What is the easiest way to be a successful right-wing political commentator?

In America, it seems to be that if you come from a minority and take political positions against the interests of that minority, you will have a huge market in the American Conservative movement. There is nothing that affluent white men like more than to think their political positions are not selfish or privileged because (a few) disadvantaged people agree with them.

How can I be racist when I agree with Walter Williams about black families and the welfare state? How can I be prejudiced when Milo is gay? Joe the plumber is working class and hates 'Big Government'. Someone on Youtube calls herself a 'factual feminist' by re-framing feminism using gigantic straw-man (or straw-woman) arguments. See, I am a nice person because look [i]who [/i]said this what I agree with.

Of course none of these people have views which represent the broad opinions of the communities that they come from. They do like money though and where there is a demand for something, there will be always be someone willing to meet that demand.

What is the most successful way to be a delusional left wing liberal politician ? Hide under the guise of the inclusion banner while shutting down any free speech you disagree with. Flood your country with illiterate low skilled misfit illegal immigrants and hand them entitlements in return for their votes. After you spend years in political office raping tax payers for your living, go on a book and speech tour and get paid millions of dollars by the lobbyists you did favors for while you were in office.

If all that fails, just go into a college and I guess become a Marxist professor, then indoctrinate young people with leftists ideas which only work well on a chalkboard but never in reality.

Oh if you wondered why I didn't discuss a left wing talk show host. Well that is because their audience has virtually zero ratings. Maybe you and a few fringe left wing nutcases listen to that garbage but people who work for a living don't.

Btw, you know nothing about the American population, its culture or the US Constitution, so stop trying you pretend to know or speak for any of us.

Okay... Where to start?

The idea that America encouraged immigration to give votes for the Dems has never been proven and looks even more ridiculous when you consider that the Republicans had similar immigration policies until very recently.

Corporate lobbying does affect the democrats (and pushes them further to the right) but Republicans have for the most part been even deeper in it. Marxist college professors are a rare breed in America, assuming that you actually know what Marxism is. Liberal talk shows get less viewings than there Conservative counterparts, though maybe that is because Liberals read more.

You say I know nothing of US politics but have done nothing to refute my arguments. This question has been hearted by a dozen of your compatriots and regardless of nationality, your entire post is politically illiterate.

@Burnley123: Enjoy becoming Islamic and sharia law because that is where your heading. Either that or civil war in Europe over the next few years. Your ignorance to reality is your only comfort. Enjoy it.

@therighttothink50: You know even less about UK politics. Congratulations on a stunning feat! 😜

@Burnley123:

He is correct that the U.K. Muslim population increased daily. Shortly after muslims take control of France they will take control of the U.K. Smart thinking on your part to jump on the train early 😉

@Jackjjacksonjr: I'm gonna post one of my essay length questions on this sometime soon because this is a ridiculous myth which needs debunking. Watch this space...

@therightothink50: you may not have noticed, but the President of the United States, is calling the press, the enemy of the people. Perhaps you can share your thoughts on how the left is killing free speech?

As to your claim, that leftists changed immigration policies, to increase votes, if this were true, then multiple Republican administrations, would have done something about it. Reality is, that changes in immigration laws, were made to diversify America. As a matter of fact, the less educated, Hispanic voters, lean on the conservative side, when it comes to Abortion, religion and race issues.

Left wing talk show hosts have zero ratings? Where do you get your information from? the Trump twitter feed? Other than your opinion, do you have any data to back this up?

@Burnley123: Don't confuse them with reality :-) the Muslim population issue, in the UK and France is far more complex than some people may be able to absorb.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@Northwest: I can absorb it though. You can do long dorky posts with too much detail and so can I. 😝

Northwest · M

@Burnley123: In that case, I look forward to your post :-)

I'm drunk in the pub now so its not the time but when sober I can be most fucking wonkish. 😘

@Burnley123: Good for you :-) I'm at Starbucks. Nothing that strong here, but I personally stick to tea, Earl Grey.

@Burnley123: @Northwest:

Looking forward to your essays re the causes and effects of dramatic and sustained muslim population increases in Europe. Before you two get ahead of yourselves I do recognize some positives. No doubt both of you will cover the subject thoroughly.

OK, it looks like you were either out sick, when they covered the topic in Health class, or you simply did not want the topic covered in your school, but it starts out with a guy liking a girl, and the girl liking him back, or a guy liking a guy, and the guy liking him back, and they find a surrogate mother, or a girl likes a girl, and the girl likes her back, and they find a sperm donor....

@Northwest:

No need to be snarky my friend and yes I continue to be impressed by your ability to use the quote tool. I'm old school and use the "marks" 😀

Anyway you're correct that between migration and high birth rates if present trends continue the majority of the world's population will be Muslim.

I nonetheless eagerly await the essays you gentlemen produce.

@Northwest: LMFAO!
