Sorry but I don't want to derail the thread by moving to all this that is all non sequitur to what I posted. Thanks for understanding.
Oh and here is President Obama advocating for the secure fence act:
Wow, how reasonable...
1) First, let's look at what the video states in writing..."Remember when Obama Supported a Border Wall?" Yet, Obama's speech in the video, in which you conveniently presented, spoke of fencing, not a wall. His words: "...much needed funding for better fences." So, despite the later added caption to define the speech, the speech speaks for itself. But, you knew this, didn't you? You chose to misrepresent because your ideology isn't strong enough to argue on its own. You need to misrepresent in order to legitimize your argument. What should this tell you about your argument?
2) Second, producing this video, in which the entire universe has known about since 2006, does nothing for the issue, nor does it change the facts. The Secure Fence Act of 2006 is a black & white document that everybody can read and is clearly about 700 miles of fencing, not a concrete wall spanning thousands. But you knew this too, didn't you? You chose to misrepresent the Act. But, as long as FOX News legitimizes the lies for you, you will continue to dismiss reason and misrepresent history because FOX News "tells the truth."

Well, j-mac, there's your answer. Here is exactly why I can safely declare what I did. Do you think AlbqOwl is simply unaware or is she simply using lies to try to legitimize an obtuse argument? And do you actually think she gets this hardened position from any news medium other than FOX News? Clearly, the need to cling to obvious lies and false narratives is far more satisfying than honestly looking at the situation with reason.
