Why Rand Paul´s Filibuster Matters
Rolling Stone, by John Knefel

Original Article

Posted By:tisHimself, 3/10/2013 10:53:39 PM

Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) held the Senate floor for 12 straight hours this week, from Wednesday afternoon to Thursday morning, in an attempt to block the nomination of John Brennan to lead the CIA. But the junior senator from Kentucky had a much deeper purpose – namely, seeking an answer to what he saw as a fairly straight-forward question: Can the president order the extra-judicial killing of a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil in a non-battlefield context? Though the filibuster is over, the Obama administration still has yet to clearly and directly answer that question.

You´ve got to love the Rolling Stone. Four years of Obama´s indiscretions and still Bush gets attacked. Unbelieveable!

Rand Paul has earned this respect.
God bless him, protect and guide him...

You´re not going to get clarification for Obama or Holder on domestic drone strikes because they don´t want to alarm people that their own government could attack them simply because they have different political beliefs.

Despite what the lame streamers claim,Obama is losing in the court of public opinion.The only reason he´s still alive politically is because you have an incredibly stupid electorate who can´t connect the dots between Obama´s failed policies and the country going down the tubes.

Man on the street interviews continue to prove how stupid and uninformed voters are on the simplest of questions. Many don´t even know who the VP is.I remember a middle aged woman who couldn´t identify who JFK was.

Here´s something else I bet. There´s millions of illiterate people in this country who can´t fill out absentee ballots so they´re getting pro-Obama relatives to fill them out for them.

Rand Paul stood up, defied "the old boys club" mentality, and did something to wake this country up to its duty to protect our liberties, rather than sit quietly while they are taken awa, one by oney.

In my book, anyone, and I mean ANYONE, I don´t care who it is, that attempts to sully Rand Paul´s courage or wisdom in staging that filibuster, is ANTI-American.

I think back to the George W Bush administration and all the hostility he received from the Libs/Dems, code pinkos and Cindy Sheehan for his "war crimes" and yet silence when it comes to this administration´s decision to use drones to kill Americans her in the USA.

The fact that the Administration even mentioned the use of drones this way tells me they are seriously thinking of using them - in spite of what Dr. Krauthammer and other say.

Obama is setting this country up for failure and having men like Rand Paul stand up for our freedoms is not going to sit well with the ruling class. Obama has woven a web of lies and he can´t have anyone exposing them. He has been very successful in shutting down any opposition and uses tools like McCain and Graham to attack anyone who questions his policies. The fact that they went public with their opposition of Mr. Paul´s filibuster exposes their motives. Any criticism could have been made privately, but they deliberately went in front of the cameras for one reason and that was to undermine the message that was communicated by Rand Paul and the men who supported him on the floor. McCain and Graham have proved time and time again they will enthusiastically shove the knife in the back of any Republican who espouses conservative ideas.

With all the lawyers stinking up the joint, maybe what this country needs is a few ´scissor happy´ accountants. They at least understand budgets.

#3, I have maintained for a long time that not all of the lofo problem is not due to deliberate ignorance of the voters. It is due to decades of being deliberately lied to by the press in this country. Combine that with the school system that no longer lets you think independently, and you have a recipe for a crime against humanity.

Two observations. (1.)
Rand´s focus on muslim enabler John Brennan
is a brilliant action, and all who agree need to see the incredible Robert Spencer JIHAD WATCH interview with former FBI agent
John Guandolo. The infiltration of muslim influence in our governemtn is shockingly dangerous and completely overlooked, ignored by the Diane Sawyer mafia media TV traitors-to-the-truth. The betraying media is as dangerous as the covert activities of the stealth muslims in our government and media. And that´s the truth !
(2.) Rand´s artful filibuster reminds movie
nuts of the marvelous image Jimmie Stewart
portrayed in MR SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON, a
Leo Mc Carey classic film about that rare, honest young guy who is elected to go to Washington and makes a breathtaking speech.
Congratulations to Rand for just speaking up. We have over 500 Congress people just sitting there silently on their asses saying NOTHING because they are all so busy stealing, lobbying, corrupting with taxpayer´s fake Fed paper money, while it still has diminishing value. Go ! Rand!

Even frothing libs question this administration´s intentions. Anyone who has read Prairie Fire know where this is heading and it ain´t pretty.

-- Larry Grathwohl, former member of the Weather Underground

I asked, well, what´s going to happen to those people that we can´t re-educate; that are die-hard capitalists. And the reply was that they´d have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further, they estimated that they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these re-education centers. And when I say eliminate, I mean kill. 25 million people.

I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees from Columbia and other well known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people.

And they were dead serious."

Haven´t heard any of our analyzers yet bring up the following point...

Remember that the President is barred from assassinating foreign leaders?
Isn´t that still the policy?
Probably specifically prohibiting the CIA from carrying out assassinations, right?

If our CIA, overseas, cannot assassinate any foreign leader, no matter how hostile
and how belligerent, including actively fighting our nation...
then what is the distinction between that and this free-kill policy toward the
hapless underlings?

Can we now expect to drone-kill hostile politicos overseas?
Why not drone-kill people like, say, the late not-great Hugo Chavez back in the day?

We could manipulate internal politics in any location by having a drone-kill list
and popping the opposition figures.

