Rand Paul is Pissing Off Peter King and the GOP, By Standing Up For His Values

rand, paul, is, pissing, off, peter, king, and, the, gop,, by, standing, up, for, his, values, It looks like the "Old Guard" of the Republican party is at it again.
Over the weekend, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) went on Fox News to attack Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), claiming that Paul's anti-NSA accusations are based on "lies" and that he "doesn't deserve to be a U.S. Senator," adding, "Rand Paul does not know what he's talking about ... and is really spreading fear among the American people," King added.
King also suggested Paul might be "part of that hate-America crowd."
wow they are taking their civil war to Fox it will be interesting to see whose side they take old school or T-P bigot?
Lies? Scaring the American people? King can't be serious.
Whether or not one agrees with Paul, those in Congress and the media who promote foreign wars, suspension of civil liberties, and authoritarian government are the real liars and fearmongers. 
As journalist Glenn Greenwald has shown  in great detail, virtually every justification made by NSA defenders has been a lie or great exaggeration.
 Fearmongering is standard, with the omnipresent Islamic terrorist bogeyman hiding under every bed. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), one of the NSA's most vocal supporters, even  invoked the 9/11 attacks to justify illegal surveillance.
And let's not even get started on the foreign wars, especially in Iraq, which King and his allies support. It's hard to find a better example of emotional manipulation, propaganda and lies than when the U.S. tries to sell an unnecessary, aggressive war.
the right names everybody else and with bigotry dripping off each word, they are the ones who lied us into Iraq and Afghanistan and are still lying about all except when their mouths are closed but that inane smile tells it all.
It's easy to see why King is so visibly upset. King and the hyper-nationalistic authoritarianism that has defined him and the "Old Guard" of the GOP for decades no longer have a monopoly on debate and public opinion in America when it comes to such important issues as foreign policy and civil liberties.
So what exactly is Paul doing, according to King, that is not worthy of those hallowed, holy halls of the U.S. Senate?
In barely four years, Paul has built up quite the resume. He filibustered for over 13 hours on the Senate floor excoriating President Obama's drone war, uniting left and right behind him and helping to shed light on an issue shrouded in darkness and secrecy.
Paul led a bipartisan effort to strip the National Defense Authorization Act of the power to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens, but it was defeated by (surprise, surprise) Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.). He also advocates a much more restrained foreign policy, and is preparing to sue the NSA for its virtual abolishment of the Fourth Amendment.
so what does that do to make his "PRINCIPLES" formerly known as "VALUES"any different they are still republican still racist still bigotted and still liars and cheaters of American rights to vote, because they know they don't have the support they need to be honestly voted for, this changes nothing he is still him my rememberance will always be,
his aid kicking that women in the neck on a curn neo Nazi style.
