As a [[Republican Party|Republican]], he has represented Texas's 14th congressional district in the [[United States House of Representatives|U.S. House of Representatives]] since 1997, and had previously served as the representative from Texas's 22nd district in 1976 and from 1979 to 1985. He retired from Congress at the end of 2012.<br /> <br /> In 2009 he has attracted over 300 votes for his bipartisan proposal to subject the [[Federal Reserve]] to unprecedented scrutiny by allowing the Government Accountability Office to audit all central bank operations, including its decisions on interest rates, lending to individual banks and transactions with foreign central banks. He has a separate bill to abolish the Fed altogether. (He is the lone sponsor.) <br /> <br /> Ron Paul is an outspoken critic of [[neoconservatives]] and their interventionist foreign policy.<br /> <br /> In Congress he has proposed doing away with personal income taxes, federal antitrust laws and the minimum wage. He advocated pulling the United States out of the United Nations, NATO and the International Monetary Fund.<br /> <br /> Ron Paul advocates letting states decide how to handle social issues. He supports anti-federalism and therefore wants to leave the issues of same-sex marriage, abortion, and other social issues up to the decision of individual states. Dr. Paul has consistently espoused the pro-life position.<br /> <br /> Paul will make his acting debut in the third installment of the ''[[Atlas Shrugged]]'' film series titled &quot;Who is John Galt?&quot;<br /> ==Paleolibertarian==<br /> Paul is a [[pro-life]] states' rights [[libertarian]], also known as a [[paleolibertarianism|paleolibertarian]]. [[paleolibertarianism|Paleolibertarians]] advocate a limited role of government as well as supporting low taxes, free markets, strict construction of the [[U.S. Constitution]], and a return to monetary policies based on commodity-backed currency. He has earned the nickname &quot;Dr. No&quot; for voting against any bill he believes violates the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Paul is the &quot;one exception to the Gang of 535&quot; on Capitol Hill. He has never voted to raise taxes or congressional pay. He has always voted against the [[USA PATRIOT Act]], the [[Military Commissions Act of 2006]], and the [[Iraq War]].<br /> <br /> ==Congressional record==<br /> Ron Paul is noted for his authorship of the We the People Act, an act which removed the ability of the US Supreme Court to hear cases involving discrimination based on sexual orientation or religion. He is also noted for submitting several bills banning [[abortion]], and somewhat controversially was the only person to oppose the Darfur Divestment Act of 2007, a bill which disallowed the US government, corporations, and individuals from sending money to or doing business with the janjaweed rebel group of the Sudan.<br /> <br /> == Early life and education ==<br /> <br /> Dr. Ron Paul was born in [[Pittsburgh]], Pennsylvania to Howard Caspar Paul and Margaret Paul.&lt;ref&gt;http://dailypaul.com/node/53&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;http://www.wargs.com/political/paul.html&lt;/ref&gt; He graduated from Dormont High School in Dormont, Pennsylvania, in 1953. Paul attended Gettysburg College, receiving his [[Bachelor of Arts]] degree in 1957, and the [[Duke University School of Medicine]], receiving [[Doctor of Medicine|M.D.]] in 1961. He did his [[internship]] and [[Residency (medicine)|residency]] at [[Henry Ford Hospital]] in [[Detroit]], Michigan, from 1961 to 1962, and was a [[flight surgeon]] in the [[United States Air Force]] from 1963 to 1968. He and his wife Carol moved to Texas in 1968, where he began his medical practice in Brazoria County. As a specialist in [[obstetrics]]/[[gynecology]], Dr. Paul has delivered more than 4,000 babies. He and Carol, who reside in Lake Jackson, Texas, are the proud parents of five children and have seventeen grandchildren.<br /> <br /> Paul is a Baptist.<br /> <br /> ==Political affiliations and support==<br /> Although a Republican, Paul remains on good terms with the [[Libertarian Party]] and addressed its national convention as recently as 2004.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.theadvocates.org/liberator/vol-09-num-10.htm Liberator online archive] on Advocates for self-governing accessed at March 4, 2007&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Paul served as the honorary chairman of and is a current member of the [[Republican Liberty Caucus]], a political action organization dedicated to promoting the ideals of individual rights, limited government and free enterprise within the Republican Party.&lt;ref&gt;[http://fl.rlc.org/ Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida] accessed at March 4, 2007&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Unlike many political candidates, Paul receives the overwhelming majority of his campaign contributions (96.8% in 2005-2006), from individuals. &lt;ref&gt;http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.asp?CID=N00005906&amp;cycle=2006/&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Paul has also founded the organization [[Institute for Peace and Prosperity]], which was criticized for it support of [[Barack Hussein Obama]]. A member of this Institute [[Eric Margolis]] compard Tea Partiers with Nazis.&lt;ref&gt;http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/ron-pauls-board-includes-obama-lover-and-terrorist-supporter-who-compared-tea-party-to-nazis/&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Political Views==<br /> <br /> Paul wants to &quot;reinstate the [[United States Constitution|Constitution]] and restore the [[Republic]].&quot; He rejects a [[welfare state]] or [[nanny state]] role for the federal government, and advocates a strong [[non-interventionism|non-interventionist]] [[foreign policy]]. <br /> <br /> He voted against the [[Iraq War]] in 2002 and has offered alternatives such as granting the President authority to grant [[Letters of Marque and Reprisal]], and arming [[pilot]]s. He is the only Republican presidential candidate to have voted against the Iraq War. <br /> <br /> Paul's desire to secure U.S. borders remains a key topic in his 2008 presidential campaign. He opposes the [[North American Union]] proposition and its proposed integration of Mexico, the United States of America, and Canada. Paul voted &quot;yes&quot; on the [[Secure Fence Act of 2006]], which authorizes the construction of an additional 700 miles of double-layered fencing between the U.S and Mexico. Paul opposes illegal immigration as well as amnesty for illegal immigrants.<br /> <br /> In the May 3, 2007 GOP Debate, Ron Paul stated that as President, he would seek the immediate abolition of the [[Internal Revenue Service|IRS]] and the abolition of the income tax. As Congressman, he has long fought for the [[Article_One_of_the_United_States_Constitution#Section_9:_Limits_on_Congress|prohibition of direct taxes]] by repeal of the [[16th Amendment to the United States Constitution|16th Amendment]] which created the [[income tax]]. Ron Paul supports a return to the [[gold]] standard of currency particularly newer theorized pure strain gold.<br /> <br /> On March 5, 2008, Ron Paul was the only member of the house to vote against a bill &quot;Condemning the ongoing Palestinian rocket attacks on Israeli civilians, and for other purposes&quot;&lt;ref&gt;http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2008/roll093.xml FINAL VOTE RESULTS FOR ROLL CALL 93&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;http://pressmediawire.com/article.cfm?articleID=18214 Congressman Ron Paul's Statement on Gaza Bill&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Paul supported [[WikiLeaks]]&lt;ref&gt;http://wlcentral.org/node/479&lt;/ref&gt; and the legalization of [[Cannabis]].<br /> <br /> Paul is a defender of [[Homeschooling]].&lt;ref&gt;http://www.ronpaul.com/2013-09-09/ron-paul-the-homeschooling-revolution/&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === On [[Libyan War|Libyan civil war]] ===<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> Why did the US intervene in a civil war in a country that has neither attacked us nor poses a threat? We are told this was another humanitarian intervention, like Clinton’s 1999 war against Serbia. But as civilian victims of the US-led coalition bombing continue to add up, it is getting difficult to determine whether the problem we are creating on the ground is worse than the one we were trying to solve. [http://www.ronpaul.com/2011-03-28/ron-paul-end-the-libyan-war/]<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> Michael Scheuer, former head of the CIA’s Bin Laden unit, explained in a recent article that there is plausible reason to believe the rebels are current or former Islamist mujahedin, eager to engage in jihad. Indeed, Gaddafi has fought against Libyan Islamists for years and is seen by them as a bitter enemy. Astoundingly, it may well be that we are assisting Al-Qaeda in this new war! [[Ibidem]]<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==2008 Presidential Campaign==<br /> <br /> Paul formally declared his candidacy for the 2008 Presidential election on 12 March, 2007 as a guest on [[Washington Journal]] on [[C-SPAN]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news | url = http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/metro/stories/MYSA031207.paul2008.EN.74141d9.html | title = Paul formally launches presidential bid | first = Gary | last = Martin | work = San Antonio Express-News | accessdate = 2007-03-13}}&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;ref&gt;[http://chbn.com/Clip.aspx?key=1CD9E3A0397BCBEC Ron Paul announcing candidacy on C-SPAN]&lt;/ref&gt;. In regards to his candidacy, he had a 30-minute interview with online political analyst [[James Kotecki]] regarding foreign policy, Congress and the Constitution, and personal liberties. &lt;ref&gt;[http://www.youtube.com/jameskotecki James Kotecki interviews Ron Paul]&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> Paul participated (along with nine other Republican presidential candidates) in the [[Ronald Reagan Presidential Library]]'s 2008 Republican Presidential Candidates Debate on May 3, 2007. Ron Paul finished first in the MSNBC poll following the GOP primary debate with 43 percent -- beating second place [[Mitt Romney]] by 5 percentage points.