He voted against the extension. The one Obama signed, with an auto-pen. He was not in the Senate when the original act was signed.

Nice post. FISA was bullshit.

perfect!

What goons? As much I dislike the Pauls, they're not for any of that shit.

It's important to give credit where credit is due. And on the TSA and other oppressive shit, there's bi-partisan agreement that it's wrong.

I'm with you

Paul's:

Not responsible for hate filled news letter ☑
Not responsible for inspiring neo nazi like supporters ☑

Obama supporters stomp no women's neck ☑

Rand Paul supporters stomp a woman's neck ☑
Ron Paul not responsible for hate filled racist newsletter ☑
Obama supporters stomp no one ☑
Obama polling station "scary black security guard with a night stick" hurts no one, except one scared shitless white boy's feelings ☑

You may enjoy that. Most people don't.

Judging by the accent he must be from either Texas or Kentucky, so i am sure he votes for one of the Paul's.

Just returning the race bait by Radical_Centrist.

You're not alone. I didn't enjoy that at all, either.

Why return it?

So you object to a representative of the people making a stand on behalf of the people. Criminny, just how pathetic is that, ostracise a representative who has the courage to act upon not only his, but our convictions as well. . .
Good grief

Dude, you sound like you need to check in at
your nearest mental health clinic and just show
them (or tell them) exactly what you wrote here.
You're holding extremely VIOLENT thoughts,
and putting them into words is the first step
towards acting out violence. The next step is
direct action, though not necessarily to the
person you've name. Any innocent person
in your environment could be the recipient.
You are one SCARY dude.

Your eye for an eye comments don't do one
thing to further the cause of civil discourse
on this site and elevate the standards of
news commentary. You are one hate-filled
man who's the type to try to fool about your
penchant for violence by pretense. Your
comment is not a welcome addition to this
or any site.

Your hateful comments don't do one thing
to further the cause of peace or civil discourse
on this site. You're promoting violence in your
lingo, and you're uncool about the way that the
TSA needs to problem solve. You're the last
person who should be advising anyone on
civility.

2hellnwait -- I agree with you with you "good griefs" and
"criminy" about the level of aggression and direct violence
promote by jackhole. Despicable and SCARY.

Seems many of the guys here fancy some burly TSA agent shoving his hand down their pants or their child's....oh and if one doesn't like it they shouldn't fly....sick , pathetic lot.

I take it you did not watch the whole Video, I think it makes my point not tears it down.

We're going to have plenty of race baiting going on this campaign season, lot's of it. Let's try not to add to it, OK?

Once again, John, the key word here is "hypocrisy".
Hypocrites don't see their *own* hypocrisy.

Oh I think they do, for the most part, they just have larger agendas in mind.

Good point and that's an understatement.

Nothing like macho man and a good Cuban cigar! Yummy!

Excellent comment, JohnA.
I appreciate your peaceful rhetoric.

Thanks for keeping your cool with that
rude, mean-spirited comment by jackhole,
or whatever he calls himself nowadays.

Touché!

Boo! apparently you missed centrist attempts at race baiting by centerist: "
+4 Radical_Centrist

jackhole:
I am willing to bet this guy has probably done far worse than stomp on a Womans neck."

the clip was about some guy who was working at a polling station as a security guard. Centerist brought it over even though it had nothing to do with with The Pauls. why he felt that the guy had probably done far worse than stomp on a Womans neck.( like Rand Paul supporters did? oh, yea he was a black guy.

So to point out his bias I used my clip, not pretty but it got the point across: 1. like his it had nothing to do with the topic and that hate comes in all forms.

But if you need to know who I am here it is. http://jackholesrealm.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/im-maladjusted-just-like-martin-l...

Thanks for the heads up :-)

What is that--a news site where you're the
pundit? If it's Right Wing, I don't even want
to click on it. I don't do any RW sites for
fear of catching some horrible virus.

" whatever he calls himself nowadays?" See, i'mo gonna have to think about that one.

That's a concern. See, I'mo gonna ask wordpress about that.

So what if it's a stunt though? We need stunts to change peoples' minds about this.

Keep in mind, the TSA has never once prevented anyone from committing terrorist acts on a plane. All of the time terrorists have been caught on planes they've been caught by intelligence/police agencies like the FBI or MI6.

