You remember the barrage of attacks initiated against Rand Paul when he introduced the only substantial plan to cut Federal Government spending. The measure sought to cut $500 bil in Federal Spending. Of course, the measure was called “draconian” and was labelled as attack on poor people. Both political parties in both houses of Congress are big-government statists and have no intention of slowing down the growth of the Federal Government.

Please send a message to these political hacks that we have no choice but to cut spending. Sign the petition and please pass this on to everyone you know that desires the next generation to enjoy a prosperous America.

From the Senate office of Rand Paul regarding offering amendments on the Patriot Act extension as promised by lying Harry Reid. I don’t think Rand was necessarily surprised that Harry Reid lied, again. The fact that Harry openly put his lie in the public record is the norm for this clown..

Thanks to Rand for standing up for Americans tired of being steam rolled by the traitors in Congress. Hopefully, American will find the courage to fire those in Washington who seem to relish the opportunity to trample the American Constitution.

Sen. Paul Statement on USA PATRIOT Act Extension
May 24, 2011

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Sen. Rand Paul spent a significant amount of the day on the Senate floor urging Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to keep his word and allow debate and amendments on the USA PATRIOT Act extension.

“Instead of honoring statements he made in February regarding allowing amendments and debate on the bill, Sen. Reid went through procedural hoops to go back on his word. By hurriedly attaching the extensions to the privileged small business bill as an amendment, Sen. Reid denied the Senate the opportunity to debate the constitutionality of its provisions,” Sen. Paul said. “Today’s events further underscore the U.S. government’s lack of transparency and accountability to the American people.”

 

FLASHBACK:

Sen. Reid’s comments in the Feb. 15, 2011, Congressional Record:

Mr. REID. Mr. President, I express my appreciation to everyone involved. It has been a difficult issue, but I will put on the record what I have told a number of Senators personally, and that is that we will, prior to this expiration occurring, bring up the PATRIOT Act and have an opportunity for an extended period of time–a week at least–to offer amendments and do whatever people feel is appropriate on this bill.

I have talked to a couple of Senators who have told me specifically that they want to offer amendments. Although I didn’t agree I would support their amendments–one was a Democrat and one was a Republican–I said that is what we should be able to do, to set this up so they can offer their amendments. And I will do whatever I can to make sure we move forward on this legislation in ample time so that we can pass this PATRIOT Act for a more extended period of time, which is so important to the security of this country. I know people have problems with it, and that is why we are going to have the amendment process.

Rand Paul wrote a letter to his Congressional colleagues urging them to not extend the provisions of the unconstitutional, 4th amendment abolishing, and improperly worded Patriot Act. As it stands he held off a push to have it extended for three years or become permanent. His letter spelled out the acts Constitutional violations and asked his colleagues to act within the confines of the American Constitution they swore to uphold. Of course, one of Rand’s colleagues proved why he is no friend of American Freedom. Here is the quote from the Constitution-trampling, Joe Lieberman. Take it away Joe!

…there will be a full-fledged debate on it. That was what is discussed and that is okay with me. I support the Patriot Act as is. I think these three provisions are very sensible. There is no record that they have compromised everybody’s rights but there is a record that they have helped protect our homeland security.

Back to the real world. Here is the video and letter from Rand Paul.

Dear Colleague:

James Otis argued against general warrants and writs of assistance that were issued by British soldiers without judicial review and that did not name the subject or items to be searched.

He condemned these general warrants as “the worst instrument[s] of arbitrary power, the most destructive of English liberty and the fundamental principles of law, that ever w[ere] found in an English law book.” Otis objected to these writs of assistance because they “placed the liberty of every man in the hands of every petty officer.” The Fourth Amendment was intended to guarantee that only judges—not soldiers or policemen—would issue warrants. Otis’ battle against warrantless searches led to our Fourth Amendment guarantee against unreasonable government intrusion. Read the rest of this entry

Here’s a great interview with Rand Paul and conservative blogger Ben Domenech about Paul’s plans in Congress for 2011. It’s brought to you by Newledger.com’s Coffee and Markets.

Jack Conway is all about the war on drugs -as long as it doesn’t involve his brother, Matt Conway.  Apparently, ole Jack ran defence to make sure his brother’s drug dealing investigation was compromised by talking with investigators about the case and making sure a warning was given to his brother about a search warrant being issued to look for Matt’s stash of illegal drugs.

Here the story reported by the Courier-Journal newspaper in Louisville, KY.

Jack Conway is so “war on drugs”-minded he picked up some handy endorsements from law enforcement in Kentucky. See link here and here.

Jack discusses his love for the war on drugs here, here, and here.