[http://www.ronpaul2008.typepad.com/]<br /> <br /> Paul seemed to have dropped slightly in the polls that followed the second Republican debate in Columbia, South Carolina, to 25 percent. This was probably as a result of his suggestion that weekly bombing of [[Iraq]] following [[Operation Desert Fox]] in December 1998 may have contributed sufficiently to [[Arab]] anger at the United States as to make the [[September 11, 2001 attacks|September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks]] inevitable. Paul was excoriated by [[Rudy Giuliani]], who said that this was the most bizarre explanation for the attacks he had ever heard. Other Republican commentators sought to explain Paul's continued strength in post-debate polls as the result of multiple votes by his supporters or voting by non-Republicans. In response to Rudy Giuliani, the next day at the National Press Club, Ron Paul offered Rudy a book list to read regarding the issue of American foreign policy. These books are ''Imperial Hubris'' by Michael Scheuer, ''Dying to Win'' by Robert Pape, ''Blowback'' by Chalmers Johnson, and ''The 9-11 Commission Report'' by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks.<br /> <br /> Eric Dondero, a former Ron Paul staffer, declared himself a candidate against Paul in the 2008 Republican primary election to represent the 14th District of Texas in Congress. Dondero (called &quot;Dumbdero&quot; by [[libertarians]]) dropped out shortly thereafter. Considering the trouncing Paul ended up giving to [[Chris Peden]] in the 2008 Republican congressional primary, it was likely for the better.<br /> <br /> Paul has garnered large amounts of support from activists, particularly on the [[Internet]]. Many have come up with creative ways to campaign for their candidate. For example, some Paul supporters, who are not officially affiliated with his campaign, purchased a blimp to fly overhead with the phrases &quot;Who is Ron Paul? Google Ron Paul&quot; and &quot;Ron Paul Revolution&quot;. &lt;ref&gt;http://www.ronpaulblimp.com/&lt;/ref&gt; The [[neo-Nazi]] organization [[Stormfront]] also provided [[widget]]s on its internet site to enable people to electronically donate cash to Paul's campaign. Stormfront's founder, former [[Ku Klux Klan]] member Don Black, also gave financial support to Paul's campaign.&lt;ref&gt;[http://lonestartimes.com/2007/10/25/rpb1/ Lone Star Times] 25 October 2007. Retrieved 24 July 2008.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> He dropped out of the race on June 12, 2008, but will keep spreading his [[message]] by working to help elect [[Libertarianism|libertarian-leaning]] Republicans to [[public]] office around the [[United States of America|U.S.]] &lt;ref&gt;[http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/06/12/ron-paul-ends-campaign-will-shift-gears/ <br /> Ron Paul Ends Campaign, Will ‘Shift Gears’], [[Associated Press]], ''[[Fox News Channel|Fox News]]'', June 12, 2008&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> === Possible Campaign censorship by the Media ===<br /> <br /> Fox News has frequently excluded Ron Paul from its programs, even in at least one case removing him from Iowa Straw Poll results. Fox News' results left out Paul (as well as [[Tom Tancredo]]), even though they scored 9.1% and 13.7%, respectively.<br /> <br /> === Straw Poll results ===<br /> <br /> Ron Paul was recently established as the most frequent winner of Straw Poll.<br /> <br /> ==2012 Presidential Campaign==<br /> As 2012 approached, there was speculation as to whether Paul would run as a Republican candidate or a third party candidate. This was in the context of a larger struggle within the Republican Party between an emerging [[Tea Party]] element and a more moderate Republican establishment. Paul had gained a dedicated following among the Tea Party, idealistic young people and libertarians, and needed to translate that support into an effective Presidential campaign. Paul also had to navigate between the expectations of his supporters, his strategic objectives and the possibilities that the Republican establishment could harm the future career of his son, Senator [[Rand Paul]].<br /> <br /> Leading up to the campaign, Paul appeared in the 2010 [[Conservative Political Action Conference]] (CPAC) straw poll. Paul won the poll, defeating Mitt Romney, who had won it the previous three years.&lt;ref name=CPAC&gt;{{cite news |url=http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/02/20/conservatives.meeting/index.html |title=Rep.

May 13, 2011, Retrieved September 18, 2012.&lt;/ref&gt; On July 12, 2011, Paul announced that he will not seek another term as the Representative of Texas's 14th District to focus on his presidential campaign.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|author=Dave Cook |url=http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/The-Vote/2011/0712/Ron-Paul-says-he-s-all-in-for-the-presidency-won-t-run-again-for-Congress |title=Ron Paul says he's all in for the presidency, won't run again for Congress |work=Christian Science Monitor|date=July 12, 2011 |accessdate=September 18, 2012}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Under Republican Party rules, delegates were selected in proportion to the results of state by state primaries. The actual delegates were to be selected at either a Congressional District or state-wide caucus or convention based upon the primary results. (In earlier times, delegates were either chosen by party leaders or awarded on a &quot;winner-take-all&quot; basis to the candidate that received the most votes in a particular state.) Although delegates to the convention were &quot;pledged&quot; to vote for a particular candidate on just the first ballot, the delegate was free to vote for anyone on later ballots and could vote independently on other questions such as the [[party platform]]. By organizing people to vote in local caucuses or volunteering to serve as delegates in Congressional district conventions, the Paul campaign was able to elect its supporters as National Convention Delegates even though Mitt Romney had gained more votes in the primary of a particular state.<br /> <br /> On May 14, 2012, Paul made a statement on the campaign's website that he would no longer be actively campaigning in remaining state primaries, but would instead continue his presidential bid by seeking to collect delegates at caucuses and state conventions for the [[Republican National Convention]] in August 2012.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|last=Paul|first=Ron|title=Ron Paul Statement on Campaign Going Forward|url=http://www.ronpaul2012.com/2012/05/14/ron-paul-statement-on-campaign-going-forward/|accessdate=September 18, 2012}}&lt;/ref&gt; This left Mitt Romney as the only remaining candidate actively participating in the primaries.<br /> <br /> In June 2012, a group of 132 Paul supporters filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the [[Republican National Committee]] and 55 state and territorial Republican party organizations for allegedly coercing delegates to choose [[Mitt Romney]] as the party’s presidential nominee. The suit sought to give all delegates the right to vote for Paul on the first ballot, even if they were &quot;pledged&quot; to another candidate.&lt;ref name=suit&gt;{{cite news|last=Roth|first=Caroline|title=RNC Faces Suit from Paul Backers|url=http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/rnc-faces-suit-from-paul-backers-20120619|accessdate=Septmeber 18, 2012|newspaper=National Journal|date=June 19, 2012}}&lt;/ref&gt; The suit alleged that there had been &quot;a systematic campaign of election fraud at state conventions,&quot; employing rigging of voting machines, ballot stuffing, and falsification of ballot totals. The suit further pointed to incidents at state conventions, including acts of violence and changes in procedural rules, allegedly intended to deny participation of Paul supporters in the party decision-making and to prevent votes from being cast for Paul. An attorney representing the plaintiffs said that Paul campaign advisor [[Doug Wead]] had supported the decision to sue.&lt;ref name=suit/&gt; Paul told [[CNN]] that although the lawsuit was not a part of his campaign’s strategy and that he had not been advising his supporters to sue, he was not going to tell his supporters not to sue, if they had a legitimate argument. “If they’re not following the rules, you have a right to stand up for the rules.

He is anti-war, anti-Patriot Act, believes the [[War on Drugs]] should end, supports legalization of marijuana, supports stem cell research, opposes capital punishment, gave support for the Occupy &quot;movement&quot; (although he supported the Tea Party as well), is against corporate welfare, and is supported by many liberals. On the other hand, he opposes public healthcare, abortion, and welfare so remains popular with libertarians and some conservatives.

