Vince the Fox shares:
In 2007, there were 359 kidnappings in Phoenix. Our city is on its way to becoming the kidnapping capitol of the country. Every one of those 359 kidnappings involved illegal immigrants.
Even worse, last year, illegals shot two Phoenix police officers, killing one. A nation without secure borders is not a nation. America's porous borders threaten our national security and allow dangerous criminals into our communities.
Counter asks:
Why do we put up with it?
I hate to oversimplify this answer, but is it possible that MOST AMERICANS simply have not heard the TRUTH stated this clearly???
Example: I had not heard a statistic this glaring before. I'm guessing most Americans have not heard this either.
Where would we learn this sort of information? The news media
Why aren't they doing their job to educate the public, and tell the voters the truth that will enable us to make informed decisions about running our country?
Answer: Some stories, facts, truths run counter to their vision of the world, their favored party, and their agenda. Thus, we do not get the TRUTH.
This, I believe, is the primary reason Americans "put up withy this". Most Americans simply don't know the TRUTH, because those who are supposed to provide it have chosen not to.
P.S. With that in mind, last night I was at a local college campus for a concert. Boldly engraved at the entrance to the concert hall was the following statement:
"TO CONTEMPLATE TRUTH AND TO SHARE THE FRUITS OF THAT CONTEMPLATION" As far as I am concerned, that is brilliant. However, as Jack Nicholson's movie line goes, some people just "can't handle the TRUTH!"
