RINO Senator Lindsey Graham already spinning the Boston Bombing for enlarged government presence, drones …
While I have little or no respect for RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) who aisle-hop to assist the socialist democrats in the pursuit of their agenda, I am especially troubled when RINOs support the expansion of government and the use of military hardware/capabilities on American soil. What does Graham suggest? The right of cities, states and the federal government to use drones for surveillance, tracking – and eventually attacking and neutralizing people who are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Sen. Lindsey Graham: Boston bombing “is Exhibit A of why the homeland is the battlefield”
I spoke with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) by phone just a few minutes ago. He said of the Boston bombers: “They were radicalized somewhere, somehow.” Regardless of whether they are international or “homegrown,” he said, “This is Exhibit A of why the homeland is the battlefield.” Recalling Sen. Rand Paul’s filibuster, Graham noted that he took to the Senate floor specifically to object to Rand’s notion that “America is not the battlefield.” Graham said to me, “It’s a battlefield because the terrorists think it is.” Referring to Boston, he observed, “Here is what we’re up against,” and added, “It sure would be nice to have a drone up there [to track the suspect.]” He also slammed the president’s policy of “leading from behind and criminalizing war.” I’ll have more on my interview with Sen. Graham on Sunday. More at Sen. Lindsey Graham: Boston bombing “is Exhibit A of why the homeland is the battlefield” | Right Turn
Bottom line …
If Lindsey Graham were a little more perceptive, he would have noted that there was a helicopter with thermal imaging capabilities used to confirm the presence of the suspect hiding in the boat.
Beware of those of either political party using a crisis to push a political agenda which compromises the civil liberties of American citizens and the Constitution which limits the power of the federal government to enumerated powers.
Perhaps the best said sentiment is attributed to Benjamin Franklin … “Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security.”
