After a first read-through:
There might be actual fact in it. I'll see if digging upstream of his quotes reveals anything.

But the interpretation is pure WingNutDaily. And here's a hint for you in what seems to be a highly motivated but new personal interest for you - consider the quality of your sources. If Alex Jones or Sorcha Faal says something you can pretty much invert the statement 180 degrees and come close to reality. WND is not quite this bad but everything from them has an agenda and is spun through a deeply partisan filter.

Very funny, but I did find something to debunk Chuck Norris's sources,(http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=10669371&postcount=4) so don't try to stawman me.

The problem with this source is that it almost relies exclusively on unnamed sources, and an unverifiable memo.

Strawman? Surely you jest. You're the one with the clickbait thread titles and vague questions.

One wonders why you didn't do such investi-googling and much more BEFORE starting yet another "what about this" thread.
 
Have you ever come up with something that could be verified? You run heavy in the woo range at Skeptic.com.
Actually I don't believe in the carp I ask about, and I do work on debunking things myself as you can see on Skeptic.com. remember my war with Steve the Christ?
 
Debunking Chuck Norris Facts:
  • Chuck Norris has not counted to infinity.
  • Underneath Chuck's beard is just a chin.
  • Chuck Norris is not so fast that he can run around the Earth and punch himself from behind.
  • When Chuck Norris stares into the abyss, he does not make the abyss nervous.

Somebody, somewhere, can kick Chuck Norris's ass.
 
There is an old cartoon with a husband at the computer, surrounded by darkness, who says to his wife, "Sorry, I can't go to bed yet. Someone on the Internet is wrong."

So if your purpose is really to debunk Chuck Norris and simple absurdities, look up the obvious sources of information yourself first. If you find yourself truly driven in this regard, realize that a lot of "wrong" clutters the Internet "pipes" and given the massive amount of it out there one has to learn to live with it.
 
Thanks. That's it! Interesting how my brain added stuff, like dark shadows, to my memory of it.

I have seen a few different versions of the same cartoon, so perhaps thats what your mind is remembering
 
Well his claims about a radicalized civil rights division are bull. But what about his claims involving illegal immigrants becoming naturalized?

As a former Immigration officer I can say he is flat out wrong. I don't want get into the minutiae but he's way off base on advanced paroles. You have to adjust status from parole to something else. You also can't reenter on a parole so I'm not sure what he's talking about there.

Overall, there's nothing new in DACA. The authorities for what the President is doing are as old as The Immigration and Nationality Act. I think he slipped up because he didn't allow for public comment and hearing for changes to the CFR but really, the Service already has a great deal of authority to adjust the status of immigrants. Any immigration judge (who works for the Executive, not the judicial as the are all administrative law judges) can adjust an immigrant's status. I'm curious about what Chucky wants to do instead. It's not like we can deport 11 million people.

On another note do you realize how he keeps talking about freedom, but wants to essentially indoctrinate us with the bible?

Worse than removing religious freedom is that the curriculum is **** in the face rest place.

Just to sure you are referring to his claims here:
“Here is how the loophole works: Once an illegal immigrant has been given deferred action status through Obama’s DACA program, he or she can then apply for ‘advance parole’ status, a status normally given to lawful immigrants who have a pending green card application but can also show a pressing need to travel abroad that ‘serves the public interest.’”

Carroll added, “All a DACA recipient needs to do is invent a reason to travel back home (perhaps an ailing grandmother), apply for advance parole, and then reenter the country legally. Once they have reentered the country legally with their new advance parole status they are no longer an illegal immigrant and can now begin a path to citizenship just like any legal immigrant.”

To prove it, DHS confirmed in February through a conference call with House Judiciary Committee staff that, thus far, 4,566 DACA recipients have been granted advance parole status out of the 6,400 that have applied. That may not sound like a lot, but it is an 88 percent success rate, and the Obama regime is on the warpath even now to push for more by 2016.


Another claim the Norris has made
What’s tragically unfortunate is that Coptic Christians barely even get a mention by Obama’s administration and even less protection. People, like Coptic Christian priest Father Anthony Hanna, who immigrated to the United States with his wife and two sons, has pleaded for years to Obama to do more for his persecuted community. But when 21 Coptic Christians were beheaded by ISIS a few months ago, Obama referred to them only as “Egyptian citizens,” still offering no further help to those persecuted and hunted minority in the Middle East. Thank God for the country of Georgia, which has been one of the few refuges and havens for many of them.
But Obama has condemned similar violence in the past.

I like Chuck Norris ... easy to watch acting ... lots of action ... it dosen't matter if you some of the plot etc :)

But did't know until now he had political opinions ... and I don't care :)
 
Chuck Norris is the greatest and most demanding role ever conceived of by man or god(s). Only Chuck Norris is able to play Chuck Norris, he brings a special insight which makes every performance perfect, yet better than the time before.

But it's not acting if you're Chuck Norris playing Chuck Norris.
