Slavery was never made illegal. Just pushed behind walls where it couldn't be seen. Then corporatized. No mystery why laws are made to increase recidivism and prisons focus on punishment over rehabilitation. Have to make sure the slaves won't escape.

So too do Republicans. Most agriculture businesses are ran by Conservative Republicans. They love the Undocumented immigrant labor.

Corporate Republicans of 2007 are Democrats of 2017.

"Magats" of today are the new Patrick Henrys and Nathan Hale patriots of today. Be proud to be a MAGAT AND NATIONALIST and populist American. Make America proud and make it American in blended culture and ethnicity but beholden to no one.

#8...the thing about Pride, is it tends to predicate falls.Not to mention self-inflicted, more often than not. Your "patriotism" has a echo, pilgrim.

IRONY:
A convicted felon promoting more prisons to incarcerate criminals, while gaming the system to evade any prison time. Are lunatics running the asylums? Maybe. Certainly the criminals are running the prisons.

Irony?

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
I see a clinic full of cynics
Who want to twist the peoples' wrist
They're watching every move we make
We're all included on their list

...

The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my right to choose
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my point of view
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my dignity
Take these things away from me
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my family
Take away the right to speak
The lunatics have taken over the asylum take away my point of view
Take away my right to choose
...

Capitalists can't seem to survive without paying someone slave wages.
