Paul Ryan and the RINOs Are Working WITH Obama and AGAINST America...



Folks... before I address the main topic of this post - Paul Ryan's idiocy - allow me to urge you all to visit today's "Newsbites" post.

I typically post my newsbites on Facebook after midnight when they're "done," but today... there's some newsbites you should be aware of in "real time" - as they're being posted.

Anyway...


*  *  *

     
House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan is ruling out making any cuts to Muslim immigration.

* WHAT DID I TELL YOU, FOLKS? RYAN IS PRO-IMMIGRATION - PERIOD.

In an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Ryan declared that considering an applicant’s religion would not be “appropriate” and would be fundamentally un-American — insisting “that’s not who we are.”

* THAT'S INSANE. WHILE CERTAINLY BEING MUSLIM SHOULDN'T BE AN AUTOMATIC DISQUALIFICATION, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT HOW A PROPOSED "IMMIGRANT'S" POLITICAL AND YES RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY MIGHT FACTOR IN CONCERNING "FIT" INTO THE AMERICAN BODY POLITIC IS SIMPLY COMMON SENSE.

* AS ARE MANY FACTORS!

Since 9/11, the U.S. has accepted more than 2 million immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers from predominantly Muslim nations. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL). who chairs the Senate Immigration Subcommittee and whose office has put out a series of analyses in recent months detailing the enormous scope of immigration into the United States, has repeatedly called on Congress to reduce the number of green cards issued, including in an op-ed last week one day prior to the Paris attack.

“Eighty-three percent of voters want to see projected immigration growth reduced — which means Congress must take up and pass a bill to reduce the number of visas handed out each year,” Sessions wrote.

“Congress should immediately begin to move popular immigration reforms that would be backed by overwhelming majorities of voters, including...blocking the president from using federal funds to unilaterally expand the costly refugee resettlement program.”

* AND I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH SESSIONS. BUT APPARENTLY RYAN DOESN'T.

* AGAIN... FOLKS... I PREDICTED THAT RYAN WOULD BE... WHO HE IS.

(*SIGH*)

In his question, Hannity asked Ryan point blank about some of Sessions’ recent analysis.

Hannity said:

"We have resettled 1.5 million Muslim migrants in the United States. Senator Sessions had put out a piece where all these people that we took in to the country then come here and then get involved in terror activity. I put it up on my website, I urge you to take a look at it. And we take in 100,000 Muslim immigrants into the United States every year. Do we have to think about somebody who grows up under Sharia — believes that women can’t drive, can’t be seen in public without a male relative, [requires] four eyewitnesses [to prosecute] rape — do we have a clash of cultures we’ve got to consider? How do we know if they want to assimilate? How do we know if they want to bring terror into the United States? How will we ascertain that?"

* ALL LOGICAL AND REASONABLE QUESTIONS. HERE'S HOW RYAN THE TWIT REPLIES:

Ryan:

"Well, first of all, I don’t think a religious test is appropriate. That’s not who we are. We believe in the First Amendment of religious freedom. And I don’t think it’s the appropriate test because anybody can come under the guise of something else. It’s not hard for a person to claim that they are something that they’re not — like a Christian or something like that to get into the country. That is why we are calling for a security test. I think the test that matters is a security test because anybody can try and infiltrate this country by posing as something that they are not, so I don’t think that’s the proper test. I think a security test is the proper test."

* FOLKS. WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS. OUR "VETTING" - RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA - ALLOWED MAJOR HUSAN TO BECOME... "THE" MAJOR HUSAN. OUR "VETTING" ALLOWED THE TSARNAEV BROTHERS TO BECOME... "THE" TSARNAEV BROTHERS.

* FOLKS... THESE MANIACS IN WASHINGTON ARE GONNA GET AMERICANS KILLED.

Ryan’s view stands opposed to that of his Congressional colleagues Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Reps. Rep. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX), Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA), Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX), and Rep. Steve King (R-IA), who — as Breitbart News recently reported — have all expressed support for a reduction or suspension of visa issuances to Muslim countries with jihadist movements.

* THEY'RE RIGHT; RYAN'S WRONG.

* BUT, FOLKS... IT'S NOT JUST THAT RYAN IS WRONG; IT'S THAT RYAN IS COOPERATING WITH OBAMA TO BRING THESE PEOPLE INTO OUR COUNTRY WHEN WE CAN'T EVEN AFFORD TO CARE FOR OUR OWN WOUNDED VETERANS AND OTHER AMERICANS IN NEED!

