Chris Christie not my pic for President

Many Conservatives fawn over the mention of Gov. Chris Christie's name, but what does anyone really know about him.  He is definitely one of the most fiscally conservative people to hold the title of Governor of New Jersey.  We love his strong stance against the teachers unions, but there's more to being a conservative or a libertarian than fiscal policy.  Two issues that Christie is decidedly on the left of the isle are Illegal Immigration and Gun Control.  Believe me those are two stances that won't win him many votes in the south.  Like most southerners, I enjoy shooting at old washing machines and generally anything that moves within the confines of the law of course. However, even though many people say that the Second Amendment protects our right to hunt, that is false.  There is no right to hunt.  The Second Amendment is all about our right to defend ourselves from an intrusive federal government.  Of course whenever a conservative says this the leftists start painting him as a radical anarchist, or a conspiracy nut.  Think about it though.  Our founding fathers fought a war against the government and carefully crafted a limited federal government, but they reserved a right to the people to keep and bear arms.  Why, because they realized it was the only way to keep the government honest. (well maybe not honest, but at least not tyrannical). Christie supported the Clinton assault weapons ban of the 90's. Also when asked by Sean Hannity if he would support legislation allowing every citizen of his state to own a licenced firearm he  said:  "[I] want to make sure that we don't have an abundance of guns out there"  Personally I think if it's a right we shouldn't need a licence to exercise that right. Hunting not a right- license; Driving, not a right- license; Life right- no license.

Christie is also in favor of illegal immigration.  In April of 08 Christie told a group forum sponsored by the Latino Leadership council of New Jersey, "Being in this country without proper documentation  is not a crime." Excuse me! Breaking the law is not a crime? He went on to say, "The whole phrase of 'Illegal Immmigrant' connotes that the person, by just being here, is committing a crime."  Yes, Governor that's exactly what it connotes.  When a person comes here illegally they are breaking the law simply by being here.   Christie may be a fiscal conservative, but he is dangerously liberal when it comes to the security of this nation.  Lets hope he stays in New Jersey.
