Rand Paul to abolish Section 1 of 14th Amendment, ending birthright citizenship

by: MinistryOfTruth

Fri May 28, 2010 at 09:29:17 AM MST


(As Mario Solis Marich said "this guy is the gift that keeps on giving" which I would agree with if racism and bar-lowering were gifts.   - promoted by Fong)

Recently I have detailed the relationship that Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul of Kentucky and State Senator Russel Pearce of Arizona have with their Neo Nazi, white supremacist supporters.

That is why it was no surprise to me to learn today that Rand Paul told a Russian journalist that he opposes birth citizenship as protected under the 14th Amendment, or, as Russel Pearce calls it "anchor babies".


   We're the only country I know of that allows people to come in illegally have a baby and then that baby becomes a citizen. And I think that should stop also.

Yeah, that's called the Section 1 of the 14th Amendment

More below the fold.

Now isn't that odd? I point out how Rand Paul and Russell Pearce each have a history of being supported by and palling around with Nazi White Supremacists, and then only one week after Russell Pearce proposes an Arizona law to strip birthright citizenship from citizens of Arizona, Rand Paul comes up with the same idea!

Hmmmm, isn't that convenient?

Anyone recognize this? It is Section 1 of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Cause he loves America and the Constitution sooo much, Rand Paul is willing to re-write the Constitution that he loves in order to expel people who are currently US citizens under the much beloved Constitution. The same Constitution which is often ignored and re written in their Conservative daydreams when it suits the political goals of Conservatives who want to disenfranchise American citizens, or strip them of their rights, or torture them.

Yeah, freedom, and stuff.

   No one would be crazy enough to suggest that the US use expensive satellite technology and black helicopters on demand to keep out illegal immigrants. That wouldn't be fiscally conservative, would it? Hell, it would be downright crazy!

Which means it's right up Rand Paul's alley

    I recently have been talking more about satellite observation. They say you can sit in front of the store here and a satellite can read the headline on your newspaper. So I think you could also monitor your border with satellites, and then you just have to have some means of intercepting people who come in illegally. You could have helicopters stations positioned every couple of hundred miles. . .

Rand Paul

   Watch the full interview here . . .

So, Rand Paul has is supported by Nazis and White Supremacists, just like Russell Pearce, and then Rand Paul proposes a policy idea that is EXACTLY like the one Russell Pearce came up with, and they are both inherently race based and Unconstitutional.

  We CAN NOT let this loon into the Senate!

  If you can, give a bit to Jack Conway, Rand Paul's Democratic Opponent for the Senate. If you love the 14th Amendment and the Constitution the way it is you should fight like hell to elect Jack Conway and keep Rand Paul out of the Senate.

Tips for the 14th Amendment and the Constitution
if Conservatives love it as much as they say they do why do they keep trying to get rid of the parts they don't like?

Because they aren't patriots at all. Many of them are Hatriots


He is just horrendous
He'll call himself a Constitutionalist until it inconveniences him. I am SO FUCKING HAPPY he admitted that the real reason Republicans don't like the people immigrating here is because they register Democrat.

Defining the debate
The right wing is so good at it. They create a term like "anchor baby" and suddenly a hoard of their minions believes that a baby allows an illegal immigrant to stay in the United States.

There is no such thing as an Anchor Baby. There never has been. When the 14th amendment was passed, it was passed to clarify the legal citizenship status of slaves BORN in the U.S. who were not citizens and would have been forever trapped in a legal purgatory.

A child born in the U.S. is a United States citizen and has a right to be here by birth but the parents do not.

This is just one more way the right wing avoids have a serious conversation about comprehensive immigration reform. Let's talk about anchor babies as if Mexicans are out their birthing babies to protect them from ICE.


Be Careful What You Wish For
"A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Kentucky, taken Wednesday night [May 19], shows Paul earning 59% of the vote, while [Democratic candidate] Conway picks up 34% support. Four percent (4%) percent prefer some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided."

The KY-Senate race may hurt Republicans elsewhere, but Rand Paul seems likely to prevail in Kentucky, despite, or because of, his views so out of step with the nation's mainstream.


A Survey USA Poll of May 28 also shows him in the lead
"In an election for United States Senator from Kentucky as of May 28, 2010, Republican Rand Paul edges Democrat Jack Conway, 51% to 45%, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for the Louisville Courier-Journal and WHAS-TV."

Fortunately a week has narrowed the gap.

Unfortunately, Paul still leads among college graduates and the affluent, both of whom are more likely to actually vote.  The percentage of Democrats who are willing to cross party lines to vote for Paul is 29%.  But, only 16% of Republicans want to cross prty lines to vote for Conway.

Kentucky Democrats are a different species than Colorado Democrats.
