In his op-ed, Paul said that "it is almost impossible for many Americans not to feel like their government is targeting them,"

Does he mean IRS targeting? The Department of injustice? How about Ruby Ridge and Waco? How about Clive Bundy? How about the victims of all the alphabet agencies, BLM, EPA, ATF, NSA? Are we seeing a pattern here?

There is somewhat of a disconnect in what Paul is alleging. Yes, there are agencies of the Government which deliberately target conservative Americans because of their strongly held religious, economic, or civil rights beliefs. This is not the same as a police officer who is under attack by someone who just pulled a strong armed robbery. Conservatives are targeted for harassment by the Government, when they have broken no laws. That is not the same as being targeted for arrest because of a strong armed robbery, and having to use deadly force in self defense against a violent strong armed robber.
