Eric Holder finally responds but why so Long for such a response?


   Today after a 13 hour Filibuster by Senator Rand Paul Eric Holder FINALLY delivered an answer to a question that was first raised a month and a half after it was first Raised.

  What was the question?

“Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on an American soil?"

Arrogant Egotistical Idiotic thug Senator John McCain and equally idiotic and wimpy Senator Lindsay Graham made fun of Senator Rand Paul for holding the White House to the fire over the question but what both Senators Graham and McCain and the Press at large are ignoring is why did it take so long for the White House to Answer.

  Yes Eric Holder Finally said NO!  But why did it take so long and with so much hemming and hawing in between?

  I mean shoot a there should have been no hesitation.  Instead there was tons of hesitation, which suggests they are holding out the possibility that they could indeed shoot Americans with Weaponized drones on American Soil, not engaged in American Soil.  

  This scares the royal Hog Huey out of me and it should scare the royal hog Huey out of all Americans but for some reason it doesn't I wonder why?????

  Did the president really think at some point he may need to use Weaponized Drones on Americans on US Soil not engaged in Combat and Why?????????????????

   Keep in mind Our Very Own US Congress ok'd the use of Drones over the US.


Drones over U.S. get OK by Congress

 

Look! Up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It’s … a drone, and it’s watching you. That’s what privacy advocates fear from a bill Congress passed this week to make it easier for the government to fly unmanned spy planes in U.S. airspace.
The FAA Reauthorization Act, which President Obama is expected to sign, also orders the Federal Aviation Administration to develop regulations for the testing and licensing of commercial drones by 2015.
Privacy advocates say the measure will lead to widespread use of drones for electronic surveillance by police agencies across the country and eventually by private companies as well.
“There are serious policy questions on the horizon about privacy and surveillance, by both government agencies and commercial entities,” said Steven Aftergood, who heads the Project on Government Secrecy at the Federation of American Scientists.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation also is “concerned about the implications for surveillance by government agencies,” said attorney Jennifer Lynch.
The provision in the legislation is the fruit of “a huge push by lawmakers and the defense sector to expand the use of drones” in American airspace, she added.
According to some estimates, the commercial drone market in the United States could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars once the FAA clears their use.
The agency projects that 30,000 drones could be in the nation’s skies by 2020.

     These drones can be used to help catch criminals.  But they can also be used to spy on every day normal citizens for simple things such as disagreeing with the Administration or even something such as daring to smoke or even over eating.
   SMOKING and OVEREATING?  You ask.   Why would I bring those up?  Well get this Obamacare is set to issue fines for those that would dare smoke and the like if they are on Obamacare.  These fines are in the neighborhood of $5,000 

It would not surprise me if Obama even uses the cost of the purchase of the Drones as the reason to charge such huge fines and taxes.   
  But whether they do or not.  Our freedoms are disappearing yet again and Obama and our Congress including idiots like McCain and Graham are letting them get away with it and our US media is standing by quietly allowing it to occur.
  I guarantee if it was GWB or Reagan or any other Republican President that took this long to answer such a simple question  or ordered 30,000 drones the Media would be blasting that Republican President morning noon and night 25 hours a day and liberal talking points would be sent to ALL democratic talking heads to run to every news outlet including Fox News screaming about the obvious Rights violations.
  So why is the US Media silent now.
   Please! Please!  Please!   Send this to everyone you know.  I do not care about people reading my blog.  We need for every one to know what is about to occur and tell the President and Congress to back off.
   I applaud Rand Paul for bringing this simple question and the Administrations refusal to answer to our attention and shake my head at idiot senators that were willing to let President Obama and his administration to get away with a non answer.
