The “Old Guard” can shove it up their smelly Obamas.

They’re so out of touch, it’s amazing. They’re square dancers at a hip-hop club.

How much staying power is there in a political stance that requires waxing semihysterical about the imminent threat of Obama-ordered drone strikes against Americans sitting in cafés?

It was a simple question that Holder couldn't answer. It ought to have elicited a simple "Of course not!" but Holder couldn't manage it.

And its not about drones. Its about the right of a president to make up a list of enemies and have them killed by whatever means. Holder could have said "Don't be silly, of course its unconstitutional" and we all could have moved on.

Where the drone question comes in is a bit more involved. They are using drones to see what you are doing on your land, without a warrant. That ought to be the follow-up. Can EPA, Fish and Game, the county sheriff search your property without a warrant? Is that constitutional?

Old Guard? Are you referring to the DNC II party?

A Third party would be ruinous, however you actually need two parties before you can have a third.

Just a grammatical note, but it’s an important one because conservatives who mess these up are often dismissed (while liberals with even worse mistakes are classified as diverse):

Word’s do not need apostrophe’s to be plural’s. In general, we use apostrophe’s for possessive’s or for contraction’s. Extra apostrophe’s can be distraction’s that interfere with our message’s.

The Song of the Old Guard

by Rudyard Kipling

Know this, my brethren, Heaven is clear
And all the clouds are gone--
The Proper Sort shall flourish now,
Good times are coming on"--
The evil that was threatened late
To all of our degree
Hath passed in discord and debate,
And, Hey then up go we!

A common people strove in vain
To shame us unto toil,
But they are spent and we remain,
And we shall share the spoil
According to our several needs
As Beauty shall decree,
As Age ordains or Birth concedes,
And, Hey then up go we!

And they that with accursed zeal
Our Service would amend,
Shall own the odds and come to heel
Ere worse befall their end:
For though no naked word be wrote
Yet plainly shall they see
What pinneth Orders on their coat,
And, Hey then up go we!

Our doorways that, in time of fear,
We opened overwide
Shall softly close from year to year
Till all be purified;
For though no fluttering fan be heard
Nor chaff be seen to flee--
The Lord shall winnow the Lord's Preferred--
And, Hey then up go we!

Our altars which the heathen brake
Shall rankly smoke anew,
And anise, mint and cummin take
Their dread and sovereign due,
Whereby the buttons of our trade
Shall soon restored be
With curious work in gilt and braid,
And, Hey then up go we!

Then come, my brethren, and prepare
The candlesticks and bells,
The scarlet, brass, and badger's hair
Wherein our Honour dwells,
And straitly fence and strictly keep
The Ark's integrity
Till Armageddon break our sleep . . .
And, Hey then up go we!

The Old Steers of the GOP are whistling past the political graveyard. I don’t subscribe to some of the more kooky Libertarian Party ideas, but I do believe that the future of the GOP, if it has one, is of a more libertarian bent.

There are even some Freepers who have been ripping into Paul.
While some of his views may place him off the reservation, he has gotten good ratings from conservative groups—and bad ratings from liberal/left groups. And his filibuster, following months of rolling over by the GOP’s leaders, was a shot in the arm.
