Teabagger Hero Rand Paul is Anti-American

Yes, it is hard to say the words (not really), but Republican Senate candidate (and Tea Party hero) from Kentucky Rand Paul is "anti-American." Why can we say this? Because he wants to throw out the 14th amendment of the United States Constitution. And where did he state this opinion? On Russian television, of course. Where else would you expect a potential U.S. Senator to speak his views on the United States Constitution?



You see, the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to anyone born in the United States, regardless of whether or not their parents are U.S. citizens. There is no ambiguity about this. But here is some of what Paul says about this issue:

Paul recently suggested to a Russian TV station that the U.S. should abandon its policy of granting citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants -- even if they're born on U.S. soil.

Paul also said he's discussed instituting an "underground electrical fence" on the border to keep out unwanted elements, though he emphasized that he's "not opposed to letting people come in and work and labor in our country."

The real problem, Paul said, is that the U.S. "shouldn't provide an easy route to citizenship" because of "demographics." Link

I wonder what country Paul's ancestors immigrated from? Because unless he is of Native American descent, he is the result of immigration.

So we wait with baited breath the condemnation of Paul from the Teabaggers, who say the constitution is sacred. Isn't that why they are so adamant about having the government stay away from their guns (2nd Amendment)?

The Daily Show: 'Glenn Beck Has Nazi Tourette's'

Daily Show correspondent Lewis Black was surprised last night that Glenn Beck had criticized those who have compared Arizona's immigration law to Nazi Germany. "This is a guy," said Black, "who uses more swastika props and video of the Nuremberg rallies than The History Channel."

Wooster 912 Project & Teabaggers: Where is the Outrage?

We have pointed out numerous examples where the Teabaggers' grievances seemed to have no grounding in policy. If it did, then of the two current political parties, they would side more often with Democrats.

But the Teabaggers in general, and the Wooster 912 Project specifically, have a chance to be genuinely outraged by government intrusion. The new anti-immigration law passed in Arizona creates the closest thing we have seen to a "police state" in America. Even Teabagger favorite Mark Rubio, running for Senate as a Republican in Florida, calls the new law akin to a “police state.” Believe it or not, Seth Myers of Saturday Night Live sums up best what this new law does:

"This week, Arizona signed the toughest illegal immigration law in the country which will allow police to demand identification papers from anyone they suspect is in the country illegally. I know there’s some people in Arizona worried that Obama is acting like Hitler, but could we all agree that there’s nothing more Nazi than saying "Show me your papers?" There’s never been a World War II movie that didn’t include the line "show me your papers." It’s their catchphrase. Every time someone says "show me your papers," Hitler’s family gets a residual check. So heads up, Arizona; that’s fascism. I know, I know, it’s a dry fascism, but it’s still fascism." Seth Meyers

Think about that for a moment. Republican elected officials in Arizona created a law that genuinely has roots in fascism. This law was then signed by a Republican governor. Yet we don't hear any cries from the Teabaggers about fascism or Nazism. Why? They don't have any trouble shouting these words at President Obama? Again, there doesn't seem to be any policy basis behind the Teabagger movement.

Linda Greenhouse, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Supreme Court correspondent for the New York Times, had this to say about the law:

What would Arizona's revered libertarian icon, Barry Goldwater, say about a law that requires the police to demand proof of legal residency from any person with whom they have made "any lawful contact" and about whom they have "reasonable suspicion" that "the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States?" Wasn't the system of internal passports one of the most distasteful features of life in the Soviet Union and apartheid-era South Africa?

Just a question I haven't heard anybody ask: Shouldn't the tea party crowd be having a cow over this new immigration bill that Arizona just passed? Doesn't that sound like big government tyranny to them? Giving the police the power to demand "papers" from someone just on their own suspicion?

Any chatter from the tea party folk to this effect? I haven't seen any. Link

On the home page of the Wooster 912 Project is a Mission Statement. The first two paragraphs read as follows:

Our Mission is to have a non-partisan place of gathering for like-minded Americans who believe that this country was founded on the basis of God given rights and liberty for all citizens.

We believe that the government has grown too large and is no longer responsive to its constituents.

"Liberty for all citizens" and "government that has grown too large." That would certainly seem to fit the new law in Arizona. We should expect to see protests and letters to the editor protesting this new law from Teabaggers very shortly.

Update: American-born citizen is taken away in handcuffs by Arizona police because he didn't have enough paperwork with him. Outraged yet?
