In 2013, Paul Ryandeclared, Iwill debate anybody who tries to suggest that these ideas that are moving through Congress [the Gang of Eight plan] are amnesty. That pledge is still featured on hiswebsiteto this day.

Youve got to get a call into his office and tell him Ill debate him, Coulter told Howie Carr. Seriously, put in a call to his office. Well do it on your radio [show].

Coulter suggested she wouldnt have a hard time taking on Ryan.Did anybody else see his debate with Biden? sheasked.

Indeed, Paul Ryan became the subject of ridicule after his 2012 Vice Presidential debate with Joe Biden. AsThe Guardianwroteatthe time, Joe Bidens alpha-male display leaves Paul Ryan overwhelmed in VP debateOn more than one occasion, the Republican candidate visibly gulped.

Coulter suggested that Paul Ryans visible anxiety throughout his performance should disqualify him fromrunning for Speaker of the House. If youre losing a debate to Joe Biden, maybe you are not [the Republican Partys] best spokesman, shedeclared.

Coulter said that Ryan is not the only intellectual lightweight in the Republican Party. Sheargued that many Republican establishment pro-amnesty lawmakers are notparticularlyintelligent but have seen their careers propelled forward by media elites. Coulter cited Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as examples.

[Kevin McCarthy is] a complete abject moron. Have you heard him talk? And what Ive noticed about our guys is that we do have a lot of smart guys. They all happen to be the ones that dont want the Republican party to commit suicide by continuing our current immigration policies. I mean, its [smart] guys [like] Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA). We have some smart guys and theyre the ones that were opposing Kevin McCarthy for perfectly sound policy reasons. I hate this stuff about the shut down caucus, and the Freedom Caucus no, the issue is immigration. This is the litmus test And the smart ones are all on the anti-immigration side, the stupid onesbeing promoted by the media because thats their left wing, anti-American agendaare the stupid ones they can push around like Kevin McCarthy, like Marco Rubio If theyre dumb, theyre pro-amnesty, theyre beloved by the media, so they get pushed forward, Oh, theyre the Young Guns and look at these smart guys. Why, gosh were so afraid for Democrats. They want to tinker with social security, but theyll pass amnesty and then the entire country is finished.

Kevin McCarthy is massively pro-amnesty, Coulter declared. Hes another one, like Marco Rubio, who went to some bush-league college on a football scholarship. We have really smart guys in our caucus: how about Dave [Brat] for Republican House leadership, sheasked.

Brat, who rose to national prominence after defeating former Majority Leader Eric Cantor, got his B.A. in Business, his Masters Degree in Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, and his Ph.D in economics from American University. He served as an economic consultant for the World Bank and was a professor of economics for 18 years.

Paul Ryan got a degree in economics and political science from Miami University in Ohio before immediately beginning his lifelong career in politics.

All of these young conservatives have been so promoted by the media, Coulter said. Kevin McCarthy, Eric Cantor, Paul RyanOh, the Young Guns. Theyre ridiculous. Theyre all pro-amnesty, theyre pro-mass immigration, and their big claim to fame is, Oh, were going to tinker around with some entitlement programs. Oh yeah, thats the road to victories, Republicans [Mickey Kauss] idea was, could someone introduce Paul Ryan to Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC)?.

Coulter continued to highlight the similarities between Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio. Carr cited a 2013piecefrom theNational Reviewwhich read, Ryan was a protg of strategist Cesar Conda Ryans ties to the pro-immigration mafia ran deep.'

Coulter told Carr that Rubio relies on the same pro-amnesty strategists as well. And now [Condas] ruining Marco Rubios career, shesaid. Conda was Rubiosformer Senate chief of staffand now serves as an adviser to Rubio. Mimicking an imagined exchange of Conda advising Rubio, Coulter continued, Oh, amnesty, the voters will love you, [Rubio]. Youll have this great op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.'

Whit Ayres, a master strategist of the plan to disenfranchise Republicanvoters through immigration, has been effusive about both politicians ability to deliver for donors.Ayres isRubios top presidential campaign pollster. He has made a living, in part, by demanding that the Republican Partypass large-scale immigration expansion bills favoredby Republican donorssuch asthe Gang of Eight billor, as TheWashington Postwrites,Ayreshasurg[ed] the GOP to adapt to the countrys rapidly changing demographics or risk irrelevancy within a few political cycles.Ayres also speaks highly of Paul Ryan,describinghim as one of the most effective messengers the Republican party has in the House If Paul Ryan talks, the House Republicans will listen.

