Is anyone else watching this filibuster? Rand Paul is a Rock Star. He is filibustering the nomination of Brennan as the Head of the CIA. He knows and has said that Brennan will probably get nominated and he will lose this fight, but he is standing up and fighting against the administrations anti-constitutional position of using drones to kill Americans on US soil without a judge, or jury. This, almost simultaneously, is released with the list of "right-wing" anti-government groups growing out of the patriot movement, according to the Southern Poverty Law center (a subsidiary of Soros against America, LLC). So, it doesn't take a huge leap of the imagination to see where this could go. Now, maybe you don't think our government would ever do such a thing. Maybe you think that anyone who would think of such things should be dismissed and marginalized as so many do. Well, if that is how you feel, that is fine. You can continue to sheep....ehh..sleep. I doubt too many people on here actually think this, but who knows what is read by whom. Anyway, do you trust all future Presidents not to use this precedent to take out those who don't agree with him or her? I don't, regardless of party.
Anyway, whether you like Rand Paul or not, you have to admire his strength of Character. All he is asking is for the President or the Attorney General to say that they will not use drones to kill US citizens on US soil. They wont do it. They do not think that enemies of the state (see partial list made by SPLC above, or reference the Homeland Security list that came out about a year ago including gun owners, veterans, libertarians, gardeners, people who store food or pay in cash etc... Basically most of us) deserve due process. At some point the people who think this is conspiracy theory are the ones who really look stupid.
Dang. Got on a rant. I just want to say that I applaud Mr. Paul for his efforts. I also applaud those senators who have supported him by asking questions long enough for Mr. Paul to take a restroom break and so forth. Why isn't Deb Fischer there doing the same? I am disappointed. I am not surprised that Johanns is nowhere to be seen, but hoped Fischer would stand up for Liberty.
These are just my opinions and thoughts. "That's all I got to say about that"
