Fight for your right to have no regulation so the powerful can use their power to diminish the power of the underclass!

Fight for your right to have the wealthy set up a system that encourages you to be dependent on the government!

I agree with you, we should end government dependency:

Stop buying this nonsense dems are feeding their supporters.

Offer an alternative who is not a corporate whore, warmonger, religious freak, or neo fascist.

Fair enough. Let me know if you change your mind.

Instead he is smuggling thousands of illegals

Full stop. We can't have these conversations and expect any understanding when you dive off the deep end with hyperbole like this. Obama has continued deportations, even aggressively so. Congress won't address immigration reform mainly because the GOP House banks on their quasi-racist hard line on the topic.

Obama can't just close tax loopholes or reverse tax incentives for corporations who offshore operations and money by fiat.

About what specifically. Someone I know just died and their spouse will get death benefits due to Obama.

I can also cite things I hate about him. Same with red team. So I agree, but I also don't have Utopia as an option.

I started a post highlighting that sentence saying "this is why you're not taken seriously", and then I stopped and opted for sprinkler toys.

How do you suggest President Obama secure the border?

Why can't he just close tax loopholes? Doesn't he have a pen and phone?

You realize that using Executive Orders to change the tax code would create a massive outcry by Republicans? They're already accusing him of some Imperial Presidency stuff, even though his use of such signing orders and such is far less than his predecessor.

What racism?

Republicans admit racism is contributing to immigration reform gridlock (http://www.salon.com/2014/01/30/republicans_admit_racism_is_contributing_to_immigration_reform_gridlock/)

GOP says they will not have conversation until border is secured. Don't you think that's the right approach?

What makes it the right approach? The problem is we already have millions of undocumented immigrants already here. That's a problem for us, irrespective of whether the "borders are secure." If anything, there needs to be a joint approach - one that "secures the borders" while also realistically addressing the millions of people living and working in this country.

But practically and politically speaking, this "secure borders" claptrap is just a red herring - a conveniently non-racist sounding rationale not to do anything productive about our immigration issues that so-happens to be a pie-in-the-sky demand without precisely identified benchmarks. How "secure" is secure, for instance? How many billions of dollars do we have to spend on border patrol agents and border-control technology and infrastructure, before we can finally turn to creating a ten-year-long glide path to quasi-citizenship for people who have always thought of the U.S. as their home? Talking about "border security" as a precondition to even talking about immigration reform is just like complaining that you don't trust the presidency or holding endless hearings trying to figure out what happened to some IRS official's e-mails. A massive diversion, political theater, utterly nonsensical red meat.
