Proposal: Rename Drones “Wacko Birds”

Could McCain be more of a tool for the establishment?  Maybe. If he tried a little harder.

In his bid to be frequently included as a delightful dinner companion to his mentor and BFF, barack Hussein obama, McCain went all famously “Maverick” on Sen. Rand Paul by using schoolyard bully tricks and his furiously furious Maverick McFace. 

McCain quoted heavily from a Wall Street Journal editorial that slammed Paul’s filibuster on the Obama administration’s drone use, including a line that said “If Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously, he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids in college dorms.” – Politico

There it is friends – the Republican establishment is terrified that the youth will turn to the conservatives and libertarians and shove the old established order out the door.  

When asked if “these guys” — having just mentioned Amash, Cruz and Paul by name — are a “positive force” in the GOP, McCain paused for a full six seconds.”They were elected, nobody believes that there was a corrupt election, anything else,” McCain said. “But I also think that when, you know, it’s always the wacko birds on right and left that get the media megaphone.” – Huffpoo

So why was Maverick the Meany all down and dumping on Sen. Rand Paul?  Come on – you don’t need me to tell you how miffed the established RINOs were to be upstaged by a JUNIOR Senator?  And not just upstaged, but maneuvered into the painful position of being the guys who just don’t give a fuk that our President can order Death by Drone on any American, in any location, for any reason, without any due process.  At the very least the door was being opened for such, but the Paul filibuster saw to it that the DOJ was forced to admit officially that  such an action was unconstitutional and would/could not be done.

Allapundit @ Hotair :

Needless to say, if you want to marginalize Paul and the libertarians, the worst possible moment to do it is when he’s asking for a simple acknowledgment that the president can’t liquidate American citizens suspected of plotting terrorism on American soil without some sort of due process. Of all the civil-libertarian positions one could take on drones, that’s the most modest — no doubt deliberately so, as Paul knows that Obama’s refusal to grant even that much makes him look like Cheney on steroids and reduces his anti-Bush counterterror rhetoric circa 2007 to a joke.

I decided to share my feelings about the “Wacko Bird” comment and the rest of the assault of Sen. Paul by McCain (and Lindsey Graham) by sending an email to McCain (and Lindsey Graham).  The emailed letter is below, please FEEL FREE TO COPY AND SEND IT to both John McCain and Lindsey Graham.

You can always use a pseudo address in the states of Arizona and South Carolina if you are finding your email won’t go through.  For example, J. McCain has one office in Phoenix, AZ 85016 and  L. Graham has one office in Columbia, SC 29201.  You may need to add a “street address” of your own creation – it works fine this way.  Worked for me!  THE LETTER :

You Sir, are truly disgraceful!

I do believe, honestly believe, that you have lost any sense of patriotism and American pride that you may once have possessed.

To mock and deride Senator Paul is beneath contempt.

This one man had the courage and concern for American citizens that you clearly lack, and so you seek to diminish his fine actions of protecting and informing the people of this country.

Frankly it is my feeling that you no longer deserve to have a voice, or even share your opinion, because you clearly have the worst judgement that a human can be cursed with.

You are a blot on this fine state, and a national embarrassment!

You should resign immediately, but not before you offer Sen. Rand Paul a sincere and very public  apology.

Sincerely,
