Remember, it’s only evil because its women being circumcised … Male circumcision is A-OK!

“FGM .. is usually performed on girls between the ages of four and 12 and can include partial or in extreme cases total removal of external parts of female genitalia.”

“the practice, referred to as Khatne or Sonat, is usually carried out .. without anaesthesia or prior consent .. The tools used include sharp razors.”

“a leading .. human rights lawyer, said it was tragic that such mutilation was carried out by women. .. it’s usually the mothers who insist that their daughters should be cut.”

“an extreme form of FGM known as infibulation, which involves the removal of the clitoris .. is being practised.”

“The majority of women I spoke to who were circumcised defended FGM, .. it is a tradition that had existed for hundreds of years .. Some Sunni mums even boasted that their daughters were more virtuous than the majority Shia girls because they were cut.”

Edward Snowden, a federal fugitive hiding in Russia, exposed the NSA’s illegal data collection.

Rand Paul, forced the expiration of the Patriot act by filibustering the final attempt at extending it.

Barack Obama, who in 2011 signed the law extending the Patriot act, now takes credit for it ending.

The Senate, which in 2011 voted 72-23 to extend the Patriot Act, now claim they wouldn’t have extended it under pressure with only 3 hours left to go like they did in 2011.

Nobody wanted to be on record as the senator that killed the Patriot Act, except for Rand Paul.

Edward Snowden should be given amnesty.

I can’t wait for Obama to disappear like Bush did.

President Obama on Twitter

“Glad the Senate finally passed the USA Freedom Act. It protects civil liberties and our national security. I’ll sign it as soon as I get it.”

“Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), fresh off a fight over the Patriot Act, has turned his attention to another national security battle: declassifying 28 pages of a 2002 Senate inquiry into the cause of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.”

“The issue is a politically charged one, with some claiming the pages will show that Saudi Arabia financed the attacks.”

“he does not yet intend to exercise his ability to read the pages on the Senate floor yet, saying he will try “normal legislative procedure” first”

Rand Paul calls for release of 9/11 documents

Twenty-eight pages of a Senate report remain classified

“Among those under age 35, just 25% say the risk of terrorism would increase without NSA data collection. That more than doubles to 60% among those age 65 or older.”

Yes, old people …

They won’t have to be scared for much longer …
