Rand Paul Now Endorses Amnesty for Illegals

In another case of the chicken littles, of the Republican Party panicking, Rand Paul of Texas is now supporting  a path to citizenship for illegal aliens.  Rep. Rand Paul follows in the footsteps of Senator Marco Rubio who also now supports amnesty for illegals.  Rand Paul stated in his speech yesterday, "If you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you."  There was no word in Rep. Paul's speech about finding work for the estimated 20-23 million unemployed American citizens.  Apparently, there is no place for the American people who are desperately seeking work.  Now, providing "work" and a "place" for illegals is of utmost importance to both Republicans and Democrats.  You don't hear talk about jobs for the chronically unemployed of America any longer.  Some might say it is due to our "recovering economy" that is about to see its third summer victory tour by President Obama at some point.  I wish Senator Rubio, Rep. Paul and Governor Jindal would go on this "victory tour" with President Obama this summer.  I  hope they would look into the faces of the millions of unemployed AMERICANS who have given up hope in their desire for "work" and a "place" in society.  Somehow, I doubt they will even care.

I must say I am supremely disappointed in U.S. Rep. Rand Paul.  I agree with him a lot more on issues than not.  But, like Ann Coulter, I am now a single issue voter for the next four years at least.  We already have immigration laws on the books that the federal government has largely ignored for at least two decades.  Now, we are supposed to believe the career politicians when they say this time we will take border enforcement seriously and this will be the "last amnesty?"  I don't believe them, I don't trust them.  Therefore, I am totally against any form of amnesty for illegal aliens.  I am greatly disappointed in the GOP.  They were the last hope to stop amnesty.  It now appears, strictly for their own political expediency, they are deserting their base on this issue.  Democrats have never cared for the rule of law.  I had thought the GOP was different.  I was wrong.  I am finished with them as well as Rand Paul whom I was strongly considering supporting for the Republican nomination for President. Not any longer.

Democratic Overreach on the Second Amendment

It appears the Colorado Legislature is going to punish the legal American gun owners with tough new restrictions of their Second Amendment rights.  Lawmakers in Colorado are about to expand background checks (which is similar to a gun registry....illegal to do), limit ammunition magazines to 15 rounds (which is a way to eliminate the AR-15)  to name just a couple of the amendments that will pass through the Democratic controlled House, Senate and Governor's office.  Hundreds of pro-Second Amendment supporters were surrounding the State Capitol building voicing their displeasure.  They were totally ignored.  Retired astronaut and Navy captain Mark Kelly told lawmakers that he and his wife, Gabby Giffords, support the Second Amendment, but he said the right to bear arms shouldn't extend to criminals and the mentally ill. Gabby Giffords, former Colorado U.S. Representative, was shot in the head by a deranged gunman a few years ago. 

It always gets to me that these people say they support the Second Amendment but.....always that "but" in there.  Democrats and gun control supporters say they want to limit access of certain types of guns to criminals and the mentally ill.   But, they are living in a make believe world if they think background checks and limits on magazines will stop gun violence.  Even gun confiscation will not stop these people from getting their hands on guns.  If you start to confiscate guns, then you will have a second American Revolution on your hands.  Not even president Obama and the Democrats want that....well, at least I think they don't want that.  I could be wrong.  As usual, Democrats are over reacting and overreaching on an issue.  Like the massive spending that led to the 2010 "Democratic shellacking,"  this gun control issue will come back and bite Democrats in the ass in the mid-terms in 2014.  Apparently, Democrats never learn.
