quote:

I voted against the new CIA Director because I worry that his desire for security will trump his defense of liberty.

More than ever before, oversight of the secretive world of intelligence is critically important.


quote:

In addition, many in Congress support a comprehensive, searchable database equipped with “public” data like “lifestyle” choices, an incredible invasion of privacy in some ways more intrusive than the English soldiers that invaded American households to search for any untaxed papers.

Advocates of such a database argue that it will only be searched after obtaining some type of court order.

These advocates fail to understand that our privacy and the Fourth Amendment are breached merely in the collection of our personal data. Our privacy is invaded first by the collection of private information and only secondarily by searching that databank.

The existence of the database itself is a violation of our right to privacy.



nice linguistics in the first quote

In a more perfect union, where civics and history are taught properly, Rand would be President.

Fear not, for at least there is still a voice of reason in DC.

It's a damn shame he got weeded out by the extreme right during the primaries.

I would never want Rand Paul to be President.

I love the guy, though.

I look at him as silent guardian kinda like Batman.

The War on Terror endless of course has sadly made many citizens pliant on their own liberties.

I hope Rand keeps talking.

Keep in mind that I supported Rand in the primary, but I have a question. How come when Trump breaks ranks, he is a big government liberal, but when Rand does it he is a "man of principle"?

I respect the hell out of Rand but it's pretty much impossible to get a credible CIA director that both Rand and the rest of the GOP could be happy with.

That kind of director just doesn't exist.
