      Because you suck at logic.

      A) you're too freakin' STUPID to grasp the concepts discussed
      2) you're an outright who gets her jollies playing dumb just to keep a discussion going.


      The readers will come to their own conclusions.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            In your opinion.

            I'm always still in trouble again

              Then perchance she should not insist on the ability to vote if she is refusing to take the steps that would allow her to do so. Because those steps are certainly available. It's like complaining about getting sunburned but refusing to use sunblock.

                That's just your opinion.

                  That's her problem then.

                    The sad thing is that she's probably not even seeing the idiocy of her standard tactics.

                      The fact that she is a citizen of three countries, has lived here more than long enough to become a citizen and give her allegiance to the US, and yet hasn't, and then whines about not being able to vote......

                        I really don't think people like her have any real concepts of how our political system really works.

                        We are NOT a "pure democracy", which is often expressed as two foxes and a chicken voting on what to have for lunch.

                        The left is trying their hardest to turn our system into a "democracy" where "the majority rules" no matter what, and the more people they can have who agree with them, the better.

                        I only want people to vote who are vested in this country with their citizenship. If they want to legally work here and pay taxes, that's on them.

                          They only want "pure democracy" when it benefits them. They are more than happy to ignore or overturn "the will of the majority" when it doesn't benefit them. Remember when Californians passed prop-8, but liberals quickly went to court to overturn it.

                            I guess it boils down to both sides want to fight for the future of our nation. But we have glaringly different views of what that future should be.
