The man is a walking, talking, example of white privilige and US nationalist pride (albeit sometimes under the guise of isolationism). He doesn't care at all what happens to women, or gays, or non whites under any color of law--he would happilly back any NSA style wiretapping of women to prevent them from having abortions and he supports any and all governmental interference in the right of non whites to vote.<br /><br />I see no reason to think that if Rand Paul's father were in office he would oppose any NSA wiretapping at all. The man is nothing but a will to power in a bad toupee.aimaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956073425680585780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-66901676274294076662013-08-16T18:03:09.050-04:002013-08-16T18:03:09.050-04:00There is no effective Congressional oversight of t...There is no effective Congressional oversight of the intelligence services, the FISA court apparently has no power to stop them (provided the NSA and the rest of the boys deign to tell the court what they're doing) even if what they're doing is unconstitutional, and Barack Obama has absolutely no credibility on the entire subject. We are well and truly screwed.RAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665876778934188426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-6156025372113495592013-08-16T16:28:08.686-04:002013-08-16T16:28:08.686-04:00"On how many issues are we having a grown-up ..."On how many issues are we having a grown-up debate in Washington?"<br /><br />SATSQ:<br />NONE!!!<br /><br />This ends tomorrow's exciting edition of SATSQ!Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.com
