Now hold on there just a galdarn minute. How many times have you
claimed that everybody who disagrees with your crackpot ravings is a
leftist receiving "cheese checks"? And didn't you consider Hawke one
of those leftists right up until he said something about guns that you
agreed with? Is he now immune from being called a leftist? Will his
cheese checks now cease? Keeerist.
Except that Hawke is still a leftist and it wasn't even an original
thought. Doubtful that he even read any of Machiavelli's works. A
simple Google search of the term "Machiavelli well regulated militia"
reveals where Hawke plagiarized his "original" thought from. Besides,
anyone ho knows anything about Machiavelli is aware that he only wrote
in Italian.
Hawke is way out there on most things. On firearms, we usually agree.

Just thought you might want to know where I got the Machiavelli quote.
It came from a book I just finished reading titled A History of Warfare
by John Keegan. It's a direct quote from that book. You may disagree
with me on just about everything but do know that what I say is
accurate. I don't just throw **** around for the hell of it like some
people around here. Also, as someone who is financially conservative,
pro guns, and anti immigration, I think the label "leftist" is not what
I am. I have too many disagreements with true leftists. I know real
leftists and I argue with them all the time and think their views on
lots of things are out to lunch. The problem is that people who are
politically far to the right think anyone who disagrees with them is
a leftist. But when you are way out in right field everyone looks to be
to the left.

One last thing, as a political scientist I had to read Machiavelli, and
to those who are too unaware to know it, his works have been translated
into English.

A citizen of the United States, who is not an "American Indian", as
they were known for a few hundred years, who is anti immigration, is a
sort of a contradiction, aren't they?

Not if what one means by anti immigration is that the policy of the
country on immigration is that it should be both dramatically reduced
but also that the policies that are currently in place are strictly
enforced. We have plenty of laws against illegal immigration but they
are a sham. Enforce the current laws strictly and drastically reduce the
number of people allowed to move here and I would be very happy. I don't
mean no one can immigrate here, just a lot less. So that is what I mean
by anti immigration. That's not exactly what you might think the term means.
