| On this weekend’s broadcast of the syndicated “Inside Washington” television program, conservative Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer blasted Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul’s recent filibuster and mocked the idea of a drone attack on United States soil.“Well look, I am grateful he raised this issue, because I think we have reached a point in the country where we are sick and tired of the way the administration is going around blowing people to kingdom come while sitting in their living rooms because of a suspicion — I’m talking about Americans,” Krauthammer said.

Who would have thought federal agents would shot an unarmed woman holding her baby? Who would have thought women and children would be attacked by tanks? How absurd did it sound before it happened?

Seems as though Krauthammer and those who are ganging up on Rand Paul are the ones who are being "most ridiculous and absurd".
I count with them those who believe that good smart Conservatives can only focus on one thing a a time. That is really ridiculous and absurd.

The nice thing about not following gurus and pundits like Krauthammer and others, chapter and verse, is that when they slip off into absurdity you don´t have to go with them.

I wonder about Dr. K, sometimes.
The issue, Krauthammer, is that Obama and company were not giving answers that indicated they had America´s best interests at heart. Anyone could have and should have answered that "of course Americans in the U.S. will not be targeted by drone strikes..."
But they hemmed and hawed. They spun and shifted. Their responses indicated a level of malevolent intent that had to be challenged.
If you can´t see that, I feel sorry for you.

Pre-Nixon it may have been absurd, but nowadays absolutely no suspicion about these communist one worlders is absurd. They have no loyalty to the Constitution or the country. The current one is by far the worst. Krauthammer never impressed me much as an intellectual. More of a party hack. So who got to the party? What was the threat?

Here´s the deal, as far as I´m concerned. Obama has not to my knowledge ever explained or even been challenged on his "civilian national security force" comment. During his entire Administration he has sided with the pro-threatened or actual violence element, whether the New Black Panther cow pies in Philly, the Occupy scum nationwide or the union pukes in Wisconsin during the recall. Make of the DHS ammo and MRAP purchase what you will. Dr. K and the GOP may want to give him the benefit of the doubt. I don´t, not yet anyway.

When the country´s top lawyer can´t give a simple yes or no answer to if it is okay or not to kill Americans on whim or not that is a HUGE concern.
BTW maybe Krauthammer should look at a history book and see what Lincoln and Sherman did from Chattanooga to Savannah.

That said, I consider this issue a diversion. I´m sure teleprompter is delighted to have this issue dominate the news instead of the many others he is vulnerable to.
If teleprompter kills an American he can face murder charges. And civil damages. That is more real than any promise he might make anyway.

Neither of them has ever had an original thought - - a characteristic which is crucial to claiming the throne.
But I´m not sure Sauerkraut will make it - - ´cause he doesn´t have Gergen´s hunky sex appeal.

Obamawannajihad has been using drones to spy on my family´s cattle ranch for years. Apparently this Nazi regime is obsessed with how our Christian, family run and owned Small Business denigrates the environment. The fact that I have been reporting on this issue without result or action to every news outlet, including this one , for months is astounding! Believe or not, this government is spying on everyone.

What Rand Paul did was important because it got to the heart of the matter: Obama´s Leftist intentions. We who´ve known those intentions are bad and cannot be trusted in any situation have been waiting for a Republican to stand up and question them, at the very least. Whether Rand Paul is correct in every aspect of his own defense policy opinions is beside the point here. What matters is that Obama be exposed - and this was just the beginning of what hopefully will be an ongoing process of unmasking the anti-American fraud-in-chief.

#24, do you have any idea how many laws Obama has broken since coming to office? Still, our government has broken so many laws for generations and has NEVER been held accountable. I have known of people who have been "disappeared" and framed by our Federal government. If they could do it for years and years and years, what makes you think that they can´t easily cover it up or manufacture evidence to justify their actions?

The problem Paul is running into is there´s a lot of people who simply can´t or won´t believe that Obama would use drones on people in this country.McCain and Krauthammer are two examples. They can´t read the tea leaves of where Obama is eventually headed. Creating a registry of gun owners is part of the long term plot to make sure they target the right people.
Neville Chamberlain probably never believed Hitler would bomb England.If it wasn´t for Churchill we´d all be speaking German by now.
Pauls speech would have never happened if Holder us gave a simple direct answer to a direct question.He tried his best to leave open the possibility of people minding their own business,not posing an imminent threat, could get an air strike.
One person,playing judge,jury and executioner is not what this country was founded on.

It was the right thing to do. But Stowell didn’t become involved in political fights for marriage equality until Republicans in the New Hampshire legislature introduced HB 437 in 2011 to repeal the Granite State’s 2010 law conferring the same state protections on same-sex marriages that traditional marriages enjoy.

Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions voiced concerns over the bipartisan proposal for immigration reform introduced on Monday by eight senators, saying the plan will substantially increase the already sky-high national debt and criticizing the federal government for inadequately enforcing existing immigration laws. “No one should expect the members of the Senate are just going to rubber stamp what a group who met decided,” Sessions said on the Senate floor. While immigration system needs to be reformed, Sessions said, the country has been through this dance before.

White House sources are telling Democratic reporters that the president is willing to go over the so-called “fiscal cliff” if GOP leaders don’t agree to his demand for higher tax rates on the wealthy without substantive spending cuts. A political deadlock would mean an automatic tax increase for middle-class and wealthy Americans on January 1, and the opportunity for Obama and the Democrats to push a tax-cutting bill for middle-class voters in 2013, say the White House officials, who leaked the claim to two liberal columnists.Republican lawmakers, including House Speaker John Boehner, say they are opposed

Allen, the commander of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan, the Pentagon announced early Tuesday. According to a senior U.S. defense official, the FBI has uncovered between 20,000 and 30,000 pages of “potentially inappropriate” emails between Allen and Jill Kelley, a 37-year-old Tampa woman whose close friendship with Petraeus ultimately led to his downfall.

Each weapon had both a “passive” as well as a “visible” laser that could be used against the Libyan attackers.

It is a common tactic among politicians and others who are in trouble to plead guilty to a lesser offense in order to distract attention from their real transgression. That is, I think, what the Obama administration has done in admitting belatedly that the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was an act of terrorism, not, as Mark Steyn put it, a movie review that got out of hand. Scott detailed that sorry history earlier this morning. The administration hopes, I think, that acknowledging the obvious with respect to the nature of the attack will allow the press

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs.

This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
