    You know that the phrase "certain inalienable rights, such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is not in the Constitution, right? :devilwink:

    Yes, I do. That is why I said "BTW". An aside. For some reason some people counterposed support to the second amendment to support for equal rights. Why not support the whole Constitution?

    They complain their leaders and people aren't libertarian.

    Go figure.

    Never?

    40 of them in the house, and several in the senate. Two are mentioned as likely presidential candidates in 2016.

    But you're right, nobody ever votes for them. They just showed up for work, as if elected.

    They talk like Libertarians. I don't think they'd be bombing pakistan with drones or spying on us with the NSA. You can have that. Enjoy!

    That article doesn't say what you think it does.

    A new Gallup poll shows a huge majority of Americans -- 79 percent -- supported Paul's position that drone strikes should not be used on American soil against Americans suspected of terrorism. Just 13 percent say it would be okay.

    Americans also don't support drone strikes against any suspected terrorist on American soil (25 percent support, 66 percent oppose) or against U.S. citizens suspected of terrorism abroad (41 percent support, 52 percent support).

    In fact, the only circumstance under which Americans support drone strikes is when they are used on foreign soil against non-U.S. citizens. Under that scenario, there is clear support, with 65 percent in favor and 28 percent opposed.

    Paul's position, of course, is now the position of the Obama administration as well, with Attorney General Eric Holder having issued a letter clarifying that the United States would not use drone strikes against noncombatant American citizens suspected of terrorism on American soil.

    You understand people say one thing before they're president and then do something entirely different when they sit in the big chair, right?

    Meet the new boss, same as the old.

    We'll find out when he sits in the big chair, right?

    It won't matter. Obama's going to surrender and leave (afghanistan) before next election.

    Obama is Obama.

    Is that Bush's fault or something?

    Obviously yes! If Bush hadn't been such an idiot we could be enjoying the second term of President Cheney.

    If you follow politics, you'd know that Rand, Cruz, Lee, and the others are battling it out with the establishment republicans McCain, Graham, et al.

    The establishment republicans are the ones that seem to want war as much as Obama does (Syria!).