The U.S. foreign-born population is currently at a record high of 42 million people.The Ayres-Rubio-Ryan strategy of increasing immigration at a time of record highs is aradicalbreak from past U.S. immigration policy.After the foreign-born share of population reached its last peak during the early part of the 20thcentury, immigration was reduced for nearly five straight decades to successfully assimilate past arrivals and grow wages.

Those immigration curbs were reversed, however, in 1965 because of a Sen. Ted Kennedy-supported immigration law whichlifted those immigration caps and opened immigration to predominantly poor and developing countries.AsBreitbart Newshas previouslyreported,between 1965 and 2015, immigration added new residents to the population at a one-to-one ratio withnet births to the preexisting population.But a recent study by Pew projects that unless our currentimmigration policy is changed, between 2015and 2065, immigration will outpace net U.S. births ata ratio of seven-to-one.

Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan would like the number of immigrants admitted to be even greater.Rubios immigration billwould have imported 7 times more green cards in the first decade of its implementation than did Ted Kennedys immigration bill in its first decade.

Ann Coulter's acceptance of Paul Ryans Challenge

She came, she saw, she Coultered.

Conservative author and firebrand Ann Coulter was in town Monday to speak on "America Under Obama: How to Recover and Save Our Country" at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Coulter told a mostly friendly crowd at Roland Hayes Concert Hall that "anchor babies" aren't protected by the Constitution, that Mexican immigrants who are already here don't want their wages driven down by more coming in, and that what Coulter called "mass illegal immigration" is backed by billionaire George Soros and others who believe that "America's a bad country and deserves to be humbled."

During the question-and-answer segment of the talk, Coulter took one young woman to task who said, "You really need to stop attacking college students."

"C'mon, grow a pair, babycakes," Coulter responded.

The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1868 to protect the rights of newly freed slaves, Coulter said, not so that babies born here to undocumented mothers could become citizens.

"It's not about illegals running across the border, dropping an anchor baby and saying, 'Haha, you didn't catch me,'" Coulter said.

She told the crowd, "We have our own poor people. We don't need to be bringing in more of them."

Pre-1970s, the United States screened immigrants better, and they wound up making more money and being better-educated than the average American, Coulter said.

We want immigrants who are "better than us, not the same as us and definitely not worse than us," she said. "A country has a right to choose its own citizens in the same way you can't force your way onto the New England Patriots."

UTC freshman Blake Kitterman, president of the Bradley County Young Democrats, said he didn't agree with Coulter's message, but "I think it's important that we hear people of all [opinions]."

Coulter praised Republic presidential contender Donald Trump during a question-and-answer session with the media. When Trump threw his hat into the ring, he said that "when Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some I assume are good people."

Trump has led the polls since entering the race, and Coulter thinks he can win the nomination.

"He's saying what all kinds of Americans have been begging their leaders to say," she said.

Coulter was invited to speak by the Scott L. Probasco Jr. Chair of Free Enterprises as part of the 2015 Burkett Miller Distinguished Lecture Series. A 15-minute response to Coulter's 45-minute talk was given by Michelle D. Deardorff, the head of UTC's political science department.

Among those who came to cheer on Coulter was Hamilton County District 7 Commissioner Sabrena Smedley, who represents East Brainerd.

"I always appreciate a candid speaker," said Smedley, who had Coulter sign her latest book, "Adios, America: The Left's Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole."

Ann Coulter tells Chattanooga student to 'grow a pair ...

The head of a top Indian-American advocacy group on Wednesday condemned Ann Coulters comments that South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley doesnt understand America because shes an immigrant with roots in India.

Its a demographic death march that the Republican Party is on. This is a country of immigrants, said Sanjay Puri, chairman and founder of the U.S.-India Political Action Committee.

Story Continued Below

Puri noted that not only was Haley born in America to immigrant parents, but Coulters ancestors were likely also immigrants to the United States. He said that the comments are offensive for presuming that immigrants dont understand American history.

