How many Republicans would admit to supporting "tiered" citizenship
Edited on Thu Aug-19-10 08:51 AM by Godhumor
Easiest way I can think of to really bring out the crazy within Republican circles is to start asking candidates at campaign events or on TV about the following possibility:

"Would you support tiering citizenship benefits based on the background of the person being considered (i.e. there are different classes of citizen who have more or less rights than each other)?"

My guess is that being put on the spot would really reveal how many Republicans don't want Muslims, children of undocumented aliens, GLBT people, etc. to be considered "real" citizens of the US versus those who are strictly pandering to the extreme loony wing of the republican party.

Make them support their increasingly vile rhetoric--let's find out how many actually want a new fangled caste system.

edit: And of course the follow-up would be to ask them to define the tiers--who would be at the top and who wouldn't be.

1. That was part of the implementation post 9/11
After the large increase of homeland defense department, they also created fusion centers and where people in private sector where given cards, so that if something happens, as they said, their calls would go through to the money system.

It is the roman model of citizens and slaves. It is not a coincidence, it is people trying to recreate that model.