* FOLKS... MUST I REMIND YOU: DEBT... DEFICITS AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE... A GOVERNMENT - REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS - WHICH CONSTANTLY SQUANDERS AND BORROWS WHILE PLACING THE DEBT ON OUR SHOULDERS... ON OUR CHILDREN'S SHOULDERS... AND EVEN ON OUR GRANDCHILDREN'S SHOULDERS?

* FOLKS... THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO "RUN" IT PRESENT A GREATER THREAT TO AMERICA THAN ANY TERRORIST ORGANIZATION OR ENEMY FOREIGN GOVERNMENT. YOU NEED TO WRAP YOUR HEAD AROUND THAT! IT'S CLEARLY A FACT!

By declaring that it would not be “proper” or “appropriate” for the United States to consider the religion of a visa applicant — or whether the applicant supports Sharia law or Muslim theocracy — Ryan is effectively suggesting that the United States should not be allowed to select whom we admit based on likelihood of assimilation.

* YEP! ONLY RYAN'S NOT "SUGGESTING" IT; HE'S SAYING IT! HE'S DECLARING IT! HE'S BRAGGING ABOUT IT... PREENING ABOUT IT!

This view is consistent with Ryan’s two decade long history of pushing open borders immigration policies.

(*NOD*)

* I WARNED YOU... AND WARNED YOU... AND WARNED YOU...

As NumbersUSA President Roy Beck has said, “Ryan has spent his entire adulthood ideologically connected to the open borders crowd. Open Borders is in his ideological DNA... Open borders seeps out of every pore of his being... It’s just who he is.”

(*NOD*)

In 2013, Ryan insisted that it is the job of a U.S. lawmaker to put oneself in the shoes of a foreign national — who does not live in the United States, but would like to come here — and then work to find solutions to improve the life of that foreign citizen.

* AND THIS IS THE MAN THAT REPUBLICANS... THAT REPUBLICANS... ALONG WITH THEIR DEMOCRATIC ALLIES... PUT INTO THE SPEAKERSHIP... PUT THIRD IN LINE TO THE PRESIDENCY.

(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)

* AGAIN... FOLKS... THEY KNEW ALL THIS. AND THEY ELEVATED RYAN TO THE SPEAKERSHIP ANYWAY.

(*PURSED LIPS*)

Indeed, Ryan was instrumental in defeating an effort to cut visa issuances during the mid-90s, thus derailing the effort to codify into law Civil Rights leader Barbara Jordan’s plan for substantial immigration cuts in order to protect the American worker.

* NEITHER RYAN NOR THE RINOs NOR THE LEFT DEMOCRATS CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN WORKER. CLEARLY THIS IS TRUE OR ELSE THE LAWS WOULDN'T BE WHAT THEY ARE! BE IT IMMIGRATION POLICY OR TRADE POLICY... BOTH PARTIES ARE IN A SENSE "ANTI-AMERICAN" PARTIES. IT'S A HELL OF A THING... BUT THERE IT IS.

As "Game Change" author John Heilemann wrote in 1996:

"Ryan’s ties to the pro-immigration mafia ran deep.”

* AND THEY STILL DO!

Hannity pressed Ryan specifically about the House’s legislation that will allow Obama to continue the Syrian refugee resettlement plan, which is opposed by a majority of all voters. Hannity asked Ryan about Babin’s amendment, which as Breitbart News reported, was 'blocked [tonight] by House Rules Chairman Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX)' – that would have placed a six-month moratorium on allowing refugees into the United States.”

Hannity asked:

"Are you including the Babin amendment, which would put a pause for six months on it, or are you not including that part [into the House’s legislation]?

Ryan replied:

"This would put a pause, I believe, for longer than that. This effectively puts a pause on the program and it will take longer than six months, I believe, to put these kind of security..."

* RYAN IS FULL OF $HIT.

* KEEP READING:

Senator Sessions specifically debunked this claim in a statement released earlier on Wednesday. Sessions explained that Ryan’s plan — far from blocking Obama’s refugee resettlement project — would allow for unlimited immigration and does nothing to strengthen the security of the American people.

