Posted on 06/11/2014 10:06:04 PM PDT by This Just In

A day after House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) lost his primary after Dave Brat hammered him on amnesty, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) embraced "immigration reform" on a conference call with Michael Bloomberg's pro-amnesty group and Grover Norquist.

Watching Rand on Hannity now. He has gone full-on Dad crazy.

He needs to be contained from here on out.

No. Here is the policy.

Do those things and illegal aliens will deport themselves and pay for the trip.

This guy is a total nothing. The more I see of him the more it’s obvious he really has no center.

Okay, let’s compromise this way, for every traitorous son of a bitch that goes to Mexico and stays there we let one illegal immigrant stay here. Let’s see we have mr. mulato and moochelle, biden and all the rest of the demonrat’s, mcconny, mclame, Boner,paul and and the rest of the RINO’s. So what, we let a few hundred illegals stay while the traitors and the rest go back to Mexico. I can live with that.

If Rand finds common ground with Democrats on legalizing marijuana (i.e. rolling back the failed war on drugs) and reigning in the NSA (i.e. reasserting our rights under the Constitution) then I am OK with that.

On the other hand, being a text book libertarian in favor of the free flow of labor across state borders is not something to get excited about.

Rand shouldn't be so naive as to think that the Democrats support illegal immigration because they favor free market principles. He should be aware that once all of the labor moves freely across our borders they will start to collect welfare and vote more like Democrats than Libertarians.

This is another case where a partial libertarian solution is worse than no libertarianism at all.

Rand has lost all conservative credibility. As you stated, he has gone the way of his father, and we all know how that turned out.

That is what any sane rational patriotic American would do.

The Democrat and Republican party are none of those things.

Here’s a compromise for you Rand: First, we take our country back and expel the illegal alien invaders. Second, you can bugger off.

Answer to your question — the sense of shoving the American citizen onto welfare and giving his job to the foreigner — is that both welfare recipients and foreigners/ immigrants usually vote to keep the political hacks in
Power. Job security — for crooked politicians. Priority One.

Let’s compromise, in exchange for allowing big business to makes millions of Mexicans into slaves, they will end the Republican Party. Sounds far.

He responds to the world like Marie Antoinette did.

In the past tense. Apparently he gorges on Potomac fever.
He’s not the guy he promised himself and us to be.

Good riddance as the nascent TEA order will have no use for him.

‘Rand shouldn’t be so naive as to think that the Democrats support illegal immigration because they favor free market principles. He should be aware that once all of the labor moves freely across our borders they will start to collect welfare and vote more like Democrats than Libertarians’

I met Paul once before he was elected and my impression was of a guy eat up with short man’s disease. Short man’s disease comes with a lust for power. He is far from naive.

He’s not one of us. Probably never was.

Gun control and immigration reform are the knockout combination they have planned for us.

None of the rest of it matters once they put those two in place, and they know it. And we know it. And they know we know it, and they’re pushing hard.
