• Pot and Amnesty: Rand Paul’s Surprising New Agenda For the GOP

  November 13, 2012 at 6:55pm

  Don’t ever make the mistake of thinking that hispanics main problem with the GOP and the right in general is immigration. I was born in Venezuela and lived 20 years of my life over there before moving here. It is true that The majority of the hispanic population in our countries is socially conservative, but it is also very liberal on economic issues. It is a culture that celebrates government intervention and dependency, and that is why they vote democrat.

  Even a great number of people that fiercely oppose Chavez agree with Obama’s and the Democrat party’s policies, something I find very telling. The hispanic culture does not encourage personal responsibility or free markets.

  I am here on a student visa and the fact that illegals can pay less than I do seems to me as rewarding illegal behavior while punishing those of us who actually followed the rules. I do not expect amnesty or an easy way to become a resident of this country, and I do hope that conservatives in the US stick to the values that made this country the greatest place to live.

  @The-Monk…good point. At the current murder rate it doesn’t look impossible.

  @700. Those would fit perfectly in the Chavez supporter mold. Give me and let someone else pay for it.

  Bad year? more like bad decade…I am really grateful that I had the opportunity to leave the place and come to a here where freedom and opportunity are part of the core values of the country. Now I guess I’ll wait for a Romney win in november to balance the disappointment of today’s result.

  Live free or die!

• Chavez and Obama’s ‘Socialized Messages’ Are ‘Almost The Same Thing’ Says Venezuelan Political Refugee

  I can’t speak for him, but being in a similar situation I moved here 2 years ago. Even though Obama has A LOT of similarities with Chavez, there is the belief on my mind that the American people will not allow him to actually destroy the country as he would probably like to do. This country was founded on very important values and ideals of freedom and individualism, Venezuela on the other hand has been ruled by so called leftists for at least 54 years. This coupled with Chavez’ constant use of class warfare has allowed him to stay in power for this long, along with having control of Every government institution.

  So, I agree that the message and actions are very similar ( Chavez is still blaming past governments after being in power for 14years, sounds familiar?) but I also happen to believe and hope that the American people will put a stop to that this november and go back to those things that made this country the greatest place to live.