Sessions:

"The current proposal being considered in the House in response to the President’s dangerous refugee plan – the American SAFE Act – fails to defend the interests of the American people... The American SAFE Act allows the President to continue to bring in as many refugees as he wants from anywhere in the world. With respect to Syria and Iraq, the American SAFE Act requires only that the President direct his Secretary of Homeland Security, Director of National Intelligence, and FBI Director (all his appointees) to sign off on the administration’s screening process – a process that the White House continually asserts is 'adequate' and ‘ensures safety.’ The plain fact is that this bill transfers the prerogative from Congress to President Obama and ensures the President’s refugee resettlement initiative will continue unabated."

* AGAIN... RYAN WILL LIE... HIS BACKERS WILL LIE... AND THIS INCLUDES LARGE CHUNKS OF THE SO-CALLED "CONSERVATIVE" MEDIA WHICH SERVES THE INTERESTS OF THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT.

* FOLKS... WHAT'S IT GONNA TAKE. IS IT REALLY GONNA TAKE A POPULAR UPRISING? ARE WE REALLY GOING TO HAVE TO STOP OUR OWN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS FROM WHAT THEY'RE DOING BY VIOLENCE?

* IF YOU THINK FOR A MOMENT THAT THE THOUGHT OF LOSING OFFICE AT THE BALLOT BOX SCARES THE HELL OUT OF THESE PEOPLE THEN YOU'RE NAÏVE. THESE PEOPLE TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER. LOSE A $174,000/YR. "SEAT" IN CONGRESS... GET A "PRIVATE SECTOR" JOB - OFTEN "NO-SHOW" - THAT PAYS DOUBLE... TRIPLE... QUADRUPLE THEIR FORMER SIX-FIGURE SALARY.

* FOLKS... WHAT'S IT GONNA TAKE TO WAKE THE SHEEPLE UP?!

NumbersUSA, a pro-security immigration group, echoed Sessions’ criticism of the Ryan’s plan:

"NumbersUSA is extremely disappointed in the legislation that the House intends to put on the floor on Thursday to respond to the threat of Islamic State-inspired terrorists infiltrating the refugee flow to the United States... Instead of legislating that pause, or even bringing to the floor an existing bill (H.R. 3314 by Rep. Babin) that would pause the refugee flow, the House instead will vote to cede its responsibility for America’s safety to the FBI, the DNI, and DHS in the hopes that they can pick and choose correctly from a limited number of “covered” aliens."

* FOLKS... IF IT WEREN'T ILLEGAL I'D CALL FOR REVOLUTION.

* FOLKS... AMERICA IS NO LONGER A FUNCTIONING DEMOCRACY - LET ALONE REPUBLIC.

In [his] interview, however, Ryan seemed determined to convey that the House’s bill would, in fact, “pause” refugee resettlement — despite the contrary analyses of Sen. Sessions and NumbersUSA.

Throughout the course of the short interview, Ryan specifically declared seven times that the House’s legislation would “pause” refugee resettlement.

* I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT RYAN... IS... LYING!

* FOLKS... IF HE WASN'T LYING... WOULDN'T OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS AND THE MSM BE GOING NUTS...?!?! (THINK ABOUT IT!)

Breitbart News has compiled Ryan’s uses of the word “pause” throughout the interview:

"President Obama just said he’s going to veto our bill putting a pause on the refugee program... We obviously know that ISIS wants to infiltrate the refugee population, that’s very clear, so we need to put a pause on this program… We have to put this bill in place which pauses the program effectively... This legislation would put a pause, I believe, for longer than the Babin measure. This effectively puts a pause on the program and it will take longer than six months, I believe, to put in place these kinds of security... The FBI cannot right now certify these standards, so this legislation does pause the program... We are asking all of our colleagues to support fixing this — pausing this — and getting this right."

Hannity continued:

"Here’s my question though... Why don’t we just cancel it? Why don’t we just say, ‘You cannot come here, it’s too big a risk to the American people’? I don’t think we can fully ascertain what’s in people’s hearts. I don’t think anybody can assure us that ISIS wouldn’t lie and create documents and the document trail, I think they would do anything to get here. Why don’t we just end the program and that might mean defunding the program. Wouldn’t that be a better idea? ... We have two polls — two polls that are out that show two-to-one the American people are against Obama bringing in Syrian refugees altogether. I would prefer — I don’t know if we can really fully vet anybody like this. Nor do we have the resources. I personally am of the belief that we shouldn’t taking them in. I think it’s too big a risk."

