AM Conservative radio cracks me up
Host:
This border crisis must be stopped, refugees need to wait in line!Now let me transition to Food for the Poor. Only you can stop the hungry people in Haiti. Go to foodforthepoor . com and donate and help these poor people stuck on an island. $9 feeds 92 families of four and gives them water for life.
- you have selective listening skills... that or you're purposely leaving out factsPonyBoy
- The right has selective compassion skills.BonSeff
- If it's about 'feelings'... then the left most certainly wins... still doesn't mean your statement wasn't straight-up false.PonyBoy
- what statement is false?monospaced
- the use of the word 'refugee' is often incorrect - the percentages show most folks are just busting the border for work / better life - they're not 'refugees'PonyBoy
- Cool, great. You proved my point and also acknowledge there is no national emergency. word.BonSeff
- You said nothing of emergency while using a word (refugee) that is inaccurate at best and obviously emotionally driven—not fact driven—you have no point, bon...PonyBoy
- ... you wanted to talk shit because you heard a commercial for an obvious charity and felt you'd associate w/some dude's radio show... again-you have no point.PonyBoy
- Why don't you do some research about how our CIA completely ran amok in central America and get back to me.BonSeff
- My point was the right's feigning empathy.BonSeff
- But that went right by you.BonSeff
- They have plenty of empathy but simply don't run on emotion when their are obvious differences between a 'refugee' and someone breaking the law.PonyBoy
- Focus on changing our border laws if you want to let more folks in 'legally'... calling out republicans as unempathetic isn't going to do shit...PonyBoy
- ... and skims right over the reality that there is a huge difference between someone running for their lives (refugees) and someone looking for a better life.PonyBoy
- *their = therePonyBoy
- Right here on QBN there are 'legal' aliens living in the States. They've been here for 15+ years (they can out themselves if they want - not my place to)...PonyBoy
- ... the point is they came here legally and ARE STILL working on their citizenship. Those who break the fucking border that aren't refugees...PonyBoy
- Meh, I can't... Thanks for weighing in.BonSeff
- ... are skipping that 'line' you spoke of. That is what your radio conservatives are preaching... that's not a lack of empathy either. If you listen closely...PonyBoy
- ... they're all for immigration as long as the rules are followed. Again - if the rules are shitty (I think they are)... let's change them by discussing that...PonyBoy
- ... instead of trying to equate all conservatives as unempathetic... else you'll be considered unreasonable (and a dick) by anyone w/a touch of common sense.PonyBoy
- "Meh, I can't... Thanks for weighing in."
Yeah... that's weak, Bon... you can talk shit but you can't back it up. <3 *hugsPonyBoy - Not weak, again, mix in some research on central america. I am not going to do it for you.BonSeff
- talk shit? what are you, in 8th grade? jesus dude.BonSeff
- lol.. you're talking shit instead of using any facts... "refugees need to wait in line!" That is shit-talk... not fact-based. It's bunk. And yes yes...PonyBoy
- ... Central America has their heads up their asses in many countries... I would want to get the fuck out of those various spots w/my family just as...PonyBoy
- ... much as the next guy. And believe it or not pretty much every 'radio conservative' (the people you're shit-talking) agrees with you.PonyBoy
- The point here is that the MAJORITY of those illegally breaking the border are NOT refugees. Do your research on that... "I am not going to do it for you."PonyBoy
- "refugees need to wait in line!" That is shit-talk
Thank you, again proving my point!
I was talking about AM radio hostsBonSeff - Thanks for sticking around though... there's still a possibility of a conversation here. :)PonyBoy
- just stop.
you win, dogg. You are a big 'ol winner!
Fuckin word!BonSeff - *sigh... if that's all you got... then yeah... I win. *shrugsPonyBoy
- I need to meet with a contractor, but if you want to give yourself more rope, keep commenting. Go nuts!BonSeff
- factless... empty... still talking shit and not willing to address the difference between refugees and those simply breaking the law... weeeak.PonyBoy
- https://i.imgur.com/…Gnash
- you do realize that he's just quoting the host, not talking shit right?monospaced
- nope, fuck this exchange was brutal.BonSeff
- I guarantee the host didn't say 'refugees' wait in line—again—you changed words. You can't tell (or refuse to tell) the diff between an immigrant and a refugeePonyBoy
- Any 'conservative' am guy wouldn't make that mistake... or you're tuned into an idiot which would make sensePonyBoy
- Here in N. Texas between the two large markets on AM there is Davis, Gallagher, Prager, Hannity, Elder, Gorka, Loesch, Beck, Shapiro, Savage...BonSeff
- Yep, all idiots.BonSeff
- In terms of this declared national emergency on the southern border, what is your distinction between immigrant ans refugee?BonSeff
- Both Cruz and Rubio trotted out stories about their folks coming to America with a fiver in their underwear. Where would you slot them?BonSeff
- I gave you my distinction above... and Beck, Hannity, Elder, Beck... Savage... blah blah wouldn't turn away a real refugee (someone running for their life)PonyBoy
- I know a lot of folks w/a fiver left in their pants (been there myself... sure you've been there too)... those aren't refugeesPonyBoy
- If you're coming here for a better life you're not alone. I'll say it again... there are legal QBNrs here in the states that reup their green card status...PonyBoy
- ... but are still here LEGALLY. Keyword right there, bon. You want to mix definitions then shit all over conservatives based on your definition... pretty sillyPonyBoy
- Do you think it's right to cut in line, Bon? Do you do it at the store? You teach your kids to do that?PonyBoy
- For the number of friends / loved ones I have... I truly feel bad that they have been here in the States 15+ years and are still working on their...PonyBoy
- ... citizenship. Meanwhile hundreds of thousands hop the border w/out a fuck given and someone speaks up about and they're called 'racist'.PonyBoy
- I'm all for overhauling our immigration laws.. but until that time comes get in fucking line w/everyone else doing it legally.PonyBoy
- Nobody has said anything about racism. Border jumpers are here because there is a market for them. Milton Friedman and all that shit.BonSeff
- For the record:
Border jumpers ≠ refugee imho.
I grew up in an agricultural border town.BonSeff - Central Americans are another ball of wax.BonSeff
