Republican and Conservative political analysis and commentary

Q:Are you in favor of undermining a fundamental part of the U.S. Constitution by changing it so that people born here are no longer guaranteed citizenship?

A: Yes. I agree because I also agree with Ron Paul that the court has misinterpreted it, and therefore it needs to be clarified. By jurisdiction, I think it is clear the founders did not intend to grant citizenship to anybody willy-nilly who was able to get onto U.S. soil for a few minutes. Birthright citizenship should only apply if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen.

Q: Do you think that the Civil Rights Act should not have been passed?

A: Of course not. I don't understand how any self-proclaimed 'conservative' would support it. Actually, considering modern-day conservatism, I can.

I refer you to Barry Goldwater, Where I Stand (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1964).

Q: Do you think that the Civil War should not have been fought?

A: The Union was a voluntary pact between the states. The founders devised the government in such a fashion that states would retain their sovereignty and the only purpose of the federal government, a very small one at that, was to deal with foreign relations and interstate matters. The founders made it clear in their writings that states had a right to secede from the union if they felt their sovereignty as individual states was threatened or the original intent of the Constitution was undermined. Lincoln was a murderous tyrant who was in favor of a Constitutional Amendment recognizing slavery as a permanent right; to suggest he went to war to free the slaves is preposterous and an intentional distortion of history to cast a totalitarian President in good light. Paul is right in saying Lincoln's intent for going to war was to change the original intent of the Constitution and the founding of our nation into the centralized, statist government we have today.

I refer you to Thomas DiLorenzo's 'The Real Lincoln'

Abraham Lincoln quotes:

"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races - that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And in as much as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."

"We have decided that the negro must not be a slave within our limits, but we have also decided that the negro shall not be a citizen within our limits; that he shall not vote, hold office, or exercise any political rights."

"...I will to the very last stand by the law of this State, which forbids the marrying of white people with negroes."

""There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil." -Robert E. Lee

"My paramount objective in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy slavery."
-Abraham Lincoln
