The way I interpreted it he was trying to make a point that issuing ID cards to fight illegal immigration would mean that all citizens would also have to carry cards, or something, but then somehow this fence thing came out at the end. Is there a transcript somewhere?
Here's some other Wikipedia articles that might be useful.

I agree this is something we should be placing greater emphasis on. We probably have to "convert" several people for every one that will actually make it to the primaries to vote. Young people in particular may have never voted before and won't be familiar with the process of registering and...
OK, but I didn't claim that. I was describing why atheists would typically not be worried by the issue you described. I should have said "most atheists" as there are obviously going to be some exceptions such as yourself.
Yes, I knew someone would post something like that. I'm pretty sure about 99% of pro-lifers are not in that category though.
An atheist would perceive human identity as nothing more than the collection of thoughts that compromise the conscious mind. A fetus would just be considered a mass of...

Being pro-life is a belief that one is acting under a...
Something that might be worth keeping in mind on such topics is that about half the states have open or semi-open primaries, meaning that anyone who is registered can just walk in on election day and vote for whoever they want. No need to change party affiliation. A full list can be found here...
The cheerleader part is important. Something like that really sticks in a person's mind. I guarantee that is the one part everyone person who reads the page will remember. It is relevant because it illustrates that the macho cowboy image he so vigorously promotes is largely stagecraft.

If we could flesh out the Wikipedia Tea Party articles with some info on early Tea Party events that would be a big help to correct the misinformation. I'm not much of an expert on editing Wikipedia but the first step I think would be to compile a list of referenced links to articles on pre-2009...
I left a thumbs up on this comment which pretty well explains why this is not the way to go about things:
"Man, that was the wrong way to do it. You just pissed off a bunch of potential swing votes for the primary. What you should have done was walked quietly through the crowd with your signs...
Maybe you already are. In my opinion the avalanche has already started. Whether Paul wins or loses this election an unstoppable phase change is underway that will continue on for decades. :)
