Ron Paul See other Ron Paul Articles Title: Stand With Rand—Or Fall With Paul? His Awful, Stupid, Hispandering Speech Shows He’s Really Part Of Conservatism Inc.’s Cheap Labor Racket During her tremendous [1] CPAC address, Ann Coulter [2] called out fake anti-Establishment Republicans who refused to stand against mass immigration. She said: There is no better example of this “fake anti-Establishment Republican” than Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, [8] the hero [9] of the Tea Party movement, the “Liberty Movement [10]” (not the same thing), and winner of this year’s CPAC straw poll. [11] Paul recently cemented [12] his putative anti-Establishment credentials by filibustering [10] Obama CIA [13] nominee John Brennan—to the indignation of John McCain who blustered that Paul was a “wacko bird.” [14] Paul has been blundering around on the immigration issue since the 2012 election. At one point, he appeared to couple Amnesty with a moratorium on future legal immigration [15], and at another he cited Milton Friedman [16] on the incompatibility of mass immigration and the welfare state [17]. But he’s also repeatedly endorsed the so-called Path To Citizenship, since at least last November [18]. After an earlier Paul “plan,” VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow [19] noted that Paul was apparently confusing citizenship with legal residence (the “Green Card”) and commented [20]: My impression of Rand Paul is that he literally hasn't thought about the immigration issue (not unusual for cloistered libertarians) and doesn't really understand it. So Paul’s speech today (March 19) before the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce [21] is not quite the bombshell breakthrough that is being played up in the Main Stream Media [MSM] as part of its Shock-and-Awe Amnesty marketing campaign. Paul did officially came out in favor of total Amnesty (again) and increasing legal immigration (again); and against E-Verify [22]. But, typically, within hours he was backpedaling [Rand Paul: I didn’t back faster path to citizenship [23], by Aaron Blake and Rosalind S. Helderman, Washington Post, March 19, 2013]. And, evidence of his continuing chaos, while Paul was assuring the Hispanic Chamber that “if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you,” his Senate website still carried [24] his campaign claims that he opposed Amnesty and viewed illegal immigration as “a clear threat to national security.” Nevertheless, Paul’s speech was not merely awful, but stupid. Despite setting himself up as the great enemy of Obama/McCain bipartisan [25] establishment, Paul parroted every cliché voiced by Obama/McCain on immigration—and then became even worse. Paul even filled his speech with bits of Spanish (which he left untranslated [26], saying “Republicans who criticize the use of two languages make a great mistake”—although creeping institutional bilingualism [27] is a direct threat [28] to his overwhelmingly monolingual Kentucky constituents [29]). And, of course, ridiculous fawning anecdotes about hard-working Hispanics (“Growing up in Texas I never met a Latino who wasn’t working [30].”) He even quoted poet Pablo Neruda [31] in Spanish, presumably not realizing he was a Communist, and went on at lachrymose length about the pedagogical achievements of Jaime (Stand And Deliver [32]) Escalante, presumably not realizing that these have been questioned [33]—or that Escalante, homesick, eventually went home [34] to Bolivia. Let’s review a few clichés: On Deportations "De Facto Amnesty" On Hispanic Values: On Seeking the Middle Ground: You get the idea. And in some ways Paul is actually worse than McCain and Obama. [48] Both of them at least give lip-service to mandatory E-Verify or some sort of mandatory employment verification. But Paul rejects E-Verify [49]—and even hints that he opposes all employer sanctions: “My plan will not impose a national ID card or mandatory E-Verify, forcing businesses to become policemen.” Oh yeah? So why isn’t he campaigning against federal income tax withholding? [50] I also cannot help but notice the timing of Paul’s speech. Yesterday, the Republican National Committee endorsed amnesty [51] as part of its $10 million minority outreach/ raise more money from Big Business program. Having one of the most trusted Tea Party Senators on board helps boost the RNC’s much-questioned (and questionable) [51] credentials. This would not be the first time that Rand Paul surreptitiously worked with the GOP Establishment. After his famous filibuster, Paul claimed it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. As CNN reported at the time: "We had no plan and I had the wrong shoes on, my feet were hurting the whole day," Paul told CNN Chief Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash, adding that since the Senate leadership typically decides who speaks on the Senate floor, it's often difficult to begin a traditional filibuster. "One of the reasons filibusters don't occur is because they carefully guard the floor from letting it happen. And it was left unguarded," he said. [Rand Paul on filibuster: 'We had no plan' [52], CNN, March 7, 2013] But it seems that Paul was lying: [Inside the Rand Paul Filibuster [53], By Shane Goldmacher and Beth Reinhard, National Journal, March 7, 2013. My emphasis] And Paul’s supposedly anti-Establishment stand against Brennan was supported by the RNC, with Chairman Reince Priebus tweeting [54] Let me make it clear: I am not saying that Rand Paul and John McCain are two peas in the pod. There are, of course, disagreements between them, some serious—about foreign policy, civil liberties, gay marriage etc. etc. But when it comes to immigration [58]—the premier [59] and existential nation-breaking issue [60] of our time—the entire Conservatism Inc. Establishment, from the neocon warmongers like McCain and Graham to the “Liberty Movement” alleged Tea Partiers like Rand Paul, are whores in the same Cheap Labor brothel [61] America, if it is to survive, must defeat them all.

You wonder how they can babble this kind of stuff, but it all becomes clear when you run it through the Globalist Translator. It chews up text like this and renders it into plain English: "These folks are much more tractable than naygurs, and will do just about anything for a paycheck. When the time comes, millions of them can reliably be put into uniform and they will do what they are told."