Not only is Jack Conway unable to tell the truth in his campaign videos, he has liberal pundits calling him out on it. This is sad when progressives even criticize Conway on his lying BS. Here’s a couple of entertaining videos pertaining to the lies.

To end this with another laugh at the expense of Jack Conway, here’s the story from TPMDC.Com about Conway’s winning strategy against Rand Paul regarding the war on drugs. Here’s the classic quote that made me LMAO:

Democrats have said they plan to continue to attack Paul as weak on drugs. Not only do they think the issue is a winner for Conway — but they also believe it highlights another running theme from the Democrats: Paul doesn’t understand Kentucky.

Well, I guess if impeding a drug investigation on your brother and repeatedly lying, about not only your political opponent, but about breaking the law, is understanding Kentucky, then I guess they are right. I just can’t believe the Kentucky voters can be so sheepish as to support this Jack Conway “good ole boy system”. So, I contend that unless Kentucky is full of clueless progressive sheep (which I don’t believe), they certainly couldn’t support Jack Conway’s lies and corruption.

Please vote for liberty and freedom and reject the “same as it ever was” Jack Conway politics in Kentucky. Vote for Rand Paul.

In case you missed it this week, National Propaganda Radio (NPR) provided a nice forum for Jack Conway to continue to bash Rand Paul over a college prank. They apparently have no problem trying to retain power in Congress for their Democrat political party. Here’s a copy of the interview in MP3 format.

NPR and Jack Conway Team Up To Defeat Rand Paul

Since NPR is supposedly unbiased with listener support from all political parties, I looked to see the comments left at NPR regarding this interview and found what I expected – a hard left political slant.  I pulled the first few comment for your reading pleasure.

This man has dangerous racist ideas, much like the McCarthy times in his assumption he can change America back to it’s sad past. I thought we had grown up since then, but the tea party movement has brought out racism and hatred that I didn’t know still existed in America.

Yeah, O’Donnell was dumb to say “I am not a witch”, which brings up Nixon’s “I am not a crook” remark.

Behavior in college is fair game in an election, especially if it can be tied to your current views

I appreciate that (maybe) the tea-heads wanted things to be done a new way, but seriously, to run and expect that these tactics wouldn’t be used?

When the Republican party portrays itself as the party that any decent Christian ought to vote for, then it’s fair game to point out how un-Christian the policies of the Republican party are.

Yes, call out(Ayn)Rand Paul for what he is, and who he was named after. He was named after Ayn Rand, a Russian immigrant who came to this country and brain washed millions of readers with her RED philosophy.

Rand Paul is a total hypocrite and should be called out on it

Maybe the federal government only provides a small portion of NPR funding, it needs to find another financial cow to suck from. Stop this portion of its funding.

NRP is also funded by Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). CPR is described as follows:

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is a private, not-for-profit corporation created by the federal government that receives appropriations from Congress to help fund programming for more than 1,000 locally-owned public TV and radio stations. CPB-funded programs are distributed by the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), National Public Radio (NPR), and Public Radio International (PRI).

The federal government needs to end this funding as well.

How about NPR’s other funding sources, including private endowments, individual listeners, and corporate sponsors. All tax exemptions for all contributions should be eliminated. My tax dollars should not fund a liberal/progressive bias that seems to continue to spew it’s slanted propaganda at the expense of those who are not liberal/progressive.

There are many examples of questionable NPR sponsorships. A most notable one was the government-corporate sponsor Ally Bank.

Ally Bank is a rebranded General Motors Acceptance Corp–a financial company that received a $12.5 billion federal bailout. Planet money is a show that investigates financial themes and stories, which has raised questions among NPR listeners about whether the bank is an appropriate sponsor for the show.

Lastly, apparently if you say the right things at NPR that pleases the Obama administration, you are rewarded. An NPR journalist, Nina Totenberg made a comment regarding Jesse Helms: if there was “retributive justice,” former Sen. Jesse Helms would “get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it.” President Obama rewarded Totenberg’s sister, Nina Totenberg to the U.S. District Court in Atlanta. By the way, I was no fan of Jesse Helms.

NPR is no different than all of the other Progressive media and has become the propaganda arm for Obama. Yes, that includes ABC, NBC, CNN, CBS, Bloomberg, Washington Post, NY Times, Chicago Tribune, San Fransico Chronicle, Time, Newsweek, Bloomberg/Newsweek, Rolling Stone, and the list keeps going and going… Ever wonder why these American-hating propaganda mediums are losing readership and viewers?

Americans are getting tired of being called racists and haters when we are trying to unite under the banner of Americanism. Take your liberal-progressive-communist BS to Venezuela, Cuba, or France where they love you and the progressive hate you spew. Boycott these American traitors.
