Like a stand-up comedian with a political edge, Rand Paul deployed some witty one-liners after President Barack Obama’s comments on Friday about reforming the National Security Agency.“What I think I heard is that if you like your privacy, you can keep it,” Paul, the Republican senator from Kentucky, said in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “But in the meantime, we’re going to keep collecting your phone records, your email, your text messages and, likely, your credit card information.”In Friday's speech, Obama called for limited reforms on how the NSA collects information, promising that the United States would no longer eavesdrop on world leaders and would rein in the vast collection of Americans' phone data."The reforms I'm proposing today should give the American people greater confidence that their rights are being protected, even as our intelligence and law enforcement agencies maintain the tools they need to keep us safe," the president said.Aside from the promise not to eavesdrop on world leaders, Obama largely left other proposed reforms up for discussion, effectively shifting the debate to congressional leaders.Paul had another snappy response, when noting that Obama referenced American Revolution figure Paul Revere in his remarks.“He mentioned Paul Revere. But Paul Revere was warning us about the British coming,” Paul said. “He wasn’t warning us that the Americans are coming.”
this guy is like a kid who stole daddy's gun and went on a pot shot joy ride. that kind of stuff is ok in the house with the other racist but to use that childish giggle crap little kid exaggerations in public says little of your adulthood.
Later in the interview, Paul said he's opposed to all massive data collection, by both the federal government and the private sector. Beyond civil liberty concerns, Paul said such massive surveillance just isn't practical."Who are we going to hire, Eric Snowden's contractor to hold all the information?" Paul said, laughing at his own joke.Paul said Snowden "probably" broke the law in his leaking of classified information but said it is also the catalyst for the current debate over surveillance reform."I don't think we'd be here, and I think there'd be absolutely no reform had there not been the releases by Snowden," Paul said.
he does not know whether Snowden broke the law, but he sure knows his one liners thisis not funny the man ran to our opponents on the global stage and spilled the beans, he could have gotten a lawyer and found a media outlet to blow his whistle same effect except he wouldn't be seen as a traitor selling security to our opposition with a smile.
Paul he's just a racist clown with not a comedy bone in his body. they are not serious.
