On departing the RNC in Tampa yesterday, Ron Paul, his wife and grand-daughter were subjected to harassment by the TSA at a small airport in Clearwater, Florida. Eight TSA goons told the Paul entourage they would need to be screened before they would be allowed to leave because Mitt Romney might be nearby. The insinuation was obvious — Paul and his family pose a threat to the GOP presidential candidate. After a protracted examination of Ron Paul’s credentials, the agents demanded they be allowed to check the airplane for explosives.The incident ended after Ron Paul’s wife, Carol, who has a pacemaker, refused to be screened by the TSA and an aide started taking video.The disgraceful incident serves as a vicious parting shot by the establishment. The GOP has consistently sabotaged Paul’s campaign and the corporate media has either ignored the candidate or portrayed him as a radical that had absolutely no chance of winning the nomination despite his huge and unprecedented following and popularity with the American people. In March, we posted details from a report by an investigative journalist who documented efforts by GOP insiders to sabotage Paul’s campaign and thwart his supporters in the primaries and during the convention. The establishment media worked in concert with the GOP and refused to report that Paul had won the five state minimum required to be on the ballot for nomination at the Republican Convention. In addition to revealing the lengths the establishment and its lapdog media will go to harass and discredit a candidate they consider dangerously unacceptable, the incident underscores the determination of the TSA to move into smaller airports despite an effort earlier this year by Republican lawmakers to expedite the implementation of a program that would allow airports to opt out of federal security screening. Ron Paul’s son, Rand, a Senator from Kentucky, was detained earlier this year by the TSA in Nashville. Following the incident, Rand issued a press release in which he vowed to lead the charge to “end the TSA” and put a stop to the needless and humiliating groping of toddlers and grandmothers. In 2010, the elder Paul told Alex Jones that he was also molested by the TSA. During an interview with CNN, he said the TSA traps Americans into subjecting to the humiliating intrusive procedure at airports. “There’s no way you can travel if you don’t do it. So I’ve said, you know, when you look at some of these pictures of probing groin areas and breast areas and all this, and old women having to take their clothes off, if we as a people are so complacent that we can look at that and say, oh, that’s OK, they’re making us safe.” “It doesn’t make us safe. It undermines our liberties and there’s a much better way of giving us security at the airports than accepting the bureaucrats and the politicians in Washington. That is totally unacceptable from my viewpoint.” Paul said. In 2010, Paul introduced the American Traveler Dignity Act to shield Americans from the abuses of the TSA. “My legislation is simple,” he said in prepared remarks. “It establishes that airport security screeners are not immune from any US law regarding physical contact with another person, making images of another person, or causing physical harm through the use of radiation-emitting machinery on another person. It means they are subject to the same laws as the rest of us.”

There's a reason that these bastards are buying up so much ammo. They know that they've awoken genuine rage and hatred around the country. Some day someone is coming for their scalps. The higher they climb on the power ladder, the greater their fear.
Greed for power and paranoia are twin symptoms of the same disease.
God bless her. As much as I like Ron Paul I am of the opinion that every single politician (and their family members) in the United States should have to go through the most humiliating TSA inspection there is EVERY TIME THEY TRAVEL BY PLANE OR RAILWAY. If they are going to require that "we the people" be subjected to TSA humiliation then politicians should be required to lead by example. Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over and break your window - unknown I WITHDRAW MY CONSENT! What about Nancy Pelosi and her entourage flying by private Air Force jet? Who's going to feel-up that old hag and incur her wrath???

Any perceived compliance with unconstitutional “laws” or orders put forth by government employees is NOT recognition of their authority; it is simply the result of carefully calculated submission to an entity exhibiting superior firepower.

I said this on another thread today: the German traveler embarking on a Lufthansa airliner in the 1930's, IN NAZI GERMANY, was treated with more dignity and respect than American travelers are treated today. Eight TSA goons told the Paul entourage they would need to be screened

Why should there be any wrath? If it's good enough for you or I it should damned well be good enough for her. Who's going to feel-up that old hag and incur her wrath???

RP is soft, and the goons can sense fear. He has no one to blame but himself.
#12. To: Obnoxicated (#11)
To be fair, with respect to a lot of positions that many posters here agree with, RP is pretty much a lone voice in Congress, and the troops that support him are relatively small number. That is not a position of strength. The War & Welfare juggernaut is huge. You'd have to be superhuman not to be bullied in his position. RP is soft, and the goons can sense fear. He has no one to blame but himself.

“My legislation is simple,” he said in prepared remarks. “It establishes that airport security screeners are not immune from any US law regarding physical contact with another person, making images of another person, or causing physical harm through the use of radiation-emitting machinery on another person. It means they are subject to the same laws as the rest of us.” Bills Ron Paul has Sponsored in the 12th Congress Not even Dennis Kucinich moved to Cosponsor Ron Paul's effort. That's just one of many examples for why Lew Rockwell said at Paul Fest in this linked YouTube video that, in a Just World, he would be given the Medal of Freedom, as well as a Nobel Peace Prize; and Tom Woods suggested in this linked YouTube video that a good biographical book title would be, "Ron Paul: The Army of One" -- which I think says much descriptively in few words; more so against the cowardice of other Congressionals than it does about him, since he has many supporters in his Liberty, Peace and Prosperity Movement. In 2010, Paul introduced the American Traveler Dignity Act to shield Americans from the abuses of the TSA.

Socialist Unity at the Top Fails to Divide the American People Henry Shivley says: June 29, 2012 at 8:37 am. ---------- Not to say that all committees are Communist. For example, in our Founding Heritage of the American Revolution were Committees of Correspondence (rallied opposition on common causes and established plans for collective action; ex: Patrick Henry and future Presidents, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Harrison, were among Virginia's standing committee of correspondence and inquiry) and Committees of Safety: Committees of Safety formed in 1774 to keep watch on the distrusted royal government. By 1775 they had become the operating government of all the colonies, as the royal officials were expelled. Massachusetts took the lead in the appointment of a committee of safety so early as the autumn of 1774, of which John Hancock was chairman. It was given power to call out mandatory militia, with penalties for failing to respond to a call-up, and provide means of defense. It provided many of the duties of a provisional government. Other colonies appointed committees of safety. One was appointed in the city of New York, composed of the leading citizens. In the spring of 1778, the New York state legislature abolished all committees in New York in favor of "Commissioners of Conspiracy".

communism is soviet socialism. The word soviet means committee in Russian, so it is committee socialism
Many Committees of Safety were established throughout Colonial America at the start of the American Revolution. These committees in part grew out of the less formal Sons of Liberty groups, which started to appear in the 1760s as means to discuss and spread awareness of the concerns of the time, and often consisted of every male adult in the community. The local militias were usually under the control of the committees, which in turn sent representatives to county- and colony-level assemblies to represent their local interests.

Walter Reddy is the patriotic organizer of the Committees of Safety, arguably a founding father of the modern Tea Party movement, and his right to keep and bear arms has been taken from him. It doesn't matter that he has committed no crimes, and has not been charged with a crime. A Connecticut judge told him at a hearing that Reddy had no right to an attorney and that "I'm ready to rule" to take Reddy's guns away before the patriotic organizer had the chance to say one word in his defense.
