberal for CPAC.
From the crowd reaction we can fully understand why they insisted on having a gun-free zone.
Bier said he still believes in the power of facts and research to convince conservatives of the benefits of immigration.
Oh you poor, poor young man… the whole world needs the party you think you’re part of to exist. The problem is that it doesn’t. You’re in the xenophobe party - what you actually are is a centrist Democrat.
“Bier said he still believes in the power of facts and research to convince conservatives of the benefits of immigration.”
Conservatives don’t want to hear your fancy-schmancy “facts” or “research”. Not while there’s furriners fornicating freely and frequently in the forest!
Lol. You brought facts and data to a CPAC crowd?
Like selling refrigerators to Newcastle?
That is hilarious, isn’t it? Facts are only to be scorned to this crowd.
