Why do any background checks? Why exercise any disgression at all?? After all, the average US citizen is no greater risk than someone from any other country up to and including some Jihadist walking across the mexican border headed to Los Angeles with a suitcase nuke. Do you know how utterly idiotic that is?<BR/><BR/>I am not being xenophobic in saying that there are a LOT of f-d up people in this world who grew up in f-d up ways who would be a danger to society if unleashed in the US, either directly or indirectly. We may not be able to deport the f-d up people in the US but we sure as hell should know who is coming in and whether we want to take a risk on them. That should be the idea behind the naturalization process, not to just blanket accept anyone and everyone and not even know who is here.gsanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05533954512018638111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-81713512808558944852007-05-15T22:36:00.000+01:002007-05-15T22:36:00.000+01:00This anonylazy just put $500 on the table.jbwvegas...This anonylazy just put $500 on the table.<BR/>jbwvegasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-38883232639035251502007-05-13T23:28:00.000+01:002007-05-13T23:28:00.000+01:00$100 and will likely donate more.I probably send 2...$100 and will likely donate more.<BR/><BR/>I probably send 20-30 emails a week to friends/family helping educate them about Ron Paul.<BR/><BR/>The media won't give him any press, so it's up to US.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-10847876473240433272007-05-13T08:55:00.000+01:002007-05-13T08:55:00.000+01:00Donated $75.

There are no reforms in taxation, monetary policy, entitlements, foreign policy or government authority that will improve our rapidly deteriorating economy unless those reforms return government to its Constitutional limits. Please read Ron Paul's articles in the archives at safehaven.com. Also, see his interviews at YouTube. Ron Paul is a practical libertarian who is trying to get Americans to understand that unless we rid ourselves of a central bank (the Fed) and learn to live within our means, we will end up a bankrupt nation (technically we already are) and we will lose our republic and our freedoms. As far as this being a housing bubble blog, it makes no sense to talk about a housing bubble without addressing the cause of the bubble which is FED monetary policy. Of course, the only candidate addressing this issue is Congressman Paul. Please Yahoo his article,"Don't Blame the Market for Housing Bubble."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-29446987780331864822007-05-13T03:28:00.000+01:002007-05-13T03:28:00.000+01:00MIGHT win.

Not to mention the noon and mid-afternoon prayers of Muslims.<BR/><BR/>I realize that he is not requesting school prayer, but I can't help feeling that this amendment would have a negative affect on the separation of church and state.

Very libertarian, very separation of church and state, although I am disappointed he wants to even touch the constitution, which I'm against. I don't think it's needed in this case either.<BR/><BR/>________<BR/><BR/><BR/>Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to prohibit individual or group prayer in public schools or other public institutions. No person shall be required by the United States or by any State to participate in prayer . Neither the United States nor any State shall compose the words of any prayer to be said in public schools.<BR/><BR/>http://www.ontheissues.org/TX/Ron_Paul_Education.htmbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06585266242070350399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-12313970740387309232007-05-12T21:32:00.000+01:002007-05-12T21:32:00.000+01:00If we get rid of all illegal immigrants, we must b...If we get rid of all illegal immigrants, we must be prepared for much of our food to triple or quadruple in price. <BR/><BR/>Most people do not realize that our fruits and vegetables are subsidized by cheap immigrant labor.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention all the other sh*t, low-paying jobs out there.<BR/><BR/>But hey, I bet Ron Paul would get rid of subsidies altogether, resulting in Mexican corn farmers, African cotton farmers, etc. actually resulting in them being able to make a 'living wage' in their OWN countries.<BR/><BR/>Hmmm, still on the fence about Ron Paul. Don't know if he is electable because of some of his more extreme stances. He would abolish the federal Department of Education, and pass a constitutional amendment for school prayer.<BR/><BR/>Also, he has proved through his voting record that he is not 'environmentally friendly'.

There is one extremely sound candidate (Paul/Dean), and the rest are establishment weenies who love corporate money a lot more than Constitutional law, liberty, or anything else. The Repubs will sh*tcan Paul just as firmly as the Dems did Dean (even Kucinich) in 2004. Some establishment RINO like Guiliani will gain the party nomination, in order to continue the modern tradition of keeping the party wholly beholden to corporate sponsors.<BR/><BR/>P.S. If anyone actually believes the Repubs will promote fiscal responsibility vis-a-vis the housing bubble, stop deluding yourself. The modern R party is a borrow-and-spend party, like the Dems are a tax-and-spend party. Both parties will spend the United States into a Second World world nation. We're just going to follow Russia into its current socio-economic oblivion.Peahippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01249343346796502619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-57196619621375622422007-05-12T11:59:00.000+01:002007-05-12T11:59:00.000+01:00$100 donated so far.$100 donated so far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-31895132775230595292007-05-12T11:32:00.000+01:002007-05-12T11:32:00.000+01:00I'm a Giuliani man myself, but don't have anythi...I'm a Giuliani man myself, but don't have anything particular against Mr. Paul.<BR/><BR/>Great website by the way, its a daily must-read on the subprime RMBS trading desk I work on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
