Senator, Rand Paul 

Guts, Cojones, Big Brass Ones, Leadership, pick your superlative and check out Sen. Rand Paul.  He is conducting an oral filibuster in Hairy Reids do nothing Senate.  

Paul said that all presidents must honor the Fifth Amendment. “No American should ever be killed in their house without  warrant and some kind of aggressive behavior by them,” Paul said on the Senate floor. “To be bombed in your sleep? There’s nothing American about that . . . [Obama] says trust him  because he hasn’t done it yet. He says he doesn’t intend to do so, but he might. Mr. President, that’s not good enough . . . so I’ve come here to speak for as long as I can to draw attention to something that I find to really be very disturbing.”
“I will not sit quietly and let him shred the Constitution,” Paul added.”No person will be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process,” he said, quoting the Fifth Amendment.


Senator Ted Cruz has now joined him.  Senator Ted Cruz praised Senator Rand Paul on the Senate floor today for his filibuster. "Your standing here today like a modern Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," said Cruz, referencing the famous film, "must surely be making Jimmy Stewart smile."

This is history boys & girls.  This is what a leader does when there is a vacuum to be filled.


John McCain? Lyndsey Graham? Mitch McConnell? Other Republican "leaders"......Where are ya at boys?  Mount up and ride to the sound of the drums!
