The result of Hitler's project, far from "successfully eradicating communism," was half of Germany under the complete control of the Soviet Union for forty years.
This line of so-called "thought" is not only repugnant but also irrational.

In 1800, there were no US laws regulating immigration at all. It was unlimited and legal.
The first US immigration restriction was the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
In 1924, "free white persons" from Europe were subjected to strict quotas - the first "limited legal" system.

The same is true in Canada except, instead of Republicans and Democrats, it’s Liberals, Conservatives, New Democrats and even People’s Partiers.
Republicans and Democrats begin the #immigration debate on how many immigrants the government's central planners should allow.
Libertarians begin the immigration debate by rejecting the idea that the government should have central planners.

Democrats will literally go on Twitter and brag about how they intend to use the law to subvert democracy instead of going to therapy

The suspension of Caryn Ann Harlos is unsupported by evidence and violates due process. It reflects systemic issues within the LNC, as corroborated by donor sentiment data, rather than misconduct by Ms. Harlos.

Prohibiting treatments commonly available in other countries protects Big Pharma, not consumers. While the wealthy can simply take medical vacations, the poor are left without treatment.

The purpose of cash bail is to ensure that the defendant returns to court. Setting high bail values to prevent release puts a cash price on freedom. If someone is too dangerous to be released, bail should instead be denied entirely.

Plurality, or first-past-the-post, voting systems inevitably lead to the creation of two-party systems. Alternative voting methods, such as ranked choice, approval, or STAR voting produce more representative results.

Our justice system should focus on restoring victims whenever possible, reserving incarceration for the most egregious cases where there is no other way to dissuade someone from harming another. Property crimes, in particular, should focus on restitution.
