I'd be impressed if Rand introduced that legislation. <br /><br />And the point of my post was that regardless of Rand's rant, the reality is soon state officials will be running drone programs in the US.Joe Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326800254526438870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15078815.post-3366278984646155592013-03-07T19:08:04.144-05:002013-03-07T19:08:04.144-05:00I was pretty proud of Rand Paul for standing up to...I was pretty proud of Rand Paul for standing up to bring attention to this incredibly important issue.<br />There is no place for Drones, with or without a warrant, over American soil.<br />There is no place for them over foreign soil either. Basically, they shouldn't exist at all.<br /><br />They are responsible for the murders of countless innocent people. Thousands have died in order for us to get one guy who we think might be a threat.<br />That doesn't cut it. Especially when the CIA will now be headed by one of the most corrupt, incompetent Neocons in gov't history...<br /><br />http://cnsnews.com/news/article/brennan-held-leadership-role-cia-during-pre-911-and-iraq-war-intel-failures<br /><br />Drones make it easy for politicians to violate the rights of Americans. They make us look like cowards to the rest of the world.<br />This administration has already scoffed at the rights of our citizens and if we give them an inch they will take the proverbial mile.<br /><br />The only disappointment I had was when Rand accepted Holder's "assurances" that drones won't be used on Americans here at home. That would be comforting were it not for the fact that Eric Holder is a incompetent, lying sack of shit.<br />He's proved that by seemingly having no control whatsoever over the agencies he's in charge of.<br />The DEA, FBI, ATF...violating people's rights on a daily basis and Holder is (or claims to be) oblivious to all of it.<br /><br />At least Rand Paul had the guts to bring attention to the fact that Obama just placed a sub-human Neocon in charge of the most powerful intelligence agency on earth.<br />This country will soon regret that transgression.<br />captainkonanoreply@blogger.com
