Sorry Rand, but if some terrorist (American citizen or not) is heading to a city or major sports arena, etc. to set off a nuke and we can take him out with a drone I say go for it.

According to Rand, it is just fine to take out the person in your example with a drone or anything else. That person is an imminent threat and can therefore be dispatched.

Rand's major issue is the targeting of people who are NOT a threat. His example is someone sitting in a cafe' drinking a cup of coffee or eating breakfast. That person is NOT engaged in hostilities, is NOT a threat, and should NOT be targeted for killing.

Methinks you misunderstand the problem. Obama reserved the right to kill anyone anytime for any reason. This means you, Bitter Clinger.

No one in the Bonus Army was shot or killed in the eviction.

Not true. Two vets were shot and one died. They probably were wise not to fight back too hard against infantry, cavalry and six tanks.

Bonus Army

“Don’t know if anyone is watching, but McCain and Graham are doing a dog and pony show on the senate floor now.. CYA?”

I don’t indulge in politicians personal lives as a rule, but those two...somethin’ just ain’t right with them...ya think they’re sharing the same glass of kool-aid?? Maybe Cindy puts up with the old fool because he doesn’t bother her...
Just sayin’!

On July 28, U.S. Attorney General William D. Mitchell ordered the veterans removed from all government property. Washington police met with resistance, shots were fired and two veterans were wounded and later died. Veterans were also shot dead at other locations during the demonstration.

Yes.

After the cavalry charged, the infantry, with fixed bayonets and adamsite gas, an arsenical vomiting agent, entered the camps, evicting veterans, families, and camp followers. The veterans fled across the Anacostia River to their largest camp and President Hoover ordered the assault stopped. However Gen. MacArthur, feeling the Bonus March was a attempt to overthrow the U.S. government, ignored the President and ordered a new attack. Fifty-five veterans were injured and 135 arrested.[11] A veteran's wife miscarried. When 12-week-old Bernard Myers died in the hospital after being caught in the tear gas attack, a government investigation reported he died of enteritis, while a hospital spokesman said the tear gas "didn't do it any good."[15]

In all four were killed and 1,017 were injured. At least 69 police were injured.

For me, America comes first.

We are at war with Islam.

And if Rand Paul thinks we don’t have the right and the duty to use every means to keep this country safe from its enemies, he has no business being in the US Senate.

The Constitution is not a suicide pact. It specifically enjoins our public officials to protect the country from its enemies foreign and domestic alike.

ROFL!! That’s the funniest and most appropriate ping list graphic I’ve seen.

The Constitution is not a suicide pact.

And you think Sen. Paul doesn't agree with that?

Check posts #59, #94 and #103.

It’s a global fascist ideology McStupid and his girlfriend, Ms. Lidsay, share with Obama.

Their only opposition is the US government’s official domestic terrorist threat - Christians, Vets, conservatives, constitutionalists.

They are sickos and have hi-jacked the GOP. I’ll never forget the look of terror and fury on these Rinos’ faces when the Tea Party rose up. It inspired Rove to gnaw off his legs.

Do you think Rove is trying to make the way for ole Jeb?

I think that's very possible if not down right probable. Jeb is NOT presidential material!

Screw the GOP-E! They don’t lead. They cave to the rats everytime. Throw them out and go with the TEA Party members as the leaders.

"I don't think the laws of war apply to America, I think the Bill of Rights do and I think it's a disservice to our soldiers that our senators up there arguing that the Bill of Rights aren't important. "

Bam! This guy has the guts of ten current GOP-e members.

Foxnews Shep Smith was outraged today. He said Paul made a fool out of himself last night and that if last night was what the congress was reduced to, the US might as well be invaded and taken over. And the lefty spin that is gaining momentum is that the filibuster was a huge victory for obama because it makes him look strong against terrorism and makes the GOP look weak.

That's par for the course with Sheppy and the left is crazier than I thought if they think that was a win for 0dumbo.

Sheppy should do some reading up on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights but him being a leftist it's probably asking too much for him to waste his time.
