Rand Paul Shines While Michelle Malkin Whines

During Senator Rand Paul’s excellent filibuster today, he used America’s founding principles to reject Obama’s selection of John Brennan as CIA chief, the government’s use of drones, internment, NDAA, and expanded military power in America. In response, Michelle Malkin had this to say:

She’s still whining about the Hagel thing? During a momentous filibuster such as this? Oy vey.

Based on Malkin’s bizarre non sequitur, should we assume that she’s never read George Washington on foreign policy or Federalist Papers 2-5. Malkin’s advocating for a position contrary to the views of founders, with respect to foreign policy, by whining that the evil Hagel person isn’t placing a foreign country on a “favorite nation” pedestal. It’s interesting to watch “conservatives” not conserving America’s founding principles while embracing neocon ideology.

Note how Jason Pye responded to Malkin’s muddled messaging.

Now that’s a precision drone strike right there, Mr. Pye.

(Yes, she did write a book supporting internment.)

Let’s focus on American liberty above all else when we’re dealing with concerning statements from Obama’s administration wherein they believe they can use the military to kill Americans in America. An “extraordinary circumstance” is too subjective and must be fully renounced.

While America deals with this unconstitutional clumsiness from the Obama administration, Malkin’s “favorite nation” can take care of itself - oh, wait… that nation is on our dime.

    Malkin is such a tool.

    Malkin is dangerous. I can’t believe she backs Holder and Obama on this, for no other reason than to smite Paul Jr. This is a power trip, not a reasoned decision based on COTUS or legality within the USA. She makes me like those she doesn’t even more with every breath.

    I can’t stand that crazy bitch…and Fox News loves her because she’s not only a woman, she’s a minority, which apparently gives her free reign to say whatever hateful bullshit she wants. At least that’s what she—and they—seem to think.

    She’s just part of the bigger problem. I noticed that she tried to backtrack a bit last night when she saw the echo chamber slowly rising up to #standwithrand. Only problem with that is they made the erroneous assumption that the filibuster was about blocking Brennan. It wasn’t; it was about whether the administration feels they have the right to use drones on American soil agains Americans. That’s it. Now, they probably can’t believe that, because its unconscionable to think any American president would do such a thing. And I doubt this administration would. However, they (at least at this time) refuse to shut that door completely. Frankly, it’s a door that never should have been opened, and we have George Dubya to thank for that.

    No, I’m not a liberal, nor am I a Dubya Hater. I’m just being honest. If the filibuster did nothing, it should have served as a catalyst for the GOP to do some soul searching and figure out how we got here. But no, that’s too much to expect from the echo chamber. Neocons who cheered last night probably missed the point. I look for lots of heads exploding today if Rand Paul votes to confirm Brennan.