Snowden''' (Born June 21, 1983) is an American [[IT]] specialist and a former employee of defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton (a contractor for the [[National Security Agency]]). In June 2013 Snowden embarrassed [[Barack Obama]] by revealing the mass [[domestic surveillance]] program known as &quot;[[PRISM]],&quot;. This is an internet snooping program run by the National Security Agency, as constituted by former [[George W. Bush|President George W. Bush]]. He explained to shocked Americans that the National Security Agency had in effect built a dossier on every man, woman and child in the [[United States of America]], and probably beyond borders.<br /> <br /> The revelations made Snowden Obama's nemesis, and Obama has neglected most other issues, notably the downfall of the [[Muslim Brotherhood]] government in [[Egypt]], in his pursuit of the young man. At one point, Obama had [[Evo Morales]], the prime minister of [[Bolivia]] detained in an inept attempt to intercept Snowden. <br /> <br /> Snowden is a [[video game]] player.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.viralread.com/2013/06/15/who-is-edward-snowden-background-on-nsa-leaker-emerges/&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Snowden told the British left wing newspaper [[The Guardian]]:<br /> <br /> * &quot;I will be satisfied if the federation of secret law, unequal pardon and irresistible executive powers that rule the world that I love are revealed even for an instant.&quot;&lt;ref&gt; [http://www.humanevents.com/2013/06/10/meet-the-nsa-leaker/ Meet the NSA leaker], ''[[Human Events]]''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The liberal ''Washington Post'' quotes him as saying:<br /> <br /> * &quot;Allowing the U.S. government to intimidate its people with threats of retaliation for revealing wrongdoing is contrary to the public interest.&quot;&lt;ref&gt; [http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/intelligence-leaders-push-back-on-leakers-media/2013/06/09/fff80160-d122-11e2-a73e-826d299ff459_story.html Edward Snowden comes forward as source of NSA leaks], ''Washington Post''&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> After leaking the information in question, Snowden stayed in Hong Kong for a while; he then left China and went to Russia en route to seeking asylum in [[Ecuador]].

Rubio is previously served as Speaker of the [[Florida]] House of Representatives from 2007 through 2009. He won the Florida [[U.S. Senate]] seat in the [[2010 midterm elections]], defeating [[RINO]] [[Charlie Crist]] in the Republican primary. Rubio is of Cuban descent.<br /> <br /> [[Conservatives]] helped Rubio win his upset victory for [[U.S. Senate]], but soon after his election Rubio quickly catered to the [[Establishment]] instead. He became part of the &quot;Gang of Eight&quot; that promoted phony &quot;immigration reform,&quot; at the urging of [[liberal]] [[Democrat]]s. He also quickly became a [[neocon]]. He declared that he would not run for reelection, but would run for president instead.<br /> <br /> During his tenure in the state legislature (2001-2009), he advocated an overhaul of the Florida [[tax]] system that would have eliminated all property taxes in favor of a flat consumption tax. Americans for Tax Reform called him &quot;the most pro-taxpayer legislative leader in the country.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;http://www.sptimes.com/2007/06/10/State/On_special_session_st.shtml&lt;/ref&gt; Additionally, he is a strong advocate of limited government and private property rights.<br /> <br /> On April 13, 2015, Rubio announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination in the [[2016 presidential election]].&lt;ref&gt;http://www.c-span.org/video/?325251-1/senator-marco-rubio-rfl-presidential-campaign-announcement&lt;/ref&gt; Originally supported by the [[Establishment]], Rubio later obtained independent financial backing and stayed in the race longer than the Establishment wanted, which then used [[Chris Christie]] to destroy Rubio at the key debate before the [[New Hampshire primary]].<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> Rubio's parents came to the United States in 1956, two and a half years before the [[communist]] takeover of Cuba by [[Fidel Castro]].&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/marco-rubios-compelling-family-story-embellishes-facts-documents-show/2011/10/20/gIQAaVHD1L_story.html]&lt;/ref&gt; In Florida, his father worked as a bartender, and his mother worked as a waitress. They relocated to [[Las Vegas]] in 1979 when Marco was 8 years old, where his father worked as a bartender at Sam's Town, and his mother worked as a housekeeper at the Imperial Palace. Six years later, the Rubio family returned to Miami where Marco's father found work at the Mayfair Hotel.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.lvrj.com/news/gop-s-young-gun-rubio-lived-in-lv-106674913.html&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Rubio earned a bachelor of science degree from the [[University of Florida]] and a juris doctor from the [[University of Miami]]. He is married to Jeanette Dousdebes, and they have 4 children: Amanda Loren, Daniella, Anthony, and Dominick.<br /> <br /> == Endorsement ==<br /> The ''Miami Herald'' wholeheartedly endorsed Rubio during the 2010 Senate race:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;At this critical juncture in the nation’s economy, Mr. Rubio offers a welcome dose of fiscal restraint. He has exhibited common sense on Social Security, where he proposes raising the retirement age as a way of keeping the program solvent. Neither Mr. Crist nor Mr. Meek has dared to make take such a clear stand. ''Mr. Rubio has the potential to be the kind of statesman Floridians can be proud to call a native son -- much like another [[conservative]], former Senator Connie Mack.&quot;'' &lt;ref&gt;[http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/10/24/1887397/for-us-senate-the-miami-herald.html#ixzz13GnxeIES For U.S. Senate, The Miami Herald recommends Marco Rubio.]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Political Views==<br /> Rubio supports the [[Tea Party Movement]]. He does not believe in [[Global warming]], opposes [[Gun control]] and is [[Pro-life]].&lt;ref&gt;http://www.ontheissues.org/senate/Marco_Rubio.htm&lt;/ref&gt; He withdrew his support from the [[liberal]] [[PIPA]] entertainment bill after hearing from citizens opposed to it.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/The-Vote/2012/0119/SOPA-and-PIPA-protest-power-why-Marco-Rubio-backed-off-piracy-bill Marco Rubio Drops Support for PIPA&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Creationism ===<br /> Rubio supports the teaching of the [[Young Earth Creationism|young earth theory]] rather than allowing [[atheist]]s and [[liberals]] to impose [[censorship]] in [[public school]].&lt;ref&gt;http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/268679-rubio-ok-to-teach-qmultiple-theoriesq-on-earths-age&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Foreign Policy ===<br /> Rubio wants to give more support to [[Israel]] to fight [[Hamas]].<br /> <br /> === Immigaration ===<br /> Rubio wants to give undocumented immigrants brought as minors a form of temporary legal status, but he stressed then it would not be a pathway to citizenship.&lt;ref&gt;http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/politics/slideshow/2013/01/29/key-players-in-quest-for-immigration-reform/#slide=4&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> === Muslims and Islam ===<br /> Marco Rubio has downplayed the threat to America posed by migrating Muslims and [[Islamic]] ideology, and has proposed a new plan for helping [[Barack Obama]] resettle Syrian refugees in the United States.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/11/22/marco-rubio-syrian-refugees-bring-young-old/ Marco Rubio on Syrian Refugees: Bring in the Very Young and the Very Old]&lt;/ref&gt; During a presidential forum with [[Fox News]] host [[Megyn Kelly]], Rubio also condemned a recreational gun range that banned Muslims from their facility, and claimed, &quot;The bottom line is there are millions of patriotic Muslim Americans.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/25/marco-rubio-it-is-wrong-and-immoral-to-ban-muslim-americans-from-gun-ranges/ Marco Rubio: It Is ‘Wrong’ And ‘Immoral’ To Ban Muslim-Americans From Gun Ranges]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/ Senate Website]<br /> *[http://www.facebook.com/MarcoRubio Facebook page]<br /> *[http://twitter.com/marcorubio Twitter page]<br /> *[http://www.youtube.com/user/MarcoRubio YouTube channel]<br /> *[https://marcorubio.com Marco Rubio 2016 campaign website]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist|}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:United States Senators]]<br /> [[Category:Conservatives]]<br /> [[Category:Republicans]]<br /> [[Category:2010 Midterm Elections]]<br /> [[Category:The 100 Americans The Left Hates Most]]<br /> [[Category:Tea Party Movement]]<br /> [[Category:Florida]]<br /> [[Category:Pro Second Amendment]]<br /> [[Category:Catholic Politicians]]<br /> [[Category:113th United States Congress]]<br /> [[Category:114th United States Congress]]<br /> [[Category:2016 Presidential Candidates]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Rubio, Marco}}<br /> {{Conservatism}}</div>

<p>TrappedinSF: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Selective outrage''' is when [[Mainstream media|the media]] or a group of people becomes completely hysterical over what one person or group of people says or does (usually [[Conservatives]]), but ignores and/or [[Censorship|censors]] when others (Non-Conservatives) say or do similar or worse things.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Examples ==<br /> === [[War]] ===<br /> * When [[George W. Bush]] was in office, DC was crowded with anti-war protesters from the left. When [[Barack Hussein Obama]] took over, they suddenly disappeared, [[Hypocrisy|unlike the wars they were protesting]].<br /> === [[Gay]] and [[Transgender]] Issues ===<br /> * When asked, Carrie Prejean, first runner-up for Miss California 2009, said she believed marriage was between a man and a woman; liberals viciously and profanely slandered her. At the same time, when asked, [[Barack Hussein Obama|Barack Obama]] and [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] also said they believed marriage was only between a man and a woman, and [[Democrats]] still loved them unconditionally.<br /> * After the passage of [[Proposition 8]], the constitutional amendment banning [[Same-sex marriage|same-sex marriage]] in [[California]], protesters only vandalized the mostly-white churches that supported it, most notably [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints]], also known as the Mormons, even though the majority of African-American and Hispanic voters in California voted for it as well.<br /> * Numerous liberal musicians and companies are boycotting the state of [[North Carolina]] over HB2, the law that requires one to use the restroom based off the sex on their birth certificate, and states that enact [[Religious freedom|religious freedom]] laws, but still perform or do business in foreign countries like [[Russia]] or [[Dubai]] where LGBT people are jailed and even killed.<br /> * Liberals are [[Liberal whining|constantly whining]] and trying to smear [[Christians]] as intolerant [[Bigotry|bigots]] when [[Radical Islam|radical Muslims]] are the ones who behead, shoot, bomb, burn, and toss gay people off of buildings, and they either completely turn a blind eye or go straight to blaming the &quot;[[Conservative Christians|Christian Right]]&quot; and responsible, [[Nonviolence|nonviolent]] gun owners.<br /> <br /> === [[Life]] Issues ===<br /> * Liberals scream bloody murder over the deaths of Cecil the Lion or Harambe the Gorilla, but applaud [[Planned Parenthood]] brutally murdering unborn babies and selling their organs.<br /> === [[Socialism]] ===<br /> * [[Bernie Sanders]] supporters are always complaining about how evil [[Capitalism]] is and how fair and equal Socialism is, but are blind to see how Socialism is a &quot;too good to be true&quot; system that has drawbacks way worse that its potential benefits, and has failed miserably every time it has been attempted in history, most notably in [[Venezuela]] today.<br /> === [[Donald Trump]] Protests ===<br /> * Violence against Trump protesters is considered one of the worst things in the world, but when protesters commit acts of violence against Trump supporters, they either blame Donald Trump himself, say that they (his supporters) &quot;deserve it&quot;, or [[Liberal denial|deny that such violence is happening altogether]].<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [[Liberal bias]]<br /> * [[Liberal logic]]<br /> * [[Liberal denial]]<br /> * [[Liberal whining]]<br /> * [[Hypocrisy]]<br /> * [[Censorship]]<br /> * [[Double standards]]<br /> <br /> {{Liberalism}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Liberalism]]<br /> [[Category:Liberal Traits]]<br /> [[Category:Logical Fallacies]]<br /> [[Category:Homosexual Agenda]]<br /> [[Category:Censorship]]</div>

<p>TrappedinSF: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Hispanic Demographic.jpg|350px|right|thumb|Latinos at first concentrate to states nearest Mexico (and Cuba), but then diffuse throughout the U.S.]] <br /> <br /> '''Latino''' (in the US) is a new English word (Americanism) derived from a Spanish word that means a person of Latin languages-speaking descent. Latinos, in English, means [[Mexicans]] and other people of [[Latin America]]n descent living in the U.S.&lt;ref&gt; David G. Gutiérrez, ed. ''The Columbia History of Latinos in the United States Since 1960'' (2004) pp 1-2 [http://www.amazon.com/Columbia-History-Latinos-United-States/dp/0231118090/ref=sr_1_1/103-4827826-5463040?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1190386160&amp;sr=8-1 online excerpt] &lt;/ref&gt; &lt;ref&gt; [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/latinos Latino] Dictionary.com<br /> &lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> However, the term &quot;Latin&quot; is derived from Southern Europeans' ancient language, [[Latin]], the language spoken by the Romans; descendant languages are [[Spanish]], [[French]], [[Italian]], [[Portuguese]] (also spoken in [[Brazil]] in South America), and to a distance, [[Romanian]] in [[Romania]] and the [[Balkans]].<br /> <br /> == Latinos in the US ==<br /> [[File:Sotomeyr2.jpg|thumb|250px|Sotomayor's parents came from Puerto Rico; her mother was a WAC in the US Army in World War II]]<br /> <br /> Latinos are diverse: 60% are native-born and 40% foreign-born; 64% are of Mexican heritage, and the other 36% are from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Central America and beyond. They split their vote in 2004, when President Bush appealed for their votes, but voted 2-1 against McCain in 2008 when he made little appeal to them. Despite their diversity they were united in celebrating the nomination to the Supreme Court of Judge [[Sonia Sotomayor]] in May 2009. She was born to a poor family of migrants from Puerto Rico, and after attending Princeton and Yale Law School made it to the top through very hard work. Her nomination marked the national recognition and acceptance of all Latinos. <br /> <br /> As a united whole, Hispanics make up more than 15% of the U.S. population and accounted for about half of the country's growth in the past decade.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Hispanic.jpg|thumb|450px|Hispanic population in the US in 1990. Since 1990 there has been a doubling in numbers and much greater presence outside the Southwest]]<br /> By 2005, the Latino population in the US reached 41.3 million, of whom 64% were Mexican, 10% Puerto Rican, 3% Cuban, 3% Dominican, 3% Salvadoran, and the remaining 17% from smaller groups. &lt;ref&gt; See Census Bureau press release, July 16, 2007 at [http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/010327.html]&lt;/ref&gt; According to the Pew Research Center in 2008, 12,7 millions were of Mexican origin (32% of all immigrants living in this country). &lt;ref&gt; [http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1191/mexican-immigrants-in-america-largest-group Mexican Immigrants in the United States, 2008] &lt;/ref&gt; About 30% of the Latinos --12 million --are illegal (&quot;undocumented&quot;) immigrants to the U.S., a number that has grown since the [[September 11, 2001 attacks|9-11 attacks of 2001]]. The illegal--and indeed the legal immigrants-- have become targets of verbal and political criticism. <br /> <br /> Culturally they are mostly [[conservative]] [[Catholics]], with a strong [[evangelical]] element. They are known for very strong family ties, and high birth rates. They cluster at the bottom of the socio-economic scale, with low levels of education and high dropout rates from schools, and mostly hold unskilled or semi-skilled jobs. The &quot;illegals&quot; (undocumented) hold even lower-skilled jobs in agriculture, construction, landscaping, hotels and restaurants, while sending money back to their families. The Latino crime rate is about the national average. The illegals pay the same sales taxes as everyone, but usually have incomes too low to pay income taxes. Many of the ilegals pay social security taxes into false accounts (which means they are not entitled to benefits). The legals include both citizens and legal residents who are not yet citizens; all children born in the U.S. have U.S. citizenship. In many families, some members are illegal and some are legal non-citizens and others are full citizens.<br /> <br /> They have been politically rather inactive (except in [[New Mexico]] and [[Puerto Rico]]). Politically, the citizens have low turnout rates, but their rapid increase of numbers presages a major voting block. [[George W. Bush]], and to a lesser extent [[John McCain]] have made major efforts to attract them to the Republican Party, but Democrats outnumber Republicans by about 65:35.<br /> <br /> The assimilation rates of Latinos resembles that of Italians and Poles in the early 20th century, and is higher than the rate of immigrants who came from Germany in the 18th and 19th century. Latinos have assimilated smoothly into American religion, sports, jobs and popular culture. They cling to favorite foods, but have made Mexican cuisine as popular in the U.S. as pizza (which the Italians brought over). The first generation, who came to the U.S. as adults, mostly speak Spanish. Their children are usually bilingual; very few of the children attend Spanish language schools or read Spanish.<br /> <br /> ==19th century==<br /> When [[Mexico]] took over control from [[Spain]] in the early 1820s, the new government ignored and isolated the &quot;norteños&quot; (inhabitants of Mexico's northern provinces), except to break up the mission system in [[California]]. The systematic [[Navajo]] and [[Apache]] raids on [[New Mexico]] villages and ranches were ignored, as was the vulnerability of California, as the central government pulled back its soldiers to use them in recurrent civil wars and factional battles. When [[Republic of Texas|Texas]] seemed too independent, Mexico's President [[Santa Anna]] led an army to massacre the villagers and destroy the American settlements. After initial victories and massacres at The Alamo and Goliad, Santa Anna was decisively defeated by the Texans, who declared independence. The Tejanos in Texas joined the revolution and supported the new Republic of Texas; The Hispanics in New Mexico and California were localistic and did not identify with the regime in Mexico City. The &quot;norteños&quot; played a minor role in the [[Mexican American War]] of 1846-48, and when offered the choice of repatriating to Mexico or remaining and becoming full citizens of the United States, the great majority remained. Only when large numbers of Americans arrived did they develop a sense of &quot;lo mexicano,&quot; that is of &quot;being Mexican,&quot; and that new identification had little to do with far-off Mexico. &lt;ref&gt; David G. Gutiérrez, &quot;Migration, Emergent Ethnicity, and the &quot;Third Space&quot;: The Shifting Politics of Nationalism in Greater Mexico&quot; ''Journal of American History'' 1999 86(2): 481-517.

The Californios--who only numbered 10,000 in 1848, remained in California but were soon overwhelmed by the immigration of hundreds of thousands of newcomers to California, and largely became invisible to Anglos. The Latino culture of the rest of the Southwest, especially New Mexico and southern Texas, called itself &quot;Spanish&quot; (rather than &quot;Mexican&quot;) to distinguish themselves from &quot;los norteamericanos&quot;. The Latinos emphasized their own religion, language, customs and kinship ties, and drew into enclaves, rural colonias and urban barrios, which norteamericanos seldom entered; intermarriage rates were low.<br /> <br /> ==20th century==<br /> [[File:Texas-1905-Mexicans.jpg|left|250px|Mexican American field workers picking carrots in the Rio Grande Valley, about 1905]] After 1911 the ferocious civil wars in Mexico led 600,000 to 1 million refugees to flee north across the border, which was generally open. Well educated middle class families emigrated, as well as poor peons. <br /> <br /> In Texas a band of radicals based in Mexico issued the manifesto &quot;[[Plan de San Diego]]&quot; in 1915 in South Texas calling on Hispanics to reconquer the Southwest and kill all the Anglo men. These radicals assassinated opponents and killed several dozen people in attacks on railroads and ranches before the Texas Rangers smashed the insurrection. The vast majority of Tejanos strongly repudiated the Plan and affirmed their American loyalty by founding the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). LULAC, headed by professionals, businessmen and modernizers, became the central Tejano organization promoting civic pride and civil rights.&lt;ref&gt; Benjamin H. Johnson, ''Revolution in Texas: how a forgotten rebellion and its bloody suppression turned Mexicans into Americans''. (2003). &lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[Image:Prize workers 1926.jpg|thumb|Prize workers, 1926]]<br /> <br /> Over 500,000 returned after 1930, but many stayed. The consulates of the Mexican government in major cities in the Southwest organized a network of &quot;juntas patrioticas&quot; (patriotic councils) and &quot;comisiónes honoríficos&quot; (honorary committees) to celebrate Mexican national holidays such as the [[Cinco de Mayo]]; the target audience was the Latino middle class.&lt;ref&gt; In Mexico itself, the emergence of a national identity for the average person was the work of the 20th century. After 1920 the national government promoted &quot;true&quot; mexicanismo by stirring up anti-American sentiment; promoting contemporary Mexican art, music, and literature; extolling and placing new emphasis on the value of the nation's indigenous peoples and the heritage of mestizaje. Gutiérrez (1999)&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> [[Image:Mexican people.jpg|thumb|Mexicans in Madison, Wisconsin.]]<br /> In borderlands towns such as Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Laredo, San Antonio, El Paso, Tucson, Yuma, San Diego, and Los Angeles, local Latino leaders wanted to restrict the influx of immigrants, because the newcomers directly competed with resident Latinos for jobs and housing and because they reinforced negative stereotypes regarding a lazy and violent lifestyle. In 1929 the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) was formed on the premise that full acceptance of American social, educational and political values was the only way Latinos could reasonably expect to improve their political, economic, and social position in American society. Some upwardly mobile families joined [[Protestant]] churches, but most remained devout, conservative [[Roman Catholicism|Roman Catholics]]. From the early 1930s through the 1960s, LULAC's political agenda focused on citizenship training and naturalization of &quot;foreign-born Mexicans,&quot; English-language training, active support of antidiscriminatory litigation and legislation (particularly regarding public schools), and strict control of further immigration from Mexico. LULAC promoted the liberal rhetoric of &quot;equality&quot; and &quot;rights&quot; and the mutual obligations of republican civic duty. However, voting levels were quite low, and especially in South Texas the Latino vote was controlled by local &quot;bosses.&quot; There was little in the way of radical movements.<br /> <br /> ==World War II==<br /> World War II was a watershed for all the Latino groups. Some 500,000 were drafted; even larger numbers of the women and older men worked in high paying munitions plants, ending the hardship years of the [[Great Depression|depression]] and inspiring demands for upward mobility and political rights. The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) and El Congreso de Pueblos de Hablan Española (the Spanish-Speaking Peoples' Congress), founded before the war, expanded their membership and more successfully demanded full integration for their middle class constituents. Labor unions opened their membership rolls and Luisa Moreno became the first Latina to hold a national union office, as vice-president of the United Cannery, Agricultural, Packing, and Allied Workers of America (UCAPAWA), and affiliate of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). <br /> <br /> ===Post 1945===<br /> From 1945 to the early 1970s, large numbers of Latinos moved out of dead-end, low-wage work into higher-paying and higher-status skilled blue-collar occupations.&lt;ref&gt; 43% of the men were still unskilled workers or farm laborers in 1950; by 1960, the proportion had fallen to 33%.&lt;/ref&gt; They and their children experienced steady gains in virtually all major socioeconomic indicators, including income, occupational status, English-language proficiency, years of education, and geographic mobility. The opportunities were in the cities; there was little upward mobility for those who remained in the California farmland or in the chronically depressed lower [[Rio Grande]] Valley of Texas, and in the isolated rural hamlets of [[Colorado]] and [[New Mexico]].&lt;ref&gt; Bean and Tienda, ''The Hispanic Population of the United States'' (1987), 17-22, 280-337. &lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Seasonal migration===<br /> A common pattern emerged after 1940 of men working summers in the U.S. and spending the winter season in the village back in Mexico. While this became illegal in 1965, the numbers involved kept growing. By 2007 there were 12 million or so undocumented workers in the U.S.; they had jobs, often using fake identity cards. They made money in the U.S. but returned to the villages to spend it, attend fiestas, tend to family business, and participate in extended kinship rituals such as [[baptism]]s, weddings, and funerals. After the increased border security following the 9-11 attacks in 2001, the back-and-forth pattern became dangerous. People kept coming north, but they stayed in the U.S. and sent money home every month. Locked into the American economy year-round, millions of these undocumented workers moved out of season agricultural jobs into year-round jobs in restaurants, hotels, construction, landscaping and semiskilled factory work, such as meat packing. Most paid federal social security taxes into imaginary accounts (and thus were not eligible for benefits.) Few had high enough incomes to pay federal or state income taxes, but all paid local and state sales taxes on their purchases as well as local property taxes (via their rent payments to landlords).<br /> <br /> ==Politics==<br /> <br /> Latinos engaged in national politics for the first time in 1960 when hundreds of &quot;Viva Kennedy&quot; clubs were created. As a result of military service in World War II the slowly improving civil rights atmosphere of the 1950s, Mexican Americans had tasted some limited successes in access to employment, education (particularly through the benefits of the G.I. Bill), and the election of a few government officials at the state and local levels. Moreover, with the establishment of new, aggressive Mexican American advocacy organizations in the Southwest between 1947 and 1959, community activists symbolically announced that Mexican Americans would henceforth be a political force with which to reckon. About 85% of the Mexican American vote went to Kennedy, slightly higher than other Catholic ethnics. The Latinos took credit for carrying California and Texas by razor-thin margins. President Kennedy, however, made some symbolic appointments but showed minimal interest in Mexican American issues. <br /> <br /> In 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, [[George W. Bush]] made a systematic effort to reach Latino voters, obtaining 40% of their vote. Most remained Democrats and in the 2008 presidential election, heavily favored [[Hillary Clinton]] over [[Barack Obama]] for the nomination.<br /> <br /> [[Bill Richardson]] (1947) served as the Democratic Governor of the State of [[New Mexico]] from 2003 to 2011. He previously has served as a Congressman, United States Ambassadors to the United Nations, and U.S. Secretary of Energy. He was nominated as Secretary of Commerce in the Obama Administration. Three of his four grandparents were Mexican citizens. <br /> <br /> [[Sonia Sotomayor]] (born in New York City, 1954) joined the U.S. Supreme Court in August 2009. Sotomayor, is a Catholic and the first Hispanic nominated to the high court.<br /> <br /> [[Adolfo Carrion Jr.]] (b. 1961) is a Democratic politician of Hispanic ancestry. Carrion was appointed to the position of Director of the White House Office of Urban Affairs in the Obama Administration.<br /> <br /> In September 2010, Obama declared: ''Long before America was even an idea, this land of plenty was home to many peoples, to British and French, to Dutch and Spanish, to Mexican, to countless Indian tribes. We all shared the same land. We didn't always get along.''<br /> [[File:Brian Sandoval 2010.jpg|thumb|Brian Sandoval.]]<br /> In 2011, [[Brian Sandoval]] became Nevada's 30th governor; Sandoval is the first Hispanic in Nevada to win a statewide election as attorney general in 2002 and the former federal judge and chairman of the Gaming Commission will hold the same distinction as governor. At the same time [[Susana Martinez]] (1959), Republican, is the current Governor of New Mexico; She served as District Attorney for the 3rd Judicial District in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, having been elected in 1996 and reelected three times. She is the first hispanic womam governor in U.S. history. <br /> <br /> Another notable conservative latino of Cuban origin is [[Marco Rubio]], speaker of the house of [[Florida]].<br /> <br /> ==Religion==<br /> About 80% of Latinos are Roman Catholic, and typically follow traditional styles.<br /> ===Pentecostals===<br /> Of the thirty-seven million [[Latinos]] living in the United States, nearly five million declare themselves to be either [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostal or Charismatic]], and more convert every day. Latinos are not new to Pentecostalism; indeed, they have been becoming Pentecostal for more than a hundred years. Thus several generations have never belonged to any other faith. However, there is a common misperception of all of them as recent converts. The Latino Pentecostals participate in the spiritual and material culture of the larger evangelical Christian movement and imprints that movement with its own experiences. Diverse Latino faith communities—U.S. Chicano churches, pan–Latin American immigrant churches, and mixed Latin American and U.S. Latino churches—have carved out their own unique religious space.&lt;ref&gt; Arlene Sanchez Walsh, ''Latino Pentecostal Identity: Evangelical Faith, Self, and Society'' (2003)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Demography==<br /> [[Image:Jessica Alba.jpg|thumb|Jessica Alba born in Pomona, California to [[Denmark|Danish]] and [[France|French]] [[Canada|Canadian]] descent mother and Mexican American descent father.]]<br /> California in 2006 had the largest Hispanic population of any state as of 2006 (13.1 million), followed by Texas (8.4 million) and Florida (3.6 million). Texas had the largest numerical increase between 2005 and 2006 (305,000), with California (283,000) and Florida (161,000) following. In New Mexico, Hispanics comprised the highest proportion of the total population (44%), with California and Texas (36% each) next in line. The Hispanic population in 2006 was much younger, with a median age of 27.4 compared with the population as a whole at 36.4. About a third of the Hispanic population was younger than 18, compared with one-fourth of the total population.&lt;ref&gt; See Census report May 17, 2007 at [http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/releases/archives/population/010048.html] with details at [http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/releases/archives/cb07-70tbl2.xls]&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> The rapid growth of the Hispanic population after 1972 began in the Southwest, but spread nationwide by 2000. The diffusion of Latinos across the country was dramatic by 2008, and became a major issue in the presidential election, with Republicans echoing nativist hostilities. In Georgia, for example, there were barely 60,000 Latinos in 1980, and 100,000 in 1990, less than 2%. By the 2000 Census the number had surged to 435,000, or 5%, with continuing rapid growth to 700,000 in 2006.&lt;ref&gt; Bullock and Hood (2006)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In 1972 Hispanics comprised 6% of public school students, and more than tripled to 20% in 2005. However, despite fears that assimilation would be difficult, the proportion of students who spoke English with difficulty has been flat at 5%, according to graph 1.<br /> <br /> [[Fernando Valenzuela]], [[Salma Hayek]], Eduardo 'Piolín' Sotelo and Andrés Bermúdez are examples of Latinos that succeeded in US. <br /> {{Clear}}<br /> <br /> ==Puerto Ricans==<br /> The U.S. acquired Puerto Rico from Spain in 1898, and engaged in a massive modernization program involving disease control, sanitation, transportation, internal improvements, and medical care, along with corporate investment in sugar plantations. The island was overpopulated, so a systematic effort was made to assist migration. Over 5000 migrated to Hawaii (also acquired in 1898) to work in sugar plantations. By 1920 Puerto Ricans had full U.S. citizenship and had a presence in 45 states. New York City was the destination of 60%; children born anywhere on the mainland were dubbed &quot;Nuyorican.&quot;&lt;ref&gt; Ruiz (2006)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Chicago==<br /> Fernandez (2005) documents the history of Mexican and Puerto Rican immigration and community formation in Chicago after World War II. Beginning with World War II, Mexican and Puerto Rican workers traveled to the Midwest through varying migrant streams to perform unskilled labor. They settled in separate areas of Chicago. These parallel migrations created historically unique communities where both groups encountered one another in the mid-twentieth century. By the 1950s and 1960s, both groups experienced repeated displacements and dislocations from the Near West Side, the Near North Side and the Lincoln Park neighborhood. At the macro level, Mexican and Puerto Rican workers' life chances were shaped by federal policies regarding immigration, labor, and citizenship. At the local level, they felt the impact of municipal government policies, which had specific racial dimensions. As these populations relocated from one neighborhood to the next, they made efforts to shape their own communities and their futures. During the period of the Civil Rights Movement, Mexicans and Puerto Ricans engaged in social struggles, both in coalition with one another but also as separate, distinct, national minorities. They created organizations and institutions such as Casa Aztlán , the Young Lords Organization, Mujeres Latinas en Acción , the Latin American Defense Organization, and El Centro de la Causa. These organizations drew upon differing strategies based on notions of nation, gender, and class, and at times produced inter-ethnic and inter-racial coalitions.&lt;ref&gt; Lilia Fernández, &quot;Latina/o Migration and Community Formation in Postwar Chicago: Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Gender, and Politics, 1945-1975.&quot; PhD dissertation U. of California, San Diego 2005. 302 pp. DAI 2006 66(10): 3779-A.

DA3150079 <br /> Fulltext: [[ProQuest Dissertations &amp; Theses]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Historiography==<br /> The study of Latino history raises a issues regarding the definition and boundaries of &quot;Latino.&quot; Are Latinos a &quot;group&quot; and if so, what are its defining boundaries and characteristics? Is speaking Spanish a requirement to be Latino? Are indigenous peoples from Latin America part of the group? Do Latinos consider themselves a group? Do they cluster along lines of geographical origin? What is the relationship between old established settlements and new arrivals? How does the presence of 12 million undocumented (&quot;illegal&quot;) arrivals affect the 25 million &quot;legal&quot; residents of the U.S. How has nativism and the hostility of Anglos and blacks shaped the group identity and opportunity? What impact is the rapid diffusion across the country having on local communities, schools, labor markets. Will the Latinos start voting in large numbers and become a political force? What is the impact of high dropout rates? Will majority-Latino communities change the national culture? Does Latino immigration follow or alter traditional patterns of assimilation? <br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [[Raul Labrador]] - U.S. [[House of Representatives]] [[Conservative]]-[[Libertarian]] [[TEA Party]] [[Republican]] from [[Idaho]]<br /> * [[Ted Cruz]] - Conservative Republican [[Senator]] from [[Texas]]<br /> * [[Marco Rubio]] - Republican Senator from [[Florida]]<br /> * [[Adolfo Carrion Jr.]]<br /> * [[Alberto R.

<p>TrappedinSF: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Marijuana.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Indoor Marijuana Grow (DEA photo)]]<br /> '''Marijuana''' (colloquially known as '''&quot;weed&quot;''' or '''&quot;pot&quot;''') is the name given to the flowering buds of the cannabis sativa plant prepared for human consumption. The main active ingredient in marijuana is [[Tetrahydrocannabinol|THC]], or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, an [[organic chemistry|organic chemical]] compound. Marijuana is harmful and generally illegal to possess, cultivate and sell in most countries, although it is legal in a few liberal jurisdictions if prescribed as medication by a physician.&lt;ref&gt;The sale of marijuana is illegal virtually everywhere in the world, and results in long prison sentences in many places. In Portugal, Argentina, California and South Australia, the use (rather than the sale) of small quantities of marijuana is allowed. In only one country in the world, the Netherlands, the sale of marijuana in small quantities is reportedly allowed by law enforcement.&lt;/ref&gt; The crime rate in Denver has skyrocketed by 44% since marijuana was legalized in that state.<br /> <br /> In the past two decades, the number of brain tumors has increased by up to 40% in the U.S. and Europe, particularly among men between ages of 20 and 40&lt;ref&gt;http://www.healthandenvironment.org/brain_cancer/peer_reviewed&lt;/ref&gt; - the same demographic that is most likely to have smoked pot.<br /> <br /> The [[liberal media]] typically downplay or completely ignore the role of marijuana in [[Young mass murderers|mass killings]], horrific accidents, and other types of harm to innocent people victimized by users of the drug. For example, authorities conceal from the public how much marijuana was in the system of &quot;College Weed Dealer&quot; [[Young Mass Murderers|Dzhokhar Tsarnaev]] when he went on his alleged killing rampage.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2013/04/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-dealing-drugs/64529/&lt;/ref&gt; ''Rolling Stone'' magazine, which has often featured drug abusers, displayed Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on its cover in July 2013.<br /> <br /> The effects of marijuana can include short-term memory loss, malaise, psychosis in predisposed individuals, violence and violent fits, as well as impairment of physical and mental functioning. Some research has found that cannabis has medicinal benefits (see [[Medical marijuana]]); however many scientists contest this, and state that there are numerous federally approved medicines for the diseases that medicinal marijuana can be used to treat.<br /> <br /> ==Medicinal Harms==<br /> Marijuana contains many of the same carcinogens as tobacco, thus when smoked it has the same harmful effects including potential damage to DNA, [[cancer]], respiratory diseases associated with smoke inhalation, and impaired immune system.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090615095940.htm Science Daily 6/9/2009]&lt;/ref&gt; However, these effects have not been linked directly to alternate methods of marijuana use. Marijuana use can impair short term memory while intoxicated. THC has slight negative affects on long term memory and thus, in chronic users (approximately 1g/24Hrs),&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.askmen.com/sports/health/20_mens_health.html AskMen: Benefits of Marijuana]&lt;/ref&gt; complications with long term memory are a risk. If smoked, marijuana leads to a temporary increase in heart rate and blood pressure while intoxicated. For this reason, there is a slight increase in the risk for heart related problems including heart attack during the time of intoxication.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.askmen.com/sports/health/20_mens_health.html AskMen: Benefits of Marijuana]&lt;/ref&gt; Chronic smokers often suffer from mild withdrawal symptoms, however marijuana is not physically addictive.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-teenage-mind/201012/is-marijuana-addictive Psychology Today: Is Marijuana Addictive?]&lt;/ref&gt; Marijuana can impair judgment, motor skills, and balance.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.acde.org/common/Marijana.htm]&lt;/ref&gt; Marijuana has also been linked to impaired learning and developmental diability in unborn children.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.nature.com/npp/journal/v31/n10/full/1301068a.html Neuropsycopharmacology: High-Potency Marijuana Impairs Executive Function and Inhibitory Motor Control]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Medicinal Benefits==<br /> Pot-promoters claim that the active ingredient in marijuana, [[Tetrahydrocannabinol|THC]], has been shown (in disputed studies) to produce some short-term psychological and medicinal benefits, which are probably more than offset by the medical harm. For example, Harvard University conducted a study on the effect of Δ-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol on certain lung cancers, concluding that THC might help reduce a lung cancer tumor size by as much as half.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070417193338.htm Science Daily 4/7/2007]&lt;/ref&gt; In addition to a significant reduction in tumor size, there was a reduction in lesions on the lungs by 60%, and a reduction in protein markers associated with the progression of cancer.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070417193338.htm Science Daily 4/17/2007]&lt;/ref&gt; But even if true, those results are only in cases of very ill people, who have nothing to lose with respect to the long-term harm caused by marijuana.<br /> <br /> In addition to the positive effect on cancer treatment symptoms and cancer itself, marijuana is used to try to help patients afflicted with [[amyotrophic lateral sclerosis|ALS]].&lt;ref&gt;[http://ajh.sagepub.com/content/18/4/264.short American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Marijuana is an [[antispasmodic]] and is used in the treatment of seizures.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=9586&amp;page=106 National Academies Press: Marijuana and muscle spasticity]&lt;/ref&gt; Marijuana is also used in the treatment of migraines, arthritis,&lt;ref&gt;[http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/art.1780090304/abstract Online Library: Treatment of adjuvant arthritis in rats with anti-inflammatory drugs]&lt;/ref&gt; depression, &lt;ref&gt;[http://www.interestingfacts.org/fact/facts-about-marijuana Interesting Facts: Facts about marijuana]&lt;/ref&gt; and glaucoma.

However, with pressure from [[liberal]] advocates of marijuana, more otherwise accredited institutions are conducting research on the drug.<br /> <br /> ==Interesting Facts==<br /> *Carl Sagan used recreational marijuana to help &quot;open his mind&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[http://boingboing.net/2009/10/07/carl-sagan-spaced-ou.html Boing Boing: Carl Sagan Spaced Out]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Cannabis was first cultivated in China around 4000 B.C.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.interestingfacts.org/fact/facts-about-marijuana Interesting Facts: Facts about marijuana]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *U.S. Declaration of Independence was not written on hemp paper, despite popular belief by liberals.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.usconstitution.net/constfaq_q145.html Constitutional FAQ Answer #145 - U.S. Constitution Online]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *George Washington grew marijuana.&lt;ref&gt;[http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/thepresidentandcabinet/a/gwtheman.htm The President and the Cabinet: George Washington the Man]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *Alcohol is over 100 times more lethal than marijuana (ratio of lethal dose to effective dose).&lt;ref&gt;[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrocannabinol Wikipedia: Tetrahydrocannabinol]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *President Obama has admitted to use of marijuana. Former President Clinton has also admitted to smoking marijuana, but claims that he 'did not inhale'. Former President George W Bush privately admitted to smoking marijuana, but stated he wouldn't state it publicly &quot;'Cause I don't want some little kid doing what I tried.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Legal Status==<br /> Marijuana is a [[Schedule I]] [[Controlled Substance]] in the United States of America, meaning that it is illegal under federal law of the United States, and considered to have no redeemable medical value. According to the FBI, in 2012, there were 658,000 arrests for marijuana possession compared with 256,000 for cocaine, heroin and their derivatives.&lt;ref name=nyt&gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/07/27/opinion/sunday/high-time-marijuana-legalization.html?_r=0|title=Repeal Prohibition, Again|work=New York Times|date=July 26, 2014|accessdate=July 27, 2014}}&lt;/ref&gt; In several countries, particularly in [[Western Europe]], it is has been decriminalised. However, in many other countries, particularly those in the Middle East and Asia, possession of even small amounts of cannabis can be punishable by death. In 2012, the states of [[Washington]] and [[Colorado]] adopted voter referenda to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. At the same time, [[Oregon]] voters rejected a similar proposition. Federal officials said that they would contest state laws that would legalize marijuana.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/08/us-usa-marijuana-votes-idUSBRE8A705E20121108|title=Marijuana legalization victories could be short-lived|first=Alex|last=Dobuzinskis|date=Nov 7, 2012|accessdate=November 8, 2012}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The [[Netherlands]] decriminalized the use of marijuana in 1976. As a result, marijuana use among the 18-25 age group doubled, however, despite its availability, marijuana use in the Netherlands is lower than the European average. The Netherlands also saw an influx of &quot;drug tourists&quot; and other undesirables, as well as an increase in crime. This has since levelled out, leaving the Netherlands with one of the lowest crime rates in Europe.<br /> <br /> Many liberals have advocated for decriminalization.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.leap.cc Law Enforcement Against Prohibition]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;http://www.lp.org/issues/lp-oss.shtml&lt;/ref&gt; On July 26, 2014, the ''New York Times'' published an editorial calling for removing federal controls over marijuana for people 21 and older, leaving the question to individual states.&lt;ref name=nyt/&gt;<br /> <br /> Many [[American]] [[conservative]]s, especially social conservatives, oppose legalization of marijuana in any form due to its perceived harmful medical and psychological effects and its likelihood of harm to third parties due to drug-related crime and reckless driving. A few libertarian-leaning conservatives, most notably [[Ron Paul]], [[William F. Buckley]], and [[Larry Elder]], have advocated the decriminalization of this drug. Some [[liberal]]s support legalization, but most instead advocate for drug treatment and rehabilitation. [[Libertarian]]s are usually the biggest supporters of marijuana legalization. [[Gary Johnson]], a former Republican and 2012 Libertarian Party Presidential candidate for President, is the highest ranking US politician to advocate for marijuana legalization. He was a two-term Governor of [[New Mexico]].<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Drugs]]<br /> [[Category:Illegal substances]]<br /> [[Category:Illegal Drugs]]</div>

<p>TrappedinSF: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Selective outrage''' is when [[Mainstream media|the media]] or a group of people becomes completely hysterical over what one person or group of people says or does (usually [[Conservatives]]), but ignores and/or [[Censorship|censors]] when others (Non-Conservatives) say or do similar or worse things.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Examples ==<br /> === [[War]] ===<br /> * When [[George W. Bush]] was in office, DC was crowded with anti-war protesters from the left. When [[Barack Hussein Obama]] took over, they suddenly disappeared, [[Hypocrisy|unlike the wars they were protesting]].<br /> === [[Gay]] and [[Transgender]] Issues ===<br /> * When asked, Carrie Prejean, first runner-up for Miss California 2008, said she believed marriage was between a man and a woman; liberals viciously and profanely slandered her. At the same time, when asked, [[Barack Hussein Obama|Barack Obama]] and [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] also said they believed marriage was only between a man and a woman, and [[Democrats]] still loved them unconditionally.<br /> * After the passage of [[Proposition 8]], the constitutional amendment banning [[Same-sex marriage|same-sex marriage]] in [[California]], protesters only vandalized the mostly-white churches that supported it, most notably [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints]], also known as the Mormons, even though the majority of African-American and Hispanic voters in California voted for it as well.<br /> * Numerous liberal musicians and companies are boycotting the state of [[North Carolina]] over HB2, the law that requires one to use the restroom based off the sex on their birth certificate, and states that enact [[Religious freedom|religious freedom]] laws, but still perform or do business in foreign countries like [[Russia]] or [[Dubai]] where LGBT people are jailed and even killed.<br /> * Liberals are [[Liberal whining|constantly whining]] and trying to smear [[Christians]] as intolerant [[Bigotry|bigots]] when [[Radical Islam|radical Muslims]] are the ones who behead, shoot, bomb, burn, and toss gay people off of buildings, and they either completely turn a blind eye or go straight to blaming the &quot;[[Conservative Christians|Christian Right]]&quot; and responsible, [[Nonviolence|nonviolent]] gun owners.<br /> === [[Life]] Issues ===<br /> * Liberals scream bloody murder over the deaths of Cecil the Lion or Harambe the Gorilla, but applaud [[Planned Parenthood]] brutally murdering unborn babies and selling their organs.<br /> === [[Socialism]] ===<br /> * [[Bernie Sanders]] supporters are always complaining about how evil [[Capitalism]] is and how fair and equal Socialism is, but are blind to see how Socialism is a &quot;too good to be true&quot; system that has drawbacks way worse that its potential benefits, and has failed miserably every time it has been attempted in history, most notably in [[Venezuela]] today.<br /> === [[Donald Trump]] Protests ===<br /> * Violence against Trump protesters is considered one of the worst things in the world, but when protesters commit acts of violence against Trump supporters, they either blame Donald Trump himself, say that they (his supporters) &quot;deserve it&quot;, or [[Liberal denial|deny that such violence is happening altogether]].<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [[Liberal bias]]<br /> * [[Liberal logic]]<br /> * [[Liberal denial]]<br /> * [[Liberal whining]]<br /> * [[Hypocrisy]]<br /> * [[Censorship]]<br /> * [[Double standards]]<br /> <br /> {{Liberalism}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Liberalism]]<br /> [[Category:Liberal Traits]]<br /> [[Category:Logical Fallacies]]<br /> [[Category:Homosexual Agenda]]<br /> [[Category:Censorship]]</div>

He is a former Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives, having been first elected in 1984. He switched to Republican affiliation in 1989. The next year, he was elected Texas Agriculture Commissioner, having narrowly unseated the two-term populist Democrat Jim Hightower, a vocal supporter of [[Jesse Jackson]] in Texas. Perry won his first full term as governor in 2002, when he defeated the wealthy Laredo businessman A. R. &quot;Tony&quot; Sanchez by a three-to-two margin. He was reelected to another full term in 2006 with only 39 percent of the vote because the other 61 percent of the ballots was split among four rival general election candidates, including a former Repubican state comptroller, Carole Strayhorn of [[Austin, Texas|Austin]], who ran as an independent. <br /> <br /> Perry's brother-in-law, the brother of [[Anita Thigpen Perry]], is Joseph E. Thigpen (born ca. 1946), a former district attorney and county attorney in West Texas. In 1994, Perry, reelected as the agriculture commissioner, asked incoming Republican Governor [[George W. Bush]] to name Joseph Thigpen to a vacancy on the state appeals court in Eastland County, Texas. Acting on a check into Thigpen's record by political advisor [[Karl Rove]], Bush declined to appoint Thigpen to the bench. As a county attorney, Thigpen had been criticized for not being available when the commissioner's court needed his counsel. In 1998, Rick Perry became lieutenant governor in the second George W.

He also asked that legislators to pass more conservative bills, especially restricting freedom of movement for radical homosexual activists, in order to prevent harm to young people from their vile liberal propaganda.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.star-telegram.com/state_news/story/138969.html here&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> The vetoed House Bill 2006 would have added protections to property owners facing eminent domain proceedings.<br /> <br /> In 2009, Perry drew fire for numerous statements that suggested Texas' legal right to secede from the union if it wanted to.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.statesman.com/news/content/region/legislature/stories/04/17/0417gop.html &quot;Governor says Texas is one state that could leave union, though he's not pushing it&quot;]&lt;/ref&gt; While such statements were viewed with favor by the Texas Republican Party and helped him win the 2010 gubernatorial election, they were supposed to haunt his 2012 election prospects.<br /> <br /> Perry's prayer rally scheduled for August 5, 2011 was strongly attacked by the left as a violation of the so-called &quot;separation of church and state,&quot; which is actually a liberal misreading of the [[United States Constitution]].&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/06/opinion/how-to-respond-to-rick-perrys-response.html?src=un&amp;feedurl=http%3A%2F%2Fjson8.nytimes.com%2Fpages%2Fopinion%2Findex.jsonp &quot;How to respond to Rick Perry's 'Response'&quot;]&lt;/ref&gt; According to investigative reports by the ''Houston Chronicle'', Perry's tithing and charitable giving combined make up a paltry 0.5 percent, or $750 of annual gubernatorial compensation of $150,000 annually, excluding his generous housing allowance.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/life/religion/new/7607414.html &quot;Perry puts faith on display but offers little for collection plate&quot;]&lt;/ref&gt;His office's response to the report is that &quot;he refuses to talk about his faith.&quot;<br /> <br /> == Political positions ==<br /> His key positions include rejection of the theory of man-made [[global warming]], equal time for [[creationism]] and [[evolution]] in schools, pro-[[Second Amendment]], skepticism about the sustainability and constitutionality of [[Social Security]], and [[pro-life]] with exceptions, although he ended up opposing exceptions for rape and incest.

<p>TrappedinSF: typo</p> <hr /> <div>'''Selective outrage''' is when [[Mainstream media|the media]] or a group of people becomes completely hysterical over what one person or group of people says or does (usually [[Conservatives]]), but ignores and/or [[Censorship|censors]] when others (Non-Conservatives) say or do similar or worse things.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Examples ==<br /> === [[Gay]] and [[Transgender]] Issues ===<br /> * When asked, Carrie Prejean, first runner-up for Miss California 2008, said she believed marriage was between a man and a woman; liberals viciously and profanely slandered her.