On Tuesday, Coulter appeared on the Fox Business Network and condemned Haley for calling for the Confederate battle flag to be taken down from outside the State Capitol. I would really like to like Nikki Haley since she is a Republican, Coulter said, but added that the South Carolina governor is an immigrant and does not understand Americas history.

Haley was, in fact, born in South Carolina in 1972. Her parents immigrated to the U.S. from the Indian state of Punjab.

Coulters comments were a sharp departure from the views of fellow Republicans such as Scott Walker, Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Donald Trump, all of whom have agreed with the governor that its time for the flag to come down.

She emphasized that, though she is from Connecticut, she believes the flag is an important part of Southern history.

The Confederate flag were talking about never flew over an official Confederate building, Coulter said. It was a battle flag. It is to honor Robert E. Lee. And anyone who knows the first thing about military history knows that there is no greater army that ever took the field than the Confederate Army.

Coulter said the fact that Dylann Roof, the alleged killer of nine African Americans in last weeks attack in South Carolina, showcased the flag in photos is irrelevant. The shooting, she said, had nothing to do with the Confederate flag. He was also wearing a Golds Gym T-shirt.

The conservative pundit appeared on the show to promote her new book Adios, America: The Lefts Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole, which was published June 1.

Indian-American group condemns Ann Coulter's swipe at ...

Ann Coulter said in an interview set to air Tuesday night that immigrants to the United States are to be feared more than the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIS.

Appearing on the TV network Fusion, Coulter told host Jorge Ramos, If you dont want to be killed by ISIS, dont go to Syria. If you dont want to be killed by a Mexican, theres nothing I can tell you.

Story Continued Below

When asked whether she thinks Latino immigrants are biologically predisposed to crime, the conservative writer and activist said, I think there are cultures that are obviously deficient. And if they werent deficient, you wouldnt be sitting in America interviewing me Id be sitting in Mexico.

You fled that culture because there are a lot of problems with that culture, Coulter told Ramos. We can share our culture with other nations without bringing all of their people here. When you bring the people here, you bring those cultures here. That includes honor killings, it includes uncles raping their nieces, it includes dumping litter all over, it includes not paying your taxes, it includes paying bribes to government officials. That isnt our culture.

America is the best in the world, and were about to lose it, said Coulter. She appeared on the show to promote her new book Adios, America! The Lefts Plan to Turn Our Country Into a Third World Hellhole.

No country has ever had the sort of respect for women that Anglo-America has had, and that is going out the door, Coulter added.

Ramos did not respond directly to Coulters comments in the video clips available online.

Later in the broadcast, during a question-and-answer session, an undocumented immigrant who has lived in the United States asked Coulter for a hug, as a sign of my humanity and yours.

At first Coulter turned her down because she said she was getting over the flu, but then when the questioner said she didnt mind, the conservative writer again turned her down and asked her to get on with the question.

The comments were first reported by TV Newser.

Ann Coulter: Immigrants are worse than ISIL - POLITICO

During the course of the second Republican presidential debate, Ann Coulter, the well-known commentator, writer, speaker and provocateur, tweeted:

How many fing Jews do these people think there are in the United States?

Her explanation was that she had grown frustrated with the candidates remarks that concentrated on things nearly all Republicans agree on admiration of Ronald Reagan, opposition to abortion and support for Israel and ignored what she considers the biggest domestic problem facing America: immigration, both legal (under current law) and illegal. She regarded the candidates remarks as pandering to various Republican constituencies and tweeted out a series of critical and angry comments, including the one about Jews, in response to repeated pledges to support Israel.

She was rightly condemned by Republicans and Democrats alike for the tweet. How could she not be? It was indefensible. And it did damage to Republicans, conservatives and supporters of Israel.

But that should not be the end of the discussion.

The tweet raises a number of important questions. These include whether Ann Coulter is an anti-Semite, who we should label an anti-Semite and who the enemies of Jews are in America today.

The first is the easiest. Ann Coulter is not an anti-Semite. Those Jews who think she is point to two pieces of evidence: the recent tweet and something she said in a 2007 interview with Donny Deutsch, a TV personality who happens to be Jewish.

