[Township News] ANOTHER VIEW OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT | Township News: The most serious challenge to birthright citizenship for the children of aliens came in 1898, and it involved a class of aliens who were every bit as unpopular as present-day illegal immigrants: the Chinese.

[The Washington Independent] Gohmert Continues to Push 'Terror Babies' Debate on 14th Amendment ...: They're pandering to this reason-challenged bunch just like they did to fundamentalist Christians in the past. Enough of the fundies have realized that they'd been whores for a few empty promises and are now staying home, so the GOP is whipping up those who are scared of the black or brown people.

[Crooks and Liars] Boehner Thinks Repealing The Fourteenth Amendment Is "Worth ...: The Republicans desire to rewrite the Constitution in their own Rosemary's Baby image is sigificantly more scary than another Murrow Building or Twin Towers attack for obvious reasons. As a nation we can recover for the first two assaults, I am not sure the nation could survive a Republican's successful assault on the Consitution.

[Obama Increases Taxes] Dnc Abortion | Obama Increases Taxes: Beyond the pro-life, pro-gun and anti-tax views that you’d expect to find, the American Party also advocates an end to farm price supports/subsidies, privatization of the US Postal Service, opposes federal involvement in education, supports abolition of the Environmental Protection Agency, supports repeal of NAFTA, opposes minimum wage laws, opposes land use zoning regulations and opposes convening a Constitutional convention. Of course, the AP also opposes the United Nations, the New World Order, communism, socialism and the Trilateral Commission.
