Here’s the dishonest setup followed by the dishonest question: “The question that no open-borders advocate has ever answered is, How many illegals should be allowed into the United States?” He’s a liar.

Statists Want You to Believe You’re Stupid
Statists want you to believe you aren’t smart enough to know how to solve problems. They say you have to trust the president or congress or the city council to do what’s necessary because you can’t possibly understand the issues. You don’t see “The Big Picture”* and don’t understand “how these things work”.
Statists Defend Their God
The storm threatening New Orleans led to a discussion of 2005’s Hurricane Katrina wherein I pointed out how much worse government (and foolish reliance on government) made the disaster. A statist in the conversation tried to paint government employees as good-intentioned but crippled by the bad behavior of the storm’s victims.
The Census and “The Citizenship Question”
The census is “allowed” by the Constitution to ask one question: “How many people live here?” That’s it. Period. It isn’t allowed to ask anything else, including whether those who are responding are slaves to the US State… I mean, “citizens of the US”.
Illegitimate Laws Poison Society
While most laws are illegitimate, you can’t safely ignore them. Every law, no matter how seemingly trivial, is a threat to kill you if you are caught ignoring it. This threat isn’t usually carried out immediately; those enforcing the law must normally escalate their enforcement attempts a few times before that happens. Yet it does happen.
“Intersectionality”

“Never again!” The Fireworks Stand
I spent the past couple of weeks working a fireworks stand. It was hot, dusty, boring work– except on the 3rd and 4th when it was frequently crazy. And it wasn’t hot, dusty, or boring the two times it rained and the leaky fireworks stand threatened to drown all the fireworks. Only by great effort…
Time To Roast The Peacock
What amazes me is the amount of effort this “news organization” is putting towards trashing Trump. The contrast with the way they treated Obama makes this even more obvious. And disgusting.
The Freedom to Listen
Freedom of speech is meaningless if no one is allowed to listen, or if listening is made so difficult that it doesn’t happen.
Market Regulated Just Right Amount
I love watching the market work. I don’t call it “the free market” because if it’s not free it’s not a market. Under government rules and regulations what survives is a pale shadow of a market; the more rules, the dimmer the shadow. Fortunately even this shadow of a market is enough to make life better for everyone; much better than the more regulated alternative. I appreciate this.
