Of Rand Paul's Big Filibuster

“The country needs more senators who care about liberty, but if Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously, he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids in their college dorms. He needs to know what he’s talking about.”

-- Senator John McCain

A funny quote, I thought.

I hate it either way. But Obama isn't seeking authority to kill anyone anywhere at any time.

It's unfortunate that the president needs to be shamed into admitting this, however.

Holy crap, I agree with you. Drone strikes on Americans, man, we're discussing DRONE STRIKES ON AMERICANS. This country went insane on 9/11/01.

No, see, you're just missing the nuance.

I thought we didn't do nuance.

Same rules apply as to any military strike on U.S. soil. Would you have suggested that the military not shoot down the 4th 9/11 plane had it made its passengers not crashed it?

Because if you believe that yes, the Military should have shot down the plane before the terrorists crashed it into the White House then you support "drone strikes on American's, man!"

I didn't like his attitude.

Attitude has nothing to do with the factual statements of an argument. You're performing a Tone Argument if you use that rationale.
