Just goes to show you, you can't trust any of them. They're either crooks, thieves, murderers, or con artists.
Gangs of them.
Each with a little niche.
It's time for a purge. We sent them there. They have failed us. They have turned against us. They have become our enemy. How can we let this continue?

LEE JOINS PAUL IN TALKING FILIBUSTER AGAINST CIA NOMINEE BRENNAN (YOU KNOW, THE IRISH MUSLIM)
Rand Paul. Clearly the result of good breeding.
Fifty more of him and we could transform the U.S.
back to where it once was. It's getting a little late
for the sheeple to wake up, but please do what you
can by informing your friends and relations of what
this nation is up against.
H/T to Merlin
“I will speak today until the president says, ‘no’ he will not kill you at a café or in your home.”
"This is the first time I’ve come to the floor to use a true talking filibuster," Paul said. "It almost never happens. … I don’t think I’ve ever seen some one come and speak in a filibuster before."

Lee joins Paul in talking filibuster against CIA nominee Brennan
By Ramsey Cox
-
03/06/13 12:00 PM ET
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) on Wednesday joined Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) in his
talking filibuster against the nomination of John Brennan to be
director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
“Americans have every reason to be concerned any time the government
wants to intrude on life, liberty or prosperity,” Lee said. “We’re
talking here about the sanctity of human life and we have to take steps
to protect that.”
Paul had been speaking from the Senate floor for more than three hours before another GOP member joined him.
“I’m
here to filibuster John Brennan’s nomination to be director of CIA,”
Paul said on the Senate floor Wednesday. “I will speak for as long as it
takes."
“I will speak today until the president says, ‘no’ he will not kill you at a café or in your home.”
Paul
has said he wants more answers from the administration on whether
American citizens can be targeted by armed drones inside the United
States before he'll lift his filibuster on Brennan's nomination.
“
No
American should be killed by a drone on American soil without first
being found guilty of a crime,” Paul said. “That an American could be
killed on American soil is an abomination.” Paul noted that his
throat was getting dry as he passed the one-hour mark of the talking
filibuster, which has become rare in the upper chamber. Senators are
allowed to filibuster without commanding the floor, so few choose to
hold up nominations or legislation by speaking.
"This is the first time I’ve come to the floor to use a true talking filibuster," Paul said. "It almost never happens. … I don’t think I’ve ever seen some one come and speak in a filibuster before."
Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said earlier Wednesday that he had
hoped to have a vote on Brennan’s nomination so that lawmakers could
leave town before a snowstorm prevented members from heading home for
the weekend.
The Senate Intelligence panel in a 12-3 vote on
Tuesday approved Brennan, but Paul has said he will keep his filibuster
going until President Obama says he will not kill Americans by drone
attack on American soil.
“Has America the Beautiful become ‘Alice
in Wonderland’?” Paul said. “When I asked the president can you kill an
American on American soil, it should have been an easy answer — an
unequivocal "no."
“But his answer was, ‘I haven’t killed anyone yet and I have no intention of killing Americans, but I might.’ ”
Paul said the possibility that a citizen could be targeted
without being charged in the courts went against the Fifth Amendment of
the Constitution, which gives citizens the right to a trial by a jury of
their peers.
“The Fifth Amendment should also protect you from a president who might kill you with a drone,” Paul said. “No American should be killed in their house without a warrant. … But [Obama] says trust him, he hasn’t done it yet.
“Mr. President that’s not good enough. … I will not sit quietly in my office and let him shred the Constitution.”
“The Fifth Amendment should also protect you from a president who might kill you with a drone,” Paul said. “No American should be killed in their house without a warrant. … But [Obama] says trust him, he hasn’t done it yet.
“Mr. President that’s not good enough. … I will not sit quietly in my office and let him shred the Constitution.”
Recently released Justice Department documents claim the CIA and the DOD
have the legal right to take out terror suspects across the globe via
armed drone strikes, even if those suspects happen to be U.S. citizens.
The
legal justifications allowing armed drones to take out U.S. citizens
suspected of terrorism overseas would open the door to such strikes
against Americans inside the U.S., according to Paul.
Attorney General Eric Holder this week declined to rule out armed-drone strikes on American soil, though he said it's a far-fetched scenario.
In a letter sent to Paul before Brennan's confirmation vote, Holder said the White House "has no intention" of launching drone strikes on American soil, saying the administration "rejects the use of military force" inside the U.S. when "well-established law enforcement authorities" exist.
"The question you have posed is therefore entirely hypothetical, unlikely to occur, and one we hope no president will ever have to confront," Holder wrote.

Lee said that Holder’s memo expressed a “standardless standard.”
“No one can reasonably look into this and see who the government may
kill with a drone and who the government won’t kill with a drone,” Lee
said.

RAND PAUL ON THE SOTU SPEECH W/VIDEOS
Last night, during his State of the Union address, President Obama called for more government, more taxes and more debt to solve our nation's problems.
Quite frankly, I couldn't disagree more with the President.
As I said in my Tea Party response to the President's SOTU, "the path we are on is not sustainable, but few in Congress or in this Administration seem to recognize that their actions are endangering the prosperity of this great nation."
I agree with Ronald Reagan who said that government is not the answer to the problem - government is the problem.
I pledge to you that as long as I'm in Washington, I will continue fighting to restore the Founding principles of individual liberty, free markets, and constitutional government in America.
I hope I can count on your continued support.
In Liberty,
Senator Rand Paul
P.S. After you watch the video, be sure to take a moment to read Business Week's article about my Tea Party response to Barack Obama's SOTU.

