Now I wouldn't vote for Rand for President, but I do support and applaud his efforts here.

Sen. Rand Paul Launches Filibuster Against NSA's Controversial Data Collection Program


Sen. Rand Paul has launched another filibuster -- this time over the National Security Agency's controversial bulk collection of Americans' phone records.

"The people don't want the bulk collection of their records, and if we were listening, we would hear that," Paul said on the Senate floor today.

Paul started the filibuster against the PATRIOT Act at 1:18 p.m. on Wednesday. Provisions of the PATRIOT Act, including Section 215, which authorizes the NSA's controversial bulk collection of phone records, is set to expire on June 1. Paul, known for his libertarian leanings, has said he does not want the program to be reauthorized.

It's a double-edged sword. The same people crying NOW, are the same ones who cried on 9/1/1 for Big Brother to protect us. Can't have it both ways. Doesn't work.

SCREW IT ALL! Why worry about protecting the U.S.A. anymore. This nation is falling apart because IGNORANT people put an Ignorant, Racist, Socialist, Muslim Brotherhood idiot in the white house, and all they needed was for Uneducated, Selfish Americans to fight each other, ignore the laws, and the constitution because THE Commander in Chief is setting the standard to DESTROY all of us.

We are so worried about so much BULLSHIT that doesn't mean crap. We are all complicit in Making OBL's dreams of Americans destroying America come true.

Anyone who can't see that only needs to see HOW MANY OF US HERE are always arguing about stuff NONE OF US can control.
Multiply that by our entire Population of more than 310 Million and we get NOTHING.

So...SCREW IT!