What is the difference between this drone-killing stuff and any previous and current
policies on Gummint assassinations?

Just think #21 if one was to backtrack the information that slips out now and then the number of foreign person taken out via assassination drones would be very clear. The problem is the same old one of he who lives by any murder code also risks the same elimination.
Iran says they will photo -op the drone they claim to have when Obama visits the imaginary nation of Palestine in April.

Several posters here understand. Sending drones after Americans in a non-combat situation for purposes of counter-terrorism is only part of the story. The rest of the story is a gummint that worries about a massive uprising of Joe Average Citizen who is sick of having his liberty and wealth milked away from him each and every day by a conniving and all too powerful federal gummint. This is the very thing that our founding fathers foresaw and why the Constitution is written the way it is written.

Judging by what we´ve seen lately out of DC (and the sequester) these Marxist-American punks couldn´t kill 25 million ants, much less 25 million patriotic red-blooded Americans. Hell, just take a few dollars from a government stooge or cut his bennies and watch the person have an emotional breakdown. Big libs are soft. They have no idea who we are and when they get the slightest whiff of conservative anger they become terrified. Just look at how terrified they were of the senior citizens and housewives that comprised the TEA Party. Even the hardcore urban gangstas that want to be playas and act tough for the cameras felt as if they were being spat on when someone dared to yell at them on the Capitol steps.

When Ashley Judd announced on Wednesday that she had decided not to run for Mitch McConnell’s Senate seat in Kentucky, national Democrats quickly made clear that they remain serious about taking on the five-term lawmaker. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee launched a small anti-McConnell radio ad buy the next morning. But before the Senate minority leader can devote all of his attention to fending off whoever emerges from the Democratic primary in 2014, he may first have to contend with a GOP challenge from the right.

It’s bad enough that RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has decided to continue the relationship with failed Romney consultants Targeted Victory to send the RNC’s mass emails. What’s so harrowing is the cynicism and sloppiness Targeted Victory brings to the table to fulfill that contract. One would think that Targeted Victory, in fulfilling the RNC email contract, would take extreme care and would want to remove any taint of the Romney campaign from the RNC emails. (Targeted Victory invoiced the failed Romney campaign for over $17 million.) But one would be wrong in making that assumption.

It’s uncanny. Unless, of course, it isn’t. The sons of two famous politicians made their potential presidential stand at CPAC — each son having achieved elective office on his own. Yet somehow… in some strange, perhaps not so mysterious fashion… each son sounds… like… yes indeed: Dad 2.0. Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush sounds like ex-President Dad George H.W. Bush, not to mention ex-President Brother George W. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul takes the Senate floor for a champion filibuster, followed by a CPAC speech, sounding ever so more than slightly like former presidential candidate and now ex-Congressman Dad Ron Paul.

At the Conservative Political Action Conference last weekend, the nation’s largest annual gathering of conservatives, many speculated that the GOP might be veering in a more libertarian direction—or at least influential leaders within the party might be prodding it or might be anxious for it to go in that direction. The Daily Beast ran the headline “Libertarians run the show at CPAC.” In his CPAC speech, former presidential candidate Rick Santorum warned that conservatives should not surrender their principles, referring specifically to social issues. Some on both the left and right perceive libertarianism as inherently hostile to social conservatism.

America doesn’t really have a two-party system. It has a one-and-a-half-party system, where one party at a time tends to dominate the national agenda while the other becomes a half-party—one that might hold onto the House of Representatives and some state governments, but that isn’t trusted by voters to run the country. The Republicans are America’s half-party today. This is a reversal from a generation ago,

The air has been full of 10th-anniversary Iraq war retrospectives. One that caught my eye was a smart piece by Tom Curry, national affairs writer for NBC News, who wrote of one element of the story, the war´s impact on the Republican Party: "The conflict not only transformed" the GOP, "but all of American politics." It has, but it´s an unfinished transformation. Did the Iraq war hurt the GOP? Yes. The war, and the crash of ´08, half killed it. It´s still digging out, and whether it can succeed is an open question.

They just wouldn’t shut up, would they? Had to keep jamming their sermons down our throats: abortion, gay rights, marriage, religion. Religion? Oh, my God!

The harsh assessment of the RNC “autopsy” committee would be that it talked to 2,600 people, yet one of its top proposals is reviving a minority inclusion council from the 1990s. It takes months of research to come up with this stuff? But that would be too harsh. The autopsy is a good-faith effort to stare the Republican predicament straight in the face. It’s just that there are inherent limits to any such exercise. The party is not going to be saved by committee.

When was that watershed moment where advocacy of gay marriage crossed into the mainstream from the radical chic of the intellectual elite ? Gay marriage, quite apart from homosexuality per se, has only in recent years been embraced by more than just a few libertarian sophisticates. Ironically it wasn´t too long ago when the progressive darlings and the beautiful people believed, to the contrary, that marriage of any kind was oppressive, a form of institutional bondage.

To reverse the postmodern batting order, let’s begin with the good news. A true man of God. The wheelchair-bound beggar at the corner of Via della Conciliazione and Via dell’Erba this morning had a keen insight into his new bishop: “Sono molto contento; e una profeta” (“I’m very happy; he’s a prophet”).

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
