Just over a year ago, smug Democrats, fresh from their theft of the 2008 election, proclaimed the death of the Godly Republican Party. Yet when Independents and the other naive dupes lured into the Demoncratic party's thrall finally woke up and heard on Fox News that America had become a socialist Nazi Death Camp ruled by King Obama, the American People™ soundly rejected King Obama's job-killing socialistic message of death!!!

Now the GOP has got it's groove back.... and is marching on the offensive!! The latest plank in the GOP's springboard to victory is the repeal of the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to just anyone who happens to be born in the United States.

Republicans want review of birthright citizenship

WASHINGTON – Leading Republicans are joining a push to reconsider the constitutional amendment that grants automatic citizenship to people born in the United States.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Tuesday he supports holding hearings on the 14th Amendment right, although he emphasized that Washington's immigration focus should remain on border security.

His comments came as other Republicans in recent days have questioned or challenged birthright citizenship, embracing a cause that had largely been confined to the far right.

The senators include Arizona's John McCain, the party's 2008 presidential nominee; Arizona's Jon Kyl, the Republicans' second-ranking senator; Alabama's Jeff Sessions, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a leading negotiator on immigration legislation.

"I'm not sure exactly what the drafters of the (14th) amendment had in mind, but I doubt it was that somebody could fly in from Brazil and have a child and fly back home with that child, and that child is forever an American citizen," Sessions said.

Legal experts say repealing the citizenship right can be done only through constitutional amendment, which would require approval by two-thirds majorities in both chambers of Congress and by three-fourths of the states. Legislation to amend the right, introduced previously in the House, has stalled.

The proposals are sure to appeal to conservative voters as immigration so far is playing a central role in November's elections. They also could carry risks by alienating Hispanic voters and alarming moderates who could view constitutional challenges as extreme. Hispanics have become the largest minority group in the United States, and many are highly driven by the illegal immigrant debate.

McConnell and McCain seemed to recognize the risk by offering guarded statements Tuesday.

McCain, who faces a challenge from the right in his re-election bid, said he supports reviewing citizenship rights. He emphasized, however, that amending the Constitution is a serious matter.

"I believe that the Constitution is a strong, complete and carefully crafted document that has successfully governed our nation for centuries and any proposal to amend the Constitution should receive extensive and thoughtful consideration," he said.

At a news conference, McConnell refused to endorse Graham's suggestion that citizenship rights be repealed for children of illegal immigrants. While refusing to take questions, he suggested instead that he would look narrowly into reports of businesses that help immigrants arrange to have babies in the United States in order to win their children U.S. citizenship.

The 14th Amendment, adopted in 1868 in the aftermath of the Civil War, granted citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States," including recently freed slaves.

GLORY!!!!

It's about time the Republican party corrected the mistakes they made in the 1860s. And isn't it about time that we replace Lincoln's head on Mt. Rushmore with Mr. Bush?

REPEAL THE 14TH!

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

Your concerns are shared by many of the right thinking silent majority. The idea of Brazilians flying here might be a little far fetched - don't they all live in slums or up the jungle? Where would they get the money and how would they know how to get to America if they can't read and write? But Mexican women are flocking over here with bloated wombs and it will be but a matter of time before some olive-skinned, drug-pushing, retard is voted President on more proof of citizenship than Obama.

The trouble with the constitution is that people see it as a one-way street. Gerrymandering, lies and false promises often led to an amendment being passed and yet ALL amendments should be revisited each year. Obviously, some will always go through on the nod, e.g. the Second Amendment*, but the rest should be open for review on a simple majority.







*but how many people realize that this is based upon The English Bill of Rights 1689? An Act which recognize the rights of Protestants to have arms, and asserted a protection of this right against the King. Why would Catholics, Atheists and Muslims require arms in the USA? Baptists, as the One True Religion, would, naturally, be accepted in the US as the final, faithful defenders of citizens' rights.

The 14th Amendment isn't just about granting anchor babies the special privileges of citizenship, although that would be bad enough. It goes on to persecute the majority and curtail democracy and states' rights by granting all sorts of special rights to people who aren't like us:

We need to repeal the entire 14th Amendment, and we need to do it now.

[Bobby-Joe]

That's probably the most disgusting amendment to the Constitution next to the 13th (violation of property right), 15th (encourages racism), 16th (enable tax and spend), 17th (violates State's right), 22nd (blatant attack on Ronald Regan by Democrats), 24th (more racism)

Instead, what gets pass over? The REAL 13th Amendment, which would strip citizenship of any American with a title of nobility or honor from a foreign government. That would get rid of all those secularist scum with this Nobel prizes.

The 14th needs to go NOW!

[Brother Temperance]

It's time to stop allowing these foreigners to claim that just because they're born in America that somehow makes them American. I can't wait for the look on Barack HUSSEIN Obama's face when he realises that he's no longer a citizen and so no longer eligible to hold office.

[H. Montague Worthington]

We can only hope that a properly-written replacement for the old 14th Amendment would include a revocation of the citizenship of Albert Einstein, Edward Teller, Niels Bohr, Enrico Fermi, Billy Wilder, Georg Solti, Otto Stern, Victor Weisskopf, Hans Bethe, and Lise Meitner, and all the other joos and joo-friendly illegals that used World War II as an excuse to sneak into America.

Disgusting.

The Klan are, today, a simple welfare organization that also tends towards spiritual care and fellowshiping.

And never forget, 1st Peter 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
1st Peter 2:14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
1st Peter 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

The movement is to legally amend the 14th...

However, I would never stop anyone taking exercise in the fresh air be it on horseback or by an open fire.

You hang your laundry on a cross? Perhaps you should let your wife do the laundry, she'd know better.

[MasterOfReality1971]

Oh yeah. Thanks for clearing things up a bit for me there

Are you comparing us with the Klan? That's not nice.

We don't believe in lynching people of other races. We believe in stoning those who violate Bible Law. The only hangings mentioned in the Bible were devised by a gentile king -- Book of Esther -- and Judas -- obvious no-no.


Please refrain from offering us your "support". We've got Jesus; that's all we need.

I apologize for offending you, it's just that those were the sort of vibes I was getting from the thread when I read the initial posts.
