Is the head of the IRS going to tell us that Tax Cheats have earned the right to keep their money?

If I suggest the answer, they will put both of us in Jail or kill us.

Children; today's history lesson will be a reading from the Declaration of INDEPENDANCE...


We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
 that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
 that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--
 
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
 deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --
 
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,
 it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,
 laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,
 as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
 
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;
 and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,
 than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
 
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design
 to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,
 and to provide new Guards for their future security.--
 
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;
 and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
 
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,
 all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
 
To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world....

No, it wouldn't have been as bad, but all you smug anti-Romney people can rest on your happy attitude that ‘you knew better’.

Smugness seems misplaced.

Rand Paul's immigration speech
...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...

It’s no hope with those who would prefer Obama.

True.

However, when MORMONs try to lump folks who would not vote for the White Horse riding Romney; into the group that PREFERS Obama; it kinda makes ME wonder just what OTHER crazy ideas they might be pushing.

So by same logic then a bank robber has earned the right to be bank president.

Jeh Johnson thinks every person in the Obama Administration can make law... Why bother with elections when Jeh’s already figured out the country doesn’t need borders?

I have a FB acquaintance (ok, "friend") who's been in Occupy ...
His latest FB post was (disturbingly):

"But I'm sure that when we come to take the cash, we will be greeted as liberators."

These Leftists are very messed up, IMHO.

And you know what they say about messing with old men.

Yes, they won’t like my greeting.

Suspect they think we will all cower in the corner. Won’t happen in TX. Simply nuts to think so.

What crimes are we legal citizens supposed to commit so that we can earn favor with the government?

You get no amnesty and you'd better follow all laws and regulations our you'll get your assets seized and be thrown in prison.

Remember, criminal penalties for impersonating an illegal alien are very severe.