So you want to eliminate the TSA entirely? Which is what he wants. Don't you want to ensure that the plane you are flying on is safe? The TSA does more than pat down passengers. They control Air Traffic Controllers, plane safety, and airport security. By the way, if you didn't have airport security anybody could board a plane carrying a gun (they don't have to be a terrorist, they could just be deranged) and decide to shoot people on the plane.

It may be a pain to go through airport security these days, but I'd rather be a little inconvenience then sorry. What is needed though is proper training of security people so they all know how to do a pat down. But the GOP keep blocking any budget increases for the TSA, plus block Obama's nomination for the head of the TSA. The GOP want to do everything on the cheap and then complain about the service.

YES! ^+d

Yes sure let's all give up our freedoms so we can be safe....hope youre enjoying the Kool Aid.

Just what freedom am I giving up? I have the freedom to not fly and the freedom to say what I think, just like you do. And just what kool-aid am I drinking? I'm a free thinker who does not let the MSM (especially not FOX News) tell me what I should think.

Yet here you are, using a computer. Who's throwing stones now chucker?

Exactly but remember now we are safe from the boogeyman. Big Brother will protect us all in North America. We are all guilty ...little babies, old grannies ....guilty guilty . Wake up and see the sickness in all of this. Regardless of his agenda we have to salute this man for his courage to standing up against this travesty.

Yet here you are, using a computer.

Ewwwwww!

Totally agree with the "evil would not exist, if people refused to engage in it" part.

(and the assertion that c u r r e n t is bought and paid for by special interests....)

Thats funny.

Not everyone appreciates our wonderful sense of humor Bailey.

Oh Well!

They could certainly use more in Washington.

This has been on CNN today.

Good!

I agree, llip.
This is a great post! I will share with others.
Thank you, maasanova.

Great, hopefull this will create a good backlash like there was with the SOPA censorship bills.

Great post. Thanks.

Thank you Rond Paul for speaking for me!

Thanks for sharing this!

You're welcome!

Any time!

You're welcome!

Thank you Rond Paul for standing up for American citizens!

It is very frustrating to see our America turn into one giant prison for its citizens.

I think that was Congressman Paul's reason for not supporting building a border fence between us and Mexico.

Intuition? So we should base law enforcement on gut reaction coupled with our innate bias against people who are not like "us".

Although we should, it's difficult to put aside biases. . . is that not so?

Proper law enforcement requires you to throw out bias. Bias can make a real criminal invisible.

& that is exactly where profiling serves it's purpose. . . and every damn one of us does it daily in one form another. . .true story

+'d (for all the good it does on a day when the negabot are out in force) Always appreciate your comments. Don't always agree with them all (agree with this one) but ALWAYS appreciate your logic and ability to connect dots.

So it's alright for the TSA to trample on constitutional rights as long as they do it to people who's political views are different from yours? What a hypocrite! News flash, he voted against the Patriot act extension that Obama signed, with an auto-pen. He was against the NDAA.

pwnd

Oh no, the TSA can "trample" my constitutional rights as long as everyone else is subject to the same "trampling". I certainly went through this crap before 9/11 and no one was whining then. I'm glad to see now we all have to go through this. Now that everyone is subject to this kind of scrutiny, suddenly we hear about how unconstitutional it is. As far as searches go, I wish we did not have them but I have yet to hear a viable alternative. Once hysterical America finds a way to keep airplanes from becoming guided missiles and weapon transports, without some sort of invasive security measure, I'll be fully on board.

I was thinking the same thing.Good comment.He's above the law,rules and regulations?Better safe than sorry.

"The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.”

United States Constitution, Article One, Section 6, Clause 1

That's not what I got from BWDT's comment.

While I commend Rand Paul for his fight against the invasive screenings, they are the law of the land. He is in a position to help change that. One hopes he does.

In the meantime, when bigots who are all for picking on others base on the casing get caught up in an abusive system themselves, well, it's called equality I guess, and might be a lesson.

Also, BWDT made a very good point re people trying to bring guns on planes. The ones who seem to get busted for that do not fit the terrorist profiles so the profiles are pretty much useless if one is genuinely interested in real security.

Using 'security' as a beard to lend the illusion of propriety to institutionalized bigotry is just obnoxious, and does not make ANYBODY safer.
