fulfuel, the same goes here but conveniently this year the obummer administration saw fit to interrupt the flow of workers and created a severe shortage of farm labor this late summer causing crops to be left unharvested, our needed labor force was about 3 weeks behind schedule.

In Stamford Conn.5 miles from NYC we have street signs saying were to stand and were to get pickup. Their usually several hundred by the railroad in the morning.

I personally have let it be known that myself, my family and my workers will not patronize, donate or work for any business, church or organization that supports, hires or give charity to any illegals or support groups. I ask out right what their stand and practices are. I either get an answer yes or no or a snide remark. Either way I get an answer. When I went to 112 Dodge to order my truck I asked the salesman if the guy cutting the grass was an illegal. Tore up my order and put the cash payment in my pocket and explained to the sales manger what cost him a 100% cash sale.

Amnesty? How about an apology to the American tax payer for screwing us over. . .again, than listen to us and shut the door.

This should be in front of every person who was elected to work for the people"

Obama’s terror speech perfectly highlights reasons for Trump’s rise

Reuters / December 7, 2015

Here’s President Barack Obama on the war against Islamic State: “Our success won’t depend on tough talk or abandoning or values or giving into fear. . . . We will prevail by being strong and smart.”

Here’s Donald Trump: “Every time things get worse, I do better. Because people have confidence in me.” He promised, “We’re going to be so tough and so mean and so nasty.”

What we’re seeing right now in American politics is class warfare. But not the kind of class warfare Bernie Sanders would understand. It’s not the working class versus the 1 percent. It’s the working class versus the educated elite. In fact, one of the richest men in the world is leading the revolt: Trump.

Trump’s support for the Republican nomination is not defined by ideology or age or gender. It’s defined by education. Among GOP voters with a college degree in the latest CNN poll, Trump comes in fourth with just 18 percent. But he has a huge lead among non-college voters — 46 percent. No other candidate comes close.

Today, in the United States, the richer you are, the more likely you are to vote Republican. The better educated you are, the more likely you are to vote Democratic. We saw it in the last presidential race. It was Mitt Romney, the prince of wealth, versus Obama, the prince of education.

Romney lost because of his elitist economic values. He was Mr. 1 Percent, disdainful of the “47 percent” who, he argued, are dependent on government. Trump, on the other hand, is rallying white working class voters. Not around their economic interests. Around their values.

Trump is the anti-Obama. He was the first Republican candidate to challenge Obama on the “birther” issue. To Trump supporters, Obama is the ultimate educated snob — the candidate who, in 2012, was disdainful of hard-pressed small-town voters who “cling to guns and religion . . . or anti-immigrant sentiment.”

Obama insists on facts. “We need to know all the facts,” he said immediately after the San Bernadino killings. Trump doesn’t deal in facts. The New York Times just completed a comprehensive analysis of every public statement by Trump over the past week. The conclusion? “Mr. Trump uses rhetoric to erode people’s trust in facts, numbers, nuance, government and the news media.” He still claims he saw “thousands and thousands” of Muslims in New Jersey cheering and celebrating after the 9/11 attacks, even though there is no factual basis for the claim.

Trump does not hide his contempt for Obama. “There is something going on with him that we don’t know about,” Trump said at a recent campaign rally. He doesn’t think Obama’s smart: “How does a bad student go to Columbia and then to Harvard?” Unlike himself: “When you’re really, really smart like I am . . . ” Trump said. Trump spent his first two college years at Fordham University before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton School. The two men exhibit two different kinds of intelligence — book smarts versus money smarts. Guess which one Americans admire more.

Obama is thoughtful, knowledgeable and progressive: the professor-in-chief. He’s always had trouble connecting with white working-class voters. He lost them to Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primaries.

Given the anger and fear that has seized the country, a lot of voters are looking for an altogether different kind of leader than Obama. “The nation needs a wartime president,” Senator Ted Cruz said. Someone who can be trusted to keep them safe. Trump pledges to keep out immigrants who might be recruited to the terrorist cause. Obama calls for gun control. “As if somehow terrorists care about what our gun laws are,” presidential aspirant Senator Marco Rubio said.

Resentment of education has always been stronger than resentment of wealth in the United States. Especially since the educated elite has come to embrace liberal cultural values — values that conservatives denounce as “political correctness.”

No one is less politically correct than Trump. He claimed that some people failed to report suspicions about the California killers because of concerns about racial profiling. “We have become so politically correct that we don’t know what the hell we’re doing,” Trump said.

Trump’s appeal to Republicans isn’t based on conservative ideology. It’s because many Republicans share his hatred of Obama. Republicans are rallying to Trump’s cause and may even nominate him. But white working class voters are a shrinking part of the electorate. Most Americans will be uneasy at the prospect of electing a hater to be their president. In fact, a new NBC News-Telemundo poll shows Hillary Clinton beating him by 12 points.

Don't we have a racial divider / religious divider elitist in office now , who hates all that disagree with him and his people???

[carlotpilot]

whether trumps right or wrong he is damn sure stirring up the political scene , most of what he is saying sorely needs to be said. whether you are rich poor or other listen carefully you will learn much. polls are bent to suit the publisher

I recall Donald Trump pulling some super shitty moves in Scotland to build a golf course, displaced some families/farms that had been there for centuries. If it weren't for some of those moves, I'd be a bigger supporter of the guy.

I do derive a great deal of satisfaction seeing liberal's gaping jaws at his comments though. . . maybe, just maybe, he is giving a voice to the silent, rational majority that grips the lib's.

For some reason as I was thinking about Trump I thought about Reggie:
