Our country is not in a good place under this administration we've lost jobs, household income, taxes are outrageous, our Americans are suffering from high inflation rates, groceries extremely high, medical insurance are expensive Americans are having trouble making ends meet for our families it's not anything us Americans should be worried about feeding our children and having safe places to go with all the illness coming across the southern boarder which should be closed by this administration instead it's open to everyone who comes into the United States of America illegally we have a boarder for the purpose of letting people know there's a reason for the boarder patrol to be in place to protect the Americans from the illegal invasion of other countries it's illegal for people to be let go without the proper paperwork to enter into the United States of America.these people are not coming to America for asylum they are coming into this country for what they have been promised

Commented On Ilhan Omar Asks If She Can Quickly Add One More Kind Of Marriage To 'Respect For Marriage Act'
I have a problem with Omar. I have a problem with any of the three Cortezs. Of all three of them, however, my biggest complaint is Omar.
I don't believe anyone in America should hold an office just because they're a citizen. They should all be born native American citizens, not because you came over and became a citizen. That's how she got into office and see what trouble we're in. I don't like anybody holding an office in America that hasn't been born here. Just my opinion. |

I'll try to put together an Equal Protection overview. Meanwhile, this paper (papers.ssrn.com) serves as a good primer on some of the other arguments likely to be made by anti-deportation activists (e.g., preemption of local action by federal regulation).

Unfortunately, some of the proposed measures--at least as they are described by the ACLU article--might trigger Equal Protection Clause difficulties. For example, the Supreme Court has overturned laws that impact the "innocent children" of illegals. Check out Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982).

Commented On Paul Tine Leaves Democrat Party
This move was a surprise to me as Tine's opponent in 2012 and 2014. I am very interested in this change because if Tine had run as a Unaffiliated (as he claims is more closely aligned with his beliefs) I would be the District's current House Representative. And the NC Republican House Caucus would have had an actual Republican in it's ranks rather than making room for a liberal Unaffiliated who will just muddy the waters.
My supporters and I worked hard and lost against a super well-funded Democrat and voters cast ballots for someone who wasn't really what he said he was. Politics aren't fair. It's hard to make this look like anything but an opportunity for Tine to use donors and use the political system to gain power for himself. Hopefully, this will somehow bode well for District 6 in the end. Although Tine didn't beat the Democrat drum as much as I've heard other politicians during the campaigns, I found his ideas leaned far left: the answers to our problems are more government involvement. Politically, he made a smart move as someone who wants to be a mover and shaker, which he clearly does. Getting into the Republican Caucus won't hurt him though I fail to see how it helps the Republicans who don't need his vote and will find he doesn't help bolster conservative ideas of less government involvement in our daily lives. Look at this voting record in the past. Civitas gave him an "F" rating for good reason. In making this announcement Tine claimed he wasn't free to vote as he chose as a Democrat. That's quite a condemning statement on Democrats. Maybe his most significant contribution to his home District might have been to remain a Democrat so he could reform it from the inside allowing politicians to vote their conscience rather than follow lock-step in line with the party. He voted against keeping Sharia Law out of NC courtrooms. His position on Common Core has him aligned with the NC Department of Instruction rather than with parents. He can’t run from the $2000 he gave from his personal resources to elect 0bama. I imagine the NC and outside NC Dems that gave him thousands and thousands of dollars to beat me twice are not happy right now. Bottom line: I'm glad he did it and am not disappointed he didn't switch to Republican because he kept some credibility. It will be interesting to see what legislation he sponsors and who the "Dare Care" Dems will find to run against him in 2016. Becoming unaffiliated makes him more beatable by a hard-hitting Republican candidate regardless of which race he tackles next. Keep on eye on his voting record. Talk is cheap. Action is what matters. |

Commented On Focus on the Senate, Plan for Raleigh!
Let's get a Republican to run in November as a write-in for Attorney General against Cooper - how about a huge grassroots campaign for a powerful GOP lawyer nominee patriot who loves freedom - someone like the incomparable Justice Rusty Duke.

Again one of my opponents has chosen to whine about "he said/she said...," "she did it first..." and other such trivial matters. I will not respond point by point to such childishness.
There are too many more important issues to be talking about in this campaign, such as how to turn the economy around in our state, how the state can prevent further damage to our nation by Barack Obama and especially how House District 6 can help complete the job begun by the Republican majority in the last session of the Legislature. Mr. Adams' continuing insistence on going off on tangents serves no useful purpose, either in finding solutions to the real problems facing our district or in helping voters determine who will best deal with those issues. I regret that I initially fell for Mr. Adam's attempts to call attention to himself by such tactics as using quotes out of context and parsing words. I won’t participate in such childishness. If Mr. Adam's wants to dwell on trivial matters he is certainly free to do so. I'm going to focus on the important issues in this campaign. Barack Obama and his arrogant czars and bureaucrats are ruining this country, from an insidious attempt to subjugate American sovereignty to the United Nations, all the way down to diving rules on our beaches, without our state officials standing up to him. That must stop. The Republican Legislature passed SB 2 to prevent the implementation of ObamaCare in this state. A Democrat governor vetoed it. We must elect a Republican governor and enough conservative Republicans to override any veto if need be. And the way we do that is to focus on the issues that are important not to politicians, but to the people of Eastern North Carolina. Our people do not care who decided first to run in this election or what conversations were held between potential candidates. Nonsense! That kind of nonsense is exactly why so many people are disgusted with politicians and government today. Let’s find ways to get the People's job done. I call upon Mr. Adams and all candidates to join me in focusing on what we need to do to turn this state around and restore constitutional government in North Carolina and in Washington, D.C. In November let’s send Mr. Obama into retirement. |
