Sen. Rand Paul says The White House, Capitol buildings, and key U.S. cities should build their own versions of Israel's Iron Dome to defend them from missile attacks, BuzzFeed reports.

“I saw presentations of the Iron Dome and it was very impressive … [I am] absolutely in favor of it,” Paul told reporters in a conference call after touring Israel and Jordan. …

better to build an Iron Dome over New York City, etc.

And lock the door and swallow the key. Hummm, now that I think about it I think the WH should have an iron dome.

Rand Paul's absurd statement unfortunately is typical of the mindset of our government, who believe they constitute the rare jewel encrusted faberge eggs of our nation, instead of the revenue chasing, paper pushing, commerce stifling petty bureaucrats they are.

I wonder if that dome would be air tight? If so, build it asap.

If any city in the USA needs an iron dome it’s already too late!

I can’t think of a good reason to spend our tax dollars protecting those cities.

Our biggest problem is that the Republicans have lost their courage, while the Prez. issues Executive Orders by the bucket full. These RINOS were elected to fix the mess, not hide under their desks. They could shut Obama down in a Chinese minute, but that takes courage. We can put the pieces back together, but we must have the pieces. And the pieces are being destroyed in front of our eyes.

If Paul is concerned about terrorism, terrorism is almost totally done by Muslims.

Muslims understand best power and vengeance - therefore, when the next Muslim terror attack occurs, level the Muslim community most associated with that group.

make the rubble bounce. A series of fuel/air bombs will assure zero survival.

Then announce that the next time such an attack occurs, two communities will be destroyed, three the time after that, four if another attack occurs,

Should more attacks occur, Medina will be nuked into glass.

If attacks continue, Mecca will be nuked.

If any Muslim attacks occur after that, Islam will have proved to be intolerable and will be erased from the face of the earth by the following means:
1. Muslims will have to level their mosques.
2. Muslims will have to level their madrassas.
3. Muslims will level all Imam dwellings.
4. Muslims will execute and publically display the bodies of all Muslim leaders such as Imams, madrassa teachers, etc.
5. All Korans must be burned.
6. Any Koranimal found with a Koran will cause the immediate destruction of that entire community.

Isalm is antithetical to, and irreconcilable with, America - and the entire non-Muslim world.

Therefore ISLAM DELENDA EST!

We’ve already signed treaties that agree we can’t have more than one or tow of these systems, because, you know, if we’re too well defended, we might feel comfortable attacking or threatening someone else......

The will to use our existing resources to blow the crap out of the nork and iranian ICBM/nuclear weapons capability would do much better than building any defensive system..... Cheaper too.

Let all the blue cities rot. They aren’t worth saving. In fact if they disappeared all together, it would only improve the country.

Heck. If the ChiComs destroyed our ten largest cities they would be doing America a favor.

Yep.

I do not care if they were to disappear into another dimension in the next 5 minutes.

In fact, I’d throw a party.

"Build it over anything but the White House and Congress."

Seems like this kind of protection be at the top of any proposed list of defense cuts and last on the list of proposed expenditures.
