Quote:
A conservative is a liberal who's gotten robbed.
In terms of opinion on criminal justice and dislike for immigrants, this is what happens very often here. I used to be extremely tolerant until a drug-dealing immigrant family from what I presume to be Cape Verde (might also be the Dominican Republic - they've certainly been there for a while once, judging from their souvenirs) moved into the house next door. My sister's bicycle was stolen from our garden. A friend of mine had his bicycle stolen in broad daylight by a black man. Another two bicycles were stolen a few metres from my house, and someone's car was stolen in broad daylight in view of my living room. A Moroccan attacked me; another destroyed something in my garden; yet another called my mother a white whore for walking a dog. It's these little things that make people extremely uneasy, especially knowing we pay for their health care and housing.

Doesn't have to mention patriotism to be about it.

All you gotta do now is punch one of them defending yourself, and then the arrest part will be covered and you'll be a libertarian.

Many illegal immigrant workers pay the payroll tax without extracting it's benefit.

No, you're thinking of book burnings.
Why burn books with nobody around to watch?
If a conservative patriot burns a book all alone in the forest, do gay liberal atheist muslims hear it?
