Rand Paul couldn’t take over a bubble pipe.
Putin’s dreams are now reality
What I believe is the U.S. Government winks and nods as they welcome in tens of hundreds of thousands of Muslims and they continue to do so.
This after we were directly threatened by Muslim countries prior to 911, as government stood gawking while they learned to fly our own jet airliners, on our own soil, and then government acted stunned and shocked as they flew them into our own buildings, killing thousands.
In fact, after 911, Bush allowed in more Muslims, than were allowed in the previous two decades.. All while they left our borders turn into a lawless violent free for all. During war time.
National suicide?
Conspiracy?
You decide?
I would never vote for Paul for many reasons
What will amnesty do to the financial side? Bankrupt us
Putin has the oil money and not $17.2 in Debt.
Besides he is GAINING land in NEIGHBORING country.
Do like Singapore...
Population 3.5 million.
More jobs than people.
Why?
No food stamps, no unemployment checks, low corporate taxes.
Unemployment? Hovers at 1%, mostly people switching jobs.
Gov’t spends money on Infrastructure instead. Their airport and highways make USA look like a 3rd world country.
Singapore Immigration policy?
@ million+ FOREIGN workers on 2 year permits.
Typo correction:
2+ million FOREIGN workers on 2 year permits.
see post #27 & #28
How about you first do away with welfare, food stamps, social programs, etc, THEN we will look into your libertarian open borders.
As the army used to say, when a libertarian says something like you just did.
“Put open borders in one hand, and ending welfare and social programs in the other hand, and see which one fills quicker.”
How can a writer be stupid enough to write an article this long and not stumble over the name Lew Rockwell ? Both Rand and his dad are sock puppets for Rockwell who started blaming US for 9/11 by noon that very day. Rand like Reagan foreign policy? Ron quit the House because Reagan put Pershing missiles in Europe, Ron saw this as aggression.
“Paul has approached American politics from the diametric pole.”
Paul approached American politics from a 2016 view. His arrogance in lecturing conservatives and his views on issues are not something I will vote for. Don’t run, Paul. You have entitlement issues and your views do not resonate well.
The Left is in his corner, pushing his candidacy. No less than Tingles said that the race will be between Hillary and Rand Paul. First it was MSNBC, now this.
They WANT him because they know he can’t win.
This article is written by a far leftist Zero supporter. It don’t read their garbage.
The article isn’t all that clear, but if being an “isolationist” today means staying clear of Syria and stating the obvious about the rest of the Middle East - that we had NO BUSINESS in toppling regimes and we’ve managed to take an area where we had dictators that we could live with, and replace them with horrendous who-knows-what, except that they hate America and kill Christians for sport. And if being an “isolationist” means thinking that it’s a bad idea to go toe-to-toe with either Russia or China, after decimating our military, then call me an “isolationist”.
Not sure about the other stuff though.

Rock and hard place. Both sides of the argument have merit, but nobody really wants more war, especially a world war. On the bright side, Rand has indicated that he still endorses a strong military and has spoken out against the neutering of our war-fighting abilities.
My point is perspectives like these have little or no merit here
They are just pinatas for Freepers to play badmitten with
...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
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.
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...

...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.[Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins]
