More on O’Malley’s New Americans

O’Malley has certainly made some waves with this one. Here are some other articles from around the web on the topic:
O’Malley’s New Americans
Oct 18th
If you’ve been listening to news coverage of Maryland’s Gubernatorial Campaign, you’ve no doubt heard all of the buzz surrounding O’Malley’s new title for illegal immigrants; he’s calling them “New Americans”. The following video captures the exchange between O’Malley and Bob Ehrlich on the subject:
So why not refer to illegal immigrants as “New Americans”?
The biggest problem with this new term is that it blurs the line between a legal American Citizen and an Illegal Immigrant.
United States President George Washington stated very clearly the importance of the name “American”. His farewell address in 1796 says: “Citizens, by birth or choice, of a More >

Why I Support the Second Amendment
Sep 21st
I support the second amendment because I took an oath to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution and the Maryland Constitution and all of their amendments.
The Declaration of Independence recognizes the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Without the right to Keep and Bear Arms, we the people would have no defense against a tyrannical government. Additionally, without the right to bear arms, we would not have the ability to protect ourselves, our lives, or our property as the Founders so clearly intended.
I have always campaigned with the Second Amendment as one of my core issues. I More >
