Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform (March 19, 2013 Article)
LATimes.com ^ | March 19, 2013 | Michael A. Memoli

Posted on 04/21/2013 1:52:42 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

WASHINGTON — Sen. Rand Paul is calling for conservatives to embrace the cause of immigration reform, outlining a proposal that would grant some form of legal status to the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants after the federal government has certified that the border is secure.

Paul’s proposal, outlined in a speech to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Washington on Tuesday, carefully avoided the term citizenship. Instead, the Kentucky senator said he sought a middle ground that would include a multi-year process of granting visas to undocumented workers that would hinge on the annual verification of the security of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Paul echoed the key finding of an internal review from the Republican National Committee that called for the party to recast its image in order to attract minority voters, saying the GOP must change the perception of the party as anti-immigrant.

Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but “Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration.”

Ron Paul Campaign Uses Soros-funded Research
January 16, 2012
By Cliff Kincaid

Rick Santorum told Ron Paul in last Saturday’s debate: “You should know better than to cite George Soros-like organizations.” The comment came in response to attacks on Santorum’s record from the Texas Congressman and libertarian running in the Republican presidential primaries.

Exposed for using Soros-funded research in an attack ad charging that that Santorum had been “one of the most corrupt” members of Congress, Paul had no explanation or response, except to say that “somebody” had done a survey attacking Santorum and he used it in the ad. The Ron Paul ad includes the line, “I’m Ron Paul and I approve this message.”

The exchange adds to Republican fears that Paul is trying to weaken or divide Republicans in order to guarantee Obama’s re-election.

While some political observers question whether Paul has the staying power and widespread appeal to win the nomination, his campaign has proven unique in one respect: he’s drawing serious support from Muslims.

After abandoning the GOP in droves during the George W. Bush presidency, some Muslims say Paul is the kind of Republican who could draw them back and seriously challenge their loyalty to President Obama.

I post this because it involves groups that have openly supported the Islamic terrorists against the US

I know, it 3 days old but just wanted to be sure Ron Paul supporters saw this article. Suzie Benjamin of Code Pink,(note: she likes to be called “Medea” who in Greek mythology killed her children to spite her husband, lovely, huh, so call her Suzi, she hates that) who pals around with Adam Kokesh of IVAW, SDS, ANSWER. World Can’t Wait, has been hanging out with Ron Paul, based on my own personal observations going back to 2007. These are radical left wing nutcases! I have folks tell me “Well I like Paul’s policies on the federal reserve!” Really! Just remember what happened the last time folks ignored radical associations by someone running for President!
And make sure you add Veterans for Peace to this list of radical nutcases. A year or so ago I received an email from a troop supporter who sent me an email showing an exhibit that supposedly honored our fallen Warriors. IT WAS NOT HONORING OUR FALLEN WARRIORS, it was an anti-war exhibit of the vilest kind, exploiting the most noble among us who fought willingly and died nobly to give these creeps their right to freedom of speech.

Ron Paul’s core supporters are radical left wing ideologues so ask yourself this: Are you willing to stand with the likes of Suzi Benjamin and Adam Kokesh, because if you stand for Ron Paul, you stand with all these folks too. It’s just that simple!
And allow me to leave you with this fact: Adam Kokesh told this mother to my face that my Son, who served 4 deployments with the 82nd Airborne, was a terrorist and I was the mother of a terrorist! So the hard core Ron Paul supporters see my brave Son who was willing to lay his life down for this creep, as the terrorist! These are dangerous radicals and I suggest those who have thrown in with these nutcases take the blinders off and do some research!! Surely I would hope you ask yourself why Kokesh would call my Son a terrorist?!!! My Son, a Soldier who fought terrorists to keep us all safe, is the terrorist, in the eyes of the Iraq Veteran Against the War and Russian TV star Adam Kokesh. Do some research folks!
Those in the troop support movement whose boots have been on the ground since 2007 know Adam and Suzi and the whole bunch of traitors, and that is what they are, traitors to freedom and liberty!
One more piece of information voters should know about Suzi, she helped funnel $650,000 to the terrorists in Fallujah back in 2004, with the help of Congressman Henry Waxman. While our Soldiers were figthing and dying over there, she was sending money to the terrorists! I’m sure she loves Ron Paul, he thinks we should talk to these butchers! I remember 9/11 and I will never forget my fellow Americans who were slaughtered that day by psycho maniacs who have no interest in talking, only getting you to submit to them and their murderous way of life.

Ron Paul: Last of the Dixie Cons??

The Campaign for Liberty, a RON PAUL organization, was selling copies of the most anti-semitic publication in history, the PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION.

This book was used to justify murdering Jews around the world, and is still cited in Islamic extremist justifications for killing Jews.

An organization called Student Scholars for 9/11 Truth video taped an inpromtu appearance with Ron Paul and recorded some of his comments. They can be found here:
http://michellemalkin.com/2007/05/19/trutheriness-and-ron-paul/


While Ron Paul has said on TV shows such as Glen Beck that he dismisses the major theories, he openly says there is a coverup of what went on yet refuses to elaborate on just what is covered up. The 9/11 Comission clearly showed that intelligence failures happened because of Clinton era laws that prevented our inteligence agancies from communicating with each other.

