I plan to just that.
Ron Paul is no longer a kook except to the Neocons like Steve and Bob.
As many know I support and work with a Irish dance school. The other night some Christian parents that teach religious education were talking about a program called "Safe Child". I asked what that was and they said it's a program that all people who deal with kids are suppose to go through. It's to teach adults how to behave with children. Under this program giving a child a hug is wrong. Showing any type of affection or love is also wrong. Apparently though, if you are a TSA agent groping children and their private parts is alright. No "safe Child" program with these guys. Over my dead body.

yes, he is still just as much of a kook. he is also becoming a more skilled attention whore with the ability to cash in on a headline. nobody was getting spooled up enough about auditing the fed, but on this one he's got Drudge doing his PR for him every day.

So are you saying you disagree with RP on this? The bottom-line is, kook or not, RP was ahead of most of the Rep Old Boys Club including the last Presidential candidate we fielded, on this. Way ahead. So whether you think he's nuts or not, some grudging kudos are possibly in order for being out ahead of the crowd. (Also called "leadership" as opposed to following along like a good partisan.) Also, one might want to re-evaluate their assessment of his kookiness if RP is right on this. I mean, he might be like, right on a few other things, like auditing the Fed? Or not? No offense, just sayin'... Also, wasn't one of the knocks on RP that he wasn't well enough known to be effective? That he had sound ideas but had such a bad presentation and was so unknown that his ideas could never get airplay? Isn't being an attention whore a good thing in this case? Or maybe not...

I think auditing the fed is a good idea. Blind hog/acorn. Haven't looked at the TSA bill yet....but I fly all the time so I hate the whole system already, and nobody has even tried to feel me up yet.

Cole, you don't understand the dilemma that Steve is in especially on this one. If Steve admits RP is right on this one then Steve has to admit his stalwart conservative President George W. Bush really screwed the pooch with adding a Homeland Secuirty Department and a Transportation Secuirty Agency. Steve, being the good partisan Neocon that is, isn't about to admit that to himself or any one else for that matter. No offense is intended here toward Steve and I'm sure Steve is a good guy but politically Steve is a part of the problem not part of the solution.

Just heard that a California DA (elect) is planning to station deputies at the airport ready to arrest TSA agents should they touch someone's crotch, breasts, or buttocks. If the touch is outside the pants, they will be charged with a misdemeanor. If inside the pants, they will be charged with a felony.

Do we need another law to protect a right already granted in the Constitution?
