Je Ne Pense Pas, Donc Je Suis

By Baxter

Rand Paul, who has not had a very good week, just keeps getting sillier and sillier. Now, with his party going all hawky on fighting the terrorist group that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney created in Iraq, Rand has had to insist that he's not an America Firster. Hm, not good.

It's a problem for Mr. Circus Shirt because, in one of George H.W. Bush's favorite words, it's a "pattern." Rand Paul is constantly having to deny that he's.... well, you name it: a racist, an anti-Israel isolationist, a whacko-bird opponent of voting rights, an anti-government nut job, et cetera. People voting for a President will want to know what Randy is, not what he is not.

Now, he's started attacking the 2016 Democratic front-runner on, of all things, climate change — pronouncing as piffle Hillary Rodham Clinton's assertion that global warming is a national security threat.

He is so wrong. Just consider the cost of relocating coastal military bases getting washed out to sea, dealing with natural disasters, and everything climate change will do to fan the flames of worldwide radicalism. Our planet's altering environment is one big, hairy menace that you can't find guidance on in the pages of The Fountainhead.

And by the way, here's another thing Randy got wrong: "I don't think we really want a Commander in Chief who's battling climate change instead of terrorism," he sniffed.

Really, Rand? So, you were in the room when we nailed Osama bin Laden? We cats HISS.
