Sen. Rand Paul is conducting a filibuster against John Brennan's nomination to head the CIA until further notice.

Is John ‘al-Quds’ Brennan a Muslim or does he ‘just’ sympathize with them? Caroline Glick provides the answer to this all-important question (Hat Tip: Dan F).
But I think the question of whether or not he is actually a Muslim or just an Islamophile is just as unimportant as his hippy days learning to love Islam. And by the same token, I think that it is unimportant if Obama is or isn’t a Muslim. I don’t care whom they pray to.
The question is whether their world view, and their policies would be any different if they were Muslims. And I think the answer to that is no. And since it is their policies, not their beliefs that matter to the world, they should be judged for that.
Aside from his hippy past, and his horrible, obsequious Arabic, the thing that made me most uncomfortable about Brennan’s whole paean to Islam is the fact that he said “Palestine” twice and never said Israel, and when he finally felt compelled to say Jerusalem, after saying “Al Quds” twice he sounded like he was either going to spit or apologize for mentioning the word Jerusalem in the presence of his audience. So does it matter if this man is a Muslim or not? Not in the least. He’s just as dangerous either way.
I wonder if Obama will bring him along for the visit. Can’t wait to welcome him to JERUSALEM, YERUSHALAYIM, the capital of the JEWISH people for the past 3,000 years. Oh, and his advisers should probably mention to John Brennan that the name of our country is Israel. There is no such country as Palestine. And there has never been a country named Palestine. Perhaps one of the senators could mention that to him during his confirmation hearing.

Not true. She gets trashed by at least one poster every time McCain stabs us in the back because she endorsed him for reelection. As if that was what got him over the top (it wasn't).
Kabuki. He voted for Hagel. he said then that a President is entitled to leeway on appointments.
He can pound sand.
Worth a listen on C-Span.
You can help him by contacting your corrupt senators

I think RP is the only Senator that has a pair.
I saw that, but there was more to the story. That was what they chose to rest their case on. He had been fighting with the leadership to stop the nomination from coming to the floor and they refused to join him or back him.
AFTER the vote, he stifled himself a lot, but if you read the other things he has said about it, you will get the general idea that he lashed out at the leadership and that is what drove his vote which didn’t really matter in the end anyway.
I've been contacting my elected Reps for so many years, that their numbers are worn off my telephone. Unfortunately, the ruling class no longer have staffers - for the most - personally answer their DC phones. I guess they figure we'll tire of hearing their recorded "leave a message" message and give up :(
Spoken like an ignorant unAmerican bigoted troll. Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution ensures there will be no religious test for any office or public trust.
There are plenty of reasons to oppose Brennan but his faith would not be one. Ditto Romney, Obama or whoever else doesn't fit your particular religious inclination.
I see that you have not met humblegunner yet.
I'll put you in the pro-Brennan column.
dfwgator = another pro-Brennan cheerleader.
Pray for Rand Paul.
Huh? All I’m saying is that I don’t trust Rand after he Judased us on the Hagel nomination.....How do you interpret that as being pro-Brennan?
So you're upset that he's against Brennan. I'll put you down in the pro-islamofascist column as well.
Piranha = another islamofascist apologist. Upset that RP is holding up your guy? Too bad.
