Rand Paul's "Mr. Smith" Moment

Unless you've been hiding under a rock that last few days, you know that the biggest story in politics this week has been the nearly 13 hour filibuster by the junior senator of Kentucky, Rand Paul. The purpose of Senator Paul's filibuster was the issue of how the US government can and could use so-called "drone", including potentially using them against US citizens. While that issue is certainly an important one, not to mention terribly complicated, it's the aftermath of this filibuster that interests me more.

CNN Panel and Cop-killer Dorner: Idiocy Ensues!

First off, I need to get something out of the way when it comes to this Christopher Dorner business before I rip CNN a new one...

I'll be blunt: I couldn't give two rat asses about Christopher Dorner beyond the fact the man was a cop-killing murderer. I don't care about his "manifesto" (which I have no interest in ever reading), or his pathetic attempt to justify his actions. I don't care about his sob-story about how he was unjustly fired from the LAPD or any of that crap. Here is all I care about or need to know: he was a murderer and an absolutely pathetic excuse for a human being. That fact he has some opinions about politics or anything else is completely mute because he is a criminal and as far as I'm concerned, criminals have no right to an opinion that anyone should give a crap about.

Sadly, back in Iowa we have a lot of these hypocritical and worthless pieces of crap too. The only comfort I take from stories like this is someday they are going to have to explain this hateful and unchristian behavior to a, lets say "higher power"... and boy are they in for a SHOCK.

Hate to Say I Told You So...

Arguably the biggest political story of this past week was NOT the Senate hearings on the Benghazi terrorist attack or the Pentagon lifting the ban on women in the military serving on the front lines. It was a story that broke yesterday: A Federal court has called President Obama's recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board more than a year ago was unconstitutional. Funny, because I swear I've heard that argument before somewhere...

I'm glad the administration says they plan to appeal this decision to the U.S. Supreme Court because the dangerous precedent President Obama set with this action a year ago NEEDS to be challenged and put under as much legal scrutiny as possible and where better to decide it than the highest court in the land?

National Review: Women are Too Weak for Frontline Service

As some of you have probably heard, out-going Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has announced that for the 1st time in American history, women serving in the military will be allow to serve on "the front-line". Big story right? Well, that seems to depend on whether you've had your head stuck firming up your a@@ for the last 10+ years..