Ryan said, in part, that the reason the program could not simply be canceled is because:

“We’re a compassionate country. The refugees laws are important laws and we don’t want terrorists to dictate how we run — whether we have a law or not.”

* RYAN CLEARLY CARES MORE ABOUT HIS IDEA OF "COMPASSION" THAN HE DOES ABOUT THE SECURITY AND BEST INTERESTS OF AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

While throughout the interview Ryan seemed to ground his argument on the premise that we cannot apply a religious test as a basis for admissions to the United States, both Rush Limbaugh and Andrew McCarthy have explained how U.S. law does, in fact, require a religious test when it comes to making considerations about visa issuances.

McCarthy explained:

"Under federal law, the executive branch is expressly required to take religion into account in determining who is granted asylum. Under the provision governing asylum (section 1158 of Title 8, U.S. Code), an alien applying for admission must establish that ... religion [among other things] ... was or will be at least one central reason for persecuting the applicant. Moreover, to qualify for asylum in the United States, the applicant must be a “refugee” as defined by federal law. That definition (set forth in Section 1101(a)(42)(A) of Title , U.S. Code) also requires the executive branch to take account of the alien’s religion: The term “refugee” means (A) any person who is outside any country of such person’s nationality ... and who is unable or unwilling to return to ... that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of … religion [among other things] … The law requires a “religious test... it is downright dishonest to claim that taking such religious distinctions into account is “not American”...  How can something American law requires be “not American?"

Limbaugh said:

"'When I hear political leaders suggesting that there would be a religious test for which a person who’s fleeing from a war-torn country is admitted, that’s shameful. That’s not American. That’s not who we are.  We don’t have religious tests to our compassion.' I would venture to say that virtually everybody who hears him say that probably has to nod their head in agreement. 'Yeah, yeah, that’s probably right.' Except you’d all be wrong...  It’s in federal law. There are religious tests and requirements through the United States law... the law requires a religious test, and the reason for the religious test is obvious... Asylum is a discretionary national act of compassion directed by law, not a whim to address persecution... There is no right to emigrate to the United States of America... Nowhere does the law say we must put ourselves at risk in order to exercise this compassion... Therefore, us — we — by maintaining our standards as established by law, protecting our national security and sovereignty are not violating anybody’s rights by standing up for our own."

* RUSH IS OF COURSE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!

Moreover, a provision in the Immigration and Naturalization Act states, “In general – any immigrant who is or has been a member of or affiliated with the communist or other totalitarian party (or subdivision or affiliate thereof), domestic or foreign, is inadmissible.” This arguably could apply to individuals who hold theocratic or totalitarian ideologies. In fact, in recent video footage captured on the streets of Cedar Riverside, Minnesota, showed a number of U.S. Muslims explaining that they preferred Sharia Law to American law.

(*NOD*)

Regardless, every year, under Ryan’s vision the United States can expect to continue to bring in two Muslim migrants for every one Iowa Republican primary voter.

According to Pew, by 2040, the United States’ Muslim population is expected to surpass the nation’s Jewish population. It is unlikely that the Muslim migrants brought in under the nation’s current federal policy will support Ryan’s limited government platform as only 11% of U.S. Muslim, according to Pew, are Republican or lean-Republican. Ryan’s continued support for the visa gusher, however, is consistent with his past statements on the matter.

When radio talk show host David Webb asked Ryan last year whether he thought, “immigrants from the third world are more likely or less likely to support conservative policies,” Ryan answered that he thought “immigrants from the third world” were “some of the best Americans.”

Ryan declared:

"Some of the best Americans are the newest Americans. People who left former Communist countries, people who left scandalous nations that are crony capitalism that deny them their rights. So people who come from those kinds of systems and those kinds of governments can make the best patriots because they finally see and taste what freedom is like, and they want to fight for it. So that kind of a person can make the best American. And the way I look at it, from our Party’s perspective, is we have to do a better job of going into these communities and exposing people to a different mindset – to these principles that they may not even have ever heard or seen before. This is a challenge that conservatives have to answer."

* SO... RYAN IS STUPID AS WELL AS IRRESPONSIBLE. GREAT. WONDERFUL!

* THANK YOU, REPUBLICANS!
