What was likely to happen, according to Jefferson, was that immigrants would come to America from countries that would have given them no experience living in a free society. They would bring with them the ideas and principles of the governments they left behind — ideas and principles that were often at odds with American liberty.

1st poll ever measuring Ron Paul vs Hillary has him at 35%.
Only us political junkies even know who he is, this early in the race. That is very powerful stuff.
Rudy scores best among Republicans vs Hillary with 41%, Rudy has plenty of name recognition.

Want more? Generic democrat vs generic republican has the dems winning by 18%, the biggest spread between the two since 1975.

Ron Paul is the only candidate that can beat the hildabeast.
I am a Veteran, it is our duty to support Ron Paul.

You said - “1st poll ever measuring Ron Paul vs Hillary has him at 35%.”
I say - Isn’t that about the same number that say they will vote for anybody but Hillary???? I think you are wishfully misinterpreting the polls.

You say - “Want more?”
I say - No No a thousand times No - I’m sick of RP junk being inserted into serious discussions.

No republican candidate can beat the hildabeast, except Ron Paul or Condi, and she ain't running.
I am a veteran, it is my DUTY to support Ron Paul.
If you are a Veteran or a Patriot it is your duty as well. No more Rino's.

Your holier-than-thou attitude is annoying at best. Other veterans have different viewpoints which they have a right to express and which they believe is their DUTY also. So chill a bit.

Or the RP nuts can get real and contribute something constructive instead of RP propaganda.

Other veterans have different viewpoints which they have a right to express and which they believe is their DUTY also.

"I, do solemnly swear,that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

Not a lot of wiggle room there, Martin.
Most Vets don't know this is the first time we have a chance to vote for a good, honest man, who will defend the Constitution.
No more Rinos!
We are going to lose big in 2008 because of them.
It is every Veterans Duty to protect the Constitution. I am a Veteran, it is our duty to support Ron Paul.

I think you make a good point. The article suggests that the founders saw no reason to *encourage* immigration. But certainly, I believe, they realized that people *would* immigrate here out of a desire for freedom and opportunity.

I think that putting a nutcase like Paul in charge would NOT be wise. I would not class Paul as an enemy but I don’t think he would help us one bit either. The man is crazy. I see Paul as a millstone that will hurt us all. He will never be more than a footnote in history and is distracting many good people from worthwhile work. ON top of that he is sapping campaign funds that are needed elsewhere.