In that interview, she said that America (and presumably the world) would be better if everybody were a Christian. Deutsch asked if that meant all Jews should become Christian. Coulter said yes and Deutsch was offended. He was further offended when she labeled Christians, including herself, and Jews who became Christians perfected Jews.

Against this is a lifetime of defending Jews and Israel. Every mention of Jews or Israel Ive read in any of her books is a spirited defense of Jews and Israel, or an attack on those who attack Jews and Israel. I should add, for what its worth, she has been to my home twice for Shabbat dinner. Indeed, she has said that experiencing Shabbat and reading the explanation for it in my book, The Ten Commandments: Still the Best Moral Code, have moved her to start observing a Sabbath. I guess you can say she might become a perfected Christian.

Her remarks to Deutsch were hardly anti-Semitic.

First, both common sense and Judaism demand that we judge people by their behavior, not by their religious beliefs. Believing that the world would be better if everyone were a Christian hardly renders one a bigot, let alone a Jew hater. Everyone who holds a doctrine believes the world be better if everyone embraced their doctrine. Dont secular liberals believe that the world would be better if everyone were a secular liberal?

Second, if theological beliefs render one a hater, most religious Jews would have to be considered haters. That would include all those Orthodox Jews who consider Christianity idol worship and therefore wont enter a church. And it would include all Jews who believe, as I do, that the Jews are the chosen people.

We need to be very careful before labeling people anti-Semites. This is especially so with regard to Christians who believe that the only way to salvation is through belief in Christ. The fact is that the Jews and Israels best friends in America are largely those evangelical Christians who believe that only faith in Jesus saves.

I have worked with evangelical Christians for 20 years, regularly speak at their conventions and churches, and can attest to the sincerity of their support for Jews - its all the more remarkable given how much contempt many Jews heap on them.

And no, they dont support Israel in order to hasten the apocalypse and the Second Coming. People who dislike the Christian right have simply made that up in order to discredit their support. There is nothing in the New Testament that suggests this. Evangelical leaders such as Pastor John Hagee, the founder of Christians United for Israel, have said repeatedly that the timing of the New Testament prediction of Armageddon is solely in Gods hands. It is impossible for Christians to do anything to hasten the return of Jesus.

Evangelicals support Israel primarily because they believe Gods promise to Abraham in Genesis that He will bless those who bless the Jews and curse those who curse the Jews. They also believe that Israel is the morally superior side in the Middle East conflict.

I might add, however, that even if the reason evangelicals supported the Jews and Israel were to hasten the Second Coming so what? If tens of millions of Christians will support Jews until Jesus returns, isnt that a good thing?

In addition, epithets are not always a good indicator of who our enemies are. Harry Truman wrote home when he visited New York City that he was in kike town and wrote very disparaging things about the Jews in his diary. Yet, as president, he became the man who had America recognize the newly formed state of Israel within minutes of its declaration of independence against the advice of his entire State Department.

Likewise, when Hillary Clinton was accused of calling a campaign aide a fing Jew bastard an account attested to by three witnesses I wrote a column for The Wall Street Journal defending her against the charge of anti-Semitism. There was simply nothing in her behavior to suggest that she is an anti-Semite.

We are very right to be worried about hatred of Jews and Israel. But Israel hatred and anti-Zionism todays expressions of anti-Semitism arent coming from Ann Coulter or her side of the political spectrum. They are almost always to be found on the left in America and everywhere else outside the Muslim world. Our universities, for example, are the center of Israel hatred in America.

Thoughtful Jews on the left should be experiencing cognitive dissonance these days. The institutions they most revere the universities are the most anti-Israel institutions in America, and the groups they most fear conservatives and Christians are Israels and the Jews best friends.

Ann Coulter aimed her famously provocative rhetorical gun at her intended target the GOP candidates and instead hit an innocent bystander, Americas Jews. When you harm someone, even accidentally, you owe an apology. Her tweet hurt her, her cause and the Republican Party as well as Jews, and she should say shes sorry. But she is not an anti-Semite.

Jews shouldnt accuse people of this when it isnt true whether it is Ann Coulter or Hillary Clinton.