On the website CONSPIRACY PLANET, information about Ron Paul and issues similar to this can be found:
http://www.conspiracyplanet.com/channel.cfm?ChannelID=90


Ron Paul has publically said that the CIA has accomplished a coup against America and needs to be taken out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dECSYm5bSM


A direct quote from this conference is as such:
(January 20, 2010) House Rep. Ron Paul says the CIA has in effect carried out a “coup” against the US government, and the intelligence agency needs to be “taken out.”

Speaking to an audience of like-minded libertarians at a Campaign for Liberty regional conference in Atlanta this past weekend, the Texas Republican said: “There’s been a coup, have you heard? It’s the CIA coup. The CIA runs everything, they run the military. They’re the ones who are over there lobbing missiles and bombs on countries...”

Additional video proof of him saying this here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SZKLvEOp9c


And here is one prominant website that supports the 9/11 conspiracy theories, calling for a RON PAUL PROVISIONAL ARMY to take over after we investigate the 9/11 events:

Among the other kooky connections to Ron Paul, is a UFO COnnection. I have yet to find the original article, but numerous articles repeat the belief of Ron Paul’s that UFO’s are real. Some of the Ron Paul sites have soeone trying to mock this belief, but the Ron Paul site, DailyPaul.com says this:
http://dailypaul.com/node/125999


This has been repeated again in San Francisco, not known to support conservatives or Libertarians anyways, but associated with Ron Paul out there were UFO enthusiasts mentioned in this article:
http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2007/08/ron_pauls_ufo_sighter_friends.php


How is it that the kookiest ideas are surrounding Ron Paul? Ron Paul, UFO disclosure, etc... simply nothing more than a pacifier — a distraction!

As homosexual Army soldier Bradley Manning’s treason trial continues at Fort Meade, Maryland, the support he has received from Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has been curiously ignored by the major media, now touting Paul as someone who could win the January 3 Iowa Republican Caucuses. Paul has called Manning, a crossdresser with acknowledged mental problems, a “hero” and “patriot” for stealing government secrets and providing them to WikiLeaks.

While campaigning in Iowa on Wednesday, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul praised the Occupy Wall Street movement, comparing it to the Tea Party movement. “In many ways, I identify with both groups,” Paul said. Both groups are fed up with problems in Washington and “the two-party-system,” Paul said while speaking at an insurance company in Des Moines. Praising the left-wing Occupy Wall Street movement is an unusual move for a Republican presidential candidate, but Ron Paul is, of course, an unusual Republican presidential candidate. He jumped to first place in the Iowa caucus polls partly because of support from people who aren’t Republicans. His comments that members of the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street are unhappy with the “two-party system” could fuel speculation that Paul will make a third-party bid of his own—something he has not ruled out.

Iran wants nuclear weapons because you gain respect with them:
Apparently alluding to Israel and its nuclear-weapons arsenal, Paul said that “if I were an Iranian, I’d like to have a nuclear weapon, too, because you gain respect from them.”

50 million Americans who could have voted in 2008 and again in 2011 BUT DID NOT vote... One would think that the Republican party could figure out how to get 10 million of those people motivated and voting for Republicans INSTEAD of wringing their hands and kissing ass about Mexican Illegal Aliens

jeez, you’ve give me a long list of attacks on people who support Ron not quotes about his positions.

The reality is both the Paul’s are very conservative and Christian. Rand probably more than his dad. His dad doesn’t like drug laws but Rand supports them. There are many differences. Neither support prostitution, gay marriage or the other things you’ve claimed.

Always Remember - SCOTUS ruled long ago - CHAIN MIGRATION ... each new illegal alien that is given Amnesty - citizenship gets to sponsor all of their blood relatives for citizenship ... which means at an average of 4 times 20 million illegals and Chain Migration EQUALS at last 80 million new Hispanic citizens plus what is aready here will grow in 40 years from now to 120 to 140 million of a 440 million population - thus destroying the heritage of all Americans of Ancestral lineage in the U.S.A. You young guys and gals better start teaching your children Spanish as a FIRST LANGUAGE and pressing 2 to speak English

Hey Rand, how about for once in your damned lives, you politicians start governing for the actual citizens and producers of this country. Not some foreign nationals that end up on the public dole and drive wages down for the rest of us.

Instead you ask us to preside over our own demise as a country and producing class.

Mexican immigrants are not assimilating like every group of immigrants before them. Their just importing their old country with them.

Indeed many of them hold as much loyalty to their old lands and ways as they do to ours.

http://news.newamericamedia.org/news/view_article.html?article_id=464f658f8729d570d3e77db40c3faf96

If we cannot force them to assimilate they will either transform our country in to mexico, or they will form their own country in our land.

Its far more serous than that, Latino’s are not assimilating like every other group of immigrants. They are bring their old country and old ways with them.

This is not only unfair to the rest of us who have assimilated its distrcutive to the lands in which they are settling.

They came here for economic freedom & opperunity which they are by their very act of refusal to assimilate are destroying by rendering the land the same as the one they fled.

The libertarians come out of the closet protecting him with all they have... :p

Yes they do.

And even when they can't, from a conservative perspective, argue the correctness of a Paul issue, they tell you that he means well, or you just don't understand (even though we have the Paul's exact quote to prove we do), or you really know in your heart that he is right.

Rand's problem is that he is more of a big "L" libertarian than he is a conservative.

If it involves Amnesty, in any form, we do not need it, not as Conservatives, not as Republicans, and not as Christians.