THE EPA IS OUT OF CONTROL - RAND PAUL (USE THE TOOL I GAVE YOU LATE YESTERDAY TO EMAIL OR SNAIL MAIL THE PREZ AND THE CONGRESS OR THE TOLL FREE NO. IF YOU HAVE NO MONEY TO DONATE
Dear May,
The Environmental Protection Agency is out-of-control. And your property could be next.
Too often, our rights are being violated by abusive and power-hungry EPA bureaucrats, using threats, coercion and force to implement their power grabs.
These regulations have hampered landowners' ability to manage their private property as they please and have impaired job creation. Americans are suffering from the overreach of regulatory agencies such as the EPA.
Our economy, job growth and private property rights are at stake.
Today, I'm asking you to stand with me and start to fight back against an out-of-control federal government.
Please take a minute to sign the "Defense of Property" petition I've had prepared for you, and if possible, lend your support today to our effort to stop the Obama EPA in its tracks.
I'll give you a link in a moment, but I want to tell you why this legislation is so vital.
When power is left in the hands of the executive, it will ALWAYS grow. There is no mechanism to stop it within the executive branch.
Budgets will balloon.
Pages of regulations will proud. And power will cause those in charge to act like masters instead of servants, something that happens all too frequently in our government these days.
** EPA regulations cost more than 5 percent of
our annual gross domestic product, the equivalent of the costs of defense and homeland security combined.
** Since EPA
regulations have been taking property, jobs and businesses away from citizens, unemployment in America has increased by 33 percent.
** This
abuse of power by the implementation of regulations infringes upon our basic rights, and it harms each and every one of us
whether or not we are affected directly by one of their rules.
But that's not all.
These are the facts, but there are also the stories, the faces, the suffering.
The omnipresent harassment of the government in the lives of ordinary Americans.
In Pennsylvania, take the story of John Pozsgai, an immigrant from Hungary, who worked as a mechanic and eventually saved enough money to purchase the land bordering his home in Morrisville, Pa.
This land was an old auto junkyard, and Mr. Pozsgai, taking pride in his home, proceeded to clean up this landfill by removing 7,000 old tires and rusted-out automobiles.
However, the EPA did not view this effort as a clean-up but rather a violation of the Clean Water Act.
You see, Mr. Pozsgai's property was a "wetland," ambiguously defined by the EPA as any property that has some sort of connection to a wetland. That connection to a wetland was a small drainage ditch located on the edge of his property.
Mr. Pozsgai did not need a permit to dump topsoil on an isolated wetland.
However, the Army Corps of Engineers insisted he apply for one. Next, the EPA set up surveillance cameras to capture Mr. Pozsgai filling his land with topsoil. EPA agents then arrested him for "discharging pollutants into waters of the United States."
These "pollutants" consisted of earth, topsoil and sand. The EPA openly admits that no hazardous wastes were involved in the case, yet Mr. Pozsgai was found guilty and sentenced to three years in prison and fined $202,000. Mr. Pozsgai spent 1 1/2 years in prison, 1 1/2 in a halfway house, and was under supervised probation for five years. His family went bankrupt and was unable to pay its property taxes on the land.
You may have recently heard the case of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Sackett, of Priest Lake, Idaho, who have also fallen victim to the EPA's abusive and overbearing practices.
The Sackett family sought to build a house on their half-acre of land, yet after construction broke ground, the EPA interfered, claiming the family violated the Clean Water Act by placing fill materials into "wetlands."
Their property was designated as a wetland, yet their neighbors have built houses on either side of their lot and their lot already has established sewage lines.
Their lot does not harbor a lake, pond or stream, yet the EPA is requiring them to obtain a building permit that would cost more than the value of their land.
The Sacketts proceeded by filing suit, but the request was dismissed by a federal judge. This past month, the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in the Sackett's favor, giving them a partial victory, but leaving the regulations that harassed them in place.
The repeated abuse of power by the EPA has been noted across the country, infringing on the lives of all Americans.
Property rights were once regarded as fundamental to the protection of liberty, and it is time that legislators restore the value of personal property and do something about governmental overreach.
That's why I introduced the Defense of the Environment and Property Act, which would finally define wetlands and navigable waters in the law, and stop the out-of-control EPA and its war on private property.
And that is why it's vital you act today to help pass this crucial bill.
You can start by sending a Petition to your Congressman and Senators.
The bill is gaining steam and supporters every day in Congress, as more and more of these stories are told.
RANDPAC wants to keep telling these stories, keep up the pressure to take on the EPA and restore our liberty.
That's why it's also important you help RANDPAC with a contribution today of $100, $50, $25 - or whatever you can afford.
You can sign the Petition and contribute HERE.
One American can help take a stand and make a difference. But millions of Americans standing together can win the battle. Please consider joining this fight to restore our property rights and rein in out-of-control government.
For Liberty,
Rand Paul
United States Senator
P.S. Our economy, job growth and private property rights are at stake.
Today, I'm asking you to stand with me and start to fight back against an out-of-control federal government.
Please take a minute to fill out the "Defense of Property" petition I've had prepared for you, and if possible, lend your support today to our effort to stop the Obama EPA in its tracks.
After you complete your petition, please make your most generous contribution of $100, $50, $25 - or whatever you can afford - so RANDPAC can turn up the heat on Congress to end the EPA's war on private property.
