Do tell.

that you're a liar like all fibber-tarians? Hell, anyone can see that when you alter people's posts and then click the arrow to see your folly. As shown here: http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/rand-paul-epic-isis-flip-flop

I love the images of dead brown babies. That's why I support Barack "Eternal War" Obama and Hillary "Queen Drone Them All" Clinton

We know.

And it's obvious that Sheogorath is just another neocon/teabagger/fibbertarian crank suffering from intellectual impotency....therefore Sheogorath is not worth responding to. What's telling is that the folks who run this board allow this clown to be a moderator that can't be IA'ed. Pathetic.

Maybe you should spend more than no time at all learning about Libertarianism before you ascribe something to, war monger.

I’m an Iraq vet and I can’t agree more with this article. We’re over 18 trillion in debt and we can’t keep spending on things like 40 million for a gas station in Afghanistan and billions on “moderate Syrian rebels.” The Pentagon needs a full audit and our defense dollars need to be spent wisely.

Our debt is our biggest national security risk.

"During the recent Fox Business News – Wall Street Journal Republican Primary debate, United States senators Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) had what was probably one of the most meaningful exchanges so far in the race to decide the party’s nominee for president.

Paul and Rubio traded jabs over military spending, an issue that has divided many in the Republican party, and there’s little consensus on who won the exchange. That being said, the neoconservatives like Rubio are wrong when it comes to military spending and it’s time the Republican party, as a whole, realize it.

Let’s be clear about something. When Paul says you’re not a serious conservative if you’re willing to spend another $1 trillion, on loan from China, on the Department of Defense (DOD), he says so because the DOD is rife with fraud and waste.

For example, the DOD spent $2 million dollars for every one Syrian rebel they trained. Guess what? The majority of them never showed up to fight on our behalf after being trained. That’s right, $2 million to train one person that never showed up. The DOD also spent $43 million to build one single gas station in Afghanistan, which will never be used. If that wasn’t enough, Congress recently pushed $436 million on weapons that military experts explicitly said are not needed. Should they really keep getting blank checks?"

Why is your post to Neocons......the spending you're going on about was money spent by Obama...it didn't get spent without his blessing...

If Obama wasn't wasting this money on bullshit, it could be spent on actual military goods we need, maybe even benefits for veterans.

The most important DUTY of gov. is to protect its citizens, and that means a strong military.

Fraud and waste ?....the DOD ?.....the entire gov. is rife with it....we've lost control over the entire gov. ...its too big, too cumbersome, and thieves are running the show with
bloated budgets, wages and pension plans....a personal friend of mine will retire form his gov. job with a about a 130,000 dollar a year retirement, an hes a relative nobody...

I found a pic of BLABO "serving", I think.

Poor BLABO.

I agree with Rand Paul's opinion on military spending. If spending cuts are necessary across the board to get our country back on track then the military spending should not be ignored.

Would you vote for Paul?

 

[The Dude]

Would you vote for Paul?

[Norah]

Would you vote for Paul?

Yeah he is a real contender for me right now. I like him and I like Ted Cruz.

If that aircraft existed when I served, that very well could have be me.....and proud of it..
though we didn't actually wash our planes then.....I fueled 'em, parked 'em, maintained 'em and even started one up when no one was looking.....


...were you a draft dodging coward like Clinton or just a plain coward when it came time to serve your country ? Or was it your mental handicap ?

Thank you soo much for that
The comedy has been dry here

Don't care if he's a vet or not, he's right. Defense dollars must be spent WISELY.

 

[The Dude]

It's the offense dollars educated people are worried about

Translation: bury our collective heads in the sand like ostriches and let despots, dictators and tyrants run roughshod over our allies.

We don't have a deficit problem because of the war in Iraq or Afghanistan or due to military spending. We have a massive deficit spending problem because of mandated entitlement spending all passed by liberal democrats going back to FDR.

$2 million isn't even a minor rounding error in the current budget or debt.

I agree with Rand on ONE thing; we should always "audit" DOD spending and even the Fed. But the better question is who do we entrust this to; certainly not the politicians that legislate these outfits.

I am very suspect about the claims of a $43 million dollar gas station; that sounds like a massive exaggeration to say the least. Perhaps they meant a gas refinery?

How could entititlements be the cause of deficit spending?
