From the Prince Podcast Forums

(Listener) I've listened to all these podcasts and I was warned that this guy has some strong conservative opinions. I don't have a problem with that. What I have a problem with is that he resorts to generalizations based on I don't know what.

"They" have their own TV stations. Does he mean to imply that Telemundo and Univision only cater to illegal immigrants as opposed to legal immigrants here who are grateful for these stations? I know a few expatriates living abroad, a client of mine who lives in Tokyo, for example. She's in Japan legally, but she doesn't know the language fluently. I'm sure shes grateful for programming that's in English. I'm sure she's glad for bilingual signs.

Another thing is why do conservatives constantly accuse liberals of behavior that conservatives themselves exhibit? It's more likely than not that conservatives are a creationist, pro-life, homophobic group, yet liberals are close-minded? Liberals love their cocktail parties? You make a statement like that and I can't take you seriously, even if your message has merit.

But what I really find offensive is that this guy has the balls to bit about Democrats being traitors to this country for agreeing with Calderon about the Arizona law and he turns around and compares Obama to Osama bin Laden?? This is the 2nd time he's made this comparison between Obama and the man who orchestrated the deaths of nearly 3000 Americans on 9/11. REALLY?? You want to continue to make that comparison?

And why do conservatives continue to say the new law in Arizona does not provide for racial profiling so Democrats should stop touting that? The 13th Amendment made slavery illegal, but blacks were still assaulted, whipped, lynched. It's against the law to kill people and people are killed I'm sure everyday. Unless ALL the cops in Arizona are tolerant and open-minded, it won't be a problem, will it? And making racial profiling illegal will insure it doesn't happen, right? Right. Until businesses and corporate America stop exploiting illegals as cheap labor, I find it hard to be moved by this urgency to rid the country of them.

So if you want me toconsider your poin of view, just come at me with some less general, broad-stroking statements.


(Jean-Marc) Really? You’ve listened to “all” of my podcasts? Wow, I’m flattered! None of my family nor friends have listened to “all” of them, yet. Right off the bat I find it hard to believe that you don’t have a problem with my conservative opinions. Unless you yourself are a conservative, then I imagine you would have a problem with them, hence the point of your comments.

As for generalizations, what is wrong with them? Do we not ALL generalize? And are they not based on our own personal observations as well as our knowledge and understanding of the world? Unless you’re going to travel the earth like Kane from Kung Fu, and shake 5 or 6 billions hands, then you must generalize.

Whether legal or illegal, it does no good to cater to immigrants. By not encouraging assimilation it makes everything worse; for them as well as us. Like I said before, according to Mark Steyn (who I’ll put up against any thinker)- bilingualism equals conflict.

Now you really expose yourself with your comments of conservatives. I’m not sure what being pro-life or creationist has to do with “open’mindedness,” but who says we’re homophobic? And what sort of broad generalization is that, hmmmmm?

The liberal elites run the big cities, hence the cocktail party comment. You’re lack of awareness on this staement, and protest of it tells me you have no idea what I am talking about and it simply isn’t worth the time and effort to bring you up to speed at this point, though I will if you insist. Funny though how that one statement has you so readily willing to discard anything else I have said…open-minded indeed.

In regards to Osama and Obama: what offends you here? When you look at their statements on paper, it is almost impossible to differentiate. Lemme ask you something, who said this, “"All of the industrialised countries, especially the big ones, bear responsibility for the global warming crisis?" Al Gore? No. Barack Obama? No. Sheryl Crow? No. Osama Bin Laden? Bingo! Trust me, I could give you a quiz like this that you would fail miserably.

As far as I know, racial profiling is already illegal, which is why the Arizona law specifically prohibits it! In fact, the Arizona law is more lenient than the federal law which is already on the books! Sadly, it is simply not being enforced thus Gov. Jan Brewer’s courageous decision to stand up to the feds, tell Obama to do his job, and to take matters into her own hands.

I leave you with one quote, which I really hope you’ll ponder, “The worst deluded are the self-deluded.”
